Mozeliak and Marmol need to be sold! That's it. The last time the Cardinals were this bad, Whitey Herzog resigned. Have some class Marmol and Mo. Step down immediately.
I've never heard such ignorance comparing a shootout to the use of a runner at second in the 10th inning. First, after playing 90 mins in soccer, there are two different 15 min halves of extra time before a shootout. Second, penalty shootouts are the most exciting thing in soccer besides a 90th min goal. I agree with the other journalist that the runner on second speeds up the extra innings format and its more exciting to watch. I once attended the longest game in baseball in the 2000s at the Royals and it went 18 innings. 9 extra innings of no hits or runs. I was so sunburned because it was in July. If you're fine with changes to the game like a pitch clock, then how can you try to be a purist on other changes like a runner at second in extra innings?
And Mo told us we had 6 quality starters at the beginning of the season😂😂😂 Cardinals front office is the problem, but Mo will never be fired!! Marmol does everything the front office tells him too do!! HORRIBLE season for Cardinals Nation!!
Tying your championship to an exhibition in any way is stupid. It always was. You two can have your island. My proposal? Select two potential ASG hosts, one from each league, and have the game decide which city gets to host. You would probably have to keep it on the schedule it’s on now, in terms of allowing teams to prepare and engage sponsors. But if the 2023 ASG determined where the 2027 ASG were played? I’d be down for that. And it can spark some real rivalry between the leagues, which is where the discussion started.
The cardinals have one of the biggest fan bases in any sports and they throw the cardinals name on here just to get clicks. Kinda makes you feel used. They come on here say two sentences about the team and move on. I guess if your not a coast team then your irrelevant to them.
When they make me commissioner, the all star game will be an 8 team single elimination tournament with one team from each division after we expand to 32 teams
Bad news for aging Cardinal fans. After they blowup this sorry bunch and try to rebuild it may take 10-15 years or more to get back to playoffs. Especially with a bow tie pencil neck geek who's never played the game making the personnel decisions.
I'm not fond of the extra inning rule but Heyman made a great point. In the past guys were just trying to play HR derby to win it. BORING. If MLB really hates extra innings why not just count ties like they do in soccer? 3 points for a win, 1 for a tie. Easy peasy. Don't mess with the ASG. It's an exhibition for the fans and it's suppose to be fun for the players and fans both.
Sadly… they have made it where the allstar game really can’t count anymore… before interleague or limited interleague play… I remember that who got home field was determined by the calendar… even years NL odd years AL (or the other way around.. I forget.)… so having it determine home field for the world series was fine.. but now that you have full interleague play.. you really need the teams to determine that themselves. Really, I find to fix the all-star game.. 1. no more every team represented.. worked great when each league had 8 teams.. they have 15 now.. and some of those teams don’t have a player good enough to crack the lineup even of the better teams.. sy nothing of an AS game… 2. Go back to 25 man rosters.. stop this extended roster.. we the fans only want the best of the best… could care less about guys who are there just to represent their piss poor team.. 3. Lose the DH… I loved the old NL style of play.. but I also loved the DH too.. but for the AS game.. having the pitcher hit for themselves forces a team to change pitchers more often.. which for an AS game.. is actually a good thing. gives you a reason to pinch hit and use more bullpen… Yes the best AS games were pre-UFA era.. when the leagues hated each other..and even before interleague scurge that Bud thrust upon us… but you look back at some of the best of them.. they didn’t worry about emptying the bench.. Hell, you go back to the ones in the 40’s adn 50’s… they played the 8 starters the whole game.. and the pitchers only threw 3 innings (which is the max they can in the AS game)… so they all used the minimum… and they were great… now, it’s just too watered down.. and the bonus money to play in it is peanuts by today’s contract standards, where for many years… that bonus was a big addition to their salaries…
Over/under 2.5 white Sox/cardinals players traded
Pretty simple answer to this question. The Cardinals will find a way to lose.
Nothing more obnoxious than Brian Kenny talking over people.

Let's go White Sox!

Let Dylan Cease go he hasn't Pitched good this season.
shocker barely had any coverage on the cards…
Let's talk about the White Sox and Cardinal's for 6 minutes……. *spends 12 seconds talking about Cardinals*
I’m ok with having a guy on second for extra innings, but if you’re going to do that, the team needs to start with one out.
so no talk about the Cardinals? ok
And Mo told us we had 6 quality starters at the beginning of the season😂😂😂 Cardinals front office is the problem, but Mo will never be fired!! Marmol does everything the front office tells him too do!! HORRIBLE season for Cardinals Nation!!
Cardinals NEED to trade their EXTRA players and the farm system EXTRAS and get OHTANI. Trash ➡ Gold

Putting a runner on second is the worst thing in baseball. Seriously, it is embarrassing for the sport.
Extra inning rule is stupid
These bozos saying play to sudden death clearly have never stepped foot on a pitch 😂
I Disagree Keep Cease
