Showed a lot of promise coming up in 2018. Anyone else remember the game at Cincy where he carried a no-hitter into the seventh when suddenly the fire alarms went off throughout Great American Ballpark. After they cleared the false alarm, Gomber lost his no-hitter and the lead, though the Carinals won in extras. A lot of folks believed the alarms were set off on purpose.

Anway, Gomber had a lost, injur plagued 2019 but still looked promising when he was the key piece of the Arenado trade. Funny, but he's the only one from the Cardinals side that is still playing. The others, Mateo Gil plays in the Mexican Leauge, Toney Locey is out of baseball, Elehuris Montero plays in Japan, and Jake Sommers has officially retired. Great trade for the Cardinals.

Hold on. I thought the Cardinals didn't make any good/great trades.

Didn't it end up netting the Cardinals a guy who came in 3rd in the MLP voting?

As far as winning anything of substance

It gave us a MVP caliber bat and GG for multiple years. The fact we couldn't turn that into Playoff wins is on Mo and Oli. Nado was not the mistake and Gomber certainly wouldn't have gotten us as close as we were to being good.

Futuregm2 wrote: ↑21 Jul 2025 15:16 pm It would have helped if Nado went better than 1 for 12 in the postseason though…So he is in fact partially responsible for not winning playoff games. Especially when we were tied or leading heading into the 9th in 2 of the 3 games.
