The thing that makes no sense to me is allowing MO to be a lame duck POBO. Bloom should have been calling the shots this year.

+1...allowing Mo-ran to continue is another mistake by the out-of-touch DeTwit. And fans would respond to a change in leadership...I'm part of a season tix group in Section 148 and a lot of fans are anxious to see what Bloom does...the leadership is stale and cowardly...make something [fork]ing happen!60 year Cardinal fan wrote: ↑08 Jul 2025 18:23 pm The thing that makes no sense to me is allowing MO to be a lame duck POBO.

The organization under a MLB POBO is a massive organization that has reaches to all minor league cities as well as an off shore team. Plus all the responsibilities at the major league level, including scouting other teams. It’s a job you don’t just walk into and take over. It takes an in depth transition period to pass the torch to a new boss.
Amazing that you don’t get stuff, Goldfan.

Laroque also retired and the whole minor league development system had to be revamped. That was Bloom’s first order of business. You can actually reason this stuff out for yourself.
Red! What are you doing on CT?

Just had dinner if it is any of your business. You have become a bigger grouch than you used to be. Lighten up a little and don't be so arrogant. And is it any of your business when I'm CT?Cranny wrote: ↑08 Jul 2025 20:06 pmRed! What are you doing on CT?

What the heck are you talking about?

Been obvious for 5-6 years. Mo and DeWitt for whatever reason let the team go. Roster talent is AA level. So is coaching staff. Remember when the middle of the order was extremely talented and they would fill in with mid level talent or veterans that new had to win.

I’ve been saying for months to drop Miles from rotation and insert McGreevy
I’ve been saying for weeks to drop Fedde and find a real arm
I’ve been saying for weeks to find a real OF bat
I said in offseason to trade both Miles and Fedde when teams weren’t looking at their fresh 5ERA’s
And now I’m saying that this Oli MUST be a complete idiot to not reschedule his rotation for Cubbies. As Bernie points out Gray didn’t make one start against Cubs……Fedde/Miles got FOUR. Fireable actions
