Austin Gomber
Been thinking about Gomber today as he pitches for the Rocks tonight against the Cardinals. I remember liking him quite a bit coming out of Memphis. Showed a lot of promise coming up in 2018. Anyone else remember the game at Cincy where he carried a no-hitter into the seventh when suddenly the fire alarms went off throughout Great American Ballpark. After they cleared the false alarm, Gomber lost his no-hitter and the lead, though the Carinals won in extras. A lot of folks believed the alarms were set off on purpose.
Anway, Gomber had a lost, injur plagued 2019 but still looked promising when he was the key piece of the Arenado trade. Funny, but he's the only one from the Cardinals side that is still playing. The others, Mateo Gil plays in the Mexican Leauge, Toney Locey is out of baseball, Elehuris Montero plays in Japan, and Jake Sommers has officially retired. Great trade for the Cardinals.

Re: Austin Gomber
Side Note: Montero made a bit of news last week with his 'reported' 594 ft HR off or Trevor Bauer. It was a bomb for sure.BrummerStealsHome wrote: ↑21 Jul 2025 12:31 pm Been thinking about Gomber today as he pitches for the Rocks tonight against the Cardinals.

Re: Austin Gomber
When you think about it, shouldn't they set off the fire alarms when Mikolas is pitching?

Re: Austin Gomber
It gave us a MVP caliber bat and GG for multiple years. The fact we couldn't turn that into Playoff wins is on Mo and Oli. Nado was not the mistake and Gomber certainly wouldn't have gotten us as close as we were to being good.Adam2 wrote: ↑21 Jul 2025 13:03 pmDidn't end up netting us much, now its a dead weight deal.

Re: Austin Gomber
It would have helped if Nado went better than 1 for 12 in the postseason though…So he is in fact partially responsible for not winning playoff games. Especially when we were tied or leading heading into the 9th in 2 of the 3 games.Carp4Cy wrote: ↑21 Jul 2025 14:41 pmIt gave us a MVP caliber bat and GG for multiple years.

Re: Austin Gomber
He is LH and throws a lot of slow junk. He will probably toss 5 innings of shutout ball tonight vs the Redbirds.

Re: Austin Gomber
Now you did it. Helsley's trade value just took a hit as memories of 2022 were stirred again.
