ttitansfan4life Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Welcome back Noot!!! Walker continues to be useless. Who honestly thought his glove would be better than his bat? Edited April 13 by ttitansfan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Cardinals had the (2) lowest attendance numbers for series' to open the year at Busch of Mozelaik era. They averaged under 31K/game. Seems like the fans are finally growing a sack and tlling the FO/ownership they're growing tired of the mediocrity they've become complacent with.

Those clowns deserve it. DeWitt doesn’t want to spend and I’m not sure what the hell Mo and his lackey are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 It's time to move Goldy out of the #2 spot in the order for a bit. He's been brutal thus far. At least the FO didn't give him an extension heading into the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would've been a hard thing to sell to the fanbase. Remember, we were all expecting this FO to significantly upgrade the rotation and they had all the peices in place on offense already. I think Goldy will come around, he's been anotorious slow starter thoughout his career, but they need to be adaptive and not just keep hitting him in the (2) hole when there are better options right now. I don't think he's an extension candidate to me though unless he just rakes the all the way through September. I've seen him enough over the last few years go silent the last month of the year and then carry it into the playoffs. I can't justify giving that a 'legacy' extention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Nice outing by Lynn last night. It's good to get a win, but I wish our offense could muster a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Herrera needs to be in the lineup everyday. Dude can hit. On the other hand, I’ll be so glad when Matz is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think he was this kind of hitter. I thought he was more of a defense first guy in the minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgarrett12486 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 This offense from top to bottom is putrid. I've never seen so many guys be in this prolonged of a slump at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet Oli blames the players. Obviously they deserve partial blame but if the entire offense is this bad, it starts with the man calling the shots. I really despise that man.

This has been going on for 12-18 months with most of this player group. it's been a recurring theme with guys ike Goldschmidt and Arenado, which can't happen. You can't pay these guys to be superstars and them not be for prolonged periods of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't pay these guys to be superstars and them not be for prolonged periods of time. He makes the lineups. He just finally moved Goldy out of the #2 spot, which I've been clamoring for since last year. Moving him down to 5 now is the right call, but he should've been in the 3 spot where he could drive guys in. You don't put a guy with 100 RBI potential there when we have plenty of other guys who fit that role better. Also, when a fast guy like Scott continues to drive the ball in the air, it's up to him and the hitting coach to work with him on getting it on the ground more. This is a minor one but just another example of him being completely lost on how to manage his guys. He's also the leader. When guys aren't hitting in a game, you know it's gonna be that way for the full game. They get down on themselves and there is no fight in the team, and that falls on him. Not to mention the couple dozen times already this year I've asked myself what is he doing real time, only to have it hurt us. Pitching to Contreras the other day was just one example. MIL walked our Contreras (who is producing but not at the level of theirs) and got out of the inning. Same scenario and we pitch to him, and surprise he hurts us. He's not an MLB manager. Why we hired (and extended him) with his lack of proven experience beforehand still blows my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
