30% decrease in attendance the past 3 seasons. Have not made the playoffs since 2022.

Do they move on from Marmol or give him another season?

I also feel like their struggles have flown under the radar compared to other storied franchises who have fallen behind recently.

There is no reason to get rid of him when the earnest rebuild only started this season.

They need to coax Pujols, Freese, Carpenter and Molina out of retirement. But the biggest hit was the death of Mike Shannon who would will them to win from the broadcast booth.

I miss Mike.

He will be back.

I'll be very surprised if we finish under .500 next year, probably closer to 90 wins.

St Louis is just a bigger ghetto than Memphis

Seriously, there's little growth if any and the economy ain't exactly gangbusters.

So the franchise should relocate?

If you actually followed baseball, you'd know they had a pretty good season relative to expectations coming into the season. A lot of good young players showed development, Wetherholt looks like a future star, and they were playing competitive over .500 baseball for the first 75% of the season. No one expected them to compete this year, and their pitching depth was never there to carry them all the way. No reason at all to be down about this year if you're a Cardinals fan.

Hey Paul,

Get out of the house sometime and come walk around north St. Louis. We’d love to have you.
