Well that game has a little bit of everything.
I can’t believe the Bums have used 16 different starting pitchers this year.
Nootbar saved the day with the best catch I’ve seen in quite awhile.
Shildt is smiling.
Looks like we are getting ‘good’ Sonny tonight.
Be fun to win the series in LA and help Schildt out a little.
The Cubs and the Brewers both look like they will be pretty good for the next 2-3 years – It’s going to be tough for the Cardinals to finish better than 3rd for a bit…
I think they should keep running Gorman out there at 3b every single day until they decide he’s a goner.
He’s not dinged up again is he??
So, Walker is really a DH that can’t hit.
I mean – damn boys – doesn’t he really need to go to AAA and stay there until he’s a AAA all-star?
He’s a very good athlete and looks fine out there. Moves well, seems more comfortable than Walker in rf.
I can’t remember – what is Walker’s ‘natural’ position?
Players we have that can play for anybody:
Winn ss
Hererra lf / dh
Donovan 2bPlayers who are worth keeping:
Contreras c (he doesn’t really hit enough at 1b so let’s move him back behind the plate?)
Scott II cf – I think he WILL hit and then he WILL steal bases
Burleson 4th of / dh – I’d like to keep him aroundPlayers we need to replace via trade/cut:
Pages / Pozo c – both are barley even back up catchers – We need a starting catcher and keep one of these.
Gorman 3b – cant’ hit and is an absolute DISASTER at 3b
Walker rf – can’t hit and is barely serviceable in the field – he just looks uncomfortable at all times – park him at AAA until further notice.
Saggesse / Fermin utility – guys like these are a dime a dozen at the ML level
Nootbar rf – can’t hit enough and can’t stay healthy
Arenado 3b – great player, great career but it’s over. I bet he now regrets killing the Houston trade last winterStarting Pitching: (we need 3 starters better than any of the 5 we have right now)
Gray / Mikolas – jettsion asap
Liberatore – ok as a 3 /4
Pallante / McGreevy – good for 4 / 5 spotsBullpen: Romero can close next year – I guess. If we suck we can dump him at the deadline.
Just whatever – keep cobbling one together this is one thing the Cardinals seem to be able to do reasonably well.
(Wetherholt is killing AAA so maybe he can take over 3b next year?)
I think Jo Jo has to close – we don’t have another L handed arm laying around somewhere to bring up or bring in?
MLB is going to want the A’s to be good when they move to Las Vegas. I expect things like draft position to ‘go their way’.
Bet that.
I just noticed that Gorman was not charged with an error last night. The scorekeeper must be his mom….
Wow, between this draft rule and regional broadcasting rights idiocy, MLB has to be the clown show of all the major sports leagues in America.
McGreevy didn’t crumble when he could have.
Gorman better take some extra ground balls.
I think Jo Jo can close even though he tettered a little bit tonight
Walker took the night off. 23 year olds don’t need nights off…
I hope the offense doesn’t go back to sleep tomorrow.
Well, if Winn stays healthy he should be our SS for a solid decade. Now we just need everything else…
What a clutch hit there.
Bottom of 3rd
Aaraez out 6-3 on a great play by Winn
Machado out 4-3 (2 outs)
(Gorman looks like hot garbage at third – no range and steel hands Clang!!)
Merrill home run to dead center – crushed it
Bogaerts dumps a single to left (2 outs runner on first)
O’Hearn grounds out 4-3End of 3rd
San Diego 4 StL 0
McGreevy has given up runs in every inning so far….
