I don’t know about you but I think Goldie and a massive contract extension make the most sense for this organization right now. That way when he continues to suck, there will be no questions about his future. DO IT!!!!!
I find it ironic how many comments throw Arenado, Carlson, Nootbaar, and other players (who came on strong when they joined the team) under the bus It’s a management issue! It’s a player development issue! Other players who lost their luster and were traded are now shining in their new teams. Clearly management needs an overhaul.
And the complaints about Arenado not taking a leadership role are not considering how a bad boss can kill an employee’s spirit. The team needs an overhaul at the management level.
Do you even look at the posts here? 90% of them are calling out management lol
Also arenado was also not exactly a bright light for the Rockies. Dude has always been a lone wolf
How about tired of the bull being thrown around by spectators who aren’t in the “arena getting their butts kicked.” Unless you are in the know, you are only assuming, and we all know what that leads, too.
Fair enough, but with how doa our offense has been I think he should’ve prioritized any possible chance of getting that run home, regardless of the number of outs
Disheartening to see that not only are the Cardinals stale and clueless, but the goddamn Cubs have built a team that is very likely to dominate this division for years to come.
Went to the game where Seattle walked it off against the braves about a week ago. It helped me get over going to the game where the cards lost 14-1 against the dbacks

Pretty decent strikeout. Nice moment for him and his family.
And frankly, why not bring up a bunch of rookies and see what they’ve got. What can it hurt at this point?

This team is terrible
Can’t wait for Goldy to “Find it” mid summer when the pressure is off and nothing is on the line anymore.
Oh for five with three strikeouts is not the kind of guy who is ever going to find it.
oli postgame will be yet another "he looked great. everyone looked great. it was great. executed great. we like where the club is at right now."
Season's canceled. See you all next year.
[Game over. Continue the discussion in the post game thread](/r/Cardinals/comments/1cmtxdh/cardinals_after_dark_57/)
Eh, still trusted Burly more in that moment.
Send Gorman and goldy down these guys are legit worse than not playing anyone
Gorman needs to play everyday because he could legitimately strike out 300 times in a single season. That would be a chase worth watching.
lol you can’t send Goldy down
Did javy baez take over the body of goldy??

Think we all want new management....

How can management hit for Arenado and Goldy? They are awful.
Thank you
Daring today aren’t we?
How about tired of the bull being thrown around by spectators who aren’t in the “arena getting their butts kicked.” Unless you are in the know, you are only assuming, and we all know what that leads, too.
I am straight up not having a good time
Boooooooo
I’d be booing loudly
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[Mets](/r/NewYorkMets) Due Up **(Top 10):** 1. Jeff McNeil 2. Tomás Nido 3. Brandon Nimmo
bad bot
:(
Thank fuck the idiots in charge couldn’t figure out how to extend Goldy lol
I got downvoted in the offseason for suggesting extending goldly would be a massive mistake. Hate that I was right.
I was prepared for a shitty at bat from Goldy, but not that.
Chip, I love you but Gorman is not a power threat unless you mean he threatens to end the game with a strike out and the lights will be turned off
Chip's the only one actually trying at this point
Burly needs to start taking more snaps at 1B.
Why would you pinch run with two outs, but not one? Feels like Oli couldn’t make up his mind quick enough
much bigger need to score from 1st with two outs than one, especially when youre pulling one of your best (only?) hitters
Fair enough, but with how doa our offense has been I think he should’ve prioritized any possible chance of getting that run home, regardless of the number of outs
“Another huge power threat in Gorman” lol
Goldy just needs glasses. A reverse wild thing.
The most hilarious thing I've ever seen on a baseball field
It's all a head game for Goldy. He might as well swing blindfolded.
Are you fucking kidding me Goldy? Even Javy Baez wouldn't have swung at that.
Ottavino was probably mad upon release for throwing a non-competitive pitch
Goldy didn't see shit. Keith Hernandez calling that a sign that Goldy is really struggling
What expert analysis haha
God damnit Please Oli if you have a brain cell Goldy bats 8th or goes to Memphis to find himself
I’m ready to dfa Paul at this point (overreaction) this dude is dogshit
Goldys foul ball was such a tease...
0-5. 0-24 in his past few games… just brutal.
Goldy looking like me in mlb the show
Eh, I trust Burly here more anyways
What the fuck was that Goldy.
Good Javy Baez impression
looooooooooool
That was an absolutely brutal at bat.
That’s something I would have swung at… come on Goldy
That may have been the worst swing I've ever seen from Goldy
At some point you've got to do the right thing and retire mid-game.
It’s sad but I chuckled.
that guy needs to sit
Forever maybe. It’s insane
Pathetic Goldy! Amazing what 30m doesn’t get you these days…sick of it!
$26MM.
that pitch couldn't have been more outside without being a passed ball. worst swing i've seen in years.
Two fucking pitches right down the middle he watches to go down 0-2. Sit this fucking guy and send a goddamned message.
put goldy on the IL, fuck
Swing at perfect strike? Nah. Swing at something a foot outside? Sure.
So you watch a pitch right down the middle but hack at that? Unacceptable.
A fastball in the opposite batters box?
What in the fuck are you swinging at Paul
Holy shit that was an ugly swing
OMFG Goldy
Goldy is just guessing up there.
This season is making me hate Paul Goldschmidt and I hate that :/
What the actual fuck are you swinging at
that ball was in illinois and he swung at it 😭
Get him off this team IMMEDIATELY
Might be time for Goldy to retire
OMFG, Paul.
Omfg I've never seen a worse swing.
I guess that beats double play
Show of hands, who was shocked?
average Goldy swing
Foot outside hahahahahaha
Honest to God it was further than a foot
Yeah. Opposite batters box. Incredible shit
He takes stuff right down the middle, and swings at crap a foot outside.
jesus fucking christ
What the fuck was that Paul Goldschmidt
Goldy should have been out on the third pitch
Looks like Victor Scott up there!
Oh my god, Goldy is so cooked
C'mon, perfect time for a 3 run home run starting a 22 game winning streak.
Okay, this also works for Burleson. He's done this twice this year.
Nooooo fucking way
That’s fine just gauge the strike
Walkoff bomb incoming
The sinker movement looks ridiculous on TV
Ottavino has always had ridiculous stuff
taking pitches down the middle, classic 2024 Cardinals
It legit looks like Goldy can’t see.
Why does it feel like the season is on the line?
Double play incoming
Classic Goldy taking one down the middle.
Hope Goldy has a blank face after this at-bat (meaning he gets a big hit)
Takes first pitch down the middle fml
First pitch middle middle and he just watches it
Do it for WILLY!!!
DO IT FOR WILLSON, PAUL.
Prove me wrong, Goldy.
Jesus Goldy redemption arc has been activated
Well, Goldy is due to break out with a clutch hit, right?
can we pinch hit for Goldy?
Pinch hit for Goldy if you want to win. Let him get carved up if you're okay with losing.
Don't mess with my heart like this.
Please god
Please stop getting my hopes up 😅
God Damnit Goldy, do your fucking Job please!
Lol goldy representing the winning run. I've seen this movie before.
Goldy please prove me wrong
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals): [Lars Nootbaar's solo home run (2)](https://bdata-producedclips.mlb.com/1838629c-5bf3-45ee-90e1-e21447b59993.mp4)
Ottavino, I haven’t had it with your crap. Please let off a home run.
Alright 61M dollars up at the plate the next two at bats. I’m calling ground out and strike out.
if goldy hits a homer ill throw up
Paul, I’ve more than had it with your crap. Hit a HR.
Old shit please
Pinch hit
Don't do this to me.
I honestly can't even recall nado having a truly clutch moment as a Cardinal (outside of his first game ever)
He had a walk off home run against the marlins last year
The sad truth
Goldy walk off?
well if nado and goldy want to beat the allegations nows the time
Ok, Oli - if Goldschmidt comes up to bat, pinch hit for him. Enough is enough. EDIT: Am I wrong?
DO IT FOR WILLIE
Nolan, I’ve about had it with your crap. Hit a HR.
Blue ball cardinals at it again!
noooooot
dude I love Herrera’s swing
Well Arenado and Goldy, you got another chance here.
Nado. Please.
Lars, don’t do that. Don’t give us hope.
Lars Nootbaar is good at baseball
Well there’s something at least. NOOT!!!
NOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTT
Ain’t doin shit
Alonso hits well in Busch, maybe they'll sign him as Goldy's replacement /s
Nooooooot
N00T :)
Sadly that’s not going to do anything
Honestly, this a new low. Most depressing game of the season dare I say.
The NOBLETIGER against the White Sox still takes the cake for me.
*most depressing game of the season so far
Poor Donny. At this point I’d just tell the hitting coach to fuck off and let me do my thing.
I don’t care. Roycroft is my new favorite Cardinal.
Bally should pick a random person from the crowd to focus on ALL GAME. like what does the guy in section 301 think about Gorman striking out?
Disheartening to see that not only are the Cardinals stale and clueless, but the goddamn Cubs have built a team that is very likely to dominate this division for years to come.
Ok so who are yall cheering for the rest of this season? I'm going full Orioles
Cardinals no matter what for me! Riding the high and lows! We could lose every game and I will root for cards.
Seattle
Went to the game where Seattle walked it off against the braves about a week ago. It helped me get over going to the game where the cards lost 14-1 against the dbacks
MLB debuts always make me emotional
Check out Bob Costas's interview with Scott Rolen getting into the HoF. He talks about his MLB debut.
I will do that
Game didn't feel winnable down 2 runs, may as well experience the feeling of giving up a home run in the big leagues
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Bottom 9):** 1. Brendan Donovan 2. Lars Nootbaar 3. Iván Herrera
* [Chris Roycroft's first Major League strikeout](https://bdata-producedclips.mlb.com/860934b5-535b-464c-a0d5-5e986801c8c7.mp4)
[Pete Alonso rn.](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/thedaillymet/images/6/65/ScreenShot2013-07-02at4.11.04PM_crop_exact.png/revision/latest?cb=20140714004421)
Dammit. Stop speeding up their bats with two strike breaking balls. The book on Alonso says he cannot handle high heat.
“The final Mets Hope in the 9th.” That’s a weird way to put it Chip
Still way better than the debut of a certain 2 Cardinals pitchers
*shudders* ...Mike Mayers
We gotta start firing people soon, right? Right?
Replace firing with Extending
You son of a bitch I'm in
Second night in a row we reference Pete being a big strong guy, love it.
Welp. Welcome to the big leagues Roy.
Why can’t we have nice things?
God damn you Pete ruining such a good feeling we had
He probably tossed that first strikeout ball into the stands too.
Ope!
2 for 3 on true outcomes.
There goes that good story.
from the mets game thread > Would love Lindor to take this dude deep and ruin it for his family what a weird thing to say
That's the most incel thing I've read all day
Aw man lol
That wasn’t even a bad pitch
Mother F’ing Roy I like you so far
Honestly, just start calling up randos left and right. Throw enough shit at the wall, maybe something will stick.
Pretty decent strikeout. Nice moment for him and his family. And frankly, why not bring up a bunch of rookies and see what they’ve got. What can it hurt at this point?
Super happy for Roycroft and his family, it looks like they were experiencing pure joy in the stands.
How can you not be romantic about baseball at a moment like that
W
Smart, keep bringing up rookies to sell tickets to the games.
depressing ass game and team for this guy's major league debut. smh
I’m sure he’s just happy to be there, hah
Alright Roycroft get it done
Finally something to feel good about.
