Great win but Gorman seems hopeless
Either he’s uncoachable or inept. He swings and misses more than a windmill. Someone needs to get his attention. He doesn’t belong in the middle of the order. I’m tired of him jerking his head around with every swing and fixated for no reason on pulling the ball. Maybe he’s just stupid.

Re: Great win but Gorman seems hopeless
He sucks for sure he has rbis but not because he is good with runners in scoring position but because of the sheer volume of runners on base for him. Cards need to find a better hitter for 5th. I would rather Winn hit 5th he’s awful he should hit no higher than 7th until they can find a good third baseman

in the 9th he was sitting off speed after getting cooked for 3 Ks did a good job not chasing and working the walk. Still with better pitch selection (fastball on the top outside corner on the 3 and 2 pitch) he gets rung up for #4.

Gorman walked in the 9th. I sure wish that Winn would have bunted Walker and Gorman over to give Church a chance to produce with less than 2 outs.

It's pretty telling when as a viewer, you're hoping your team's power-hitting 3B can draw a walk late in the game and would rather he stood there with the bat on his shoulder than swing. Imagine what the offense would look like with Donovan playing 3B instead of Gorman.

Re: Great win but Gorman seems hopeless
The team needs to understand their self imposed situation first off. No matter what they are not going to be buyers at the deadline of a temporary fill in. With that said they need to be identifying one or two of the hitters in AAA and turning them quickly into 3rd basemen. Crooks or Jordan seem most likely with the advanced bats. While they are working on not striking out they can be learning 3rd base. They obviously love the idea of Herrera as a catcher and crooks has too much bat to just trade away. Gorman is not the answer past 2027 and they need to use these guys and not let them waste away in AAA.

I liked BD but the trade was a really good one. Glad it happened.zoiks wrote: ↑08 May 2026 01:28 am It's pretty telling when as a viewer, you're hoping your team's power-hitting 3B can draw a walk late in the game and would rather he stood there with the bat on his shoulder than swing.

Re: Great win but Gorman seems hopeless
That's not real Christian of you there " Galatians" calling a guy inept and stupid because he had a bad baseball game. Just a little pointer. You make yourself look completely un-knowledgeable about the sport when you are triggered by a bad game and start nasty threads and act like a child about the man's poor performance.Galatians221jb1 wrote: ↑07 May 2026 23:59 pm Either he’s uncoachable or inept.
