Do you think McEwing was a bigger problem than Marmol?JuanAgosto wrote: ↑24 Oct 2025 12:52 pm Not sure what McEwing provided. Bloom needs to continue cleaning. John Mozeliak left quite a mess.
I don't think so. Im not even sure what McEwing did. I will give Marmol a chance to prove himself without Mozeliak being in the picture.ScotchMIrish wrote: ↑25 Oct 2025 09:18 amDo you think McEwing was a bigger problem than Marmol?JuanAgosto wrote: ↑24 Oct 2025 12:52 pm Not sure what McEwing provided.

If Marmol was a big problem, he’d be gone by now.ScotchMIrish wrote: ↑25 Oct 2025 09:18 amDo you think McEwing was a bigger problem than Marmol?JuanAgosto wrote: ↑24 Oct 2025 12:52 pm Not sure what McEwing provided. Bloom needs to continue cleaning. John Mozeliak left quite a mess.
Ordinarily wins and losses determine how good a manager is. Was the roster that bad two of the last three seasons?ecleme22 wrote: ↑25 Oct 2025 18:30 pmIf Marmol was a big problem, he’d be gone by now.ScotchMIrish wrote: ↑25 Oct 2025 09:18 amDo you think McEwing was a bigger problem than Marmol?JuanAgosto wrote: ↑24 Oct 2025 12:52 pm Not sure what McEwing provided.

The 2025 team was 6 games under .500 and 19 games out of first place. The question regarding Marmol is what role he played in the failure. Given that Matheny was fired after never having a losing season tells me ownership has lowered standards.ecleme22 wrote: ↑25 Oct 2025 21:18 pmPythagorean….ScotchMIrish wrote: ↑25 Oct 2025 20:51 pmOrdinarily wins and losses determine how good a manager is.

2023:
Cards record: 71-91
Pyth: 71-91
2024
CR: 83-79
P: 76-86
2025:
CR: 78-84
P: 74-88
The last two seasons, the cards have overachieved.
You really think the the 2025 team was good. They weren’t great in 2024, lost two pitchers, gained only Maton
The first move of the Bloom era was keeping Marmol. That much should be clear, right?ScotchMIrish wrote: ↑24 Oct 2025 12:18 pm https://x.com/Feinsand/status/1979198126574522710
Joe McEwing is out.
