This off-season is a chance at redemption for Mo.He got rid of the bad manager.Most of his bad contracts (Carp, Fowler, Miller,Carlos) have expired. He should have 40+ M to spend. Elite prospects (Libby, Gorman and Yepez) should be up. Don't screw this up #STLFLY
@Rinedog1 Strongly disagree about Shildt
@arch_baseball Yet he was 4-9 in the postseason and was a horrendous bullpen manager. We can get someone much better than him.
@Rinedog1 That’s the entitled mentality of a Cardinals fan. We’ve been very fortunate to make the playoffs as many times as we have. It’s not like it’s a cake walk to just win a World Series.
@arch_baseball I know that. But having watched almost every game this year, Shildt made so many mistakes in terms of in game management and never learned from them. He kept making them over and over again.
@Rinedog1 Anyone is going to make mistakes as a manager. Everyone points a finger at Reyes. Are we gonna forget his saves record? Without him closing games, who knows if we make it in. Obviously, Shildt could’ve used Flaherty in that spot. Nitpicking is silly.
@arch_baseball @Rinedog1 I would be interested to know if any player’s had input on decision. Look how fast Ponce was gone after his tiff w/Yadi. If the big boys ain’t happy, no one is. We had the wild card, in extra inning’s I believe we would’ve won. Jack, Dak or Lester should’ve had had the ⚾️ in 9th
@JenluvsTheCards @Rinedog1 Ponce was a terrible player and Yadi has earned the right. It’s not like you’re going to release a hall of famer. I agree about Dak or Flaherty in the ninth though.
@arch_baseball @Rinedog1 No, I agree. I just think Shildt’s non-aggressive approach may not be what our veterans feel is in the best interest of the team. He became unwilling too make needed decisions. I think the La Russa style of managing w/a side of Shildt might be what they’re needing/wanting.
@JenluvsTheCards @Rinedog1 I feel Shildt is aggressive behind closed doors. I remember his speech after we beat Atlanta in the Wild Card game a couple of years back. He’s just not about being all over the media. I see what you’re saying though.
