After 3 awful years now the cards want to rebuild lol

[OldRed]

The incompetence of this ownership is very scary

You mean the same ownership that accomplished the following:
29 years
2 World Championships
4 Pennants
12 NL Central titles
16 playoff appearances
.544 winning percentage, 4th in baseball, 2nd in the NL
From 2000-2025, only two losing seasons

That ownership? I would say they have done pretty well. They built it once, I believe they are putting things together to do so again.

Are you a Cranny sock?

He’s not a sock. He’s a rational poster who lays out the facts. Factually sending a message to the entitlement crowd.

You seem to be in a very bad mood lately. Jumping on anyone who doesn't agree with you. At your age you need to lighten up, just a little. I'm not telling you how to post, I've just seen a huge change in how you are posting. Also, I'm not a doctor, don't play one on TV and didn't stay in a Holiday Inn last night.

Don’t you think this stat sheet to be skewed heavily towards the past.

Tell me the team stat since 2013, out last WS appearance.

How come having a positive attitude makes you a "sock"? I don't get it.......why the need to be so glum? The key to happiness in life is the ability to be thankful for what you have as opposed to (bleep) about what you don't have! It's a fact Jack!

The decline started in 2022 when Oli took over managing. He has had the worst win/loss (325 - 323) .502 than any manager since TLR took over and his was .544. The trended when Shildt left and he was (252 - 199) .559 winning %.

So, if I don't like a poster calling another poster a "Cranny sock" it means I'm in a bad mood, Red? LOL. And I need to "lighten up"? Double LOL. You have your priorities upside down. Why don't you talk baseball, instead of making a comment about another poster? Display your deep knowledge about baseball in general, and specifically the Cardinals.

I hear ya. So is mine. It seems lacking past 12 years. Don’t you think that’s not optimal. Now add several more years of discontent during rebuild, and soon we sit at 15 years plus minus a WS appearance. That’s franchise record territory. Under this ownership.

Someone quoting from the admittedly impressive pre-2013 hymnal might nonetheless do well to recall the text of mutual fund disclaimers:

Past performance is not indicative of future results,
as changing market conditions, manager skill sets and fund strategies all have to adapt to keep pace with the changing environment; a lack of which does seem to aptly describe a good chunk of the last dozen years at 700 Clark Ave.

And the out of hand FA salaries haven't changed during that period of time? With the big market teams going bananas with huge long term contracts? Duh.

Okay, what do you think about Richard Fitts? Please include major league stats, minor league stats, and scouting reports.
Thanks in advance.

As expected, you either don't get, or (more likely) are purposely bypassing the point.

Also, the Milwaukee Brewers are on line 1 for you...

Brewers did very well. I hope we do very well again - and soon. We have a whole new regime and outlook. It's refreshing.

Good post. Brewers have a good model that seems to work. We need help, and the new regime is indeed refreshing.

We'll see...fortunately the bar was set very low with Mo-ran...he (bleep) this franchise the last few years and most of the front office (donkey) kissers are finally realizing how incompetent he was...
