Gorman is definitely struggling. It all comes down to him taking pitches and having quality at bats and the results come. When he is taking pitches, he goes on his hot streaks. When he isn’t, well you get what we see now. The tools are absolutely there though and we get to see flashes of it.
I read he hired a mental coach. I’m not sure that has been worth it based off the results haha.
I honestly am really surprised at Donny’s progression with the OF glove. Previous years I thought he was slightly below average with the glove, but with more time out there now he is looking quite good with the leather.
Maddux, Gibson, Kaat, Palmer, Niekro, Guidry, Greinke…I don’t think it’s coincidence that these guys could field their position.
Gorman is over 1,000 PAs so far. His career line: .221/.304/.442/.746
Kyle Schwarber career line for comparison:.229/.342/.488/.830
Lohse could also lay down a sac-bunt. If he doesn’t get one down during a PH appearance in game 6, the Cardinals probably lose the ’11 WS.
Bling, that is actually a slightly above average career batting line. Here is a quote from The Athletic.
The average hitter now has a Bochy-esque slash line of .241/.311/.390
Bochy was career backup catcher who was not known for his offense. Pitchers have been getting so much better and hitters just haven’t been able to keep up at the same rate.
2 hits tonight and one was Arenado’s pop up to CF that probably gets caught 99% of the time. Siani has 2 hard hit liners and Gorman has the near homer. But that’s been it.
An average bat at 2B isn’t a bad thing, and Gorman has flashes where is is much better than average, albeit with really cold spells as well. You can certainly do much worse than a league average batting line
They should have a review clock. If they can’t decide within a half hour, the call on the field stands…
If MLB wants to speed up the game pace, put a time limit on the review to a minute. Nothing more boring than watching a whole stadium of people waiting on a call from NY.
This is the other annoying thing watching a game. RP gives up a base runner and gets 2 outs. Oh you take him out for another RP to get 1 out. This seems to be Oli’s patented move with Jojo and Kittredge lately. I can understand why, but it isnt fun to watch
It’s over the top stupid, Albert. I like your suggestion, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen them make a decision on a challenge in less than a minutes time. The fellas in NY have to check with the odds makers first…
