3 errors in the last 4 games. Supposed to be his "natural" position. Doesn't look so "natural" over there so far.

Sloppy shitty baseball and a complete lack of hitting with RISP. Frustrating. |

I don't understand why this team cannot hit?
Am I just stupid? Outside of Borjous and Wong this looked like a salty lineup at the beginning of the season. |

If you want to get the Cardinals out just pitch inside. No one is willing/able to turn on a pitch, and when they get jammed trying to inside out it, a bunch of feeble flares result.

I know it's only been 20 games, but not hitting plagued us last season in the WS.
In all fairness, I still think we will win the NL central. This offense just leaves me scratching my head sometimes. |

Now, part of that was due to aberrational hitting with RISP, but they were still an excellent offense. What hurts them is the need to string together multiple hits to plate runs because they lack almost all power. Allen Craig needs to be hitting 25 HR a year, not 13, and Adams and Holliday need to be at/around 30.

I got to thinking and you're right. That's why I edited my comment. I forgot that we destroyed the record for hitting with RISP last season.
I'm hoping Holiday will heat up as the weather does. He is typically that kind of hitter, no? |

To be fair, way too many Cardinal hitters are taking bad at bats. I'm getting real sick of seeing Robinson take those late in the game PH at bats. He has never done shit to warrant a free ride. We have Butler who is hitting .400 with power. Why not call him up? We picked him up off the waiver wire, he's no prized prospect.

Robinson has no value. Send him packing. We are not putting our best team out there to win. Robinson isn't our future. If Butler doesn't produce at the big show level then we are not any worse off than we are now with Robinson taking those AB's.

What about letting Taveras take Robinson's at bats? That would make sense to me seeing as how we need a power bat and I've seen him labeled as a "Vlad Guerrero" type ceiling.

Do you want someone that young playing one quarter time? He's not going to reach his ceiling on the bench. And while I am no huge Robinson fan, I'd rather move Jay, who is still overrated and has some trade value.
