Will the bully hold this game?

[Wattage]

LoL... UniKKKorn


Never been anything like him

169/278/305/583

Poor old Mel-vin

Wrong on Noot..........really wrong on his UniKKKorn

It’s getting bad. Almost to the point whatever Mehl says do do the opposite.

With each pass game (and failure) Gorman (and Walker) slip closer and close to "bust" territory.

I wonder if C. Bloom in 2026 will try to re-habilitate them or just cut the cord and move on?

If they have time left still, to go back down...you send them down, unless someone wants to trade for them or in a package

Gorman has 2 option years left. Walker only has 1 since we added him to 40man to make opening day roster so prematurely only to have to send him down

Agreed

Let them have some time at Memphis under the new regime, see if they can fix them.

Unless, as you said, some team comes calling w/a solid offer.

Sending them to AAA hasn’t helped him. So unless they bring in a new AAA coaching staff, I don’t see it doing much good. And it would be the final option so that kills any value he might have imo.

But maybe it would under Bloom/Cerfolio and I believe 100% they'll bring in their own new blood both down below and here in St. Louis!

I don’t mind Barrero but would rather see Saggese getting those AB’s

[ramfandan]

So why with a 3 run lead didn't the Cards have Scott II attempt to steal 2nd in the entire Barrero at bat ?
If Barerro makes an out , you have Noot coming to bat with Victor on 2nd .. a single scores Scott 95% of the time.

It didn't come to fruition with Noot's fly ball out but it would have looked stupid to me to have Noot getting a base hit and Scott doesn't score a run for the Cards. It was time to play aggressive and add more insurance.

Perfect this season on SB's

Only Oli can stop VSII

We ran too much in the 80s and feel poorly about it.

Barrero is a better bench player and offers value at more positions defensively --- Saggese may still be part of the future so if you bring him up he needs to play more often than Barrero has.

[Hoosier59]

Scott has been on base 3 times today, hasn’t tried a steal yet! When he has reached Chip always says, “ Let’s see if Scott wants to run here”. Of course he does! Oli won’t let him!

[Alex Reyes Cy Young]

Walks galore

Not true.

I'm the last guy to defend Oli but perhaps Scott just couldn't get a read or didn't feel "right". Never know when a guy who plays everyday is nursing something.

[82birds]

Walks galore

one perfect strike to leadof hitter was called a ball by Wolfe.
that didn't help

[cbcloud]

...A leadoff walk to the Mets in the 8th makes 7 so far in the game... Cards playing with fire here with McNeil batting...

[82birds]

Willson nice short hop catch and good throw to 2nd for the force

The guy was quick to the plate and he might not have a good read...Oli has let Argo steal when he wants. He's done it all season.
