Marmol should be fired

[Futuregm2]

Bases loaded, down by 2 in the 8th. LHP on the mound. And you let a hitter hit that has a career .205/.244/.283 line vs LHP.

I guess you go to Walker to force the Mets hand??
Walker not exactly killing it!
I think Oli needs to take the George Costanza approach?
Think of what to say or do and then say or do the opposite???

Monster walked the righties...so yeah, I'd go JW. Bumbles sucks. Swings first pitch after a couple of walks

Of course. Burleson has sucked. Walker not much better but leaving Burleson to face a LHP when he has a career .244 OBP vs LHP might be the stupidest move ever by a manager in a 2-0 game.

[Ozziesfan41]

More awful managing by oli

[11WSChamps]

Frankly I would have gone Pages.

Probably not an ideal catchup but the guy has a knack for getting a big hit.

Hitting .400 with risp.

Just about anyone would be better. I wonder what in his pad told him burly was a good idea to hit there

Now now. Just a few thousand more ABs in the middle of the order and Oli will get Burly right.

Tries to pull an outside pitch.
Weak grounder.
Wash rinse repeat.

I know the Cards need to improve talent to be a serious contender.
However.....if you can’t see that he is in over his head then I give up!
Serious question- what positive quality does Marmol bring to this team??

awful is what he does

he has awful down pat

[gpeeps22]

Marmol stinks at managing. He is the sole reason cardinals
Lost 2 games to the angels and one of the games against the Pirates. But tonight was an offensive disaster and a master class in failing with RISP. Personally, I wouldn’t put this one on him.

Yeah, and I get that there are some things like youth and inexperience that account for some things like a team struggling on the road and all. But then there's moves that are done that are just flush rinse and repeat and have constant heads knocking on the wall that our managers just keep doing even though they have a zero % success rate. Feel like our managers just keep doing the latter.

On the one hand it's only April, and baseball can certainly be a streaky sport. But gonna have to lower expectations again for this year I think because the overall pattern is still one step forward with two steps back.

Well, fire Marmol now .... yeah we'll all feel better for a while but it won't change anything as far as our season goes. But if we finish with a losing record and have little or no road series wins, he definitely has to go then because we can't afford to keep having these crazy what if games at the rate that we are.

There could be a thread with this title after every single game!

I’d love a mid season Mo and Marmol firing but it’s not happening. Just hope this offseason it comes to fruition
