In Whitey’s prime our outfield right now would Garcia, Arozerena and TON/Carlson. How do I know? Because he had an approach speed, defense, get on base. You would see Edman/Wynn up the middle for the same reason.
Oli and Mo have no idea what approach to take, it’s scattergun at best. |

Who needs a kid hitting .324 while playing stellar gold glove defense when you have a fatass Brandon Crawford to run out there.

Just saw the Victor Scott error. Yiiiiiiiikes.
Get the kid outta here. That was awful. Worse, it was lazy. Took a bad route and then compounded it by drifting to the spot instead of beating the ball there. That's as bad as you'll see on a ball like that. |

Remember at one point we had Walker. Pujols, Edmonds, and Rolen in the middle of the order...our broadcasters act like we have that NOW. Last night.....500 ball and the bats haven't heated up yet! What a lineup!

But that's the state of the lineup. Goldschmidt is done and was a hollow-offense compiler at his best. Arenado just seems to be hunting for mistakes at this point. Gorman and Walker are disasters. Winn will probably put it in play but isn't exactly putting a charge into the ball. |

And of course Walker with a grounder to shortstop to end it.
Just keep doing what got you here - dick. |

Jordan Hicks pitching well for SF today. Again.
But hey - how can Mozeliak have expected him to go someplace else and be good? He was only here for 6 years. |

The Giants, on the other hand, slowed him down to 95 so he's not at max throw each time and he is more accurate. They slightly changed his arm delivery and wanted him to add specific pitches, rather than tinkering with a little bit of everything. It was quite maddening to listen to and eventually I just had to stop. There are some serious problems in the Cardinals leadership. |

Forward-thinking organizations would have traded Goldschmidt after 2022 knowing that the decline was coming. I advocated for it that offseason. The most galling part of these ****ups is how predictable they are.
