lol it’s okay your tears will dry
Really? The Cards were better than the Dodgers, competitive with the Phillies, beat the Braves etc with Mr. Mo. The stands were packed and rocking with happy fans! You all wanted to tear that down and bash on it. So where is this better? We will be lucky to not finish behind Pittsburgh right now, especially if you all get your way!
All teams are good until they aren’t the cardinals were then weren’t and needed to be fixed because of the damage mo did in destroying the organization. But don’t worry like I said your tears will dry
Get outta here! Mr. Mo didn't destroy "our" team, he did everything possible to make us competitive! You destroy it with your boycotts and calling for change. Mr. Mo and Mr. DeWitt belong in the Hall of Fame, you loons belong behind the Pirates and Reds, Brewers. You want this enjoy! I will still be the one showing up, will you?
lol if mo was putting a good product on the field fans would have been showing up he wasn’t so they didn’t it’s not difficult to understand. Your tears will dry though dont worry
AHHHAHAHA!!!! When Dustin May dreams of his best MLB career he will be Sonny Grey! When when Chaim Bloom dreams of an Executive career he dreams of Mr. Mo. When you all dream of you're great rebuild you will be the Toronto Blue Jay's. Get real, nothing is promised here. It's baseball, at the highest level. Come bring us an $8.5 BILLION deal for TV. It won't happen because you are not as dedicated as other fans that love their team. Right?

WERE being the key word. I have no doubt John Mozaliak will be a Cardinal Hall of Famer. But the last 8 years has been tough as a fan. They became overly cautious and patient, and have lacked a vision.
I absolutely love the transparency and urgency Bloom is displaying.
and lazy, and arrogant.

I think 2006 and 2011 taught Mo the wrong lessons. You can have a solid team that piles up wins against lesser teams, but you have to have enough elite talent to contend. That with experience helps as well.

In 2006, the Cardinals still had good leftover experience of 2004-2005 and enough elite talent. Yes, they snuck in, but their team was better than their record. They got healthy at the right time.

2011, they were a team with good elite talent that gelled at the right time.

Anyway, the lesson that Mo seemed to take away is build a team that has a decent shot of make the playoffs (and somehow they could magically go on a postseason run).

Arguably the Cardinals in 2019 had a more balanced team than the nationals. But in the playoffs, they were no match for the Nationals. The Nationals could hide their biggest flaw-the bullpen-behind their deep SP. Once they hid that flaw, they were clearly the better team. The Nationals BP outside of their setup and closer were bad. Once they hit the playoffs the could shift some SP resources towards it and had and extra days off the limit their usage.

Anyway, hopefully Bloom understands the difference. To some degree all sports are like this. Nice talent can get you in the door, but elite talent matches with other elite talent.

I agree with everything here but I think a big part of 2006 and 11 was thanks to having Tony LaRussa in the dugout. He put players in a position to succeed.

True. Mo just assumed he could interchange managers too.

Here's a few more.

1. Working instead of hibernating through the winter.
2. Having a plan that isn't half-[ashed].
3. Not looking, speaking, or acting like a jackass.
4. Targeting young prospects instead of old geezers or never has been.

Mo was an idiotic putz.

Bloom is rectifying the MO Rans mistakes! Definitely a positive. To be honest any competent MLB exec hired after MO Ran would/could have implemented many or all of the points contributed.

The acquisitions, to date, are ho hum. May, Fitts, and Clarke are annual members of the MASH unit. MO Ran rumor of extension is definitely NOT a generator of fan enthusiasm. Issues of Donovan, NA, Contreras, Marmot, and over hyping of Herrera and Burleson are not what the organization need. Solid MLB acquisitions to complement Wetherholt is the only positive solution or its business as usual with just different focus.

Skill and will.

It's still the show me state.

1. Calling out errors. The manager and coaches in St Louis were previously in charge of development in the Cardinals minor league system and Bloom is retaining them.

2. Great idea so long as they are good. I'd be inclined to spend on scouts and staff in the Caribbean.

3. Good idea.

4. Dump and rebuild is the opposite of urgency and requires patience.
