6 edits and your post is still a steaming pile of non sequiturs and incoherent nonsense.Shady wrote: ↑03 Oct 2025 21:09 pm in addition to Pujols for the Angels. Both would have likely taken the Cardinals job had it opened and they were offered. Deciding to keep Marmol is Bloom's first "measuring stick" as a decision-maker. Welcome to the scrutiny Chaim. Maybe this will help motivate Bloom to make some serious personnel moves to help validate his decision to keep Marmol.

They were above .500 nine games. They finished 6 under. Most of that happened after the deadline, and four games to end season.2ninr wrote: ↑04 Oct 2025 06:29 am I guess speculation is what these chat boards are for. I think if the Cardinals wanted Skip they would have hired Skip. So don't lament over his loss. For those wanting Pujols or Molina, not hiring them is a good thing. And no way imo was oli forced on Bloom. For those paying attention, everything points to Marmol and Bloom having a good working relationship. Everything points to the players and coaches having a good working relationship with him. I don't see any reason to deal with the turnover of the manager and coaching staff right now. Neither does Bloom.
I will be interested in seeing Marmol operate under the guidance of someone other than Mo. What the roster looks like on opening day will obviously have a lot to do with the wl record. But will the team fundamentally be better?sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑04 Oct 2025 06:42 amThey were above .500 nine games. They finished 6 under.

We say this team has no star power. Yet they survive at the break even line. Something holds what little together.
Exactly. Will they be fundamentally better. That’s a must from this manager.2ninr wrote: ↑04 Oct 2025 06:51 amI will be interested in seeing Marmol operate under the guidance of someone other than Mo.

Oil and fundamentals don’t go together. He’s had his shot for several years now. How much more of Oli-ball do you want to see?sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑04 Oct 2025 06:53 amExactly.
