Another loss to the Reds tomorrow and the Era is over. The Secret Weapon will be the interim manager.

You heard it here first.

Could be but the bullpen has had an ERA over 12 in the last few games BEFORE today and it was a lot of different guys. Matheny didn't throw a pitch out of the pen. How much different does this game turnout IF Hicks makes the barehand DP on the ball back to him? As bad as he had been up to that point if he gets that 2-3, or maybe 2-5, DP it could have changed the whole thang! Kolten Wong sure didn't help the cause today either. Gets to the shot off his glove then throws it no where near 1st base, fails to cover 2nd on a ball up the middle that DeJong made a very good play on and couldn't get a decent bunt down with Marp on 2nd. A bunt has to be pretty bad to not get a runner from 2nd to 3rd. He can't seem to get the part about it being a sac bunt.
 
Nope

Tonight
Well I guess Mikolas could have skipped his start tomorrow and pitched in the allstar game after all. :rolleyes:
I have no problem with the firings but not one of those guys threw a pitch or attempted to play defense recently. Maybe the pitching coach should have been sent packing too.
 
Lot of blame to be placed all around but at the end of the day it’s easier to fire a manger and a couple coaches rather than a bunch of the roster. Don’t know what goes on with the attitude in the clubhouse but sounds like things have been rough. IMO At the end of the day it is a poorly built roster, thanks in part to a lot of signings that just didn’t work out.

Who is leading the team?

What coach is having major issues with one of the big money free agents?

Who was recently written about in regards to using a veteran pitcher to snitch on younger players and fine them?

Who is one of the worst managers in the game?

The same name answers all of those. The Cardinals are now a better team. And please.....fire Maddux. That would make me laugh so much
 
Fyi. I hadnt heard anything and just threw that out there. Keeping the bench coach in charge isnt exactly inspiring.

I have to think Jose turned down the chance to take over?

If not, I'm guessing he's pissed
 
Eagles_Ball, I’m confused by your statement concerning Fowler. Bench Fowler or not?

Bench. Should’ve been benched long time ago. Hell, I’m about with Cards at this point. Mo should just man up and DFA him and eat the deal. Obvious the dude is done.
 
Bernie had a pretty good article on it at The Athletic. Said basically they hired him b/c they thought he'd be patient with the young guys, learn the advanced metrics (something TLR ignored), good with the media, and run a good clubhouse. He's been a failure at all. It’s just nuts when you think about all the games the Birds won even when he made insanely stupid in game decisions too.
