Gorman meter: 25+ HR, 80+ RBI, and 80 runs scored

"I have also predicted 25+ HR, 80+ RBI, and 80 runs scored per every 600 PA's if they would simply allow him regular playing time."

No More Excuses.
He's been given the starting 3b job. If he doesn't have 600 PAs, it's HIS fault.

Game 1 - 1/4 - 2 RBI, 1 Run

Good start. I'm hoping that he exceeds those numbers.

Wasting your time. For one, I kind of think Mel is right on this one. Even if he isn’t - receipts and facts have never worked on Mel before. They won’t this time either. It only helps solidify his gimmick.

They have tried giving it him he ends up on the IL with a bad back and it bothers him and he sucks so bad for so long he becomes unplayable

I respect the opinion of only 2 or 3 people on this board. Mel is one. I have my doubts about Gorman but if I had to bet I would bet on Mel.

Appreciate you kind and gracious words sir.
But it is never about me.
I find it somewhat odd when someone attempts to make a thread focused on me, whereas I am only and always about the game.
Never for, never against, any player.
Here is the bias free, agenda free, reality.
In 1585 career PA's, Gorman has produced 74 HR, 209 RBI, and 193 runs scored.
That equates to 28 HR, 79 RBI, and 73 runs scored per every 600 PA's over the course of his career right now.
And that solid, consistent production has been produced despite incompetent leadership on the part of the Cardinal staff which has undermined him over the past 2 seasons with irregular playing time and with constantly changing assignments over the entire 4 years of his time in STL.
In other words, my analysis is simply a fact-based assessment of who he already has been - and currently is.
Bottom line.
Unless The Marmot is once again allowed to be a complete idiot in his handling of player assignments, there is a 100% certainty that Gorman will produce at the rate the data has established.
And, very likely, even higher.

Mel tells you he’s right, so he’s right.

Your act was entertaining for a while. You need to change it up a bit.
It’s always about you. Every time you start out that you were the first and only, it’s always about you.
Carry on though, at least you’re not a jerk.

He’s like oneil he may every few years he may stay healthy enough to hit 25 homeruns and drive in 70 with low average and on bade but he will never be consistent year in and year out he will be awful one or two years then decent then awful

There are actually 4 players on this roster who should exceed the top HR total on the 2025 team with this condition of health.
Let's see if anyone does that.

You can’t know that for sure. But even so, I would rather have them hit in his good years and not playing on as bad. What difference does it make to me?

Worth noting I did not create this thread.
And in responding, I have cited only facts.
Your post above attempts to make this about me.
It isn't.
Never is.
I do agree, however, that I am not a jerk.
Neither are you, which is appreciated.
Now, let's see if we can all stick to the OP's topic.

I have been saying for a long time that the Cardinals as a team will hit 160+ HR in 2026.
There is a 100% probability of that happening - unless The Marmot continues his past incompetence in assigning playing time.
Him getting in the way is the only obstacle.
