It's time to admit

[shebashab]

I admitted that in April.

I did also, but it was so difficult for some to see it as it really would be.

I dont think many thought we were going to win anything with the current team. It's like if anyone on this board is pleasantly surprised by the talent and enjoys them everyone assumes that means they think we will win it all. You can enjoy progress without thinking we can win the WS

You can enjoy progress without winning a WS. Now there’s a thought. Bravo.

This team was 2 out and split the Cubs at home. They need some help and an actual talented POBO/GM who really want to WIN would and should be working on improving this team. Things can change in an instant in Pro sports with the right moves……this org has been unwilling, too stupid, scared, whatever…..Mo is as good as gone so Bloom need to take charge and prove himself

Yes, it's horse manure reading your continuous negative dribble. It never changes. It just dribbles over and over and over again - day after day. No substance.

I'll put my post up against yours any day of the week for "substance".

You know very little about baseball and are ONLY here to defend BDWjr and Mo.

You're a toady front office footstool they rest their feet on.

I believe I know a little about baseball, rock, and maybe as much as you (after playing high school, college, and semi-pro ball). And I’m sure I know more about the Cardinals system because I have a passion for following our minor leaguers, every year for the past 20+ years.

Sans semi-pro ball I can match that.

No way you know more about the Cardinals and baseball than I do, of this I'm sure.

I'll give you the minor league system since that's not where my passion for baseball lies and why I appreciate a guy like 'duce who educates me w/his minor league reports.

And as a season ticket holder for over a decade I'd bet I attend more games in a homestand than you attend all season meaning my FEEDBACK is both warranted if critical and earned.

Only thing I’m missing here is my popcorn and coke.

Didn’t say I knew more about the Cardinals and baseball than you. I said perhaps just as much.

I check the minor league scores everyday because I know that the majority of the future lineup and pitching staff is going to have to come from within.

To be very honest we knew coming out of Spring Training this ball club was offensively weak. The hope was pitching would save the day. They have not. Just exactly the team that was gathered in Florida.

It is not the roster.
It is the leadership.
Super Slo Mo and The Marmot have made some very stupid decisions.

Disagree, it is the roster and lack of talent.

It is both - the Cardinals' roster should have been more talented, but Mo made some very poor decisions.

Just imagine if the Cardinals would not have:

traded Sandy Alcantara, Zac Gallen and Mags Sierra to Miami before the 2018 season.
sold Adolis Garcia to Texas before the 2020 season.
traded Randy Arozarena to Tampa Bay before the 2020 season.
traded Lane Thomas to Washington during the 2021 season.

The lineup in '22 could have looked something like this:
ss - Edman 13 HR/57 RBI
lf - Arozarena 20 HR/89 RBI
3b - Arenado 30 HR/103 RBI
1b - Goldschmidt 35 HR/115 RBI
rf - Garcia 27 HR/101 RBI
dh - Pujols 24 HR/68 RBI
cf - Thomas 17 HR/52 RBI
2b - Gorman 14 HR/35 RBI or Donovan 5 HR/45 RBI
c - Molina 5 HR/24 RBI

starting pitching:
Alcantara - 2.28 ERA/14-9/Cy Young award
Gallen - 2.54 ERA/12-4
Wainwright 3.71 ERA/11-12
Montgomery 3.48 ERA/9-6
Mikolas 3.29 ERA/12-13

stats are from '22 with respective teams

Interesting thread...fans are frustrated and just want to express their disappointment...too bad it looks like another thread highjacked by front office sycophants.

Not hijacked at all. They are losing as usual.

Well....the same sycophants seem to appear on any thread that is critical of DeTwit and Mo-ran. They are harmless and probably need some sort of attention.
