Terrible managing, terrible pitching.

Both Thursday and today are just as much on Schildt as the starting pitchers. There's nothing about Gomber or Gant that should give a manager confidence that they are anything other than backend/AAAA pitchers. With expanded rosters, they should always be on a short leash.

And that’s the season. Matheny gave away too many games earlier this year, Shildt has been less than stellar after his contract, but ultimately this was a flawed roster with that relied on too many rookies that ran out of gas.

The rookies didn't run out of gas; they regressed to the mean. Guys like Gant, Gomber, Hudson, and Poncedeleon are all 5th starter/AAAA players. Mo did a terrible job building the bullpen, it was as bad as it has ever been in August but got by on luck, and then the luck normalized in September. Meanwhile, Schildt kept flushing games by relying on Norris because he couldn't see that he had been a ****ing turd since June. All the while, Mo keeps losing trades and passing on players that could help them. Pham is .338/.417.570 over the last month, FWIW.

Mozeliak cannot evaluate the guys he has in house for shit, and neither can his managers. It's why they kept running Holland, Fowler, and Norris out there, Martinez now, and it's why they jettisoned Pham, but they give these mediocre starters and relievers enough rope to hang the entire ****ing team.

It's been like 4 hours, but my ears are still ringing from Puig's laser in the 5th. Whistled right past us.
Was smart and left at 8-4 and went to Soulard for some Mission Taco. |

Other that hurts with Pham is he is just now getting into arbitration years despite his age.
