2025 St. Louis Spring Training Games thread

Any information on when Walker will be back playing?

Only 2 weeks until the home opener. After 3 games against the arch rival Twins, the regular season will amp up the high drama with 3 more edge of your seat battles against the hated Angels…

Roby was optioned to Springfield after the game. I have been impressed by him this spring though and am crossing my fingers he can stay healthy.

I saw this article on Luken Baker last night

Increase in bat speed

#STLCards manager Oliver Marmol said if all goes well over the next couple of days OF Jordan Walker (left knee irritation) will return to game action on Saturday.

Walker, who ho has been out since last Tuesday, has taken BP and tracked fly balls over the last two days.

If he does, he does.

Sometimes change is an agent for improvement.

Even Carpenter had a year like that after he left StL.

It would be nice to get one of those for ourselves though that would require signing a player…..

I like this lineup, for the most part. If Walker and Siani can prove consistent at the plate. Then again, this is a “reset” year with the same old faces.

I would say there is a higher likliehood that Winn is offered a long term extension if he has another stellar year in 2025. Winn and Weatherholt can exist on the same roster.

Yes I know it is spring training but Sonny Gray was awful today. Had to be relieved in the second third and fourth innings. Had no command of any of his pitches.

On another note, during the broadcast they stated that the Marlins have a pitching machine that uses AI to replicate opponents starting pitchers. Said all of the Marlins hitters used it this morning while it replicated Sonny Gray. I wonder if we have this system?

Isn’t this the time of year when the Cardinals announce that one of their starting pitchers (Sonny Gray) is going to be shut down and eventually lost for the season.

Sonny Gray got pounded today.

I had three Catfish Fiddlers this past Friday, 14 March.

Soon we will have DDR (Din-Din Reports) almost every day.

p.s. I survived the tornado that went right past my house late Friday/early Saturday morning. I was going to head downstairs but I couldn’t find Whitey Herdog (she was under the bed) so I just sat on my couch. I do have siding missing, guttering gone, tree limbs in my yard, and my post on my mailbox snapped in two.
