Bloom wont BOOM
Sorry I believe Bloom won't do anything but change names. no talent improvements just AAA players on the cheap. That's the message DeWitt sent the last 3 seasons, and it will continue just a bunch of hot air to get you to buy season tickets. As long as there's a 3 million draw same old ways it's working. Who hires a GM and makes him wait to learn from the guy he's replacing.

Re: Bloom wont BOOM
I hear you, and you might be right, but I have to wonder if that is truly the plan, why pay the premium for a good executive when any cheap puppet will do? It could be argued that hiring him ahead of time incurred even more cost. I kind of liked the integration period so he didn’t have to jump in blindly and get tied up with so much of everything all at once.Cards20 wrote: ↑15 Dec 2025 13:44 pm Sorry I believe Bloom won't do anything but change names. no talent improvements just AAA players on the cheap.

Not saying you’re wrong, just hoping so. Time will tell and it’s still early, to say the least.

You're certainly entitled to your point of view.

Well, the Cards just ponied up 20 million in the Gray trade purely for the purpose of obtaining higher quality prospects in return.Cards20 wrote: ↑15 Dec 2025 13:44 pm Sorry I believe Bloom won't do anything but change names. no talent improvements just AAA players on the cheap.

Don't recall a lot of that happening under the previous regime, at least not in the 20 million+ range.

It is wintertime, and if you're going to wrap yourself in a conspiracy theory I hope it keeps you warm.

For cards talk being mostly comprised of old people there are sure very short attention spans on here. Needing everything done immediately no patience need something to happen now it’s like a bunch of millennials on here

Awesome. The more you hear it, the more it gets into ya. It’s a classic hidden gem. Doesn’t get the headlines like his 5-10 chart hits. Good for you.

Because Bloom is finished for the season, and he wants to tread water.
Are you drunk?
Re: Bloom wont BOOM
I can't believe the short attention span and lack of patience with some "so called" Cardinal fans.
