ATLANTA • Jeremy Hazelbaker, who has two homers and a double in six at-bats, is in the Cardinals’ lineup Saturday night against the Atlanta Braves and Randal Grichuk, one for 14 with eight strikeouts, is out.
The same thing happened the other day in Pittsburgh and Grickuk, at the time, said he was “feeling” for the ball rather than swinging freely.
On Saturday, he said, “That’s still the problem.”
So, after doing his normal pre-game hitting Saturday, Grichuk said he took about four times as many swings as he would have in the batting cage.
