OT: OT: Lets Go Cardinals! (All Baseball Talk Here) Part 2

Yea hes getting Shildt'd by Bowtie boy for sure.

Can't have people who call out Mozaliek for being a total failure around

It’s not the worst idea to trade him and let Pages/Herrera play catcher. So unless they want him to DH the whole time, it might not be bad idea depending on return. But yeah Mo definitely isn’t happy about this one lol

Their usage and deployment of Contreras is an embarrassment. The Cardinals organization is a joke. Then again, I am willing to wager that there are other precipitating factors of which we are not aware that compel Mo and Co. to field such a terrible product. Politics.

Gorman was sent to AAA, right? That dude sucks.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Sucks but it’s the right move

Hopefully he finds a role on a quality team that can use him in a great slot and he wins a world series.

So glad we didn't trade Goldschmidt last TDL (2023) for a haul. That woulda been detrimental to our championship push this year. Oh wait.

LOL

President of baseball operations John Mozeliak and manager Oliver Marmol will return for 2025 in their roles, the Cardinals told the Post-Dispatch. Adjustments are planned within the front office and organization to include investment in player development and technology, expanding staff and increased influence for executive Chaim Bloom among other moves. As Mozeliak said in a phone interview Sunday with the Post-Dispatch: “Changes are coming.”
“We’re shifting to a heavy emphasis that puts it back on scouting and player development,” Mozeliak said. “I would say that over the past 10 years or so we’ve run a lean operation, and part of that was to allow us to maximize success at the major-league level. But over time you learn that machine can wear down. It’s just not producing at the level it once did. That’s not to say our minor leagues are in disarray. But an emphasis on infrastructure is something we have been taking a very serious look at.

LOL

Insert eye roll

Exactly. No real change can occur as long as Mo is still in the organization.

Things are going to change. "Trust us."

I will not attend another game until Mozeliak is gone. What we've witnessed is a complete and total organizational failure all because the people at the top are too stubborn to accept that they're not the smartest guys in the room. It started when they fired Shildt who dared to challenge their thought processes.

Pure arrogance lead to the destruction of one of baseball's most iconic franchises and now ownership is going to put their faith in the same people to somehow make the moves that need to be made to alter that course.

This is where teams end up in the basement for a decade or more. Somebody wake me up when they do what everyone knows they need to do.
