Yes the non stop mental errors game after game would never reflect poorly on coaching. The lack of accountability would also never reflect poorly on leadership.
Matheny is toast, DeWitt can’t ignore it much longer. LaRussa could do much better with less. He won the2006 W.S without a “ loaded” team. Matheny has a starting rotation that is one of the best in baseball. [Reply]

why would you think that? Everything coming from the Cardinals gives every indication that they think Matheny is a not only a great manager but one of the best in the whole league. They are lucky to have him. [Reply]
Listened to an interview with Buster Onley. He said Dewitt is The Godfather of baseball. More powerful than Manafred, the baseball commissioner. He is well respected by everyone. If so, why the unconditional Matheny love?
He thinks the rash of pitcher injuries due to running the bases is the main reason for the recent push for the DH. But, he also thinks other owners who have wanted the DH for a long time are pushing now that Dewitt has an obvious DH. They don’t think Dewitt will vote for it but he may not lobby against it. That may be the difference in the few votes that sway the vote to DH for all of MLB. [Reply]

I haven’t heard this before, that’s very interesting to me and comes as a bit of a surprise. [Reply]
