I'm finding it hard to be very excited for this year. I hope Lopez shows enough to force Moore's hand and make Merrifield expendable. Beyond that I'm looking for Mondesi to walk more and the low minors players to show another year of progress, and hopefully better plate discipline. The 2019 draft and #2 pick should be interesting. Should we be expecting another competitive balance pick?

People spewing the "bible study" charge need to back it up with evidence, or admit they're full of shit.
That exact line was used against DM for years. Then he won the WS. And suddenly it disappeared. |

Totally fair. To my knowledge the Cardinals posters were on a consensus about that so I believed them - maybe one of them (DJ?) can comment more.

What evidence do you want? It’s a rumor I’ve heard a few different places on the internet. Do you want a Cardinals beat writer expounding on it? That doesn’t exist. No reporter is going to write about it. It’s pretty clear he played favorites for veteran players, continuing to run them out through extreme struggles at the expense of PT for bright young talent (see Oscar Taveras and Allen Craig for one example). Wong and Grichuk also have lost PT to uninspiring veterans and were given little rope. I didn’t connect that to his bible study group until reading rumors about that on forums I visit. Don’t remember if DJ and this crew have talked about it, but I’ve seen it in other places. Maybe he just likes shitty veterans... but its awfully convenient that guys known to attend his study group get huge amounts of leeway from him on performance. It’s a rumor and I’ll fully admit that. Whatever the reason, his track record with veterans and young players is atrocious and not the type of leadership KC will need moving forward.

It's pretty obvious Matheny is a terrible manager.

Then it's settled. It's an unsubstantiated, and almost assuredly false, innuendo.
It's pretty un-American to go after a man's character. I'm guessing his job tactics have a lot of room to criticize, but there isn't one among us who'd like our character being attacked. Esp without proof. |
