This team is slow. In the legs and in the head.TXCardsFanX wrote: ↑21 Sep 2025 06:56 am Is this another "fire Marmol" thread? If so, it's the most convincing one. We make far too many mistakes, don't score runs we should score, and don't steal hardly any bags. The team in not slow, so this could likely be fixed with better leadership, IMO.
When fundamentals don’t coincide with what the IPad tells you to do your team typically doesn’t execute them well.Clubmaker2 wrote: ↑21 Sep 2025 12:44 pm Being slow and getting caught stealing are not necessarily the same thing. Folks remember Walker is faster than both Winn and Noot yet..... It is sad a player like Winn cant learn how to take leads and read the pitchers moves to get a decent jump stealing bases. Why has this not changed? If you have speed but can't use it in the game, doesnt that make you kind of not good at base ball or not good at the fundamentals.

But fundamentals are a major weakness now. And it bit them again tonight with Nootbaar's bonehead base running in the 10th. Herrera likely cost them a game recently with 2 base running gaffes in 1 extra inning.

All this (bleep) about "you can't blame Marmol for the roster..." But if the coaches don't have some responsibility for players being fundamentally unprepared, then what exactly do coaches do for for a living?
