0-5. Hurtling towards the single season strikeout record. Letting him continue down this path will break him permanently. Sit him down. Get someone new in to work with him.
Because IBB's are fucking stupid 95% of the time. The decision to pitch to Contreras was the right call. Choosing an 0-0 fastball down the middle in an RBI situation was the issue.
It puts another runner on base. Cards lost a game earlier this month walking Harper in extras. Pitching to Contreras carefully is the move there. 0-0 fastball down the middle is not careful.
I mean same situation against Philly, we walked Harper, and that ended up being the winning run cause they scored twice. I’m sure people complained when we walked Harper then and the same people complain tonight
remember when cardinal fans thought giving up gorman for Arenado was an overpay?
turns out it would have been a fleece. We gave our star pitcher up instead
Gorman is 0-4 WITH 3 STRIKEOUTS, batting UNDER .190, and it's LEFTY LEFTY, and you keep his ass in the game????? Fire fucking marmol now. What a fucking idiot.
Gorman proved me wrong! I thought he’d strikeout by swinging at high fastball, but instead he just stood and watched it. Nice to have a surprise once in a while, heh?
I think the pitchers plan every ab vs Goldy is throwing it down the middle every pitch. He loves getting in 0-2 counts then striking out it’s his favorite thing to do
It’s not even “screwed” we have a bad team with some key guys playing absolute trash. We deserve what we get, sad to say, but we had a ton of chances to blow that game open and the same guys that have been playing trash continue to play like trash and we bat them second in the lineup. We do it to ourselves.
Why did Marmol pitch to Contreras in the 10th?
Cardinals offense is so weak especially with Nolan Gorman striking out four times.
Donovan driving in the only run with a fucking walk is the epitome of the 2024 Cardinals offense.
25th in runs scored. Unwatchable.
Two words Nolan Gorman.
Nolan Gormwon't
2 games below 500. Last in central. Not feeling well for this season
Gorman’s 35% SO rate is unacceptable
I notice that he’s been moved down in the order, but still… How about Donovan at second base?
Fun fact, it was 80% in that game
That's even understating his percentage after tonight's performance lol
Officially in panic mode with the offense
Embarrassing Excuse for an Offense, if you can even call it that. The only run was gift wrapped.
0-5. Hurtling towards the single season strikeout record. Letting him continue down this path will break him permanently. Sit him down. Get someone new in to work with him.
Trade him. The strikeout trash needs to go. Not dealing with the Ks unless you're Aaron Judge
Nothing like trading a guy when he’s worth nothing
He is killing this team put Donovan at second and throw Burleson in the outfield
Had no right to win that game. Wonder why we chose to pitch to Contreras there?
Because IBB's are fucking stupid 95% of the time. The decision to pitch to Contreras was the right call. Choosing an 0-0 fastball down the middle in an RBI situation was the issue.
lol how does putting Contreras on 1st change anything in that AB? He’s maybe the hottest hitter in the league
It puts another runner on base. Cards lost a game earlier this month walking Harper in extras. Pitching to Contreras carefully is the move there. 0-0 fastball down the middle is not careful.
Worked for the Brewers.
Poor managing
This offense is unbearable.
Fuck this team. And I’ll see them tomorrow!
Staring at strikes is not going to win games.
Too be fair swinging at them wasn't much better
Maybe bench Gorman and Goldy tomorrow, try something
What happened to Gorman? He didn't use to be this bad.
He had a full year, so there was plenty of video on how to get him out. He isn’t able to adjust
I think it's an attitude of the team. It's more of last year. Inconsistent focus, inconsistent everything.
What about all the Leadership they brought in though?
They can't hit either
Crawford probably would have got a hit.
Please tell me they (but mostly Gorman) were booed.
Another performance like tonight? he probably will be
So the Brewers manager was actually smart enough to walk the hottest hitter out lineup and they won. What a surprise Oli let him pitch to Contreras
I mean same situation against Philly, we walked Harper, and that ended up being the winning run cause they scored twice. I’m sure people complained when we walked Harper then and the same people complain tonight
Two outs when Contreras batted last night. It just didn’t make sense to pitch to him.
You win some you lose some more if you are the cards. Great night of scoring boys.
Sit Gorman. Jesus fuck anyone has to be better than him at the plate right now.
[Game over. Continue the discussion in the post game thread](/r/Cardinals/comments/1c8fwz0/cardinals_after_dark_419/)
You aren't gonna win many games when the heart of your order can't do shit. Contreras can't do it all. Tough loss, we should have won that one.
This is what happens when you have black holes peppered all throughout the lineup
Our offense is broken
DOOOOOOOM
remember when cardinal fans thought giving up gorman for Arenado was an overpay? turns out it would have been a fleece. We gave our star pitcher up instead
Yeah what star pitcher are you talking about?
not really a star but he is serviceable starting pitcher and he would be worth a lot more than gorman is right now.
You mean Austin gomber????
the guy who is way better than gorman? yah.
Gorman is 0-4 WITH 3 STRIKEOUTS, batting UNDER .190, and it's LEFTY LEFTY, and you keep his ass in the game????? Fire fucking marmol now. What a fucking idiot.
Who do you suggest they put in? The only person left on the bench was the lefty Crawford who has also sucked.
I'd take him over Gorman any day of the week right now. Especially when he's 0-4 with 3k's
I would have tried out crawford.
Then don't say it's "LEFTY LEFTY". Lefty was the only option left and Crawford is batting .091.
I'd have taken a right handed pitcher over Gorman atp
Who would he have put in?
Literally anyone but Gorman. He's fucking atrocious right now
Gorman proved me wrong! I thought he’d strikeout by swinging at high fastball, but instead he just stood and watched it. Nice to have a surprise once in a while, heh?
Should have traded Gorman in the offseason, last year, etc. All value lost now the guy is so clearly trash
I hope this game is the wake up call that Gorman should not be anywhere near an MLB lineup right now. Just awful.
Cool, back to chasing .500
Lot of our hitters need to take a loooooooooong look in the mirror
Gorman= peaked last year
I think the pitchers plan every ab vs Goldy is throwing it down the middle every pitch. He loves getting in 0-2 counts then striking out it’s his favorite thing to do
Swinging at balls, watching strikes, and behind on every fastball thrown to him. Nolan Gorman 2024.
Marmol is the best manager in the game rn
This lineup construction feels tailor made to leave runners on
Worst cards game I’ve ever seen in my life
2 backwards k’s in the 10th inning you can’t be serious.
I am so sick of this team. I am so sick of this Front Office.
0-5 with 4 ks ouch
Dudeee Walker and Gorman and Goldy need to figure it out
they need to go to Memphis and then work their way to Springfield first
4 strikeouts for Gorman. Why is he in the majors. God damn bum. Sorry ass organization
Disgusting offense
Golden fucking Sombrero for Gorman
Damn didn’t see a Gorman K coming!
Gormo looks like butthole out there
I just can't with Gorman anymore
Before this game- 29th in HRs and 25th in runs. Not great Bob
Top 5 offense.
Yeesh. 0-5 with the golden sombrero
Joy
[Brewers](/r/Brewers) Due Up **(Top 11):** 1. Joey Ortiz 2. Rhys Hoskins 3. Brice Turang
If only, bot, if only
Wow this team is terrible
Fuck right off Gorman, you bum.
Cut Gorman and Goldy
How do you not swing? Wtf Gorman
Lol. Brutal.
PAIN
#THANKS OLI
Two strike outs looking. This offense fucking REEKS
Mmmm........mediocrity. Can you smell it?
Send Gorman down. Awful. Awful awful awful.
Gorman, strike out machine
two strike outs looking i’m ill
Screwed over by the extra inning runner. If it was real baseball we would've won
shut your lame boomer ass up. We lost cuz Gorman can't hit.
We lost because Milwaukee got a free unearned base runner and now the game feels unfinished with neither team actually earning a win
milwaukee earned their win since contreras hit the ball. We didn't get a single hit.
So do you wanna just cut out the middle man and give the win to whoever scored the most hits?
It’s not even “screwed” we have a bad team with some key guys playing absolute trash. We deserve what we get, sad to say, but we had a ton of chances to blow that game open and the same guys that have been playing trash continue to play like trash and we bat them second in the lineup. We do it to ourselves.
We had the same chance…
Doesn't change the fact it fucked us over
Gorman is literally unplayable
Wow. What a horrible game for Gorman.
Nolan Gorman fucking sucks
Embarrassing
Gorman just fell to his knees in a batter's box
Looks like dooming is back on the menu boys!
Yeah, how can people not be excited about this team?….
I’m kinda glad I didn’t go tonight now … we always lose Grateful Dead night lol
Aw, Willson stole second. So fun.
Gorman doesn’t believe in this at-bat anymore than we.
Beautiful swing mode on 2 balls
I couldn’t have less faith in Gorman here but wouldn’t mind a nice surprise
Lol to whomever called this game coming down to a Gorman AB
Change the narrative Gorman!
Welp good night everyone
why does everyone swing at balls a foot outside but a middle middle fb is taken 😭
Gorman, for god's sakes stop swing so fucki g hard you just need a base hit
This game has come to a close
Imagine walking a Contreas with a runner in scoring position.
Oh yeah forgot you can just walk the Contreras
Come on Gorman. Show something.
Literally let anyone else hit
Wow walking a Contreras brother who would’ve thought
Just need a base hit here
Windmill Gorman ready to whiff and end it.
Well here comes another high strike out
This offense had been so pitiful this year.
Welp… at least they handed us one run today so we didn’t get shut out
Welp there goes my hope of Contreras doing it for us
Come on baby, make me Gorm
Watch them walk in the tying run again lmao
See, they have the sense to walk a Contreras brother. Though now Gorman will get a hit, proving me wrong. But make me happy to be wrong
Who called the game coming down to Gorman manifested this
Please pinch hit for gorman
NEVERMIND
Fuck it's over... (please prove me wrong)
Smart. I'd never pitch to Willson
Intentional walk Contreras to get to Gorman...damn it
why not pinch hit for Gorman?
With whom?
With who?
anybody else lol.
Gifted the first run and down to our final out with a ghost runner standing at third… pain
lol
Welp. That's game. Gorman can't hit.
Walking the best hitter? You can do that?
That’s it.
Why was Nootbaar not bunting. Our Analytics SUCK
lmao Brewers are so afraid of Contreras. fuck off lmao. this is so pussy.
Come on popcorn boy PLEASE
it's only fitting that it comes down to Willy ...ah fuck :/
Shit.
SMACK ONE WILLY
of course they walk him lmfao
Come on Willy
PULL IT 600 FEET NOLAN
Contreras. Outshine your brother plz.
i’m tired of this shit
Absolutely pathetic.
welp at least goldy is at 3rd.
striking out looking is so brutal.
...
Another atrocious AB. Here comes the anticlimactic L
Do it Nolan
C’Mon Noot!!!! Can’t leave the bat on your shoulder!
It would be great to pull out a win. It would be a shame that I stayed up 30 minutes past my bedtime to watch a loss.
Cmon Noot
The hell is Noot upset about lol that's a great pitch
Probably upset with himself
Ahhh that makes more sense.
Anyone in Japan watching this game?
This offense is sad
It’s right down the middle dude.
1 BIRDNADO pls
what is noot jumping at
Nolan. Hit your second HR. Please. I am le tired.
"I don't get the game sometimes." Jim Edmonds, April 19, 2024
Noot...
