Sure, his stink is still all over this team but Bloom is doing his best to wash that out. I think a lot of people have PTSD from Mos reign of terror whether they know it or not.

I will continue to attend games, just as I’ll always support the Cardinals! That doesn’t mean I agree with everything that the Dewitts are doing, quite the contrary! I’d love to be there opening day, just so they’d know my disdain for how they’ve let things get, but I’ll still be in Florida. Hopefully I’ll see them in Jupiter before they go North! lol!

Im no fan of the Dewitts but to their credit they have finally acknowledged that things need to change even if they are a few years too late. And even though this team is going to lose a lot of games on the field the next couple of years I think am actually more excited about the Cardinals now than I have been in the last 10 years.Hoosier59 wrote: ↑11 Feb 2026 16:00 pm I will continue to attend games, just as I’ll always support the Cardinals!

We'll never know the answer, but I really want to know what finally was the tipping point of allowing Mozeliak to run this thing into the ground and all the penny-pinching, to getting them to agree to eat a SUBSTANTIAL amount of salary in trading Gray, Contreras, and Arenado. What did Bloom do on that front that Mozeliak didn't? Or how did Bloom talk them into it?alw80 wrote: ↑11 Feb 2026 16:04 pmIm no fan of the Dewitts but to their credit they have finally acknowledged that things need to change even if they are a few years too late.

I'm sure attendance last year was part of it but I too would love to know how exactly Bloom got them to see the light.Strummer Jones wrote: ↑11 Feb 2026 16:07 pmWe'll never know the answer, but I really want to know what finally was the tipping point of allowing Mozeliak to run this thing into the ground and all the penny-pinching, to getting them to agree to eat a SUBSTANTIAL amount of salary in trading Gray, Contreras, and Arenado.

Right. Like I didn't really think Bloom would do that BUT one could make the case we are short on vet experience and Mik did eat innings (terribly). It just didn't feel like a complete leap that they would send a very cheap one year offer his way. Glad we are in the clear.Jobu's Rum wrote: ↑11 Feb 2026 15:13 pm

Funny! BUT, if he gets a start vs the Cardinals, he might just toss a 3 hit shutout!.......for 6 innings anyway.

Obviously (to use a Mozeliak phrase) Bloom convinced Jr. that the only way back to relevance and 3 million fans was to tear the whole thing down.Strummer Jones wrote: ↑11 Feb 2026 16:07 pmWe'll never know the answer, but I really want to know what finally was the tipping point of allowing Mozeliak to run this thing into the ground and all the penny-pinching, to getting them to agree to eat a SUBSTANTIAL amount of salary in trading Gray, Contreras, and Arenado.

Mozeliak didn’t really pinch pennies, he just spent stupidly.

I will always go to games but have been reducing them the past few years because I was frustrated the cardinals didn’t have a real direction other than hoping to sustain mediocrity.

I usually go to about 5 games / year - I will start attending again when the tank job is done!BrockFloodMaris wrote: ↑11 Feb 2026 15:32 pmI don’t think attendance is going to crash like some on here do.
