I still don't like how Oli handles certain players and his undying loyalty to certain JAGs (cough cough BurlyPages)... but he's a fine tactician and his bullpen management is actually good.
It's the team's bullpen and defense that has this team as good as they are with a terrible offense and starting rotation. Those are directly related to a manager and coaching staff.

Re: Bloom's managerial decision
It WOULD be interesting to see how Marmol would do with a very competent starting pitching staff. With quality and depth.

On the the other hand. Even a great manager would have some difficulty winning big with an incompetent starting pitching staff, overall.
Re: Bloom's managerial decision
Read an article on Bloom in St. Louis paper outlining how during the year Bloom has had contact with Marmol on an ongoing basis .
So Bloom should have a very good ideas whether Marmol is his manager moving forward . Have not read any indication one way or the other as to Bloom's evaluation of Marmol as manager.
Guess we will know about a month from now. Until then I am sure the media will do some speculation as well as fans too.

Whoever it is in 2026 should also be who they plan to have around for 2027+ (right?). So it's a big decision coming here.ramfandan wrote: ↑05 Sep 2025 10:27 am Read an article on Bloom in St. Louis paper outlining how during the year Bloom has had contact with Marmol on an ongoing basis .
