When they fired Shidlt I said to a co-worker “I hope they know what they’re doing.” Clearly they didn’t. Someone forgot to check their ego at the door. Hopefully it will be shown the door soon.the cardinals have to make changes or season 2023 could go down as one of the worst in the modern era......
something's gotta give.......................very soon.....................
You never want your team to make trades from a position of weakness...but I have no faith that at some point this organization won't panic and make a couple more horrible trades.the cardinals have to make changes or season 2023 could go down as one of the worst in the modern era......

Mo should be the first one thrown out the damn door.. I honestly question his BB IQ...Off day tomorrow. Would love to see a new manager in the dugout Friday.
This team has talent and should be at least .500. I see no leadership, no accountability.
If there is a move, put an interim tag on him. Evaluate after the season. The game plan since Larussa has been to hire within the the organization a manager with no prior major league managerial experience. The same guy hiring and firing will have his 4th manager since Larussa if Marmol is shown the door. I apologize in advance for being redundant.Off day tomorrow.

If Mo does the hiring, he will be looking for another YES man. Shidlt probably said “no” on too many times for Mo’s liking. This kind of $hit $show is usually the end result when leadership surrounds themself with YES men.
Fredbird has been an understated issue for the St. Louis Cardinals in 2023.
The St. Louis Cardinals have no shortage of problems in 2023. The offense has not lived up to its potential, and the defense has been at a questionable level. The rotation, although better of late, has also been shaky. But fans are glossing over one major red flag — or, rather, red feather.
Much as Tyler O'Neill has tantalized fans from his elite 2021, Fredbird, the Cardinals' mascot, is living off of his reputation from 2020. Who can forget Fredbird's antics as the sole sign of life in the stadium? With no fans to distract him, Fredbird was brilliant. He ironed. He bathed. He painted. And in one memorable moment, Harrison Bader hit a home run that smacked the piece of art Fredbird had worked so hard on.
But as fans gradually began returning to the stadium in 2021, Fredbird's visibility took a nosedive. Gone were his days of beautiful artwork and basic bird hygiene; he was back to frolicking around the stadium and interacting with fans. That's all fine, but after such an illustrious peak, this slide back to adequacy is a major disappointment.
Fredbird seems to be more focused on his television career these days, playing himself on "Cardinals Kids." While this educational programming is important in getting young fans interested in baseball, Fredbird can't afford to neglect his responsibilities on the field. It appears that Brad Thompson does most of the heavy lifting on this show anyway, with Fredbird tagging along as the eye candy and comic relief.
Fredbird needs to get right, and that may require a trip to Memphis. Currently on the 40-man roster under the name "Jose Fermin," Fredbird should still have a long leash in the organization given the lack of minor league options used to this point. Still, a change in the nest may be necessary if he can't help the Cardinals produce upon his return.
Cardinals fans, I understand your ire toward the front office, the manager, the coaches, and the players, but let's not allow this aloof avian to get off scot-free.
First game I’ve been to in years. 2 strikes and the crowd on it’s feet cheering the last pitch…….then things went in the crapper.Nolan Arenado after Giants sweep Cardinals on blown save: 'We don't execute'

If this were European futbol, we'd be on the verge of relegation.
Actually we are behind the Nats as of now. If we lose the next 2, we will need a 17 game winning streak to get to .500.
