GDT : Cards vs. Brewers (9/19) ~ 7:15pm CDT

[82birds]

this ump has a big strike zone
two strikes on Frelick were balls.

[Lightning Rod]

When will Scott learn that hitting the ball in the air is not going to work for him. If he doesn't K he hits the ball in the air. No bueno, that's why he's hitting .214 and falling. Needs to work all off season on changing his appraoch, if he doesn't, cut him loose.

Chances to add runs but base running blunders kill the innings. Bad decisions, base coaches, etc. It's hard to win games against great teams when you do not play fundamentally sound baseball. Pitching is decent enough so far but 2 runs will not be enough..

At what point do you look at the coaching or are all these guys just stupid?
Maybe a combination of both???

To me, its coaching more than anything. Players can "brain fart". Every player is susceptible to a bad decision but this team does it nightly. It's ill preparation and bad coaching IMO.

[82birds]

5 excellent innings for Sonny Gray.
can they get him some runs?

[cardstatman]

Need more runs, boys!

[Ozziesfan41]

Keep hitting Donovan get that trade value up

[butsir01]

This team couldn’t get runs in cheap nylons.

Teams tend to mimic their leadership when it comes to judgement and fundamentals.
I can excuse the Manager to an extent as that he has a lot to analyze on the run.
But a base coach????
His SOLE purpose is to direct the baserunner by using JUDGEMENT.
If this team is a collective train wreck on the bases nightly what does that say about their JUDGEMENT?????

[scoutyjones2]

Can we see a Grand Salami this year?

[Lightning Rod]

Another single and we get a run.

[82birds]

bases loaded no outs
surely we score here, right?

Gorman, Walker, Noot, and Scott all need to study Donovan’s approach.
