Forward-thinking organizations would have traded Goldschmidt after 2022 knowing that the decline was coming. I advocated for it that offseason. The most galling part of these fuckups is how predictable they are. [Reply]

Same organization said in February of 2023 that they had "too much pitching"
Forward thinking is too high a bar for these guys. Able to see what's plainly obvious to anyone with a working brain would be good enough for me. Even THAT would've gotten Goldschmidt traded at the deadline last year.
The problem with the cardinals is that you can't even set the bar on the ground and expect them to clear it. You gotta dig a trench for that fucker to keep them from tripping over it.
It's an impossibly stupid organization. Everywhere. [Reply]

But hey - how can Mozeliak have expected him to go someplace else and be good? He was only here for 6 years.
Yesterday, a buddy sent me a Spotify link for Bernie's podcast, where they had a guest from San Fran who also has experience with the Cardinals. He said that the Cardinals really didn't support him when he tried to start. Rather, just be you and let 'er rip.
The Giants, on the other hand, slowed him down to 95 so he's not at max throw each time and he is more accurate. They slightly changed his arm delivery and wanted him to add specific pitches, rather than tinkering with a little bit of everything.
It was quite maddening to listen to and eventually I just had to stop.
There are some serious problems in the Cardinals leadership. [Reply]
I hope that STL tells them to fuck off. No money until the shit is cleared out of the front office.
New: The Cardinals are gearing up for a big ask for more public funding for Busch Stadium. The team president compares the potential scale of the project to two other franchises that each obtained more than $500M in public funds for stadium upgrades. https://t.co/gOUFOFmeT3
