I wanted to watch Sonny Gray pitch yesterday, but the way StL is hitting, maybe a rainout is the best thing that could happen.

remain calm.

i think the entire coaching staff and a minimum, 5- 24 man roster players
have to go. Gorman gone. Carlson gone. Noot gone. i mean GONE. I don't
care if they are out of options, no one will want them and more importantly
we don't want them. GM, gone. President, gone! Open a fire sale for
anyone on the roster. We've tolerated this sh__ for too long. Goldy is a
veteran and gets the year to figure things out, i respect him. End of the year,
without stats, gone. Lets see Scott2, Robberse, Walker, Winn, Graceffo, Herrera,
McGreevy, Thompson, Tink, Baker and anybody else i dont know about.

show 'em the door, enough Missouri nice.

Crawford is only there on a one-year deal and is just a bench guy at this point who plays once, maybe twice a week if Winn needs a day off.

Last season was tough to take and was widely viewed as an anomaly. Well, it's looking like the new norm with the crew running the club. In my opinion, It's not too early to make significant and major changes. The changes need to come from the Dewitt family and start with the GM and coach.

Player development has cratered. In addition to that poor decisions have cost this franchise dearly. How many players have the Cardinals developed over the last 5-6 yrs that have played at anything close to All Star level? How many pitchers? Randy Arozarena, Adolis Garcia, Zach Gallen and Sandy Alcantara have. For other teams.

Hopefully this team snaps out of it and starts stringing together wins. But if not and we get up into June with this team mired in last place some really tough decisions will need to be made. If it gets to that point my plan would be to dump every veteran that's making any money. Don't care if you get anything back for them. Play all the young guys the rest of the year and find out if anybody is worth keeping. Rebuild from there.
