Gorman has some physical tools but I question whether he has it between the ears?
He’s on the clock.
Wetherholt is looming in 2026 and we have Donovan.

I’m not trying to defend Gorman BUT we have watched a premier defensive 3B the last several years. We tend to think that every player can make the plays that we have seen made at the hot corner. I remember when Ozzie retired. It was hard watching other SS not make plays that we had seen made for years.

Gorman sucks at baseball. But so does this new clown pitcher. And every one else on this roster. Mo is a loser.

New clown?
McGreevy showed a lot of poised tonight. Got down early, but settled in a COMPETED and gave his tram.a chance to win. That's EXACTLY what I want my pitcher to do.

Yes, the last 5 years for Cardinal fans we watched a 10 time Gold Glove at 3rd.
We won’t see that again.
Same as when Yadi was behind the plate.
And some fans here just couldn't wait for both of them to be gone. Be very careful what you wish for.
Just because Gorman sucks more doesn’t mean people should wish for arenado who sucks slightly less. either way you have a player who sucks at third
They've wanted to trade Nado all year to "make room", not so we can get Eugenio Suarez in here...

its the wrong motivation and the wrong outcome. Also Nado doesn't suck at defense.
Yea but a good defensive third baseman who sucks with the bat is not the guy you want on a team like this. They should trade nado he is not going to lead the cardinals to the promise land he would be good on a team that has a good lineup where he can solidify the defense for the cardinals he is just an anchor that drags them down.
He doesn't drag the team down. That's just a false narrative that posters tell themselves. He simply doesn't do enough to push the team forward. But neither does anyone else. Get someone who is better than Nado in all ways first - then think about trading him.
lol it’s funny if you really believe he’s an asset to the team Even idiot mo knows he’s not that’s why he’s been desperate to trade him
No, Mo wants to trade him to SHED PAYROLL. That's it.

I wish Gorman would be able to settle in at 3b and be a productive moto bat. But I just don't see that happening.

Not to mention the one play he couldn’t make that was ruled an infield hit. Even the announcers mentioned his” rough time continuing.”

Why did I even try to get people to think before they post negative comments?

Nado is being paid millions more than Gorman. He should have them “easily”. Let’s let Gorman adjust to third again. Then judge.

Opti-This forum is uncensored for baseball content. People can say whatever they want. Language is automatically censored. They will shut down threads that go off topic. You seem genuine. But when you click on a thread titled "Gorman sucks", you have to know it's going to be negative. I understand your point, and personally I avoid those discussions and aggressive posters. You should try avoiding them as well if it bothers you. You aren't going to change it.

Nado drags the team down in that they work on a limited payroll and arenado takes up a huge chunk to be a net negatove player. And we cant sign another 3b because we are stuck with nados contract that we cant just drop on a dime.

And no. Get rid of him while you can replace later. If we got rid ofnhim 2 years ago(granted he had ntc) we would have not only be rid of the contravt but got something in return.

Now no one will take his contract.

And thisbis supposed to be a give youngsters runway season. Nado isnt the future and just blocos playing and evaluation time. Donovan can play 3b. Wetherholts is about to come up and play 2b pushing donny anyway.
Saggese could to be given a chance to see if he can develop if we didnt have nado hogging time.



I cant for the life of me understand people trying to justify bad contracts as not a hinderance. If the youngsters suck, oh well, they can bring someone in to replace them more easily. Nado just blocks people because they feel they have to try to play him based on contract. If his name wasnt nolan arenado and he wasnt be paid that contract, hed be released to gove younger players a chance even if they did slighrly.worse. cuz he isnt the future

Let Gorman play the rest of the season there and let's see.

He's not going to be Arenado or Oberkfell for that matter but a number of games is needed to get a more valid evaluation.

Frankly his fielding is going to come second to what he can do offensively.

If he doesn't hit it won't matter.
