GDT: Cards vs. Astros (4/16) ~ 12:15pm CDT

Thx duce

Idiotic to slot WillyC back in the #2 hole (again today) after he did well down in the order, typical moron Oli.

And what's this continued love affair w/Bumbles?

Get over it Oli.

[Mort Gage]

Contreras back in the 2 hole and Burleson (86 OPS+) for Gorman (189 OPS+) again and batting 5th.

I thought Mo's plan was to get Gorman 600 PAs this year. Maybe he needs to have a talk with Oli. Oli must get a charge out of seeing Burleson slap the occasional single.

Whats really weird is he played gorman coupke games agi vs a lefty keeping saggese on the bench but now benches gorman for sahgese vs the righty. Quite frankly, both should get bats over burly. Its time to move on from him.

If I were Bloom I'd want to see as much of Gorman as I could so I know what I have going forward. But with this goofy two boss arrangement he may not have much of a voice in this year's team. Burleson is a known quantity with a low ceiling. Maybe a bench bat for a contender or DH for the Rockies or White Sox.

[Mort Gage]

Been wondering when Svanson would get the call.
Can someone please take Burleson away from Oli?

Why is Burly being given so much PT with his low OBP and SLG and OPS? Gorman needs to be in there almost every day. Did Oli not get the memo?

I hope Bloom moves Burly to another team in the offseason.

The hand that holds the bottle says drink it till it’s gone. But now that it’s half empty I’m not sure I can go on.

"did Oli not get the memo?"

Yeah, idk what the deal is but I would even rather see Baker than Burleson no matter who's pitching.
Of course, Gorman is the obvious answer. Maybe his hammy is still barking?

Why wait? I'd be shopping him now!

Expecting Mozeliak to move an Oli pet is expecting too much.

BINGO MG

At least (per Bernie) Bloom stepped up and inserted LIbby into the starting rotation at the end of camp when it appeared Mo/Oli were happy to leave him in the pen'.

Oli wants to win now to save his job, if that's even possible. I think Mo is caught between wanting to position the team for the future and going out on a high note. Bloom is concerned with '26 and beyond. Conflicting objectives.

Oli has little to no chance of keeping his job unless the Cardinals surprise and win the NLC. Even then Bloom (hopefully) will want his own guy, only BDWJr could then keep Oli (under contract for 26').

Mo has been on cruise control, he's just running out the clock (R.O.A.D.).

Wait, you said Libby would never make it as a starter. Now because you think Bloom made the move it's the best thing ever?

#STLCards manager Oli Marmol said Masyn Winn back spasms) and Iván Herrera (left knee) are progressing to hitting in the cages and playing catch. Neither will travel to New York this weekend, but Winn could join the team in Atlanta. He is eligible to come off the IL on Tuesday.

I forgot which player it was but Matheny became so fixated with him in spite of his poor performance Mo had to take him away.

Brandon Moss????

I think it was Allen Craig who Matheny sent out to RF every day despite Craig hitting about .160 for months.
Mozeliak traded Craig at deadline to Red Sox.
