Remember when Walker was like randomly 6-14 for 3 games and he was “BACK!”?

Ya me either

[RunSup]

Cease got a pitch Burly can't hit, a thrown ball from the mound.

But he's bad to mediocre against everybody else.

Baseball is a funny game.

not today he's not

[StlMike1969]

The sheer amount of shutout and low hit games this year from this offense is just unacceptable. There needs to be a wholesale turnover of the coaching staff in addition to roster overhaul this fall. Day one after the world Series Oli and his whole gang need removed. If some of them want to interview with the new staff for a position then they can go that route but I am the point the whole staff needs turned over. I know they are not the ones hitting the ball, Those guys are going to get theirs also but there has to be some coaching and accountability at play here.

"Back" implies you were actually good at some point. He was pretty good his rookie season but he's been sh*t since then. Admittedly, though, he's had a couple decent little stretches. I'm pulling for him and Gorman since there's nothing much else to get excited about this season.

Herrera looks pretty decent in left. And there goes Pallante doing this thing.

[RunSup]

Sigh. Remember the good old days of Arenado bare handing the grounder and firing to first.

[11WSChamps]

Walker and Gorman's production being what it is at this point in their careers is nowhere near what was thought of by the organization 2 years ago.

That reason alone is a major factor in this team's decline.

[moose-and-squirrel]

well, that was unfortunate

[imetsatchelpaige]

It’s an absolute miracle it’s 0-0

Your miracle is over

[moose-and-squirrel]

[RunSup]

Pallante's escape room magic act make it 1 more inning?

No, no, no... didn't you hear? There's no way Oli can be blamed for the 3rd year in a row of a team looking great half the season and falling apart the 2nd half. That's ALL on the players. Oli's a magician when it comes to managing. You just can't see it--so I've been told.

It's garbage in = garbage out. But never hold Oli accountable for inconsistencies. I mean, it's not him out there batting or pitching. These guys are old enough to drink, they should be old enough to figure out how to play 162 games in a 6 month stretch and perform at a high level the entire time.

Besides, Oli's never managed an MLB team before this and he never played for one either. So don't go blaming him for this mess.
