I'm with you. The model changed in the '10's, they can't keep up with the big dollar teams, and they haven't tried to out-perform the smaller-market teams. A very uninspiring product on the field. Maybe Bloom can improve it, or maybe he's hamstrung by Owner-imposed budgets.Othawhitemeat wrote: ↑31 Jul 2025 21:01 pmI would like it if Dimwitt sold the team. Took the fans for granted and not super motivated to win.

DeWitt's biggest mistake is about to leave. Hopefully, Bloom earns enough trust to convince BDW to spend some $.

Who is paying $400 to see a minor league game?!Braund241 wrote: ↑31 Jul 2025 21:04 pmNot sure it’s currently a popular product. People don’t want to spend 400 dollars to see minor league baseball45s wrote: ↑31 Jul 2025 20:40 pmCan you walk us through why dewitt should sell please..
He is selling a popular product..
He has virtually no competition for the sports entertainment dollar..
He has a very soft local sports media
And he has successful associated businesses such as the village.
It’s a virtual cash cow……he didn’t become a billionaire by selling cash cows…


Re: It is time for new ownership,
Yes……
Who buys something and doesn’t invest in it to make it better(more profitable)? It’s like buying the millennium hotel now and being like “yeah it’s good”
You would be an absolutely awful business man….
Re: It is time for new ownership,
I worry we underestimate what BPV generates for the old man. Him and his little boy have been waaaaaaayyyyy too arrogant and unfazed by the attendance issues these last few years. Almost as if they are rolling in it with or without fans in the stands.JuanAgosto wrote: ↑31 Jul 2025 21:10 pm DeWitt's biggest mistake is about to leave.

That, of course, is for the owner and any prospective buyers to decide and not octogenarians who have become cynical of the process.

Re: It is time for new ownership,
Getting a new owner might be the the answer but would they keep them in St.Louis.St.louis has a problem nationally that downtown is not safe.The crime problem is overblown but the perception is there nationally.
