And people want to overthink that, IMO.
This isn't about 'energy' or 'enthusiasm'.
Edman's simply playing better than Carpenter did. And Wieters isn't a young man by any stretch, he's simply a better player than Molina is.
Bader's part of that 'young group' and the team's played better as he's been rotated out more because he was just a terrible, terrible hitter.
This isn't about old players vs. young players. It's not experience vs. enthusiasm. It's just moving on from non-productive players and letting guys who are demonstrating the ability to help the team have those ABs.
But they're going to shove Molina and Carpenter back into this lineup as soon as they can so we'd better make hay while the sun is shining. Those 2 will continue to impair the Cards ability to win ballgames.
