As a Cardinals fan I have so many thoughts... 2022 was supposed to be our year. Everything was going perfect and it was incredible, except for Goldschmidt. If you look at Goldies game logs in 22, he fell off a cliff as soon as September hit. The only reason we actually made the playoffs and got to the 90+ wins was just on the back of Pujols magical run. He carried all the runs we needed to win games in September. Goldy stopped hitting completely as soon as September hit. I think the "wasted" idea is a 50/50 blame. Goldnado didn't show up when we needed them the most. Arenado is like 1/20 in the playoffs in those 2 years. He just didn't do anything. Goldy fell off too. They should carry 50% of the blame, and the office just didn't suppled the pitching the modern game was needed. The FO brought in 2 MVP perennial players, and they just didn't show up when they were needed the most. I think about the difference in the Dodgers 23 and 24 post seasons. The Dodgers got swept in 2023 in the NLDS because Mookie and Freeman didn't show up and did nothing when it was needed the most. They won in 2024 because Freeman and Mookie showed up. When you're paying MVP players MVP money, they gotta come through. Small addition. No Yadi. He led the team, and was the face of the team. Goldy & Arenado couldn't step and be the face of a franchise. They'll succeed when there are other players that are the faces of the organization. < Die Hard Cardinals Fan
One thing you forgot to mention is Yadir Molina. His leadership got them through the last decade. The year he retired? The cards fell off a cliff. He had more of an effect on the team than just his bat and calling skills behind the plate
As a lifelong Cardinals fan I'm pretty disappointed with Ownership (DeWitt family) for wasting the years we had with Goldy and Nado. A few seasons ago they finished 1st and 3rd in MVP voting respectively... but why were ownership so uptight that they couldn't shell out some more money on supporting pieces to go all in? Half ass measures facilitate half-assed results. I'm primarily speaking of the Year we brought Pujols back and had that magic... IF there was ever a time to push the chips all in, that was it. The front office has now somewhat decided to go into a rebuild and may have realized how egregiously they dropped the ball, but most STL fans will always have a sour taste in our mouths because of how horribly they dropped the ball when we had these two on our roster. Pathetic.
Cardinals are focusing on rebuilding the front office and player development system this offseason. Next season is just about letting the young guys play that they already have, and whatever happens, happens.
Coming from a Cardinal fan myself, wasting it isn’t the best way to describe it. 2023 sucked for sure, and I think age has a lot to do with it. Goldy was 36 in 2023, and Arenado is still good
The Cardinals once had one of the best farm systems in all baseball. They had several prospects, a lot of good players in development, and a system pumping more out. Then, they started trading their farm system players away. Stopped investing in the farm system. Stopped drafting good talent. Stopped developing their pitchers. You know, like the White Sox. I've wondered since about 2017 if Reinsdorf secretly bought the Cardinals...
As a Cardinals fan this is SO true, and it hurts badly. Mozeliak(our GM) has been afraid to spend money and fired Shields for no reason. That’s when the downfall started. Whilst was a coach that would make the decisions he wanted to for the team and Marmol our current coach, does whatever Mozeliak wants. Pathetic. Cardinals fans are going to see the end of an era with both gone by the beginning of the season but it will be a fresh start. Expect to see the cards in the playoffs in 3-5yrs. Bloom will find a way. Let’s go Cards.
It was amazing to see them in 2022 lead that win streak. Then the Phillies happened and Paul and Nolan did absolutely nothing. Then 23 and 24 happened. They had great moments, but it wasn't enough. Screw you Mozeilak
The cardinals potentially wasted their time with a future HoFer 3rd baseman in his prime along side several other really good players in a mediocre divison...and yet they STILL are better off than the Rockies
Arenado is unquestionably the best defensive corner I’ve seen in history, and if the baseball gods can save him from Trout Syndrome, it’s gotta be LA. 🤷♂️ He’s already thumbin on the roadside with an “LA or BUST” sign. Gods let it BE! 🙏😮💨
My favorite player is Nolan Arenado. He is one of the best to ever play third. Rockies didn’t know how to win so…go to the cardinals to lose? GO TO A TEAM TO WIN THE WORLD SERIES!!! Besides Goldy, nobody else could do anything.
I laughed way too hard when he said "pujols at age 57" 🤣
I was eatin ramen & burned my t’roat from a choke-laugh.
Don’t let this distract you, the Yankees blew a 6 run lead in game 5 of the World Series.
5 run
If only the Cardinals Signed: World Series Champion Brent Honeywell Jr To A: 12 Year 650 Million Dollar Contract, maybe they would of won...
I Love this on going running joke 😂😂😂
only screwballer in mlb
"would of" Dear lord go educate yourself.
Nolan Arenado just used his no trade clause to save himself from the Huston Astros.
Busy packing up for Boston

Feels like Goldschmidt just won MVP. Can't believe that was in 2022
Bro went from saying Pujols was 48 to 57 😂😂😂
as a cardinals fan, this hurt to watch, but damn is it so true.
Had to do it🙏
As someone who’s getting into baseball your channel helps a lot
That means a lot, thank you!! Glad you're getting into it
@@iTalkStudios decided to be a padres fan am i cooked?
@@EzeIsCoolNo they are a respectable solid playoff team
@@EzeIsCoolLowkey. They’re almost like the Mets of the west.
You should checkout Fuzzy. He does daily videos on baseball.
One thing you forgot to mention is Yadir Molina. His leadership got them through the last decade. The year he retired? The cards fell off a cliff. He had more of an effect on the team than just his bat and calling skills behind the plate
entertaining as usual! Thank you.
Thank YOU

Seeing this as Nolan just rejected a trade to the Astros 😭

So glad Mo will be no Mo after this year
It was amazing to see them in 2022 lead that win streak. Then the Phillies happened and Paul and Nolan did absolutely nothing. Then 23 and 24 happened. They had great moments, but it wasn't enough. Screw you Mozeilak
As a cardinals fan.. I dread watching this video.. heartbreak
The pujols age comments are great 😂😂😂
the Cards wasted a huge year from Pujols, who, at age 78, still crushed a lot of homeruns...
Bloom is not in charge yet, he is focusing on the farm system this year and then he will officially take over for 2026.
4 years of the best corner infield paired with 4 years of the worst starting pitching rotation 😭🙏
I believe arenados ops + was higher in st louis then Colorado due to the park factor of coors
The cardinals potentially wasted their time with a future HoFer 3rd baseman in his prime along side several other really good players in a mediocre divison...and yet they STILL are better off than the Rockies
Watch him go to the Mets
Nolan Just Blocked a trade to Houston
and just like that nolan arenado used his NTC to block a trade to houston
The Rockies hate winning lol
Same video for the Blue Jays after the 2025 season
Arenado said No to the Astros.
Arenado is unquestionably the best defensive corner I’ve seen in history, and if the baseball gods can save him from Trout Syndrome, it’s gotta be LA. 🤷♂️ He’s already thumbin on the roadside with an “LA or BUST” sign. Gods let it BE! 🙏😮💨
Boston.
Blueface the rapper?? 😂😂😂
Nolan just vetoed a trade to the Astros. Will he veto other trades I wonder?
We still got Masyn Winn the goat🐐
I'm honestly surprised the Cards didn't make a good postseason run at Goldy and Nolan besides that 2019 year ofc
One minute 18 views? Bro fell off💔
As a Cardinals fan this video hurt....it was all correct, but man it hurt.
Haha had to do it🙏 Sorry
@@iTalkStudios hey man, I can't blame you. You just call it how it is. Keep up the great videos!
How old was Pujols by the end of the video?
Can we get a 4th Guess? 😭😭. My pick for Arenado is Houston ngl
Wasn’t Chaim bloom fired?
Bloom will do to the cardinals what he did to the Red Sox
Sun 500 most of the time
I disagree!!!! yes STL should have won there division every season but they didn’t have a WS type of team.
My favorite player is Nolan Arenado. He is one of the best to ever play third. Rockies didn’t know how to win so…go to the cardinals to lose? GO TO A TEAM TO WIN THE WORLD SERIES!!! Besides Goldy, nobody else could do anything.
Thank you. That STL lineup last season was TRASH. THEY EVEN LET EDMAN GO.
why do you always find a way to shit on the phillies? like damn bruh lol
Arenado played at Coors field. That's probably why his OPS+ was low those years.
Hello
What's up
LOVE TO SEE IT ! F STL and yadier Molina 😂😂😂
