May 8, 2021 at 8:14 pm #160578I had previously wondered if Gorman was one of those LH pull hitters that would be vulnerable to the shift when he gets to MLB. Glad to see that opo homer.
May 8, 2021 at 9:03 pm #160582bccranParticipantPitching up and down the system has been scary so far.

Yep. The Cards have not drafted much pitching for some time and it’s now catching up to them. Hence the dire need to make the Liberatore trade.
May 8, 2021 at 9:13 pm #160585So has the hitting with only a few exceptions. I’m glad it’s very early.
May 9, 2021 at 6:03 am #160596May 9, 2021 at 6:57 am #160599I’m worried about the lack of quality pitching in the minor league depths. This first week has been brutal.
May 9, 2021 at 7:23 am #160600bccranParticipantI liked the trades, but we’re going to miss guys like Gallen, Alcantara, Gomber,
Marco, Locey, etc.May 9, 2021 at 8:17 am #160601How much did last year’s layoff or reduced schedule affect hitting and pitching here in the early going? I guess we would have to compare results of our guys against the other organizations. They had a layoff too.
May 9, 2021 at 8:56 am #160603To your point blingboy, the Cards were one of two organizations that didn’t participate in fall league. I was wondering earlier if that might be a bit of a factor.
May 9, 2021 at 10:32 am #160607It’s early, but I don’t think Memphis is going to be very good this year. I’m looking to see how they do next against a cooler, non Durham team. The baseball must look like a watermelon to that team. Surely their pitching will get better.
May 9, 2021 at 11:03 am #16060914NyquisTParticipantAny additional postponements are welcomed about now.
May 9, 2021 at 11:09 am #160610Durham is a very good team. Besides that, I’m not sure how good any of the teams our affiliates have played are. Still, having to find a way to avoid a 6 game sweep at home is a shameful start. I do think the lack of camp played a role.
May 9, 2021 at 11:35 am #160613I do think the lack of camp played a role.
Are you saying Memphis did not have a camp and Durham did?
May 9, 2021 at 11:43 am #160615Are you saying Memphis did not have a camp and Durham did?
No, last fall’s camp. The Cards and Yankees were the only two teams to skip theirs. The Yankees teams seem to be doing fine, so maybe it’s just lack of talent but who knows.
