Mozeliak is on his farewell tour. Rather than fire him Dewitt and co. wanted him to ride off in the sunset. Bloom is not going to rattle that cage in any way until he has the reigns. What he says now could be completely different in 2 months. He will always thank Moz for the training and time spent but if he is going to be judged by results he is going to have his own people in place. You can bet on that.
If you want to bet Marmol won’t be the manager in 2026 I’ll take that action. He will be back.StlMike1969 wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 09:17 amMozeliak is on his farewell tour.

Don’t forget that IF Bloom cans Marmol, the new manager will be a clone of Marmol.Red7 wrote: ↑29 Aug 2025 22:53 pm You guys are expecting major changes in the way the Cardinals operate when Bloom takes over? Bloom will operate much in the same fashion as Mo. The only hope is that he does it better. The industry standard for a manager is to implement the decisions made by a collaborative group headed by the geeks. Bloom wants a manager who will do that AND get along (in other words, acquiese) with the geeks and stand in front of the media and take the hits. That fits Oli to a T. I think it’s 50/50 and I’m leaning towards Bloom will find no reason to make a change.
have you ever seen High Em ?JuanAgosto wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 19:12 pm I would hope Bloom would hire a more competent manager than Oliver Marmol. Sometimes I look at that pud and wonder how he was able to find the field.

He follows a predetermined plan. Isn't smart enough to alter it on the fly.ScotchMIrish wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 20:05 pm One of the biggest things a manger does - some say the biggest - is handling the pitching staff.
Marmol's inability to recognize tired arms and insist on leaving them in games to throw 90 pitches when the team is losing badly should get him fired.
That is correct. I thought I also said that in this post.Bomber1 wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 16:40 pmDon’t forget that IF Bloom cans Marmol, the new manager will be a clone of Marmol.Red7 wrote: ↑29 Aug 2025 22:53 pm You guys are expecting major changes in the way the Cardinals operate when Bloom takes over?

According to you.
