He’s handled Pujols fantastically. He knows most of the fans in the road and at home want Pujols in there starting to see another Pujols moment.
Bullpen management is better. He will put his best pitcher in regardless if game is in the 8th inning if 2/3/4 are due up. Not every move is correct. But, in my just a fan analysis, he seems better at it than Schildt.

Yea my mind tells me he seems better then Schildt, thats a separate matter to whether Schildt should have been fired. Not that he has done himself any favors since leaving STL.
I can only think of a few times all season I have wondered WTF Ollie was doing. He seems to have a good grasp of the team and the parts.
