With Sandberg it was more than 30 games. Kid couldn't hit anything. He started as a third baseman. Manager told him not to worry about it, you are our third baseman. He was slender and not hitting his weight. I was actually surprised he left him alone, but I guess they saw something they liked.

Were now comparing this kid to Ryne Sandberg. i think we should slow down a bit.

Dobbins to IL. Quinn Matthews called up (though he was going to be already anyway).

They do have off days coming up the next two Mondays but Goold seems to think Cooper Hjerpe or Brycen Mautz will be the next ones likely to be called up for a spot start.

OK, WTH was Marmol thinking? He shouldn’t have started the 9th with OBrien and he definitely should’ve pulled OBrien when he allowed the 4-3 lead. Then he let OBrien pitch when he clearly didn’t have his stuff and was nearing 40 pitches. That HR pitch to Schwarber was predictable at that point.

As far as the manager goes, you get what you pay for. I would have thought with new upper level mangement taking over, that the front office would have made a clean break with the on the field operations starting with the manager. But that apparently is not the Cardinal Way. Having said that, I will give kudos to Marmol for his job so far this year, particularly up to the all-star break. We all know that there have been issues with the pitching since circa 2023. This pitching staff lacks depth and apparently has hit the wall.

Pallante and Dobbins on the IL so they have to scramble to fill 2 rotation spots. Also a BP that is constantly tasked with getting 10+ outs every game is wearing out. 25 runs in 3 games @ Philly.
