JD like you I love Edmonds analysis and his keen eye even from the booth and the minute nuances he picks up on it would be nice I would even consider him as candidate for a manager if he wanted to commit I think he has the analytical aptitude and love for the game needed its the other elements needed for either position I also like you don't if Jim would embrace on a full-time basis.
Jimmy Baseball would get in the cage with guys once a week and tell them "whatever makes you feel comfortable and go play ball". Really not much he needs to do. They micromanage major league players.
You mean Jim Edmonds.. everyone likes Jimmy he's pretty smart in a lot of areas. I don't know if he's interested in that. I wish he would have more tv time in the booth for the games.
I think the pitching league wide is much better this year than ever. You really don't see alot of crazy high BA's. Seems they have taken advantage of the video/ antalictics better than the hitters. Maybe a person to fix the mechanics of a swing is the most important thing to look for. Pitches are coming in too fast to really read spin anymore, so hitters really need something else to look for when hitting. When someone finds that is when it might even out again. Till then, pitchers are on top rn.
This is true only what 5 hitters hit above 300 when we used to have 30 or so. Surprisingly Cards ranked 11th in hitting out of 30 teams the teams ahead of us had better slug and ops..I didnot see risp but I heard we were near bottom. Cards tied with 248 batting avg. nyy, brewers and kc but these teams had a better slug and ops.
If you tell Nolan Arenado to take a lap when he swings at a pitch outside the zone, he will tell you to go piss up a rope. Do you think the organization will get rid of a Arenado or the coach who told him to take the lap?
Chaim will probably get who he wants for the hitting coach and he will probably be making trades and signing free agents as well. Mo will probably be there just for feedback.
@@teambigv I would say that the DeWitts and Mo already had a plan for 2025, before Bloom was hired. It won't change much. Chaim will be working for the DeWitts after 2025, not for himself. Don't forget that, because revenue is likely going to be a problem in StL for the foreseeable future.
2:09 @@rayrussell6258 yes of course he works for the Dewitt's and not for himself. The reason they hired Chaim is he already has the experience doing the more for less baseball business model. What I'm saying is that Mo and Chaim will collaborate on trades, FA signings if there's any to be done, because it affects Chaim in the future.
@@teambigv but he's not about winning baseball games, that's why he was fired in Boston, and why I feel his future in StL will be severely limited, fans will quickly revolt and good players will leave as soon as they get enough years to qualify for free agency. He made bad deals in Boston to cut payroll at the expense of winning, created chaos there, and the DeWitts will be forced to shorten his tenure. I don't believe it will matter if he collaborates with Mo in 2025, the product on the field for most of Bloom's contract won't be an improvement over 2024. More for less doesn't win a World Series.
I agree that it's not always teh coach's fault. It seems to me that the Cardials have develped an attitude taht we're not used to seeing. They're a bit mor of hte "Ooh well," than they usually are. Don't get me wrong, there ae some good ones in te lineup. Maybe I can say, there's a diffrent feeling going on in St. Louis. Its not one of being a winner.
StL cannot improve Minor League development or MLB hitting by moving hitting coaches out of the Minor leagues up to MLB, when recent players have been coming up as unprepared as they have been to hit MLB pitching. That "from within" is the approach that has gotten us to where we are, seems to me, if the review by Bloom is to be believed that we've fallen behind. Those guys need to stay where they are, but put more help down there with them to improve coach-to-player ratios for better instruction. My choice for hitting coach would be pursue someone recently retired after a long career in MLB as a player, not necessarily a former Cardinal. Could that player be Joey Votto? Would he be interested? IDK, but he sure had a successful hitting career for a lot of years, and just retired. Jason Heyward hasn't retired yet, but at his age (35?) he might be willing to retire and take a hitting coach role. He was signed out of high school, has been with winning franchises throughout his career, including a World Series winner, and that winning background is a plus he'd bring with him, to help with club leadership. And he could also help with outfield defense instruction, not just hitting. I have the impression he wants to remain in baseball beyond his playing career, he has been dedicated to the game of baseball all his life.
JD I think you're a smart guy and being as that why would you think someone already in the organization which is failing would be a smart choice no one from the organization should be promoted they need new voices from outside the organization because what they've been doing obviously isn't working
Does JD not know that most hitting coaches are only in the job for 3-5 years? I mean, its also the same for pitching coaches and managers. Does JD not know that the length of service of larussa and dave duncan are OUTLIERS and not the norm? All coaches and manager expect a 3-5 year run. Like that is very common knowledge dont know why he laments our hitting coaches so much.
@@tonynelson2259 they remind me of 06 cards getting hot at the right time and Boston that year when they mowed through everyone expecally our cards and remember they just took 2 out of 3 from dodgers at end of the year
@@tonynelson2259not Yanks to many ws champs in the past..I don't want the Phil's either😅 ..Mets I hope but they probably wont..at least I don't have to see Dr. Bellows till next year😂
Kinda feel bad for both Jeff and Turner. Basically got ran outta town by the villagers with pitchforks and torches. Not that they really should have stayed for the exact reasons mentioned here, but the rioting fans were a little much!
They probably should have kept the hitting coach around, even though he failed miserably this year, honor his contract ya know. Why not? Works for Oli and Mo.
Sorry firing him was not enough everyone screams how well Ili did with the bullprn but they blew 28 games which was 5th highest in MLB and that dint include games that they list when tied
That whole management squad should of been replaced! No accountability marmol should of been gone! Bring on Yadi and Albert as Mgr and Bench Coach. I guarantee we'll be a force! There's now way marmol should still be there but he's MOZOs pick.
You were right in all respects about Ward, JD. He was there when good things happened with our hitting, and Mo is the cause of the performance decline because it's the roster HE puts together. not Ward. ...... but again you go too far when you say Walker belongs in the Major leagues, and maybe we can even question Gorman at this point. Those two have long term issues to address in their play --- on both sides, offensively and defensively. Those issues have to be broken down, rebuilt and addressed in the Minor leagues, there is no quick fix that can happen at the Major league level. Coaches here are maintaining consistency of 26 players, they are not here doing major reconstruction of players. There's no time for that. And at the top level, you can't waste two spots on your roster with players who struggle to perform competitively every day, while other teams are at full force. If Goldy won't be brought back for one more year, then Walker and Gorman don't belong, until they prove in the Minors that they belong.
Look up viva el birdos from October 2021 it gives a behind the scenes look at the meeting that got schildt fired. I liked schildt but if the story is accurate then I feel he really didn’t give them much choice but to fire him. Philosophical differences are one thing but you can’t argue with your boss in front of his boss and expect it to be overlooked unless you have a very good reason and kiss a lot of ass very quickly.
0 balls 2 strikes waste a pitch. 3 balls 0 strikes strike 1. Ball right at the belt , look at the pitch. Ball near the shoes, swing at the ball. Runner at third, try to hit a homer. Runner at rirst, one out , Goldy hits into a dp. Bottom of ninth , strikeout strikeout pop out. Cardinals baseball 2024. Dang and drat. Only shutout 4 times.
Can u imagine a world where they didn't want a yes man and Sclidt a lifelong Cardinals minor league coach is still here SMH nothing 🤦 going to get better till Dewitts sell the team
You are in the lower 10 % that like Jimmy Edmonds on air. All the fans i know Have MLB because you can select the announcer. I will even listen to the CUBS over Edmonds but I blame that on finish his career with the Chicago.

I Think Jim Edmonds or Ryan Ludwick would be good Ludwick has worked with a lot of the kids at Memphis
Hey JD;
Pujols, Edmonds, Ludwick and Sietzer would be at the top of my list. Now I wish I could think of someone that might do it! That’s the problem.
Would Sietzer leave the Braves for the Cards to just be the hitting coach? Sietzer should be considered for the Card managerial position.
@@DavidBrielmaierInteresting! Very interesting!
I watch you everyday. Thank you for your keen insight.
Oh Matt Carpenter would be a player - hitting coach.
Big Mac, Albert Pujols, Jim Edmonds. My top 3 in that order.
Edmonds would be a good fit, but I don't think he wants to be away from his family and commit to the demanding travel schedule.

They need a hitting coach/motivational speaker. If you strike out on a pitch outside,you owe me laps type guy😂

R. Lee Ermey passed away, sadly. He would have been great!
Why is everyone fixated on former Cardinals?
Hope yall do podcasts agian together wanted 2 see Brew crew win after we were out this season! Go Tigers !!
Some needs to get the Cardinals players to catch the ball with the bat! Yes it works!
I will say this team has got far more talent than you will admit.
Pretty sure Ricky Horton noticed that on Devin Williams pitching when they played STL the last series this year.
For all
Chaim will probably get who he wants for the hitting coach and he will probably be making trades and signing free agents as well. Mo will probably be there just for feedback.
Nope, Mo is being kept to be the hatchet man in 2025, so Bloom keeps his hands clean the first year, while he plays with the Minor leagues.
Mo will be the take the heat guy for the next year, but you can bet Chaim will have a say it affects his future after all.

Send in the Red Jackets that lived the real Cardinal Way.
Problem is who is making the hire....MO?
They have a batting champion on the coaching staff. Willie McGee. The cardinals keep trying to reinvent the game while overlooking the obvious.
Want teacherman to be the advisor and implement his philosophy
I too would like to see Edmonds as hitting coach so... that won't happen. Players have too listen, pride can be a terrible thing.
but by the time they get rid of moving people the players they have left wont have that kind of pride if they want to stay.
Outing Turner Ward , definitely needed to happen, now if they can get a reliable replacement, that’s the question.
But just not the person who hired him, Mo. Everyone’s a problem except those with ultimate power

Ryan Ludwig is my choice!
Skip if he doesnt get a head coach job, or John Jay would be great(if he doesnt go back with skip)
I hope they go outside to get a hitting coach i think they need two one for the right hand one for the left the approach is different
Ward was brought in from l.A.how d that work out
Edmonds is selling his house he just had built recently. So I doubt he's staying in St. Louis
