Why? WHY??? It makes zero sense. Marmol is a crap manager. He has had 4 years and done NOTHING for this team but made things WORSE.

  1. It doesn’t really make sense to hire a new manager while they try to rebuild. I assume the extension would only be for a year or two. 

  2. Just so stupid. Arguably the worst in measurable stats like bullpen usage and defensive subs.

  3. Wellhehas a stellar record. DeWitt just is not going to take any chances or spend any money.

  4. He’s actually not done a bad job, considering how poorly constructed this roster has been since the start of the 2023 season…

  5. The reason I don’t see anybody mentioning is that if the Cardinals actually make a halfhearted attempt to contend this season, Bloom can fire him as a scapegoat when he thinks the team is ready and bring in a real manager

  6. Whoever manages needs to have a good ability to communicate and keep the young guys focused as well as help them progress.

  7. How has Marmol made things worse? Seriously. Tell me how he has made this team worse. Did he construct the roster? Is he in charge of player development? Is he in charge of the draft? Does he scout amateur players? Did he tell Mo that we didn’t need Yamamoto? Is he preventing some player on the team from turning into the next Pujols Yadi or Waino? If so what player is that?

    Oh that right, he was a big meanie and told the press that Tyler O’Neil didn’t hustle. Absolutely disgraceful. No manager in any sport has ever publicly called out their players.
