GDT: Cards vs. Astros (4/16) ~ 12:15pm CDT

[renostl]

Contreras back in the 2 hole and Burleson (86 OPS+) for Gorman (189 OPS+) again and batting 5th.

I thought Mo's plan was to get Gorman 600 PAs this year. Maybe he needs to have a talk with Oli. Oli must get a charge out of seeing Burleson slap the occasional single.

Whats really weird is he played gorman coupke games agi vs a lefty keeping saggese on the bench but now benches gorman for sahgese vs the righty. Quite frankly, both should get bats over burly. Its time to move on from him.

If I were Bloom I'd want to see as much of Gorman as I could so I know what I have going forward. But with this goofy two boss arrangement he may not have much of a voice in this year's team. Burleson is a known quantity with a low ceiling. Maybe a bench bat for a contender or DH for the Rockies or White Sox.

BINGO MG

At least (per Bernie) Bloom stepped up and inserted LIbby into the starting rotation at the end of camp when it appeared Mo/Oli were happy to leave him in the pen'.

Oli wants to win now to save his job, if that's even possible. I think Mo is caught between wanting to position the team for the future and going out on a high note. Bloom is concerned with '26 and beyond. Conflicting objectives.

I think that you are correct.
It doesn't have to be the correct choice to be what is occurring.

I think Now and Tomorrow can coexist.

IF there is anything good here, IF there is even the hint of a LHP, Burley gets pulled now vs prior times.

Burley is a player whose profile doesn't play going forward with modest improvement on his part.
IF his career OPS+ of 95 improved to 105 he still is a bench player at best IMO.

Of the most likely moves when both Herrera and Winn return who goes?

Pozo
Saggese
Baker
Burleson
Siani

or is he hopeful that an injury makes this incredibly difficult decision for him (MO)?

Just came to me. Saggese to me sounds like Geese. So one Geese is a Goose.

Sagoose.

This will be a forgettable day, one like many before it.

only 1 run scored in the 1st inning.

Yup. Not crying like the others saying game over already like they haven't seen what this offense is capable of this year

Tough road trip ahead.
