GDT : Athletics @ Cardinals (9/1) ~ 1:15pm CDT

Another guy that can't get anyone out...Fernandez and we keep trotting him out there. Where do they find these guys?

Mo's " low hanging fruit" approach to roster building...

[Rosie's Rule]

Saggese is proving he is a utility player - good player for a couple of starts and a pinch hit here and there but he is not an everyday player.

[Absolut]

Walker looks like he lacks intensity and focus at the plate- just don’t understand how he can keep fishing for the same slider/sweeper out of the strike zone time after time.

He makes silent George look like a plate crowder. Could he hit Fernandez….

[Cusecards]

A stinker from Gray to open the series against a beatable team hurts.
But let’s face it....our lineup from the #4 slot down is brutal.
For 2026 add in:
Donovan
Burleson
Arenado
JJ
And hopefully Crooks and/or Bernal and you become respectable.

Sadly, Bernal is hitting .210 .293 .287 .580 against AA pitching for the past 2.5 months (225 PA).

True but he figured to start 2026 in the minors anyway.
Hopefully it’s Crooks with Pages or Pozo as backup.

[Ordinary Man]

Roycroft back just in time.

Agree on the utility role.
He reminds me of a hockey goalie playing the infield!

I'd like to see Crooks/Pages with a 50/50 split. Pozo's bat has cooled and Pages has heated up.

[Ordinary Man]

Roycroft in game form.

[WLTFE]

Looks like quite a few of THE BFIB are bailing.

[12xu]

Roycroft back just in time.

Yes he is just stupefying.

[stlboiler23]

How bad is attendance?

[sdaltons]

This team has to have quit. Either way this is downright pathetic.

[Bully4you]

Good ole fashioned (donkey) whooping.

[craviduce]

oh saggese.

If Saggese has no glove, he has no value.

he's far from the "Fine defense" that one guy says

[craviduce]

Atlanta and SF are winning right now....good for the Tank

[Alex Reyes Cy Young]

This team has to have quit. Either way this is downright pathetic.

I think so
