I have some personal observations on the Oli Era that I need to rant about
- Poor defense
- Poor attitude
- leadership dysfunction
- hypocrisy / bias
Check it out⬇️
My observations on why Oli is a HORRIFIC manager [THREAD]:
1: Defense has gotten WORSE under him. Cardinals have gone from the most GG in MLB history for one team under Shildt, to now going to the point even Arenado couldn't even keep his GG stream alive

“He’s striking out significantly less and walking more than he ever has in his career.”
I’m telling you all, there is something MAJORLY wrong with the Cardinals philosophies—-and it’s looking like pitching just isn’t the only thing wrong
Tyler O’Neill has been on an absolute tear in his first 7 games with the Red Sox:

- Extend Oli after the 1st losing season since the 90s and not requiring he needs to prove himself

15 — Lost NLDS
16 — No playoffs

Marmol: "No one's feeling sorry for us right now. Ok? The league loves watching us fail because we're good every year. ... We're just going to have to dig deep and prove everybody wrong. We're up for the task."

I don’t like Oli but if he goes Mo needs to resign. No person should be able to hire & fire 3+ different managers in a roughly 6 year span
*MM fired in 2018
*Shildt fired in 2021
*Oli 2024?🤔
Source: Cardinals manager Oli Marmol is starting to lose supporters in the front office and the current feeling is he has 2-3 weeks to turn this season around before a possible firing.

Reasons like leaving Motter up to bat over Arenado, O’Neil, Contreras is EXACTLY why Oli is not an MLB coach.

EVERY move the Cardinals make or don’t make is a curse
Richie Palacios ripped this ball at a 109.6 EV, harder than anything he hit in the majors or AAA last year.

The way the Cardinals have treated Willson Contreras is horrific and a fireable offense.
Last year they threw him under the bus & blamed him for the downfall
Now (if what Denton said is true) someone on the coaching staff ordered him to out himself in harm’s way—which it did

Here’s the deal:
Woodford deserves a spot over Hudson
Motter deserves a spot over DeJong

Remember how they thought it was cute to cut corners by letting go of Chris Carpenter due to COVID losses? Yeah, pathetic

It was a mistake for Cardinals to keep Oli.
I will stand firm on this hill
Rookie Manager Skip Schumaker is the third Marlins manager to secure a winning record in their first full season managing the team, joining Jim Leyland (92-70) in 1997 and Jack McKeon (83-79) in 2004.

For people who wonder why I assign blame to Oli. This is why
- Defense/fundamentals have gotten WORSE since Shildt left
- He willingly played Taylor Motter earlier this season
- Let Helsley crash & burn last year WC
- Sat Gorman vs LHP
- No consistent lineups

I’m sorry but this Cardinals offseason deserves a C grade at best currently
The only praise worthy move was signing Sonny Gray but you can’t have Sony Gray pitch 9 innings for 162 games.
Lynn & Gibson is NOT impressive for a team that finished last
52
13
271
The Cardinals should bring back CHRIS Carpenter if they REALLY want leadership
That dude turned around the Cardinals' 2011 season with a veteran-led locker room meeting and wasn't afraid to lead them in the dugout either
34

274
The Cardinals really went out and got Lance Lynn, Kyle Gibson, & Sonny Gray and then fell off the face of the earth…..
Sorry but that just isn’t acceptable ESPECIALLY in their WORST season since the 90s.
Have fun at the bottom next year again I guess🤷

This is basically the instruction for Cardinals MLB hitting philosophy
🔹Watch pitches down the middle
🔹Swing at pitches out of the zone (especially doen & outside)
🔹 Don’t move runners over
🔹Make it a goal to hit a HR even if it means popping up
🔹 Hit into Double play

263
So let me get this straight (and maybe I’m the stupid one) but Oli will sit Masyn Winn for back issues but won’t bat an eye for when a pitcher has back issues?
Again, maybe I’m dumb. But someone tell me why two people with back issues are being treated differently
Marmol, after a short outing from Matz, says he's been dealing with come back concerns recently: "Continuing to push through it wasn't the answer. He didn't have enough to finish hitters."

“Why do you hate Oli so much?”
Well….
- Defense is the WORST I’ve seen under him since Matheny in 2017/18

- Pulled Q early
- Repeatedly refused to bat Gorman vs LHP
- Bat Motter in an important situation
- Has some shades of arrogance
