Managers don’t make much of a difference during the regular season a good team can overcome a bad manager over the course of 162 but they can’t make up for bad managing in the post season. And why would you say fans chased shildt out of town lol that’s dumb Mo chased Schildt out of town then said winning isn’t the most important thing that showed when he hired oli

1. Isn't it possible to be unhappy with the record or the direction of the franchise and NOT be a hater?

2. Well, this is St Louis, not Pittsburgh. The standards are higher here.

3. Maybe not a disaster, but our last playoff series win was 2019. Isn't it possible that fans are hungry for success again?
Isn't it possible you don't really care?

Folks who hold the team accountable and have higher standards care MORE than myopic apologists, not the other way around.

Looks like it's not just Cardinals fans with difficulties in accepting that this team might be good, might be nation wide.

In the current MLB.com power rankings, the 8 game winning streak is mentioned, so it's verified as up to date.
Cubs are 5th, Cardinals are 17th, even though Cardinals are only one game back in the standings.

actually this board was all over shildt basically calling him a horrible manager etc much like they do with oli...always interesting how managers get better when they have great layers ...if oli managed the dodgers they would win 100 games
