I thought we were supposed to find out about the kids this year ?
Is platooning Walker helping with that ? PH for Scott today ? Gorman never playing? It’s just lie after lie

Scott II has a .491 OPS vs. lefties with 17 Ks in 45 ABs.
Pozo was 5-8, 1K vs. lefties.
Right call. Didn't work out. It happens sometimes in baseball. A fact you should know by now.

They got distracted by accidentally being good for a month, like dog with squirrel.

Here's all you need to know: Walker, Burleson, Gorman in the same lineup (and it doesn't help to have a slumping Arenado as the only hitter in between that sequence) = guaranteed loss

As it turns out, Walker and Gorman suck

Yep, got to figure out what to do with at least one, maybe both. You can't continue to put guys in the lineup hitting sub .200.

It doesn't seem like Burleson's .291 batting average should be lumped in with Walker's .194 and Gorman's .177.blackinkbiz wrote: ↑21 May 2025 14:50 pm Here's all you need to know: Walker, Burleson, Gorman in the same lineup (and it doesn't help to have a slumping Arenado as the only hitter in between that sequence) = guaranteed loss

Burleson has less RBI than Walker.Shady wrote: ↑21 May 2025 15:11 pmIt doesn't seem like Burleson's .291 batting average should be lumped in with Walker's .194 and Gorman's .177.blackinkbiz wrote: ↑21 May 2025 14:50 pm Here's all you need to know: Walker, Burleson, Gorman in the same lineup (and it doesn't help to have a slumping Arenado as the only hitter in between that sequence) = guaranteed loss

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.Futuregm2 wrote: ↑21 May 2025 15:13 pmBurleson has less RBI than Walker.Shady wrote: ↑21 May 2025 15:11 pmIt doesn't seem like Burleson's .291 batting average should be lumped in with Walker's .194 and Gorman's .177.blackinkbiz wrote: ↑21 May 2025 14:50 pm Here's all you need to know: Walker, Burleson, Gorman in the same lineup (and it doesn't help to have a slumping Arenado as the only hitter in between that sequence) = guaranteed loss

He does start a lot of 'bazar ' threads!
Re: I thought we were supposed to find out about the kids this year ?
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.Shady wrote: ↑21 May 2025 15:20 pmBurleson led the team in RBIs last season. Did you tout RBIs then?

You need to try to track Marmol down and plead your case about how bad Burleson is a hitter. And see/hear his reaction to your nonsense.Futuregm2 wrote: ↑21 May 2025 15:32 pmBecause 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.

Re: I thought we were supposed to find out about the kids this year ?
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.
