They can't develop hitters worth a shit anymore. They overrate all their prospects. The guys they trade for suck.
Just not interesting to watch right now. |

Nope - just binge watching Letterkenny or {ugh} going back into the office for an hour or two. That's right folks - I'd rather go to work than watch the !@#$ing Cardinals once I get the kids put to bed. This team is that difficult to watch. And they offer so little in the way of hope to build on. We're stuck with this roster for at least one more year and since nobody in the organization has the stones to tell Yadi to sit the **** down, he'll be here for as long as he wants to be as well. Fowler, Goldschmidt, Molina and Carpenter sucking up $80 million in payroll for another couple of years. But hey, at least we'll only have Cecil and Miller on the books for one more. It's just unbelievable how bad, boring and rudderless this organization has become.

I watch the Braves a lot because of the wife. They're basically the anti-Cardinals. Their pitching largely sucks too, but they play with passion and fire and power through it.
Fun team to watch. Sort of like the Cardinals used to be. |

Yet they are still almost selling out every game. Including an As game on Wednesday night with a rain delay. Even the As broadcast talked about the crowd. Until the no shows stop buying tickets, nothing changes.

Could this be the year that ends Mo being in charge?

The last game I watched was whenever they played SNB vs the Cubs.
Think if I wrote an angry letter to the front office I could get them to refund my MLB.tv $$$? |

I listened to the "Seeing Red" podcast yesterday afternoon.
Bernie lit into the club and Schilt about their attitudes towards the fans and the team. Larussa challenged Mo to make the team better, get rid of this guy etc. Get in Dewitts and Mo's face, He personally saw it many times. Wouldn't disclose the details. Matheny and now Schildt wouldn't challenge Mo or strongly advocate like Larussa to improve the team. Mo and Dewitt got their manager that wont challenge them. Now, they are fat and happy without anyone challenging them to do better. Will Leitch was going off about the MVP book that is out. Basically, all clubs are moving away from making players ultra comfortable in their position and with the team. The theory was if the players are comfortable, they will perform at their best. Now, according to Will, almost every team in the MLB is taking the opposite approach. But, the Cardinals are still stuck in the old approach. Giving out unnecessary contracts to make players feel comfortable. Never confronting a player to change bad habits but just showing them video or suggesting a different tactic. No consequences or confrontation, dont be negative, positive reinforcement.

Man it would be nice if they brought up Dylan Carlson to play center. He is going to be in the outfield next year so they might as well do it now. It can’t get any worse in center as far as production.

Not like there was any chance they’d sell at the deadline.

Hudson only gets charged with one earned run because he committed the error that extended the inning.
Dude's ERA is living a charmed life, even if he is pitching like shit.

This team is staggeringly bad. Can't wait for Mo to trade Carlson for Sergio Romo.
