lol you’re the one who claimed to be wise and have some grand wise perspective because you’re old so yea you pretty much said your credentials are you’re oldCranny wrote: ↑10 Oct 2025 11:24 amI have never claimed to have any credentials.

I agree with you, pretty simple to rationalize to me. Why should we as fans be expected to love a GM or POBO when the previous one and owner did seemingly everything in their power to bury the franchise? Seems like a true fan would want their loyalty earned by any new GM or regime. The previous POBO took a great franchise and took it to a totally bare farm system in addtion to a (bleep) product on the field.

If he performs, turns this train wreck around, and brings St. Louis PS baseball he’ll be loved and revered
If he continues the obviously idiotic, backwards, lying, non-winning, ways we’ve watched the last decade or so then he deserves full blast
I guess some of you think MO was just doing everything possible to bring the best talent to Busch, made talent acquisitions every year to fill needs when the team had a chance at the PS, and conveyed clear messages to the fan base that the ONLY thing he lived and breathed was ensuring winning baseball was played on the Busch stadium field……
If that was the case why is this organization positioned at the bottom quartile of the league when he leaves
So all the “whining, crying ,name calling ,or whatever” that was thrown MO’s way was 99% deserved.
These front office (donkey) kissers wouldn't last one moment in the Philly or New York markets where the standards and expectations are high every year.
This notion of giving a prime age athlete player 3,4,5 years to somehow morph into an above average player let alone expecting this to happen with half a team is some of the most goofy chit I’ve seen
And if you could get me a role in the organization I loved, cheered, rooted, promoted, stood by, monetarily supported, raised children to be fans, and has been a major portion of my sports life since birth as my grandfather ALWAYS had KMOX on the kitchen radio…….
I’ll work below market value in that position because I have a knack for spotting talent and posers…..something the last FO was void of
How many teams (and at what level) have you coached or managed? How many teams (and at what level) have you been the GM or POBO of?
Actually, I've never claimed that at all, Ozzies.

I do have a little baseball experience as a high school, college, and semi-pro pitcher, but have never claimed that gave me better insight than any others on here.
I actually said that I have more experience than many because of my age.

Again you consider age to be your credentials and age for a lot of older people only serves to convince them that they’re right about everything because of their age and it really doesn’t make them right about anything it’s just their opinionsCranny wrote: ↑10 Oct 2025 16:46 pmI actually said that I have more experience than many because of my age.

Like writing a paper that sent a chill that ran up MO’s leg then handed the GM position of The Stl Cardinals Baseball Team??
Like have no managing experience in Pro Baseball except for a rookie league team than handed the Manager position of The Stl Cardinals Baseball Team?
Like being the Nepo baby of a Billionare owner and handed the President position of Stl Cardinals Baseball Team?
Like being the pitching Coach of the Duke Blue Devils(COLLEGE) and handed the pitching coach of The Stl Cardinals Baseball Team?
Like that?????

I agree with you, pretty simple to rationalize to me. Why should we as fans be expected to love a GM or POBO when the previous one and owner did seemingly everything in their power to bury the franchise? Seems like a true fan would want their loyalty earned by any new GM or regime. The previous POBO took a great franchise and took it to a totally bare farm system in addtion to a (bleep) product on the field. On top of that he hired 3 inexperienced managers that has taken us lower and lower down the standings each year.Goldfan wrote: ↑08 Oct 2025 18:12 pm Not sure where the confusion lies???
If he performs, turns this train wreck around, and brings St. Louis PS baseball he’ll be loved and revered

I guess some of you think MO was just doing everything possible to bring the best talent to Busch, made talent acquisitions every year to fill needs when the team had a chance at the PS, and conveyed clear messages to the fan base that the ONLY thing he lived and breathed was ensuring winning baseball was played on the Busch stadium field……
If that was the case why is this organization positioned at the bottom quartile of the league when he leaves
So all the “whining, crying ,name calling ,or whatever” that was thrown MO’s way was 99% deserved.
These front office (donkey) kissers wouldn't last one moment in the Philly or New York markets where the standards and expectations are high every year.
This notion of giving a prime age athlete player 3,4,5 years to somehow morph into an above average player let alone expecting this to happen with half a team is some of the most goofy chit I’ve seen
And if you could get me a role in the organization I loved, cheered, rooted, promoted, stood by, monetarily supported, raised children to be fans, and has been a major portion of my sports life since birth as my grandfather ALWAYS had KMOX on the kitchen radio…….
I’ll work below market value in that position because I have a knack for spotting talent and posers…..something the last FO was void of
How many teams (and at what level) have you coached or managed? How many teams (and at what level) have you been the GM or POBO of?
Like writing a paper that sent a chill that ran up MO’s leg then handed the GM position of The Stl Cardinals Baseball Team??
Like have no managing experience in Pro Baseball except for a rookie league team than handed the Manager position of The Stl Cardinals Baseball Team?
Like being the Nepo baby of a Billionare owner and handed the President position of Stl Cardinals Baseball Team?
Like being the pitching Coach of the Duke Blue Devils(COLLEGE) and handed the pitching coach of The Stl Cardinals Baseball Team?
Like that?????

Don’t extend Carp
Don’t hire Oli
TO, Bader, DeJong are not keepers
Andrew Miller is toast
After getting to watch Goldy and NA on daily basis….conclude they are not Winners or Leaders….and they’ve said so themselves they weren’t leaders
Before Gray put a Cards uni I said there was something off about him not staying in games during the middle of season. Turns out he has a sweating issue.
Said no to sign WC and spend money on pitching
Pointed out that Gorman and Walker consistently pull of pitches…..well before it was commented on or noticed by Jim Edmonds or on CT
The list can go on and you were there with Cards colored glasses reading and denying all that was written…..
I wrote when JJ got to AAA that the kid is a natural hitter. So save this when you’re asking next time

And once he had unquestioned control the team went into a steady spiral with a few exceptions.Goldfan wrote: ↑10 Oct 2025 17:31 pm Johnny MO’s credentials
In 1993, Jay Darnell, the Colorado Rockies' video coordinator, introduced Mozeliak to Bryn Smith, pitcher for the Rockies. Smith was looking for a location to go fly fishing. A few days after Mozeliak took Smith fly fishing, the Rockies invited Mozeliak to serve as a batting practice pitcher, since they needed someone who could throw left handed. Dante Bichette took a liking to Mozeliak, and they created a clubhouse job for Mozeliak. He began to work with Bob Gebhard, the Rockies' general manager (GM), and Walt Jocketty, the assistant GM.
His claim to fame was helping draft Albert Pujols in the 13th round 402nd pick out of a JUCO in KC where he was putting up crazy numbers
So basically a lucky throw away pick on an in state prospect putting up large JUCO numbers……
So MO’s credentials….taking Bryn Smith fly fishing and getting lucky picking AP……major Cred
