Are The St. Louis Cardinals Finally Ready To Make Sweeping Changes?

1. FIRST

2. Hello guys

3. If they’re trying to sell me on Mo fixing this, then no I’m not gonna support a team that is intentionally NOT doing everything that they can to fix this problem. I’ve been a fan since 1968, thick or thin they have been my team. They have been below average for a decade.

4. The big question is what changes in St Louis? Keeping these hitting coaches is insane.

5. Hey brenden the discord link in your description doesnt work

6. Beside the free agents who gets traded or DFA off the 40 man roster

7. 16:36 we have to remember that Mozeliak has truly made a ton of missteps with DeWitt's money..
   had it not been for Jason Heyward not liking Mike Matheny, and thus rejecting Mo's offer
   Mo would've given him one of the worst contracts in STL history.
   The game has passed Mo by, especially the more power/control he gets….

   Also, disappointed that Marmol and his staff will return… as there's always been
   questions about the clubhouse atmosphere… and lack of leadership in general….

8. So Katie Woo says they’re in for an overhaul. That means they’re in for an overhaul. Of course there will be seismic changes, because they have to address infrastructure. They just don’t need to fire a staff they set up to fail.

9. I don’t get why anyone would be mad if they drop payroll. This team can compete. Dropping payroll means giving some of these prospects a good look in the majors. Now will the major league coaching staff help or not is a different question. Hopefully they will. But either way they are getting mlb playing time which is long overdue

10. Isn’t that the guy who holds Bloom’s flowers?

11. Mo has failed, no doubt. And Marol may not be your cup of tea. But this erosion has occured with the DeWitt' family's blessing. Maybe BDW finally realized they 've been throwing good money after bad. Another hale and farewell tour for a retiring Cardinal or a feel good story isn't enough to keep fans coming to the game. Wouldn't surprise me if DeWitt allowed "sources" to speak to Woo for her article as a way to soften the ground for the upcoming press conference and thechanges coming

    .

12. 31:32 Whether it's fair or not, I don't think having Marmol in the dugout
    
    will draw more fans to Busch in 2025…
    
    Fans need (or want)… "a big name draw" or someone they feel familiar with (i.e. a Schumaker)…
    
    I feel like fans feel zero connection to Marmol… he's kind of just "a guy"

    whether that's fair or not…

13. They probably spent $100 million on ballpark village, and now want $500 million to renovate the stadium. Then, we get the revenue flow speech.? They have to know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. ONeill had to be gotten rid of, but Matz was penciled in the rotation? I love Goldschmidt, but last year, i said trade while he has worth. We will get nothing for Goldschmidt now, and got nothing for O'Neill. Most of us knew Mikolas was a big overpay when he first signed it. We got nothing for Dylan Carlson after he was a #1 prospect. Endless mistakes the last 5 years. DeWitt needs to have professional differences and tell Mo to retire now or your fired like Shildt.

14. If they admit fault, be honest, and tell us it’s time to rebuild our beloved team, it’s time for us to be the best fans in baseball again and go support it. Not all will agree but that’s how I feel about it.

15. Never trust an arrogant douche that wears a bow tie. Mozeliak and DeWitt have destroyed the proverbial cash cow. I won’t attend a game as long as Mozeliak or Marmol are around. I don’t care if they win 110 games.

16. Hey, sir, welcome back. And mo is coming back. oli is coming back, and the fans are not coming back. It looks like i will miss a 2nd season of season tickets. And we all know this franchise will not spend money on any top-tier players. You know it, and we all know it great video sir

17. Only if they start by getting rid of Mo, Ollie and most of the major league coaches for starters.

    Put Bloom in charge and have a major shake-up in the front office.
    If they keep Mo and Ollie, there will be no changes, just continued stupidity.

    Trade Mikolas and Matz or put them in the bullpen.

    Say goodbye to Lynn, Goldy and the other older players. Bring on the young players.

    Put Luken Baker at first base/DH and let him play every day. Give this young man a chance to hit 30 to 40 home runs a year!!!

18. MO IS NOT FIXING ANYTHING.

19. THEY NEED TO CHANGE THE MLB COACHING STAFF.

20. Doesn’t seem like necessary changes are to come. Sad face. On the far side of changes I’d rather see: if Chiam doesn’t want Moz’job, give it to Kim Ng. Bottom line, Moz shown the door. Manager one of Francona/Madden or a youngster Bernie likes. On the field; 3B Gorman, with Donnie to rescue if he craters. SS Masyn 2B Wetherholt (same age as Pete Crow-Armstrong). 1B a mush-mash of Wilson/Luken/Burly, C Herrera with Crooks in the mix. Staff Matthews, Gray, Fedde, Pallante and one of Mcgreevy/Matz/stuck with Mikolas. Dreaming for the signing of an ace. Big decisions on Helsley to come. Hoping we can get something for Goldenado. Have a great off season. Hopefully it goes quickly…. But it never does. One more thing:weary of kids coming up raking and then fading. The MLB staff is to blame.
