For MLB Network host Greg Amsinger it's not just that Jordan Walker hasn't lived up to expectations--it's the where & when of those struggles that has him frustrated... "I want to see him fail hitting 2nd & 3rd." #TheOpeningDrive 🎧

@MLBNetwork I don't care if Walker is hitting 2nd,3rd or 8th, it doesn't matter when you pull the front side, he has been awful. This a bad take by Greg.

@MLBNetwork He is so right same thing with Winn.He is a leadoff hitter,why in the hell do we have super utility guy leading off it’s madning and that’s why we can’t remember the Cardinals developing prospects since Pujols,who frankly they didn’t develop he was just special

@MLBNetwork Doesn't matter where he hits in the lineup if he doesn't get his swing fixed. It's so obvious he opens up and pulls off every pitch. WTF did he work on all off season?

@MLBNetwork No disrespect intended, but what makes Mr. Amsinger an expert on player development?

@MLBNetwork Man this is a terrible take. If you watched his at bats you would realize quickly that he didn’t belong near the 2 or 3 hole. I love Walker but you can’t just push someone up in the order and hope it fixes his problems. Especially when the team is trying to win now.

@MLBNetwork The amount of talk and disrespect I’m seeing over a player that is barely 21 years old is insane. Sorry every prospect can’t be 100% ready to compete and be at an MLB level, but you don’t need to disrespect a practical kid who’s trying. It’s unreal.

@MLBNetwork "Hey, this guy is getting dominated. Let's put him in the most impactful spot in the lineup. "

@MLBNetwork Remember when he was raking last yr and they sent him down to “fix” his launch angle, and he was never the same? I do.

@MLBNetwork Maybe you shouldn’t bat him 8th around a bunch of .159 hitters.

@MLBNetwork This is spot on and a great observation. Having Siani as protection or Nolan Arenado. But then Oli has to go left right left right. God forbids two righties batting in a row. Olis lineup construction is trash.
