GDT: Cards @ Pirates (4/9) ~ 11:35am CDT

[BrummerStealsHome]

Until Roycroft, it has been a very well pitched game on both sides. I take it some of you don't like pitchers' duels.

I love a good pitcher's duel. But I hate boneheaded managing.

Roycroft continues his lack of pitching skills. Walks Canario to get to Reynolds their best LH hitter, and walks him too. Cutch fails but Bart succeeds to end this mess. Unhappy flight kids.....

Roycroft has to be sent to Memphis at this point......doesn't he???

...and have Pop Warner accompany him also.

Yes, at what point do they jettison Roycroft? Pathetic... figure it out in Memphis, not in the big leagues.

It wasn't Roycroft's fault that Pop Warner sent home Siani. It wasn't Roycroft's fault that Arenado took an out at 3rd base. It should have never come down to Roycroft trying to extend the game.

aye yi yi

total exasperation

[sdaltons]

Great, we can call up one of the guys who couldn't beat any of this sorry bunch out for a roster spot just 2 weeks ago.

[Eyelids64]

Charter a van and send Roycroft, Winn, WillyCon, Baker, Fernandez, Pop to Memphis

[MIDMOBIRDTWO]

Cardinals showed minimal baseball skills today, and even less will to win.

especially Contreras IMO

he had SEVERAL chances to do damage

He is a problem. Maybe MO promised him he could hit second no matter what. He is a cancer at this point.

Oli gushes over Roycroft

That says a lot

Did I blame Roycroft for any of that stuff? NO, but is Roycroft a Major League pitcher? Hail NO!!

Cards now 3 games behind the Cubs.

Your plan is good. But you forgot Marmol needs to go as well. He would screw up being a hot dog vendor.

Marmol does not need to go to Memphis, he should go to Florida.

[Handsomebachelor]

Lol I turned it off last time cardinals were up I knea they weren't winning at that point. Just checked and sure enough

[Viking29]

Send this roycroft somewhere-he is bought off or just plain stinks

My bad, that is the lowest farm team we have now isn't it. Maybe he could help the Gulf Coast Cardinals later.

[Strummer Jones]

I'll say this. I've seen enough of Roycroft. How many blown games already have seen him at the center of it? It's early, so I understand it happening once. Maybe twice. But this seems more like a pattern than anything else. Let's see what someone else can do.

[Cusecards]

Roycroft flat out stinks.
But he is far from the biggest problem(s) for this team.
I love Cardinal baseball but watching this manager and 3B coach makes me not want to watch.
Actually glad they’re not playing tomorrow.
