I think it might be a little of that and the fact that he's now adjusting to AAA. I still think he's going to be a viable MLB piece.

MOSteelers56 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 On 8/12/2021 at 10:44 PM, holt_bruce81 said: Nolan Gorman had a rough start in AAA (4/39 .102 BA, 0 XBH, -24 wRC+) But since then… 33/108 .305 BA, 5 doubles, 1 triple, 6 Home runs, wRC+ up to 87. And a very reasonable 20.5% Strikeout rate. I take that all day with him. Would like to see him walk more though. He’s got around a 5% walk rate. He and Walker man, they’re going to be fun to watch. I wonder what the plan for Gorman is next year? 2B? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume he'll spend most of next year at Memphis playing 2B, but playing some 3B and maybe some LF. Sounds like a September call-up.

This next series is going to define what this 2020 team really is. We're facing Brewers and 3 of the best pitchers in baseball during this series. We're also lining up our 3 best (Wainwright, Flaherty and potentially Mikolas on Thursday). If they can take 2/3, they might change my mind on what we can do down the stretch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if we could just get the Reds to start a loosing streak. It'll still be an uphill battle to say the least, but 4 games with 44 to go isn't out of the realm of possibility. Just gotta take of winning our series' and let the rest play out. If they do that and they don't make the playoffs, I'll still feel a much better sense about this team heading into 2022.

holt_bruce81 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 14 games left this month and 9 of them are against the Pirates and Tigers. Got to win those games to have a chance. September’s schedule is pretty brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Cardinals placed OF Dylan Carlson on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to August 14, with a right wrist sprain. Hope Nootbarr can keep up the hot streak he's been on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like we get that one if Nolan doesnt get tossed. He comes up in a big spot in the 9th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
