I agree with Mike.. Yadi will not be managing in the near future. Scott will go to Memphis for more experience. Last few games he's struggled a bit at the plate facing better pitchers.
I knew we wouldn't pay for Montgomery or Snell. Now it sounds like Lorenzen going to sign for half of what Gibson, or Lynn did. We needed a number 2 before Gray went down, now we still really need one. Dont even care about Marmol, he is Mo's yes man, we could've had Schumacher.
Happy Shildt for his first win. Especially after the strange way he lost the first one. As for Oli’s extension, nothing more for Mo to do. It’s akin to the asshat mockingbird journalists doubling down on their lies like “bloodbath” for example. Go Cardinals. Hoping the players can come together and soar.
I still have serious questions about Oli, but he won some credibility with how he handeled the aftermath of this past season. I really like his attitude, and accountability. I don't understand the extension though. The time for this was after the season. Like around the winter meetings, in which Mo said Oli had to earn an extension. That's an acceptable stance to take. It's also acceptable for Mo to say Oli is his guy and give him an extension then. To double back around a couple weeks before the season starts is just weird. Especially when your comments justifying it sound like you think the team will suck to start off. Mo isn't a bad GM, but he is horrible at messaging and constantly sends the wrong message to fans. Going out and getting 3 starting pitchers like they did immediately and addressing their bullpen issues like they did makes it seem like they have a plan and understand what needs to be done. Then stuff like signing both Matt Carpenter and Brandon Crawford, and how they've handled Oli, makes it look like they are constantly scrambling and have no clue what they are doing. You knew Oli would be a lameduck, so what changed?
Sorry Caleb, I don't agree about Oli only wanting to keep the best around him. He didn't do much to keep Maddox around and he didn't go out and get someone better than iPad.
