Things to complain about/

Post by sikeston bulldog2 »

Good morning Vietnam.

Great movie.

What do I wanna bitchhh about. Two things.

One, Walker on a four game hit streak. And gets benched. But comes in as a defensive sub in the seventh- a defensive sub????? He certainly wasn’t benched for rest?

Not only did he not get a hit, he lost three at bats on the bench. I don’t get that strategy- a defensive sub!

Then Gorman at third. This must be a try out, because consistent ain’t it. The boy is horrible at third. It ain’t rust.

That’s it- two complaints from last nights game. Great win with the Donovan hit in the eighth.

Thoughts.

I am really hoping Gormans issues are a fluke. He played the position in the minors didn’t he? I can’t imagine he got so many reps in minors and played this bad. Of course they had Herrera at catcher and he ain’t no catcher.

I’m thinking this is an assessment period of the reset. I think Gorman is on the fence reference a Bloom trade of him. They know what he is at second. He can be shipped as a second baseman. However if he could play third, then we keep him, or sell him as a third baseman with perhaps a higher return.

Does this assessment period end if/when Arenado returns?

See that’s a good question. I don’t know that answer or the intent. Your right. He might be there just till arenado returns.

Vehicles that pass other vehicles on the interstate going precisely 0.5 mph more than the other vehicle.

Nice. New directions. Are you the guy that holds the traffic up in the left lane of interstate, or maybe the zig zag vehicle- in and out- lane to lane.

I used to love hooking up with a group of drivers on the open interstate- say west Texas, bumper to bumper basically, 90 plus. For miles. Felt like nascar.

Not at all. Set my cruise at 80 and hang out in the slow lane till a move is necessary.

Yea. That’s me. I’m a four miles over the speed limit guy now. Set cruise. And cruise.

Thoughts.
Walker:
1. He came in for an injured Nootbar.
2. Look up the term ‘benched.’ Not starting one game isn’t ’benched.’

Gorman:
1. Obviously there is some rust. I hope he starts most of the rest of the season.

You got me on number one of that the case except, not starting a hot player. Still ride the hot horse.

As for number two. No way. He would be the worst third baseman in recent memory.

All season we’ve been watching Cardinal players take a third strike. Drives me goofy. Even high school coaches tell you to choke up and guard the plate with 2 strikes. Last night, Saggese did exactly that when he almost threw his bat at a two strike pitch and hit a bloop single to center. That’s what set up Donavan’s game winning at bat.

That is correct. He did exactly that. And had three hits.

Relax. They put out a LH lineup. It's not like Walker moves the needle. One game

He's not returning. They will work his shoulder for the rest of the season
