Oli gets 2 more years lol

[Ozziesfan41]

Mo must've taught oli how to keep a job despite producing pitiful results. Or he passed some DeWitt blackmail to Lil oli before he left.

I know I’m impressed with his results players continue to play just as poor fundamental baseball several years after coming up as they did when they first came up. For a manager to be able to get that level of consistent poor play out of them is impressive

Why would people think the manager gives hitting and fielding instructions?

He is responsible for his coaching staff. And his coaches provide hitting and fielding instruction. He is their boss. The buck stops there. Apparently you don't know much about management and its responsibilities

My manager never coached me on welding because he didn’t know how.
Did Marmol pick his own staff? I’m not sure on that one.
It’s clear you don’t like Marmol. Everything he does is wrong in your opinion.

According to Larussa managers run the practices is supposed to observe deficiencies and instruct the coaches on what to focus on. If his coaches aren’t doing their jobs he should tell bloom and get them gone but he has praised his coaching staff and kept them so apparently he thinks they are doing a good job at continuing the poor fundamental play of the team. When you’re the general running things you can’t say oh well the people under me aren’t doing their jobs nothing I can do about them nope his job is to get them to do their jobs and if they can’t or won’t tell bloom so he can find someone who can. A rebuild isn’t going to work with poor coaches and managers who don’t take responsibility

And what is fundamentally bad as compared to 5, 10 or 15 years ago?

Players not improving base running blunders poor situational hitting throwing to the wrong bases not hitting cut off men just some of the worst fundamental play I’ve seen on cardinal teams in a while. Which with young players it’s not surprising but when you have players that have been in the majors for years and haven’t shown any significant improvements in the basic fundamentals then it’s a problem. But hey if you watch the cardinals games and thinks they are good at the fundamentals then hey good for you if you think that’s quality play that will lead to success

lol. I haven’t seen any more of that than I’ve seen in other years.
I think it’s a matter if they do it once, they do it all the time.
I won’t labor the point with you on it, though.
Any player that makes it to AA or AAA should know the fundamentals. They don’t get taught in the majors.

lol well why do they have coaches in the major leagues if they don’t need to be taught and learn in the major leagues? Why is Jon jay on the team helping the outfielders if they don’t get taught in the major leagues? And should doesn’t mean they do know the fundamentals. If you watched the team last year and thought they were a good fundamentally sound team then man you only watch bad teams. Any manager or coach will tell you they teach in the major leagues. The only idiot manager who ever said different was Matheny

It's clearly not about baseball.

It must have grabbed your attention since you bothered to reply. And who said anything about a beauty pageant? I just want a manager that doesn't look constantly confused.
