There was no effort, trust me.
Even worse in person.

Did you watch the 9th inning ? The 'effort ' isn't lacking IMO. What's lacking is the 'ability' to perform well. The team tries, they just cannot execute due to inferior ability.

tommydin wrote: ↑03 Aug 2025 20:12 pm This team is pathetic. They no starting pitching and basically no offense. In early July they had a 52 inning scoreless streak. And gong to the 5 th inning today , they had scored 1 run in 33 innings.
Gorman, Nootbarr, Scott, and Arenoda can’t hit. Walker is close to them. In today’s game through 8 innings they had struck out 15 times , including 4 innings where all 3 outs were strikeouts. They didn’t do much at the trade deadline because what do they have to offer(pitchers with ERA’s over 4 and over 5.
In other words, Turn out the lights , the.party is over!

That Nootbarr just isn’t a good hitter.

I felt the effort for the first 8 was pathetic.

Oli isn't a motivator, he won't right this sinking ship.

Going to be a sorry last two months.

But the good news is Mo is gone and they better send Oli w/him.

TRUE CHANGE can only happen if both are GONE!

I had some interest in seeing if oli could/would change as a manager without Mozeliak's influence. But at this point, it is becoming obvious he isn't the guy.

For sure Bad, been pointing that out in my OP ("BDWJR is the real problem") for years hoping he'd sell the team.

He's why I think fans are going to be disappointed in Bloom. Maybe I don't get it because I'm not a billionaire but why own a sports team if you don't try to win? There are other ways to make money. And while you may own a team that team has a city/state attached to its name. Wouldn't you feel some obligation to the fans of that city/state to try to put a winning product on the field?

My hope is Bloom wouldn't have taken the job (he had options) unless he received some kind of a commitment from Dewitt that he wasn't walking into another Boston massacre!

I'm staying positive that new blood will bring a whole new look Cardinals!

That's actually a good point. He's had plenty of time to observe.
