I dont remember the plan as specifically as you are stating it but I think a good organization makes a plan and changes as the need to. Arenado didn't traded. That had a big impact on Gorman. He has not impressed anybody with his play. The team played better than expected with mostly young players fill8ng rhe roster. I think so far the season has been a success. Gorman has no place to get regulat time as the team is playing well. If you play him despite that what are saying to the other players who have worked hard this year to be successful?

You all seem to be worked up over one player not getting at bats while ignoring the success many of the young players have had tgis year. Or you re worked up because we didnt follow some "plan" to the letter. Many disagree with you..

Having said all of that, i hope Gorman has a great game today and then pushes for more playing time by showing he deserves it over somebody else. The rookie version of Gorman, just like the rookie version of Dylan Carlson, was intriguing and I would love to see it again. But not by giving undeserved chances to some while other perform better.

Good points!

Arenado not getting traded has stalled Gorman’s full time at bats. The success of Walker, Winn, Herrara, Scott and Donovan has reduced his need in this lineup. I hope we have just delayed his opportunities until after the trade deadline. My guess is NG will be one of our starting 3B in August and September.

Obviously not a thing wrong with Gorman's bat speed or exit velocity.
He had the best looking PA's on the team today.
Simply needs playing time.
Nothing more complicated than that.

The Cards need to hire that motivational speaker from The Natural:
“Losing is a disease.....ah.....but curable!”
