By now, everyone knows what just took place with former Cardinals manager Mike Shildt in San Diego and how it mirrors what led to him being fired in 2021. I have to say it’s nice to finally have some answers, but I don’t think I’m alone in that my opinion on the matter has changed.
After hearing what went down, I can say without any reservations that John Mozeliak made the right call when he fired Shildt and replaced him with Oli Marmol. I won’t regurgitate any of what has already been said about Shildt, but one thing that happened after Shildt was fired and the Cardinals began to struggle was that fans began to direct a lot of their ire towards Marmol.
