    Yadier Molina in my opinion is the greatest catcher of all time, he may not have hit with a lot of power but his baseball iq and defense was off the charts good.

    It's good to hear that metheny asked Molina who said ask the catcher if they pitcher has it and should stay in. Nobody sees or knows the pitchers better than the catcher and some coaches and teams don't do it . I Even see managers calling pitches which is a no no . Molina is / was great catcher and knows what's up

    Now that Yadier Molina has gone we're seeing how good he actually was...
    The difference is brutal!!!
    We've never been this bad.... Yadi Molina retires and all of a sudden were out here looking like a Triple-A team if that...
    It just goes to show how good that guy really was... I wish Yadi would seriously consider coming back to manage this team!!!
    If I were the Cardinals I would offer Yadi whatever he wants!!
    We have to do something because I think we've lost eight in a row and out of our last 20 I'm pretty sure we've lost like 18....
    I was sure after Oliver pulled Jordan Montgomery after 89 pitches after the 6th that it would be the last straw and they would fire the guy immediately, because as soon as he made the move we lost simultaneously lol... But I was wrong. It feels like they're going to just ride it out... Which sucks because we will never dig ourselves out with Oliver Marmol managing...
    We're about to lose over 100 games,
    I'll tell you that. If they don't do something if they don't fire this guy we will continue to lose!!
    It's serious too. Last year he was getting in the habit of yanking Yadier Molina or Albert Pujols from the game early, way too much...
    Then we got eliminated from the playoffs without Adam Wainwright even touching the ball... That's just disrespectful and we heard Adam being negative in the clubhouse, we heard him talking in a way that we've never hear or seen before.. I mean, at least I've never heard Adam talk the way he talked after we got eliminated.... He was questioning everything!!!
    Then there's the situation with Tyler Oneil.... I really don't even need to say anything about that because Oliver was so out of pocket it's ridiculous. It's like he's trying to divide the clubhouse. It's like after every game he wants the fans and everyone to think about him.... After every loss, the only thing on my mind is Oliver Marmol because it's his silly moves that are losing these games. Even today he probably could have pulled Wainwright after the 4th when he got in trouble out there in the 5th. Wainwright looked so good out there today, He had five strikeouts in two innings. His next outing is going to be great. It was a solid start for him being its the first... Definitely proved he still belongs!!
    Then you got yesterday's game... Do you think Jordan Montgomery was happy being taken out after 6 innings and just 89 pitches??
    Now another player has a bad taste in his mouth and they are all pretending like it's not a problem but in the back of everyone's head they just don't want to play for this guy ANYMORE!!!! Oliver Marmol is affecting this game way more than he should...
    We probably should have won the last five games in a row!! However the game will be moving along and we will be winning and then this little guy comes off the bench and just destroys everything and we lose....
    He doesn't know how to use our bullpen or a starter!! Today he put Edman out there and immediately yanked him for Nolan Gorman I think it was....
    And that's because Oliver is selfish and he's making personal moves to try to make himself look good.... But it never panns out, it is always a loss... When I see a manager doing stuff like that, second-guessing himself in just 5 seconds time, that's crazy.... It tells me that he doesn't even know what he has or what he wants... Second-guessing himself he's unsure.
    It's just brutal man, it has to stop, they have to fire him....

      Go look at that guy's minor league career numbers. He never made it to the Major leagues. His numbers in the minor-league are absolutely brutal. Me and you could have done better.
      Now he's managing guys at 36 years old who are going to be in the Hall of Fame when he couldn't even make it in minors. Lol.
      You'll know exactly why our team is playing the way they are once you go look at Oliver's minor-league numbers. Lol.
      It's so hilarious. He was such a bad player.

      I’m a Dodger fan that lives in Saint Louis actually born and raised in East Saint Louis. I remember this year yawl Manger brought the closer in the beginning of the 8th! By the 9th inning the closer was down from 102-97 and we was teeing off on the closer because he was obviously gassed! Yawl end up winning in the bottom of the 9th but that’s when I knew that Manager has absolutely no idea what he is doing!
