Let’s take this back to the beginning…..which adds to the confusion.
Schildty worked in the Cards org for close to 20yrs??? If he was such a loose cannon temper threat don’t you think his butt would’ve been canned WAY before in lesser positions? BDW/MO and those below knew this guy for decades and not only didn’t warn of this behavior they MADE HIM CARDINALS MANAGER. How is this possible……Mr. Hyde didn’t show his face until he wore a ML managers cap?
You think maybe the stress of managing a major league team might be a little higher than coaching and managing minor leagues? Just a theory.
If you’re a lunatic with an out of control temper someone is going to see it in 20yrs in minors…..
Maybe it doesn’t show up until you’re the field boss at the highest level. Power can corrupt.

Thread is just a runaway train full of assumptions.
Two facts. When he got mad at umpires and got on their face
shrieking F bombs, it wasn’t good. Had a hair trigger for anger. And the clubhouse video that was leaked showed a whole different side of him.
My thoughts exactly. He actually believes it’s uncommon(and possibly even demonic) for pro athletes/coaches(aka a group of dudes) to use swear words.
It wasn’t so much the swear words, as it was the
hair trigger violent anger he displayed.
For which your evidence is he yelled at and argued with umpires . . .

Yes, and so angry at times when he was ejected that he was almost out of control. It's really too bad.

Shildt had 19 ejections in 775 total games managed. That’s slightly less than 4 per season, hardly an outlier number. And relatively placid compared with Marmol’s 21 ejections in 648 games (5.3 per season). Care to give us your clinical evaluation of Marmol while you’re at it? I guess Bobby Cox (5.8 per season) and Aaron Boone (6.2 per season) should be committed.

from the San Diego paper:
"His .561 winning percentage is seventh-best among men whose managerial careers extended past 1951. His teams went to the playoffs in all five of the full seasons he managed.
When his 2019 team advanced to the National League Championship Series, it ended the Cardinals’ three-year postseason drought. The Cardinals made the postseason the year after his departure, but have missed the playoffs each of the past three seasons."

Marmol's ejections often benefit the Cardinals chances. Shildt's elections were entertaining because he'd get so (upset). Chicken arms flailing, cheeks puffed out and red. You know that guy was spitting his tobacco all over the ump!

The Marmot gets ejected for performance theatre.
There is nothing genuine when he gets tossed.
He does it for the camera - nothing else.
No umpire takes him seriously, as is obvious to anyone who watches the games.

Sure I did. And it didn’t matter how many time Shildt got ejected vs. others, it was the rage and fury of his anger.

That’s ridiculous. Challenging the umpire to a fight?
I’m surprised he wasn’t fined and suspended for several games.
