Things to complain about/
Good morning Vietnam.
Great movie.
What do I wanna bitchhh about. Two things.
One, Walker on a four game hit streak. And gets benched. But comes in as a defensive sub in the seventh- a defensive sub????? He certainly wasn’t benched for rest?
Not only did he not get a hit, he lost three at bats on the bench. I don’t get that strategy- a defensive sub!
Then Gorman at third. This must be a try out, because consistent ain’t it. The boy is horrible at third. It ain’t rust.
That’s it- two complaints from last nights game. Great win with the Donovan hit in the eighth.
Thoughts.

Re: Things to complain about/
I am really hoping Gormans issues are a fluke. He played the position in the minors didn’t he? I can’t imagine he got so many reps in minors and played this bad. Of course they had Herrera at catcher and he ain’t no catcher.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑12 Aug 2025 05:44 am Good morning Vietnam.

Re: Things to complain about/
I’m thinking this is an assessment period of the reset. I think Gorman is on the fence reference a Bloom trade of him. They know what he is at second. He can be shipped as a second baseman. However if he could play third, then we keep him, or sell him as a third baseman with perhaps a higher return.Jatalk wrote: ↑12 Aug 2025 06:09 amI am really hoping Gormans issues are a fluke.

Re: Things to complain about/
Does this assessment period end if/when Arenado returns?

Re: Things to complain about/
See that’s a good question. I don’t know that answer or the intent. Your right. He might be there just till arenado returns.

Vehicles that pass other vehicles on the interstate going precisely 0.5 mph more than the other vehicle.

Nice. New directions. Are you the guy that holds the traffic up in the left lane of interstate, or maybe the zig zag vehicle- in and out- lane to lane.hornetfb52 wrote: ↑12 Aug 2025 06:37 am Vehicles that pass other vehicles on the interstate going precisely 0.5 mph more than the other vehicle.
I used to love hooking up with a group of drivers on the open interstate- say west Texas, bumper to bumper basically, 90 plus. For miles. Felt like nascar.

Not at all. Set my cruise at 80 and hang out in the slow lane till a move is necessary.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑12 Aug 2025 06:44 amNice. New directions.

Yea. That’s me. I’m a four miles over the speed limit guy now. Set cruise. And cruise.hornetfb52 wrote: ↑12 Aug 2025 07:05 amNot at all.

Thoughts.
1. He came in for an injured Nootbar.
2. Look up the term ‘benched.’ Not starting one game isn’t ’benched.’
Gorman:
1. Obviously there is some rust. I hope he starts most of the rest of the season.

You got me on number one of that the case except, not starting a hot player. Still ride the hot horse.ecleme22 wrote: ↑12 Aug 2025 07:11 amWalker:sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑12 Aug 2025 05:44 am Good morning Vietnam.

As for number two. No way. He would be the worst third baseman in recent memory.
Re: Things to complain about/
All season we’ve been watching Cardinal players take a third strike. Drives me goofy. Even high school coaches tell you to choke up and guard the plate with 2 strikes. Last night, Saggese did exactly that when he almost threw his bat at a two strike pitch and hit a bloop single to center. That’s what set up Donavan’s game winning at bat.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑12 Aug 2025 05:44 am Good morning Vietnam.

He's not returning. They will work his shoulder for the rest of the season
