Why the hell is Gorman not starting? Guy had 2 hits against lefties yesterday. This is just stupidity.rockondlouie wrote: ↑13 Jul 2025 11:43 amYou can't make this sheet up ronnie.Ronnie Dobbs wrote: ↑13 Jul 2025 11:40 am So Pozo and Gorman both have good games yesterday and they get benched for a AAA middle infielder who they are starting in LF and a backup catcher with a .597 OPS?
Yet many still want to defend Oli.........and yes Oli makes out the lineup, not Mo and his gang.![]()
I understand Pages working with Gray. This is probably a pitcher's preference move.
Rain expected? Let's see if (bleep) oli has Gray warm up again before a long delay.

Agree 100% and why play Herrera when he could have another week off?Ronnie Dobbs wrote: ↑13 Jul 2025 11:40 am So Pozo and Gorman both have good games yesterday and they get benched for a AAA middle infielder who they are starting in LF and a backup catcher with a .597 OPS?
Re: GDT : Cards vs. Braves (7/13) ~ 1:15pm CDT
Keep telling yourself that. Very few managers in baseball today have total control over the lineup. It ain’t 1985 anymore.rockondlouie wrote: ↑13 Jul 2025 11:43 amYou can't make this sheet up ronnie.Ronnie Dobbs wrote: ↑13 Jul 2025 11:40 am So Pozo and Gorman both have good games yesterday and they get benched for a AAA middle infielder who they are starting in LF and a backup catcher with a .597 OPS?

One of Nootbaar or Arenado has to be placed on the IL if they are playing Fermin and Saggesse today.

The "cooler" hard at work again today benching Gorman after a good day yesterday.

He told Bernie that on KMOX redbaron, said he sets the lineup and Mo the roster.
Re: GDT : Cards vs. Braves (7/13) ~ 1:15pm CDT
Good to see Winn dropped down after posting a .258 OBP in the last 30 games. And a .311 SLG for a whopping .569 OPS. Just 6 walks in his last 130 PAs. That doesn't play in the 2 hole.
Great in the field, disappointing at the dish.

Which is interesting because his ERA with Pages catching is 3.92 and opponents OPS against .686, whereas with Herrera it’s 3.77 and .623. He’s never had Pozo catch him. He may be better with Pozo than Pages.JuanAgosto wrote: ↑13 Jul 2025 12:05 pmWhy the hell is Gorman not starting? Guy had 2 hits against lefties yesterday.

Thanks to them finally deciding to let him start instead of jerking him between the rotation and bullpen. Took a couple
Of years of stupidity but they finally wised up
Thank C. Bloom
Mo/Oli had him slated for the pen' (again!) until the final week of STing when Bloom stepped in.
(He also was the one who slotted Noot into the leadoff spot after the two morons had him hitting third to start out STing)
Re: GDT : Cards vs. Braves (7/13) ~ 1:15pm CDT
So we're getting the mighty Saggese batting 5th and at 3B instead of Gorman. Wasn't this supposed to be the year they find out about Gorman?

Nearing 12:30 and no rain or even threat out west!
Re: GDT : Cards vs. Braves (7/13) ~ 1:15pm CDT
Thanks, Crav.
Can we eke out a .500 homer against two teams we should beat, but don’t?

Missed you. A shower downtown maybe. Should be good. Scattered small showers to the southwest.
