#ForTheLou #stlcards #mlb #lockedoncardinals
Clean house in the dugout…NEW PHILOSOPHY needed. New manager, new pitching coach, new hitting coach.
New POBO, HEY HEY, HO HO, BIG MO HAS GOT TO GO. His entourage and philosophy too.
Dugout and clubhouse is doing its job, a miracle really, given the atrocious roster put together by Mozeliak and Bloom.
Clean house only in the front office, we will be fine when the new POBO brings in real players.
We need a new PRESIDENT to start off!
Fire Mo first. He's the problem. Shildt out there in SD winning with lesser franchise.
Marmol and his minions have got to go.
Fire Oli, Mo, and Ward without hesitation. Fire Blake if you can poach Chris Hook from the Brewers.
Unfortunately I don't think Oli gets fired should he yes along with Hitting Coach Ward
With a roster of senior league players over 35 year old, Marmol has miraculously got the team almost .500 for the whole season. If Mo and Bloom are fired and replaced by a capable POBO, Marmol will win the NL Division again, maybe more.
@rayrussell6258 I couldn't disagree more. Oli and miraculously don't belong in the same sentence. It's dead obvious at this point that he fails to get the most out of his players. He doesn't inspire his players to put in the extra work that's required to be great. There is no excuse for the season Gorman, Walker and Arenado had. We missed out on 30 homeruns from Tyler O'Neill because he couldn't get along with him. It just goes on and on.
@@mikew3741 Mike, sorry you've missed it somehow, but Mozeliak disrespected O'Neill in contract negotiations, while in arbitration. O'Neill got an attitude problem over the episode, and wasn't hustling and always complaining about aches and pains. He's still doing that in Boston, under a different Manager. It wasn't about Marmol. He's got 30 home runs because of the ball park he plays in, but his batting average is nearly the same as in StL the last year there. You people can't see forests for trees. O'Neill was traded by Mozeliak and Bloom, not by Marmol. This failure is all Mozeliak and Bloom, not Marmol.
Walker was put on last year's roster by Mozeliak, he put Gorman on the roster, he put Carlson on the roster. These guys didn't pan out with the talent they actually had, but Mo made those decisions to sign those players instead of others more talented, not Marmol. Walker should still be two years from even being on the field in StL. He isn't good enough.
And I have to wonder how Marmol is responsible for Arenado getting older. You really make no sense, and are among the people criticizing the wrong person. It's clear that Marmol won a Division championship when he had a capable roster. It's also clear that he got the most that could be expected out of a pitching staff of seniors over 35 year old this season. Switch your ire to Mozeliak and Bloom for what's happened to the Cardinals. You'll be more right as soon as you open your eyes to that fact.
@rayrussell6258 I didn't miss it, I remember the arbitration snub clearly. Unfortunately, that's just part of the business. A good manager still gets the best out of a player in that situation. I have consistently been calling for Mo to be fired. His product is stale, 90ish win teams that barely make the playoffs and aren't contenders for the last 10 years. That's the thing though this roster was capable of 87-90 wins, Oli simply didn't do his job. Stop making every excuse possible for him it looks pathetic at this point, he deserves to be fired.
Dewitt and Mo have destroyed this organization through their arrogance and incompetence. There is no easy way out of this, they need a total rebuild of the front office, drafting, development and coaching. I guarantee you they will cut payroll next year and there won't be any big name free agents signed for a few years. This is going to be painful time in Cardinals fandom, and this was all because Dewitt couldn't admit he made a mistake and hold Mo accountable for his many mistakes.
Ok, I stated last winter that without further additions to the roster, without a change of manager and coaches and without a change of hitting philosophy the Cardinals were again a 500 team. Absolutely hate that I was right.
The sad part of your statement is 90% of the fanbase knew that too and nothing was done except getting Gray and calling him a "Ace" when he'd be a 3 or 4 on The Yankees or Dodgers.
But you were wrong, because you didn't say to replace Mo, the root cause of everything. He even went on to hire Bloom, who was a horrible failure in Boston leading them down to last place in their Division before being fired, bringing even more losing attitude to the team in StL this year.
@@rayrussell6258 no quarrel with getting rid of Mo….however, I was right. we did not add or make changes and the results were what
i expected.
@@mwconservative lol, well I include ridding the front office of Mo and his losing philosophy in "changes" that were not made. I don't consider Marmol part of the changes needed.
Mo actually made more changes, he got rid of Carlson and Edman, then DFA's the guys he brings in like Tommy Pham. We got nothing in the trade for O'Neill either. Mo's trades have all been to reduce payroll. At least Fedde is still with us, he is a decent pitcher when he gets run support. Fans should not be blaming Marmol for any of this. It's 100% Mo and Bloom who must go.
Look at Detroit, they kept Hinch as Manager even though they had losing records a couple of years. He was getting the Marmol treatment by fans in Detroit, but team owners decided to only fire the POBO, and the new POBO has brought in good enough talent that the team has already rebounded and is tied for 2nd wildcard spot as of yesterday.
Card fan in San Diego - but, thanks for Mike Schilt- he’s been an excellent manager . The Padres’ players, media and fans love the guy !!!!
We did too, but Mozeliak wasn't a fan of his, nor of winning.
Reds fired David Bell who recently signed a 3-year contract extension. Oli can be fired.
........If they want to move on from mediocrity they clean out Marmol, Ward and Rusty Rake.
Mediocre Managers haven't won Minor league championships, NL Division pennants, or taken a senior league team of over 35 year olds to a .500 record. No clean out required in StL other than Mozeliak and Bloom, who put this roster together.
I agree that young players need coaches that can instruct them. What hurt Walker was sending him to AAA to change his swing for launch angle. Homers will come so teach them to hit other than homers. Don’t agree with Marmol doing a good job with bullpen. First half used the same 3 pitchers and had an effect after All star game . They needed rest. Much better last 2 months since had an idea to give others a chance and it was good.
that launch angle thing was an excuse to give the reporters something else to write about. Walker was sent to the Minors because he was hitting .100 and striking out 35% of the time, which should not be on a Major league team. In the first half the pitchers like Matz were on IL so much, StL only had 5 guys to hand the ball to. And Mikolas was giving up too many games all season. Players get instructed in the MINOR league, not at the MLB level. Those coaches in StL are there only to advise players when they are asked by players, and they provide advice to the Manager before and during games. They are not hand-holders for grown men professional baseball players. The problem in StL is pure and simple -- Mo and Bloom.
It is the managers job to inspire. It is clear that Marmot does not inspire and motivate.
Fire Oli and MO or enjoy 10 K attendance. I have been a fan since 1964 and despise the way Oli manages. No base stealing , no hit and runs, no bunting. Boring searching for home runs. Tell Carpenter to go help Yadi coach basketball. Good job tho JD but fans are done putting up with Moe.
If you could talk Pujols into taking the job it should be his He may hesitate knowing Molina may want it If he could talk Molina into being part of the coaching staff for a couple years and then Pujols could be the new President of baseball ops. Would Wainwright or Carpenter be pitching coach. Or maybe Molina ??? Or would he want bench coach ??? Nothing about Marmol personally but if you want to sell tickets I think you have to move on. I wonder if Pujols would be the perfect pick for Manager. Would instantly have everyones respect. **. When Herzog took over he traded the warning track fly ball hitters. He realized he had to tailer the ball team to the ball park. He cleaned house.
Yes that would be a dream too good to come true!!
Need new blood manager
I hope you're wrong.😮😮 I can't take another year of subpar baseball.🤬🤬
The Cardinal way works - Mo's way, not a chance. Oli is the personification of what is not working and has got to go along with Mo if you expect a transition. Remember, Oli was driving the bus that ran over Willson. (and Tyler O'Neill too for that matter)
Oli and Mo both need to go!
sorry but no, based on what happened to Shildt, Oli has had no choice but to submit to Mo's analytics to run the team, or else get fired too. He deserves a chance to continue beyond Mo, under a new POBO who allows Manager to make decisions based on traditional baseball intuition and experience. Analytics doesn't work.
Also, Tyler O'Neill's bad attitude was contract-negotiation related, over what Mo said about him during arbitration. He has even said since being traded he has no issues with Marmol. However, a baseball Manager has to maintain control over players on the team. There was nothing wrong with how Marmol disciplined O'Neill and Contreras.
If there is any lingering doubt about Contreras, his recent stepping out of line to make statements about the front office, even though he is right about it, shows he can be a prima-donna, and Marmol had to clip him back some over his poor defensive effort. After that episode, Contreras worked harder to improve his defense.
Someone like Billy Martin would have been even more blunt with O'Neill and Contreras. Martin chewed out Reggie Jackson in the dugout, in front of cameras. Jim Leyland similarly chewed out Barry Bonds in front of cameras. In both cases, insubordination was eliminated from the teams.
@@Brandonmichaelc see my comment below
Marmol just knows what Mo likes and how he likes it. Nothing will change.
This organization needs a new voice who has carte blanche to change the entire structure of FO personnel, coaches. They need to add more to the staff and to create hitting/pitching labs.
If this is the same old song and dance then expect the same ole results.
You: “I think Oli gets another year here to see what he can do”.
He won’t be back, he’s bad for business.
Fire em all and start from scratch. Nothing to lose here.
JD. When you say the young guys need new voices to help them, do you mean some new coaching personnel? If you do, l agree.
If Marmol is managing this team next season, it will be rinse and repeat
Not if Mo and Bloom are fired, and a capable POBO hired.
Oh i hope so. What were they thinking giving this man a 2 year extension at the start of the season after that she-at show in 2023? Get rid of him already!
Oli & Mo have to go...
If Marmol is still manager next year, the cards will have the same problems as this year. He’s the worst manager in the league.
Born and raised in St Louis what up MO 🙏🎉
JD, firstly, thank you so much for your overviews breakdowns and passion this year. I dont watch the games so hearing how it all panned out has been a great way to follow my team, because it was my great granddad's team. He was Clifford Rankin Crawford "Cap't Pat" who played with some of the gas house gang in the early 1930s. Question..What ever happened to Yadi coming back as coach? I haven't heard why that didn't ever happen. Also what has Chaim Bloom's role been this year?
I am been a fan for long time and watched the years of 69 through 81 and through alot of the 90' s without playoffs so it not the end of the world
Right.. Facing reality. It may take a couple more years, but the Cards will be back. I am not crying in my beer over the last few seasons.
My only complaint about Marmol is he replaced Schildt. He was too young. He has made some bonehead mistakes with the players. Mo and his judgements on players and the draft selections have not panned out. Trades & free agents have been mostly flops.
Man, bring a coaching staff that can evaluate talented players, keep McGee. The main culprit is Bowtie Mo. There is a reason why vets that were supposed to be in the dugout aren't in the dugout.
One of the skills Gorman and Walker need to learn is recognizing pitches. Once they do that the sky is the limit. In fact half the team can't recognize pitches, swinging at pitches way outside or watching one go down the middle.
Be prepared for some popular names to be gone next season.
Moz is done, Oli is done, there’s too much money at stake.
The Cards are worth $2.3B, business is business and Moz is bad for business.
Pages batted 240, Contreras 260, Herrera 290 Cards should try to trade him with his 20 million contract. Any takers
Went to a game in September, attendance was so sad! Ticket sales dictate a change. Mo, A
Oli, and the coaches must go!
Where are we going to spend the $2million we get back when Yadi isn't special assistant in 2025?
Get the brooms and start sweeping!
Here in Pa. most would like to see Phillies VS Orioles in the WS. Close proximity would be be so epic. People split between them. Still many Oriole fans in this area.
Skip Schumaker is a 56-96 Manager this season, last I checked. Certainly not someone who should be hired in StL. (nor should the Reds either, imo)
I agree, JD, that player performance and the front office's absolute failure to do advanced scouting, evaluate 2-way talent, and put together a winning roster are why the team isn't winning. Marmol has done miracles keeping this team near .500.
But I'm seeing nothing out of Walker other than the same thing he did last season, he fattens up his stats when the season is over for most of our opponents, or they are resting their pitchers for the playoffs to come. The new POBO needs to take the month of September, and use that to trade him. We cannot have Walker's strike outs and defensive shortcomings on the field again in 2025.
The Cardinals should play players like Baker and bring up Scott to get some playing time. They should also be careful with the starting staff to avoid injuries and should give minor league prospect pitchers.Oli is the manager and he cannot pitch or hit for the team. Better performance but not anywhere near expectations! Walker should have played regularly when he came back the first time and Baker should have been given more of a chance since Goldy may not be back. However, if Mo is retiring and Brown takes over, Brown should pick his own manager.
Bernie Miklasz discussed possible replacements for Ollie, and one that stood out to me was Albert Pujols. Honestly I don't think Ollie is going anywhere anytime soon. But I would absolutely LOVE to bring in Albert as hitting coach or asst. hitting coach. I kinda think Turner will get the axe, just for the appearance of doing something. May not be his fault, but I gotta feeling he'll take the fall for it. So bring in Albert. Get him back up to speed so that he can take over when Ollie's tenure is over.
I figured a significant payroll cut because of the production from the roughly $200m this season.
People needs to understand when pitching gives up walks that gives up runs two ways baseball games out hit opponents out scored opponents can’t blame managers for the offense can only blame hitting coaches and leaving runners on bases is the main issue all year
Although I don't put all the blame on Marmol I do believe it's time for a change in scenery . Replace him and let's add another great hitter to add to the rotation ! Come on 2025 ⚾️🔥
Look at the Tigers, who are challenging for a wild card spot this season, after a couple of losing seasons with Manager A. J. Hinch. Ownership there didn't fire Hinch, they fired the POBO Al Avila, hired a new POBO who revamped the roster, and Hinch has them in the mix for playoffs with just a few more regular season games to play.
Marmol and staff are doing a much better job with this senior league roster Mo gave them than Bell was doing in Cincinnati. Oli and staff deserve a full season under a new POBO, and the new POBO better be someone other than Bloom, who is no better than Mo at the job.
(btw, JD, the Tigers do have SOMEBODY, Tarik Skubal is very likely the Cy Young Award pitcher in the AL this season)
Hey JD; I’ve got to root for the Royals! Yep!
I’m not a Royal hater. They’re my team in the American League that I root for. I’m a Missourian who roots for the Show Me State.
The Cards are by far my favorite baseball sport team and it ain’t even close, but the small market Royals are our Missouri neighbors who play in the American League.
Forget game 6, 1985 from the stand point the Royals should not have won! The Royals did not cheat! The umpire made a horrendous call and the Cardinals could not overcome it!
That was the impact the UMPIRE had on that game and game 7. Any good team will take advantage of it and that’s what the Royals did!
The call killed the Cardinal momentum like a rogue wave sinking a ship. The Royals just surfed the wave all the rest of the way.
Anytime the Royals can beat those AL power houses is a good thing for MLB!!
You say that the major league staff could not fix Nolan Gorman but the monor league staff did fix Gorman. If this is the case doest this mean we need to find replacements for the major league staff. At least find someone to help the hitters.
What are going to do with Burleson? He's sliding a little bit, but he gave you numbers while Jordan was stinking up triple A. fire your gm, entire coaching staff and pick some winners to replace them.
Fire ward for sure need a new team to help with hitting. Could care less if they fire Oli, part of his problem is the team just isn't reliable enough.
In 2013 we won the nlds and had the 27th ranked homeruns but had a one of the best offense in runs scored RISP. RBI and batting average
SO QUITE SWINING FOR THE FENCE AND WORRING ABOUT LAUNBH ANGLES
I would take a different POBO and GM bjt keep Mo as an advisor for trade creativity (Goldschmidt, Arenado, Fedde,...) but no roster construction anymore.
If possible, change hitting coach but give Oli a chance with a decent roster. As for Blake, from what I've seen, is good. He modified pitching approach for Lynn, Gibson, Helsley, Liberatore, McGreevy and it worked. Pallante got a new pitch during this offseason, he worked with Ward to implement it in game and boy oh boy did it work when you see the improvement from last year to this year. So I would keep him. Also he changed philosophy from Maddux who is a good pitching coach but tries to apply the same philosophy without consideration for the pitchers he is working with (stuff, pitching repertoire,...), making them all get the same approach which is terrible.
The Cardinals need to rebuild let Pauli G and especially Mikolas go on somewhere anywhere please!!Sooo next season allow the young players pitchers to take thier bumps little bruises and develop them!Pallante and Gray can stay but the pitching staff needs a major overhaul too!
This offseason is all about rebuilding the front office. I couldn’t care less about signing free agents.
They will Fire Marmol, but unlike most of the trolls answering I don't blame him. He has been given an inferior roster and the 2 supposed studs have been DUDS. The need a TRUE #1 and then an offensive upgrade.
Slash $50M, I’m ok with letting the young guys play. Love to see McGreevy, Hence, Mathews,Graceffo all get a shot. Problem is if they have a bad outing back to Memphis you go. Leave them alone!!!! Let them learn the league and how to navigate MLB hitters. Same for the position players!!! If one of the young guys has an 0/22, leave him alone!!!!! I think most fans would love to see these guys grow into great MLB players!
Weird how good the Padres are doing. Wait a minute, thats right. Mike Shildt is their Manager.
The cardinals for the second year in a row have had an entire outfield that doesn't hit very well and until that is addressed other changes won't matter much.
Last I checked, Burleson is our HR leader and was hitting between .270-.280 for most of the season.
The 35 year old pitching staff is what needs addressed (after we fire Mo and Bloom).
JD, you will win a lot of money if you bet on the steelers to win each week.
You will win a lot of money if you bet on the steelers to give up less than 17 points each game.
Good luck on your bets.
Fire Oli??? How many pitches did he throw, how many times did he come up to bat, more importantly how many players did he sign this year? He may not be the best but he is not the cause of the problems the Cardinals have experienced this year. Too many times the GM/Owners just use the Mgr., as a scape goat instead of fixing the real problems. I don't care who manages as long as we win and we can't win with the players we currently have, because they simply did not perform this year. Facts are facts, if you don't believe them just look at the players numbers compared to other teams. Just saying!
If skip shumaker is available they'd b dumb to not fire oli if not the reds or white sox will get him so hopefully we dont miss out hed help things here 4sure !! Go cards
I most usually agree with you and have nothing against Skip. But personally, I think we need a seasoned coach from the outside that's won at this level with no outside interfaces and the players we're currently stuck with under contract to make a difference?
@@robertcrist5747I agree but if not I'd take skip ovr oli he's a former mgr of the yr he has more to offer than oli
You talk about the positives lately but the overall results haven’t been good for two years. If they roll out the same team and manager next year the results will be the same.Go young and bring in better pitching.
Look at all the early season loses that hurt really bad hell thev4 game series against reds andv3 games to the blue jays
Literally sitting next to Lynn. His wife is stunning
Cincy & losing 3out of 4 in ChC. There were winnable gomes in that series.
Oli was bad last year but he is learning. I think the hitting and pitching coach can take a lot of blame plus I am hearing the Cards don't have hitting and pitching labs and such. That is on the front office. Can we do better? Maybe. I think he is like the team - .500
We don’t have the luxury to have a manager learn how to manage. He’s had two years and has learned next to nothing
I just want to ask a question ⁉️ when he say born and raised in the lou do anybody else get chills like I do😂 I'm born and raised in the lou born at Homer g Phillips August 18th 1969. Go Cardinals
First thing I would do is to get a number 2 starter and think it would easer for the team could jell
No firing of Marmol and no Goldy release dear love of God this team is just wanting to be horrible again next year!! I do have one bright note of rumors that Yadi Molina could be the next Skipper YESSSS!!
I wish Molina would be the Skipper and bring back Albert Pujols to be the hitting coach and teach these guys how to hit a baseball!
Why did I just replay why did I just sound like a pirate like 3 times 😂😂😂
Seriously can’t blame managers baseball basketball football is a team game baseball offense score runs pitching post to get 3 outs in the innings football offense score runs defense post to the offense
Mo needs to go with Oli. Mo is the cancer. He thinks he's a winner and a baseball guy. Well since LaRussa left, he hasnt won anything. Mismanaged Pujols deal from start to finish and so many other horrible moves. The Mo and Oli show has got to go!
I don't think oli manages young talent very well. Pitchers can't hold runners close. Teams ran wild on us not always the catchers fault. Blake, ward gone. Oli on the fence in my opinion
More than any other move, I believe the Cardinals need to prioritize player development and the entire coaching organization. Other teams incorporate much more sophisticated coaching and technology-driven player development. The Cards need to modernize in order to get the most out each player and help players reach their potential. Imho
sorry but just the opposite is true ..... too much analytics "technology" is used in StL because Mozeliak insists on it. He fired Shildt because he used Manager's instincts instead of analytics. Marmol cannot effectively do much of anything if it isn't based on analytics.
Don't listen to those green 20-30 year old reports who parrot the wrong message everywhere. Our scouting system under Mo only looks for fastball hitters, but they come up to the team unable to hit off-speed pitches, and are really not good defensive players. The priority in StL, and only priority the day after the season ends, is to fire Mozeliak and Bloom.
I love them both, but Arenado and Goldy are past their prime…. They just are. Time for both to go.
Pitching is king in baseball… you have to focus your minor league system around elite pitching. We haven’t done that.
That being said, Oli isn’t a coach, he’s a yes man for Mo… that won’t get it done
I agree with some other commenters… might be looking at a rough 3 to 5 years ahead. Hope I’m wrong.
Baseball is a besness and so is a consino
dont forget SOX
Hey JD; the Cardinals have a line up that seems to made up of players who are not winning players. Go back to the playoffs against the Phillies. Goldy and Nado did not hit. They may be great players but are they winning players? From what I’ve seen it’s become questionable to me. I’d say Contreras and Winn appear to be winning players. Maybe Donovan too. IDK. Overall I just don’t think the Cardinals are gamers when big games are being played or a regular season game is on the line. The Cards need clutch players who love to be at the plate when there are RISP and/or the game is on the line. You know…WINNING PLAYERS!
Motto: Skip to the LOU
👍 👍
If Ollie stays, I don’t attend or watch a single game next year. He should have never been hired and it’s past time for him to go.
swept by
OMG, really putting all the blame on Oli? He doesn't hit the ball, catch the ball or pitch the ball. So it is his fault these millionaires don't perform? None of you could do anything to these players to make them perform better short of holding a gun to their heads. The team is weak and that's on ownership and Mo. Oh yes, bring in another manager, well people dig up Babe Ruth and bring him in and the team will still be poor performers. You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear!!!
David Bell in St. Louis next year on a bargain contract! I've never wanted dislikes on a post, but I'll take it here.
Get rid of mo
Not oli's fault,he's given the players and they are to perform,not his fault nobody's driving in runs
Isn't it the "Coaches" responsibility to correct fundamental play when it's not being performed on the field? Coaches like Bobby Knight and Whitey could get 110% from average players. I don't see Marmol ever having that knack of "Coaching?"
I don't know. I don't know if its Oli's fault or not, but when an entire group under performs he's the first guy you look at.
Good managers get more out of players, he is inept
@@TaylorMonday-bi3er could be but we're not in the locker room
@@robertcrist5747 yes hitting coach pitching coach they all need to go look at all the players that have gone they are doing better even Carlson
Marmol comes back
I know I won't be there he's stinks Mike should of stayed n marmol should gone I don't care what you think tell me why he deserves another year if your gonna go young go young walker doesn't need to be in the outfield that's for sure he can't judge a ball we can't hit for nothing they couldn't hit a barn if they where in it dewitts need to sell the team to somebody that will invest in the team mo you need to go we need to bring in molina as manager pujols as hitting coach or bring Mcguire back he was good at it another two would good Girardi or showhalter Freddie didn't impress me maybe a number 4 Grey a number 3 bring in burnes n somebody
Else as your number 2 they always talk big names n we never get them we don't Evan get the top tier 2 its always the third tier players or somebody who's about to go to the pasture there's no excuses two years of excuse after excuse if it wasn't for the giveaways you wouldn't have no fans I'm done with this nonsense
I will be there until the very end! And I still love my Cards!!♥️♥️
Ive been a Cardinals fan for about 30 yrs. Joe Torre wasnt here long and we see what he did. Tony took about 10 yrs to win his first WS. I dunno, seems like a revolving door is not the answer. But ive also never won a WS as GM. I want to see Ollie come back. But thats not a popular opinion. Either way, ill be here next yr yellin go cards!! And catchin a game or two at Busch.
Reds fired David Bell who recently signed a 3-year contract extension. Oli can be fired.
Ollie picked his coaching staff
If the players are speaking yp, better believe Im not the only one realizing this!
The buck stops at the top. Shildt had to go for a younger more pliable manager. That is because Mozaliak had to run everything. The Brewers lost supposedly the best manager and their #1 pitcher. Their payroll 50 million less. Oli can only play what he has. I would prefer Schumacher, but don't think he could do much better, with the "Mozaliak Way"
Look up coach Murphy's track record in baseball......He's done nothing but win. We have a guy that was a friend of a friend that will do as He's told that never played a day in the Majors.
To cheap to fire oli
I thought you called them out beautifully with an exceptional rant like a week ago.
Fire Mo before Marmol. Lynn, Gibson, and Carp.... that is all the info i need to fire Mo.
Agree .... the problem in StL is Mo's and Bloom's losing philosophies. The day after the season ends, those 2 must go.
I'm sorry, but Gorman hitting less than .250 is not acceptable. I'm done with the "boom or bust" guys (if you can't hit for average, you get our batting this year: unable to score with runners in scoring position).
I don't need Gorman to hit .300. But hitting 1/4 times, for a guy who was supposed to be a "premiere bat" in our farm, is the lowest I'm willing to move the bar.
If you remember " soft contact" thoughts. With 3 wins out of last 6 at least over 500. But still not good enough to ever get away for that 500 mark. Are we to believe that Goldy & Arenado are on the down hill. That Offense is so bad right now. RISP numbers are horrible. Record breaking at that. When these players sign huge contracts, they wouldn't give back money to sign more players. What do you think about Contreras's contract when he got all that money.
Is the park bad for hitting or for home runs? If the latter then you need more high avg. and high OBP guys with 2-3 home run hitters. Play to the park.
Great insight as always
And i do agree with all that ya said. The problems arent all on Ollie, the play and choices up top have been the driving force
