This is a perfect, well said, insightful statement. I think you nailed it. They have a shot at playoffs so the plan has changed. But this change has really only impacted Gorman and Walker and let’s be honest, we have seen enough.

Thank you for the kind words but I actually believe it is generally unwise for humans to behave like a distractible dog.

That’s your opinion, but you don’t know that.

You got to give it to the complainers. They are consistent. They gripe when we lose and complain about how Walker and Gorman should be in the minors then gripe when we win saying they should play more despite their mediocre results.

Strange to see a complainer complaining about other complainers.

Complaining about walker and gorman not getting playing time? Valid.

Scott being pinch hit for? Hes started 45 out of 50 games. Seems ridiculous to complain hes hasnt had playing time cuz he was pinch hit for

It doesn't seem like Burleson's .291 batting average should be lumped in with Walker's .194 and Gorman's .177.
Burleson has less RBI than Walker.
Burleson led the team in RBIs last season. Did you tout RBIs then? For some reason, many here just poo pooed Burleson's RBI production then.
Because it was a [shirt]ty RBI total to lead the team with, it said a lot more about how bad the team was than it did about Burly… and he still isn’t any good at driving in runs. The fact that Walker has more RBI than him says a lot when his OPS is like 200 points lower.

Exactly. Burleson is Aaron Miles with a little more pop but worse defense to make up the difference. He has no business playing in the outfield either. Don’t care what Marmol thinks about him either, Shady-Guy. There have been many things obvious to the casual fan that hasn’t been to Marmol. Puppets don’t think for themselves.

Correct just like every statement on CT, it’s opinion.

Walker and Gorman are having horrendous seasons. They haven’t been sent down. They are playing more than they deserve.

Corny, do you forget who makes out the lineup? It's not you or me. Guess who it is.

Platooning counts as playing

Being pinch hit for isn’t forever.

And, apparently the OP doesn't consider the fact that only 9 guys can play at a time. This isn't the city softball league.

These two posts are spot on. The cardinals showing, once again, how undisciplined they are as an organization.
