OT: OT: Lets Go Cardinals! (All Baseball Talk Here) Part 2

[Vladys Gumption]

IIRC, Flaherty chose to not sign an extension and wants to go to arbitration. I am pretty sure this is basis for Cards’ fans view that he wants out.

I may be off on some of this, but it’s something like that.

And at this point it looks like passing on a long term deal was a pretty big mistake on his part. The guy cant stay healthy,

That’s my take as well. His mistake to not take the guaranteed money.

I do find it entertaining that we blame how bad we are because the Cards don't spend money. But the teams that did spend (Yankees and Mets) are also f***ing god awful as well.

Tampa making EVERYONE look like chumps!

Only 2 of the top 5 highest payrolls in the league are in a playoff position at the current time and thats SD and LAD. Philly, Mets, and Yankees are not. Yankees are last in their division and Mets and Philly are 3rd and 4th in theirs.

Oh no we didn't sign Rodon.

Oh he's injured.

Oh no we didnt resign Q.

Oh, he's injured too.

2 good comeback wins, Gorman should be playing everyday. It is idiotic to not let Contreras catch.

I don’t necessarily agree on Gorman, instead of having him overmatched against two lefties with great stuff when he struggles against lefties, the team was able to insert him against a pitcher he had a much better matchup against and it paid off

 

[PJJJP]

Damn, Imagine losing a series to us

Funny story. I was just at Target behind a lady who had a Gorman Cardinals jersey on.

She and I chatted for a bit and it turns out she is the mother of Gorman’s girlfriend.

Just looked him up. Makes sense cuz he’s from Phoenix and went to a good buddy’s HS. He’s from a super nice area.

Both him and Liberatore grew up together as friends in Phoenix.

First inning was rough with all the walks, but after that Flaherty looked like 2019 Flaherty. Would love to see that more often.

Also, just play Gorman every game regardless handedness of pitcher. He’s too good of a hitter to keep on the bench. He’ll never get better at hitting lefties if he isn’t given the chance to face them.

Yup. Gorman's the LH power bat they've been dreaming about adding to the lineup. Play him everyday regardless of who's pitching.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Holy shit what happened lmao it was 8-1 like 15 minutes ago lmao

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Jeezus wtf happened tonight.

 

[mk80]

Now that is a series opening win!

 

[TheDizee]

they are playing good ball but until they are back at .500 this team will get no props

 

[bleedblue1223]

Guess it's time for the optimistic side. With Goldy, Arenado, Gorman, and Noot, and others that are pretty decent hitters, well have the runs to win games and get some streaks. If Walker finds his stroke, that's a mid-season boost.

Still need to find a few starters though. Liberatore should getsome action.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Arenado with another HR

 

[542365]

Bases loaded nobody out and don’t score. That’s more like the Cards we’re used to. Guarantee the Brewers score this next half inning. Not a doubt.

 

[ScratchCatFever]

Liberatore looks a 6'6" Oshie doppelganger.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Don’t look now but Dejong doesn’t look half bad so far

 

[joe galiba]

Don’t look now but Dejong doesn’t look half bad so far

his swing looks way better, compact, simple, straight to the ball
the question is if he can do it over more than a couple of weeks

 

[Mike Liut]

Libby has the best stuff on the staff…. Which isnt saying much. But I hope he stays this time. I like him

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Contreras, Yepez, Gorman, Dejong all with homers in the 3rd (latter three back to back to back). Let’s go!
