Molina

[hugeCardfan]

He’s had managerial experience at WBC level as well as winter league. He was often called upon for advice by St Louis. If Oli is to stay, perhaps Yadi could take #2 position with a promotion planned in ‘27 (or earlier) if necessary. I’d buy into that plan.

I doubt Molina would

[Dicktar2023]

The situation with Molina and the Cardinals is bizarre, so it's hard to say what's going to happen. But he has not exactly seemed excited to be just an advisor.

This does bring up a question: in light of Bloom keeping Marmol, wtf was up with Molina's "guest coaching" last month? It seemed strange at the time, in retrospect, even weirder.

Probably not a good PR move. It would invite immediate controversy and put the lame duck in the shadow of the swan.

If they lose it’s Oli’s fault. If they start winning it’s because of Molina. No win situation for Marmol. But he kind of sucks anyway so who cares?

If Yadi can help, or anyone else for that matter, bring them in. Marmol should’ve been replaced anyway.

Put the lame duck in the shadow of the Swan. Nice. Original?

Chances are the shadow was already there.

[suzybuck]

Cardinals will waste yet another opportunity and Yadi will sign with another team as manager. Book it.

[rockondlouie]

Asking Yadi to take the #2 slot behind Oli?

Yadi has more baseball acumen in his little finger than Oli has in his entire body.

Haha…yeah, original musing, as far as I know anyway. I was a journalist in the military so trained in the art of metaphors and [nonsense] Lol! JK about the [nonsense]…many thought we were always lying, spinning, or “hiding something” every time we’d do a story or press release! We’d get some interesting calls about our content…and aliens. Lots of calls about aliens. Interesting job, to say the least.

Thanx for ur service. 30 years for me. Don’t you think just one of those alien sightings was the real deal. I mean, simple matter of attrition.

Thank you as well, you did a lot more than me! I just did two enlistments. As far as the alien stuff….maybe? Lol, but we didn’t know anything about it in the newsroom anyway.

I know a journalist in Columbia, MO who was a journalist in the reserves. He was activated 5 times in 7 years. Very tough on his family and career with the local paper.

When and where did Yadi manage in the Winter League?

He's just done Puerto Rico (bleep).

You can post on the interwebs, but are incapable of a simple search? Takes a few seconds...(bleep).

“He reached out to (president of baseball operations and John Mozeliak) and me, asking what we thought about him being in uniform,” Marmol told The Athletic. "‘My response was an easy one: Absolutely.”

"Anytime you get the chance to have someone like Yadi around your players, you take it,” Marmol said. “It’s a no-brainer. The experience, the leadership, the presence he brings—it impacts everyone."

[moose-and-squirrel]

he'd actually have to want to show up, and he hasn't shown that inclination much

[jcgmoi]

wtf was up with Molina's "guest coaching" last month?

Celebrity slot. PR move. Sop to the bfibs. Distraction from the season's woes.

I got more.

That could actually be a problem Lol!
