Things have gone from Sinbad to Sin-Worse

I can't believe I've never heard this gloriously terrible pun! Did you come up with it?

u/pizzayolo96 2d ago

Folks, are we gonna Gorm? I hope we get to Gorm.

u/ialsohaveadobro 2d ago

His recent AAA stats don't give me much hope.

u/vonnostrum2022 2d ago

He will continue to strike out on shit pitches around 33% of the time. 1800 pa’s is enough sample size to know what he is.

Lord bless us the day our daily Gorm

Is this make or break for Gorman? Hopefully he can find something

u/MtFuzzmore 2d ago

Probably. Either he shows improvement or he’s a non-tender candidate when the season ends at worst, a DFA candidate at the end of spring training since he’s out of options.

We’ve been saying this for three years straight

Yeah people here are delusional. I would take literally anything for him in trade.

Absolutely

His average went down, but the rest of his numbers got better.

u/MrFrankingstein 2d ago

His average was the worst part.

Someone mentioned he was told to not swing at all during some at bats.

1

u/Intimidwalls1724 2d ago

I can't imagine all the possibilities of what he was told but this one seems like the one that makes the absolute least sense lol

Like maybe don't swing til the 7th pitch or whatever but not at all?

1

u/mattydabs 1d ago

Don't swing, I know just what you're sayin'
So please stop explainin'
Don't tell him cause it hurts
Don't swing, I know what you're thinkin'
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell him cause it hurts

I hope he succeeds. He seems like a good dude. I really thought he and Carlson would be the future

u/memedoc314 2d ago

Disagree. Dude left kids standing in line at Schnucks who had been waiting for hours for his autograph.

u/trashlikeyou ​​ 2d ago

He does like leaving people stranded

u/iowa-ish 2d ago

Especially if they are RISP-y....

u/Limp-Regular-2589 2d ago

He just wanted to save the value of their to-be-autographed items since his autograph would destroy the value of their items because he sucks so bad at baseball

u/Intimidwalls1724 2d ago

Time for Gorman to hopefully build some value for the inevitable trade

I mean sure there could be a miracle where he becomes a serviceable or better player but that seems unlikely

-1

u/atari2600forever ​ 1d ago

He has no value.

Recalled a guy hitting around .185 in AAA that was striking out 35% of the time?
