is the cupboard that bare? Gastelum is awful

[brucesutterHOF]

Where did they find this dude?

He couldn’t make los Naranjeros de Hermosillo.

C’mon man

Part of all that depth fanboys were talking about prior to the season.

[PanamaCardFan]

His 1.625 WHIP is better than Svanson's!

[Absolut]

Got the win!

[Cardinals1964]

Pretty small sample size, but not a confidence inspiring start.

1964, I know we have argued a lot over the last couple weeks. But we agree that Gastelum is shaky at best. This team needs bullpen additions in a bad way.

...Yeah...I think he's pitched 8 innings this season, and given up 4 HR's. He's lucky though, has a 2-1 record...

That nothing to brag about. He gives up too many home runs. Most of his runs he gives up are home runs

Yikes! Didn't realize it was that shaky.

[Cusecards]

Hey maybe Gastelum or some of the others can pull a Svanson Reverse in 2027????
As you recall Svanson was GREAT last season and turned awful this season.

[spfldan]

His good change up is a nasty one, but he needs to perfect it. If he does that, and learns when to throw it, I think he could be closer material some day. Obviously not this year.

Relies way too much on change, MLB have scouts

Need to utilize fastball and sweeper more

Poor game preparation by Dusty Goober Blake for Gasty

Pitch sequencing is everything with this dude

This coaching staff leaves a lot to be desired. I think Blake is OK though. He's taken marginal talent (at best) and somehow they are in contention for a WC. And the starters are relatively healthy.

Agree, there's potential there.

+1

The guy throws nothing but gopher balls

What a disappointment he's been

J. Walker should use him in next years HR Derby

[scoutyjones2]

(bleep) rookie taking a few random innings to get accustomed to pitching on the big stage!


The horror that he isn't Aroldis Chapman from the start!
