Jordan Walker Is Doing Something He's NEVER Done Before | Cards Central 365: Mondays w/ Mike
Jordan Walker just launched a 459-foot grand slam and the scary part is, that might not even be the most impressive thing he's doing right now. His plate discipline has completely changed, and Joe Roderick and Mike Claiborne explain why this version of Walker should have the rest of the National League paying attention. On this episode of Mondays With Mike, Joe and Mike dive deep into what's different about Jordan Walker in 2026. It's not just the power, it's what he's NOT swinging at. Walker's walk rate is up, he's laying off pitches he used to chase, and pitchers are noticing. When a guy with that kind of raw power starts showing discipline, the at-bats become a nightmare for opposing pitching staffs. The guys talk about how Walker has matured at 23 years old and what that growth looks like on a nightly basis.They also break down how a lineup injury opened the door for Walker to move up to the cleanup spot, and whether Oli Marmol should keep him there. With Walker and Nolan Gorman slotting in back to back, the middle of this Cardinals order suddenly has a different feel to it. 🔨 Presented by Graybar https://www.graybar.com/ 🎨 Claibs is powered by Painting & Decorating Foundation https://stlouispdf.org/ 👑 Presented by DraftKings.

This Is Why The Cardinals Are Suddenly Fun Again | Mondays w/ Mike
The Cardinals aren’t perfect… but something about this team feels completely different. And it might actually matter more than wins right now. Joe Roderick and Mike Claiborne break down what stood out from Opening Weekend, including improved defense, aggressive baserunning, and a team that’s finally putting pressure on opponents again. The guys touch Jordan Walker’s adjustments and Nolan Gorman’s power, plus the renewed emphasis on speed and manufacturing runs. 🔨 Presented by Graybar https://www.graybar.com/ 🎨 Claibs is powered by Painting & Decorating Foundation https://stlouispdf.org/ 👑 Presented by DraftKings.
