Cards undefeated with Shildt as manager, beat Reds 6-3

The day has finally arrived. We now have a new manager. This instantly makes game recaps much more interesting to write about from a selfish perspective, because there’s no data on how Mike Shildt manages a major league club. Every game will be an insight into how he manages. Wins and losses ultimately aren’t important in looking at managers. A manager’s impact more or less is simply to put players in a position to succeed. It’s hard for a manager to actually cause a win. It’s pretty easy to cause a loss. Such is the life of a manager.
