Nice to see they're letting Matz blow games in the 9th inning now instead of the 1st

Good managers get their guys to play, especially when they have a solid core. Matheny couldn't have done that in a million years. Saying "Well hey, he had a tough gig so he shouldn't have been fired" doesn't wash - lots of managers have tough gigs and their team doesn't quit on them like Matheny's did. And now Marmol's has. Shildt ALWAYS had his guys fired up to play ball. He was hired by Jocketty and nurtured by LaRussa. He was a guy who knew how to run a ballclub. Matheny was just too ****ing stupid to absorb any information during his apprenticeship in STL and Marmol cut his teeth in an organization that had already lost its way - Shildt simply kept it afloat through sheer competence. Ask Kevin Cash if he feels bad for any of the hurdles faced by Matheny - who inherited a WS champion and drove it into a mountain, or Marmol - who simply never deserved this kind of shot but was still given the keys to a crown jewel franchise. I suspect he does not.

I've never in my life watched a team blow so many games by giving up 2 strike home runs and doubles over and over and over. Its hard to fathom it being this consistent if they were TRYING to do it.

94 mph middle/middle with 2 strikes is...not advised. And it was WALLOPED. I mean no doubt whatsoever. I had it recorded so i went and watched it when I heard and Chip was just apoplectic. You know he's sitting there asking himself why he left Atlanta for this...

You think maybe the STL media is starting to do their job with stuff like this-

Surely they aren't missing the point that badly.
You do not single guys out. You just don't do it. You can absolutely rip 'us' or even 'the team' if you feel so inclined. But you don't name a single guy - AFTER you had a conversation with him in which he left the conversation feeling it was resolved - and call him out. You don't then turn around 3 weeks later and rip ANOTHER guy and then get upper management to back your play. There's a hell of a large distinction between being honest about the team vs. being vindictive with a particular player. I refuse to believe anyone is that dumb.

Mo just needs to trade Masyn Winn for Scott Barlow and the bullpen problems are solved.

And don't get me wrong, Burleson is no sort of star in the making. And he shouldn't even own a glove. But he can hit. I'm 100% convinced that if you gave him 400 ABs he'd be a genuine offensive presence. He's a guy that can hit 5/6 in the order for a good lineup, IMO. And Mozeliak, in desperation, will move guys like him right now to try to save his ass.

The crowd booed them after the last out. This is a great example of how our season is going. Pic taken after yesterdays game.

The 70’s Cardinal teams pissed me off. They lacked leadership, player talent and an involved owner. Starting to look too damn similar.
We have some talent on this years team. Not enough but a helluva lot more than those 70’s teams.

I’ve not read much online. Those that are local or track this disaster are the national writers tearing up the Cardinals?

This looks exactly how the STL Blues began the 2019 season, before they turned into the around and won the Stanley Cup.

Cardinals have been bad all year and guys that were putting up MVP numbers like Gorman are starting to remember they dont actually hit for average and strike out 30%+ of the time. |
