Speaking of drake, he's starting to hit in Mississippi. Back to back multi hit games. Braves catcher factory never sleeps

Elder got smoked last night. We suck on these west coast trips.
Elder against a team with a pulse offensively is like Russian roulette
Cardinals pitching staff is looking pretty meh/average which is far better than they’ve been the last 2 years. Finally around .500
I definitely agree. The homerun has ruined the art of hitting.....just my opinion.
What do you think the problem is? Obviously injuries is a factor...outside of that, Riley has been trash, Olson is just now getting on track, Michael Harris has been Sub par IMO, Albies is meh. What am I missing?
I think most of these guys have always been crazy streaky players by nature. Acuna was the most surprising obviously, but you have a lot of overly aggressive guys geared for power. The dead balls haven’t helped but I think it’s as simple as guys just slumping hard, magnified by it being so many on the same team with huge expectations. I still think most of these guys turn it around eventually, we have too much of a track record on everyone not named Kelenic.
I do think Duvall needs to be upgraded desperately as soon as possible. He’s not an everyday player at this point. Joc or Rooker would give this team some juice. Would love to improve at SS too but not sure that’s doable with our farm system and payroll being close to maxed out
