Who ever is doing player valuation can miss it this bad should be fire. This may be the entire coaching staff and Mo.
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Thank you, that front office is so stupid. It's not him it's been the coaching and the pitching staff sucks at coaching the pitchers how to locate a damn ball smh
And sending Jordan walker back down and bring Paul dejung back up to big leagues. Should of left down
Completely missed the mark. They removed wilson to put the sole owness on the pirching staff. When you have our ace saying he doesnt know why pitch x was called on an 0-2 count then you have a freaking attitude problem on your pitching staff. If the pitcher doesnt like the call then shake it off. But with Wilson out, what's their excuse now?
How about you don't fire your old coach .. the current coach seem ill-equipped to manage this roster. You have a lots young talent in the OF that you could flip for some pitching.
Cardinal fans agree with you… owners & front office got to go
we suck. we lost one of our best pitcher in FA and didn't attempt to sign anyone
Stir the cauldron. Something had to be done and the children wanted their own teddy bear to catch. It will all turn out well in the end or not.
They're blaming the pitch clock, Molina not being behind the plate anything but Marmol and Mozelok. They're just using Contreras as a scapegoat.
Been a Cards fan all of my 44 years. The Cardinals have never been big FA starting pitching chasers, ever at all. After being a wild card ready team for the last 3 years luckily.
Everyone who is a fan in STL, knew our starting pitching along with the bullpen would be shit. As it was last year and so on. Love how J. Mo is trying to point at Contreas, like its his fault the Dimwitts wont spend any money on quality starting pitching!😅😂😂😂
I’m 40 and they’ve never been this bad in my lifetime.
Are they tanking on purpose possibly?
It stays this bad cardinal fans may not show up for the games much and they shouldn’t.
Cardinals scapegoating hard for the terrible performance issues. But what can you say for a team constantly being caught cheating in one form or another
You’re talking about this like it’s a bad thing. MLB is a business. In order to protect your investment, you need to pull out and incubate your foundation. The pitchers are not on the same page with him. You pull him out, and mold him to be “the future of this organization” this is a good move. It doesn’t make sense to you because you’re a podcast tiny minded little twink
I just cant understand why they are so in denial with our pitching. It needs to be completely overhauled. We have too many offensive pieces now, MAKE TRADES!
The front office didn't have a starting rotation signed for a long-time and then they blame the catcher? John Mozeliak is the Jerry Jones of the MLB.
You just enjoy talking bad about the Cardinals to much for me matter of fact the only time you do talk about the Cardinals is to say something bad. Jordan Walker's hitting 190 in the minors so he wasn't ready for the big lights he's not even hitting in AAA. So he's obviously working on things that our management seen. So you're wrong about that and you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to Contreras he's working on his technique so he's not getting hurt from Hicks and others bouncing their sliders. He took one to the knee from Hicks and a couple of balls went by him so they want him to work on it mainly so he won't get hurt. Plus their teaching him to call a game which is something he said he hasn't really done. So keep talking because it's obvious you don't know shit about the Cardinals other than their bad this year because the pitching is shit!!!
4:35 the cardinals are one of those franchises where they won’t allow that type of development at the major league level due to being a franchise with championship expectations year after year. There’s a reason why a lot of the prospect they give up on, leave and thrive elsewhere
I have a problem with why aren’t the pitchers accepting any responsibility for their shit performance and perfectly frigging a-ok throwing a teammate under the bus. Pathetic.
With Jordan Walker in my option the Cardinals front office already feel it's a lost season and with that mindset I feel that they don't want to waste Jordan Walker service time to be eligible for arbitration. Cardinals are doing the same thing what the Cubs wanted to do with Kris Bryant. Keep him in the minor until the team good enough to compete. The Cardinals feel Jordan Walker could be a generational talent. They're just protecting themselves and their assets just incase.
