GDT : Cards vs. Cubs (6/26) ~ 1:15pm CDT

[scoutyjones2]

A Chicago radio guy reported Nootbar has had some neck spasms that were most likely heat related and they did not expect to see him much the rest of the series. He was having trouble with those spasms the other night, when he went to first they had to treat him.

Nah, take the simpleton way out and just blame that piece of [shirt] manager...why think the team knows it's players and their injuries while couch jockey's know it's the managers fault

Well I said it was weird and I was clearly proven right that something was up. But yeah we're all simpletons and it's definitely not just you who is a giant (donkey)(pit).

Sure you did...you instantly went to bagging on the manager I bolded it from your post:
"I guess I gave Oli too much credit yesterday when I assumed he was going to alternate Gorman/Noot yesterday and today. At least Gorman put up 3 good ABs against a tough lefty... but yeah downright weird to have Noot sit twice in a row and sitting either Burly or Gorman today makes way more sense."

You certainly do ASSume

Nootbaar sitting 2 days in a row? Figures just as he was starting to pick it up…

In 2025
Noot vs LHP: .653 OPS
Gorman vs LHP: .519 OPS
Saggese vs LHP: .625 OPS
Donovan vs LHP: .649 OPS

Burleson has done better lately vs LHP but also holds a career .574 OPS vs LHP and unsurprisingly went 0 for 4 yesterday with a LHP on the mound.

THx duce

And ditto

WTF

You'd rather play some guy you picked up off the WW instead of Noot in the (faux) runway season?

Under Mo/Oli this team makes some of the stupidest moves we've ever seen.

The team has won despite those two idiots. They piled up runs the first two games and predictably, Mo & Lil oli change the lineup. Total dumb[ash].

When will the Garrett Hampson era end? None too soon.

Oli has his new toy, a guy who shouldn't even be on this roster.

Poor Juan. Thinking he is make a difference.

[Basil Shabazz]

This lineup misses Ivan Herrera, especially against LHP.

I have to believe that the motivation is to get Saggese AB's while up and against LHP.
Doing that and keeping Donovan and Burleson in the lineup tightens the options. All of them being
LH doesn't help the situation. Thank God they found a RH Siani to platoon VS or where would they be?

[3dender]

Announced that Noot received an "intercostal injection" that required 48 hours of inactivity... so he'll be back tomorrow apparently.

[hmoss859]

Ivan Herrera get back soon.

This team is light on RH bats, period.

Looks like he's moving pretty well already judging by the videos he's posting:

Hopefully he'll be closer to the 2 weeks than the 6 weeks estimated time out.

Not only is your reply lame, but it doesn't even make sense. Come back with something of substance.

Imagine what a competent POBO and Manager could do, at least we know we get one at seasons end and Oli better be sent packing as well.

[redacted] Oli getting treatment for Noot!

I swear he does this on porpoise

I doubt CT understands what these are used for

[Lightning Rod]

Seems every team we play has at least two lefty's starting against us and use every lefthander from the bullpen. I suppose when your two best hitters are left handed and you continue to p!ay Noot, Gorman and Scott you're setting yourself up to see lots of lefty's. We do.miss Herrera and are desperate to find a right handed bat in the outfield, thus you see us rolling the dice on guys like Hampson. It's amazing we have no one in the organization to fill that void.

Go 43-38?


I'm sure you had the Cards running at a 543 win pct

Thx for sharing

Lineup made no sense w/o knowing this.
