They can’t be worse than Marmol.

I wish he'd go for a Sunday drive with Josh Hancock.

Did players develop under him? Did the clubhouse pull on the same side of the rope? Were tactical decisions made that helped the club? A Labrador Retriever and a random number generator wouldn't have been any worse. Any better? Oh hell, who knows? But Oliver Marmol didn't do a single thing adequately last season. He didn't handle his staff, his clubhouse, external pressures, internal strife, his bench, his starting 9....nothing...with any aplomb. I mean I guess Albert Pujols could show up and decide that Goldschmidt should be pitching and Contreras should be playing shortstop but that strikes me as unlikely. Given the range of reasonable outcomes, i think it's fair to say that no - there is no chance at all that either of those guys could be WORSE than Oliver Marmol. Because Marmol did absolutely nothing to help this team win ballgames last season.

Cutting Mike Shildt off at the knees, a career Cardinal but bookish minor league nerd, ruffled feathers but not enough to effectuate meaningful change. Now ask yourself if John Mozeliak, who got booed at Busch Stadium, is gonna walk away intact from a power struggle with Yadier Molina? I suspect not. The problem is that he knows it. And that's why Oliver Marmol has a contract extension. He NEEDS Marmol to work for at least long enough to finagle one last contract extension of his own. And once that happens, he can go ahead and install Molina if he wants. Because if it fails - who cares? He's on his way out anyway. This is all one last gasp by Mozliak to get one more 4 year extension and ride that into the sunset.

Oh I don't think it's gonna work.
It's just what he's trying to pull off.

The ownership group think he's doing a great job...

Yeah. Well. Just wait until they get the attendance figures this season.
They can lie to the public and hide behind empty seats that were 'sold' to groups with sponsorship tie-ins all they want. Behind the scenes, they know exactly what's real and what isn't. And what's real is going to be some MASSIVE revenue losses this season because nobody is going to go out to watch this sorry-ass franchise.
