Unfortunately, you are probably right. There have been several times when we all thought he has to be fired by some date. MO never does it. MO never will.... Until MO is gone, Olipad is safe.
This team is not going anywhere until they get some decent pitching. The offense has been good enough to be above .500 so far. Obviously, the pitching has killed them. Oli doesn't help, but most of this is on the pitching staff, or lack thereof, and I have been calling for his removal for a long time. Yes, he is pretty poor at utilizing the pitching staff, but he has little to work with. At some point a new manager and pitching coach might get just a wee bit more out of the roster though
Bingo bccf
Mo is Oli's safety net, he knows as long as he never challenged him (ala Shildt), then he'd have job security.
Pitiful way to run a team.
I always ask the Oli defenders one simple question:
"What does he do to HELP the team win a game"?
The answer is nothing!
Poor in game management, no strategic moves from the dugout, horrible lineup construction, terrible bullpen moves, ect.............
The guys the nearest to nothing Manager we've ever seen in St. Louis.
Can't wait to see who C. Bloom brings in.
spot on, bccf and Rock
Not sure who Bloom would go after but they'd have to be an upgrade over this clown.
Amen Rock, but you and I and a whole lot of others have been calling for the change for a long time. Bloom probably has candidates in mind, who knows... I love this team, having been a fan my whole life and really have been following them for over 60 years, through all sorts of ups and downs. I know they will rise again, but not until MO is gone and there is a fresh approach. They are a mid market team. No one expects them to spend like drunken sailors ala NYY and LAD. Fine. But a well run mid market team CAN be competitive. Just not with such incompetence at the helm and mediocrity on the bench in the dugout. A good cook can make a wonderful meal out of a cheaper cut.....
A real long time and sadly BDWjr never heard our pleas.
Instead he left Mo in charge way past his expiration date and the franchise has become a mere shell of it's once great self while attendance is dwindling to late 1970's/early 1980's levels.
Nearly the same time frame here, we survived the 70's as kids so we can get through Mo and Oli's reign of terror too knowing it ends after game 162.

“Reign of Terror”? Oh, please.
Toady Front Office Footstool to the rescue defending his heroes Mo and Oli.

He didn't get fired after a 90 loss season. I'd say it'd take 100 losses and empty seats most of the summer. Even then, this owner doesn't like to hurt anyone's feelings, so who knows?
Not only did he not get fired but he got an extension with a personal guarantee to not feel any pressure to win or be successful
He won’t be gone until Bloom has the reigns
That aways galded my (donkey) "no pressure to win" what the hell? It's competition. There should be pressure to win. That's what it's all about. Mo is a spineless little weasel. I'll be so glad when he is gone.
