Winn's fly ball was not an out......ball hitting the ground before Betts glove....hard to challenge your first AB but it would have been won....

Hard to argue with that. He's certainly been the most consistent since the all star break

I guess Alec Burleson is now a platoon player in the eyes of the Cardinal organzation.

Ryllini · Aug 18, 2024

Boots on the ground today, sorry I couldn’t bring it home. Clayton was good today. I thought at the start of the second we didn’t make him work at all which led to a lifeless offense. Stadium was was quiet and lacked any juice today.

I'm sure it had nothing to do with them facing a tough leftie in Kershaw.

The Cardinals portion of the stadium was. Heard the Dodgers fans in the stadium many times throughout the game.

Maybe. But Burleson did not start last Monday in Cincinnati. And he did not start Friday night versus the Dodgers. Two other lefties not named Kershaw.

Or they realize Burleson sucks against left hand pitching. Barely clearing the Mendoza Line this season
