Are You Happy With The Cardinals Changes? · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:00
  I think now after the press conference, everybody knows
• 0:05
  what's going to happen for the next at least one year and the
• 0:09
  plan moving forward for 2026. Entering the end of the season,
• 0:16
  a lot of people wanted John Mozelock to step down
• 0:19
  completely. A lot of people wanted Alimar
• 0:22
  Mole to be fired. A lot of people wanted Turner
• 0:26
  Ward to be fired. The hitting coach, maybe even
• 0:29
  you wanted the assistant hitting coach, Brandon Allen to be
• 0:31
  fired. I don't know.
• 0:33
  Brandon Allen is expected to be retained.
• 0:36
  That was reported by Katie Wu and I'm sure other people.
• 0:40
  I read it. Katie Wu seems to be breaking a
• 0:42
  lot of stories for the Cardinals.
• 0:43
  She does a really good job. So basically now that we have, I
• 0:46
  don't want to say totality, Remember, Remember the path of
• 0:50
  totality for the eclipse, the path of totality.
• 0:54
  But I think it's, it's fair to say here, here's the Cardinals
• 0:58
  substantive changes that we know of moving forward for the next
• 1:02
  year. OK, we know Heimbloom is taking
• 1:05
  over in 2026. We know he's going to spend 2025
• 1:10
  redoing, revamping, whatever you want to call it, resetting the
• 1:13
  Cardinals player development system at the minor league
• 1:16
  level. We know Ollie's coming back.
• 1:19
  We know John Mosaic is not stepping down in 2025.
• 1:23
  He's going to oversee this this last year and allow Heim to do
• 1:27
  his thing at the minor league level before Heim takes over.
• 1:31
  And now we have the news that Turner Ward is not coming back.
• 1:36
  And everybody knows the offense was a huge problem.
• 1:39
  The biggest problem for the Cardinals, not just the offense,
• 1:42
  but but situationally runners in scoring position.
• 1:47
  The Cardinals were absolutely terrible.
• 1:50
  So by the way, get your questions in comments in.
• 1:55
  So the theme of this is, have the Cardinals changed enough for
• 2:02
  you guys? And look, clearly there's going
• 2:05
  to be player changes, right? That's not what I meant.
• 2:08
  So maybe this wasn't the best title we know.
• 2:10
  Look, probably there's options for Lance Lynn, Kyle Gibson, one
• 2:16
  or both won't be back. Who's going to be on the trading
• 2:20
  block? Katie Wu already reported that
• 2:22
  Paul Goldschmidt is is not likely to come back.
• 2:26
  So that's part of this change as well.
• 2:28
  Who knows what's going to happen with Nolan Arenado.
• 2:30
  I have to think Nolan Arenado does not want to be here.
• 2:34
  Who knows what's going to happen with Sonny Gray, Wilson,
• 2:37
  Contreras, some of these big contracts.
• 2:39
  If you have this mini reset, whatever you want to call it, do
• 2:42
  they want to stick around, right?
• 2:45
  You have guys with no trade clauses.
• 2:47
  Do they want to leave whatever it is?
• 2:49
  Are they open to that? That's all part of this.
• 2:51
  But I meant more organizationally because I think
• 2:55
  there's going to be a lot of player activity and that's going
• 2:57
  to be fun to talk about. But more so, have the Cardinals
• 3:01
  done enough? Have they changed enough to make
• 3:05
  you guys happy and OK with the blueprint for the future?
• 3:11
  For me, they have and I'll tell you why and, and it really
• 3:17
  sealed the deal for me with Turner Ward not coming back.
• 3:21
  In my perfect world, John Mosaic would have stepped aside and
• 3:26
  said, hey, Heimbloom's taking over in 2025.
• 3:30
  But also think about it like this.
• 3:31
  You're also giving Heimbloom the opportunity to take a whole
• 3:35
  year. And remember he had this past
• 3:37
  year too, to already start this process.
• 3:40
  Heimbloom has had two years, will have had two years to get
• 3:44
  his hands on this organization from the ground up and change it
• 3:48
  before he takes over. So let's say let's say 2025
• 3:53
  isn't great for the Cardinals. I actually think they'll be OK.
• 3:56
  I do. Heck, what if they could be like
• 3:59
  the the Royals and make the playoffs next year?
• 4:01
  I don't think that's out of the question.
• 4:03
  I still like the Cardinals young position players and and
• 4:06
  switching the offensive staff at the top with a new hitting coach
• 4:10
  I think will be big. Who do you think is going to get
• 4:12
  that job by the way? Ryan Ludwig, something like
• 4:13
  that. I'm a big Luddy fan.
• 4:15
  My first year, 2008 was the year Luddy went off.
• 4:18
  What do you have like 37 bombs? 114 RB is 117 RB is you guys
• 4:23
  will let me know on that. Something like that.
• 4:26
  I already forgot my my train of thought, but no.
• 4:30
  So what I'm saying is with Heimbloom taking over 2026, it
• 4:34
  kind of also gives gives him a pass on 2025.
• 4:40
  Like if he was in charge next year and the Cardinals aren't
• 4:42
  good, people are going to be like, oh, here's Heimbloom,
• 4:45
  they're bad again. I almost think in a way John
• 4:49
  Mosaic is doing Heimbloom a favor by staying for the last
• 4:53
  year. And here's the other part.
• 4:55
  I totally get it. If you guys want John Mosaic to
• 4:58
  step aside, I did too. But think about it like this.
• 5:01
  First of all, you cannot like John Mosaic.
• 5:04
  It's fine. I get it.
• 5:05
  I've said I thought his first decade was really good.
• 5:08
  Last five, seven years, not so great.
• 5:11
  Clearly, when you need an entire rebuild of your minor league
• 5:14
  organization, things aren't going well, right?
• 5:16
  I think that's fair to say. But he loves the Cardinals.
• 5:21
  He's been working with the Cardinals for the Cardinals for
• 5:23
  30 years. He loves this franchise, right?
• 5:26
  He wants this franchise to succeed, right?
• 5:30
  Heinbloom has already taken over on A5 year contract.
• 5:34
  I say all those things because think about it like this.
• 5:38
  Do you really think that that John Mosaic is not going to
• 5:43
  include, if not defer to Heimbloom on almost every big
• 5:49
  personnel decision over the next year?
• 5:52
  Think about this like, let's really think about it.
• 5:55
  John Mosaic, you might not like him, you might not like what
• 5:58
  he's done the last three, five years, whatever.
• 6:00
  I'm with you. But let's just say there's a
• 6:03
  trade. Let's say there's a big trade
• 6:06
  and you're going to trade one of these big contract guys.
• 6:09
  Let's just say for fun hypothetical, you're trading
• 6:11
  Nolan Coronado and you're going to the Dodgers and you're
• 6:14
  saying, OK, Dodgers say here's the guys we're we're OK with
• 6:19
  parting with. And let's say John Mosaic likes
• 6:23
  two or three guys and Heimbloom likes one of them, but he likes
• 6:27
  two other guys better. Do you really think, and this is
• 6:30
  a hypothetical, but I think there's going to be decisions
• 6:32
  like this, whether it's with the draft, whether it's with trades,
• 6:35
  whether it's with free agency, blah, blah blah.
• 6:39
  Do you really think if Hein Bloom's like AI, love this
• 6:44
  right-handed pitcher who's in AA and MO's like knowing this is
• 6:49
  MO's last year, knowing Hein Bloom's going to take over for
• 6:53
  the next 5 years, do you really think MO is going to pound his
• 6:56
  first on the table and be like, no, it's got to be my guy?
• 6:59
  Don't you think he's going to defer to Heim Bloom who's going
• 7:02
  to be running the baseball OPS for the next 5 years?
• 7:06
  That's what I'm saying. Don't you think that's how it's
• 7:08
  really going to go? And again, they'll probably
• 7:11
  agree on some things. Hey, we like these two guys.
• 7:14
  Hey, we need one more pitcher in this deal.
• 7:16
  Hey, I like this shortstop at single AI, like this lefty, you
• 7:22
  know, that's at AA. Hey, let's defer to Heim on
• 7:25
  this, right? John Mosaic in his last year.
• 7:28
  Heim Bloom is going to be there for at least five years.
• 7:31
  Hell, maybe he'll be here for 30 years like John Mosaic was.
• 7:36
  But I'm just saying, I don't think John Mosaic is truly going
• 7:40
  to be running the show when he's already named his successor and
• 7:44
  Heim Bloom's in place. I don't think there's going to
• 7:46
  be any big decision for the Cardinals starting the second
• 7:51
  the World Series ends and you start to have player activity
• 7:54
  there. I don't think there's going to
• 7:55
  be any decision that John Mosaic and the Cardinals make or
• 7:59
  Heimbloom is not heavily involved.
• 8:02
  If not kind of the final, the final boss, the final stamp on
• 8:10
  any deal. Don't you think that's fair to
• 8:11
  say? You guys agree or disagree with
• 8:14
  that? And then so, so tell me if you
• 8:16
  think I'm wrong To me now knowing you've set up Heimbloom
• 8:21
  in place, knowing Turner Ward's gone and John Mosaic is gone
• 8:28
  after 2025, which we essentially knew was going to happen.
• 8:32
  I know a lot of you wanted Oligon and a lot of you wanted
• 8:35
  John Mosaic to immediately resign.
• 8:38
  But is that enough change for you in terms of front office
• 8:41
  management? It is for me.
• 8:43
  Like it's not perfect, but I'm not going to complain at this
• 8:46
  point once they they parted ways with Turner Ward, I feel like
• 8:51
  that was enough substantive change.
• 8:53
  Remember also, I haven't even mentioned Michael Gersh moving
• 8:56
  from general manager to whatever that title is, VP of special
• 9:01
  projects, right? And also Gary Lorac, when he
• 9:06
  stepped aside about a month or 2-3 weeks ago, whatever it is,
• 9:10
  player development, where you knew there's going to be a new
• 9:13
  player development coordinator or supervisor or whatever the
• 9:16
  hell that title is. Look, Heim Bloom's going to hire
• 9:18
  somebody that he trusts, and that's the way it should be.
• 9:21
  So that's pretty much my spiel on that.
• 9:25
  I want to hear from you guys once again, this live stream
• 9:28
  brought to you by Triad Bank, Triad banking.com, Saint Louis
• 9:31
  Lawn Care, Saint Louis Equipment, which is
• 9:34
  stlmowerrepair.com and Corner Butcher in Fenton and Chophouse.
• 9:40
  So here we go. OK, how about this Brandon
• 9:47
  Smith? We want your boy from Cleveland.
• 9:48
  I was half kidding about that, but not really.
• 9:51
  My buddy with the Guardians, Dan Puente is an assistant hitting
• 9:54
  coach first year in the big leagues.
• 9:56
  So and he's my age, so he's about 43.
• 9:59
  So could he be a big league hitting coach next year?
• 10:03
  I mean, look, and the Guardians been really good.
• 10:05
  I hope he's a big league hitting coach soon.
• 10:08
  He's an assistant now. That was kind of half kidding,
• 10:10
  but I do think that he's actually qualified, clearly.
• 10:14
  Funny thing, I, I've, I've talked about this on the radio.
• 10:17
  I actually sent John Mosaic his resume about 15 years ago when
• 10:22
  he was, he had been scouting a little bit for the Astros.
• 10:26
  So maybe this was more like 12 years ago.
• 10:29
  And I was wondering because that's after Luna left.
• 10:32
  So I wonder if that kind of hurt him, the fact that he had
• 10:35
  scouted for the Astros and I'm sure there was some some bad
• 10:39
  blood with Luno and them leaving and then the secrets and the
• 10:42
  Chris Correa and the hacking and all that.
• 10:44
  But either way, it's all good. I'm very happy for my buddy
• 10:48
  who's the assistant hitting coach of the Cleveland
• 10:50
  Guardians. How about that game?
• 10:52
  Did you watch that? I didn't watch the game, but I
• 10:53
  saw the the three run bomb from is it Carrie Carpenter off Class
• 11:01
  A who's like unhittable. But that was a freaking.
• 11:04
  That was a weird pitch. It was a slider.
• 11:07
  It was one of those cement mixers.
• 11:08
  Apparently that just doesn't move because it freaking fell
• 11:12
  right into his bat path. That class AI don't know how
• 11:15
  anybody hits him. Honestly, he's ridiculous.
• 11:19
  OK, Sam, I am. Are they trading off Aronado, Do
• 11:23
  we think? Probably trading off Sonny Gray,
• 11:25
  right. Here's the deal.
• 11:26
  If I'm Aronado, I want out. And and here's where I will also
• 11:32
  I admit when I'm wrong, folks. OK, most of the time I've always
• 11:37
  been saying about Arenado, about how much money his contract is
• 11:42
  going forward. And I know he was making
• 11:44
  35,000,000 a year. So I've kind of in my brain
• 11:47
  thought, oh, who's going to want him for 35,000,000?
• 11:50
  His contract in these last couple years is much more
• 11:53
  manageable. And I did this I think last week
• 11:56
  in the live stream. I'm looking it up right now.
• 11:58
  So Arenado making 32,000,000 this coming year, 20252026
• 12:05
  making 27 million, 2027 making 15,000,000.
• 12:08
  And by the way, 10 million of those dollars the first two
• 12:11
  years paid by the Colorado Rockies.
• 12:14
  So think about this. That's 59.
• 12:17
  That's 69. That's 74,000,000 / 3 years and
• 12:22
  10 million paid by the Rockies. So that is, if my math is good,
• 12:26
  right, 59. So that's 74,000,000 -, 10
• 12:30
  that's $64 million. That would be the the payroll
• 12:34
  obligation for another team over the next three years.
• 12:38
  We're basically talking $21 million a year for Nolan
• 12:42
  Aronado. That is pretty Dang manageable,
• 12:46
  right? That's that's a big difference
• 12:48
  than the 35,000,000 a year that he was making.
• 12:50
  Again, he's making 32 next year. That's a lot, 27 that's a lot.
• 12:55
  But there's a big break in that final year for 15,000,000 bucks.
• 12:59
  So again, if you're looking at it from an AAV standpoint, minus
• 13:03
  the 10 million that the Rockies are going to pay, that's a
• 13:06
  little over $21 million a year, which is pretty fair for Nolan
• 13:11
  Arenado, even as he's aging. If it was 35,000,000, I'd say
• 13:15
  hell no. But that's a pretty fair deal
• 13:18
  for whichever team gets Nolan Arenado.
• 13:21
  So maybe you don't have to eat any or a lot of that salary and
• 13:24
  maybe you can get a a pretty good sized prospect Hall.
• 13:27
  Like I said, if I'm Arenado, I want out.
• 13:30
  If I'm Sonny Gray, I probably want out.
• 13:34
  What do you think, Sonny Gray? Also remember his deal is the
• 13:39
  opposite. Let's look it up.
• 13:40
  His deal is the opposite. He had a bunch of deferred
• 13:43
  money. So wasn't he only making about,
• 13:45
  was it 10 or 15 this year? I don't remember, so I'll look
• 13:49
  it up. I don't have the greatest
• 13:51
  memory, guys. It happens.
• 13:53
  So he had the deferred money this year.
• 13:55
  Let's find it. Sonny Gray, 2024 made 10.
• 14:01
  So we're talking he's making 25,000,000 next year, 35 million
• 14:07
  in 2026. And remember he has that $30
• 14:09
  million team option for 2027 with a $5,000,000 buyout.
• 14:17
  So we're talking, look, he's he's owed $65 million, that
• 14:25
  includes the buyout. He's owed $65 million over the
• 14:31
  next two years if you include that buyout.
• 14:35
  And it could be the $30 million in his third year, the team
• 14:38
  option, which I don't know, maybe he'll be that good, maybe
• 14:42
  it's worth it, I don't know. But Sonny Gray, a team's going
• 14:45
  to pick him up for two years and 65,000,000.
• 14:50
  So that's 32 1/2 AAV. That's a lot.
• 14:53
  It's kind of the going rate for a really good starter.
• 14:56
  It's a short deal. So I think teams would be OK
• 15:00
  with that. More so obviously like a five
• 15:02
  year deal for a pitcher. So maybe you have to eat a
• 15:04
  little bit of the salary. I'm not sure.
• 15:06
  But if I'm Arenado, I want, I want out.
• 15:10
  Sonny Gray I probably want out, right.
• 15:14
  Especially if you're saying 2025 is a reset.
• 15:17
  He's coming back. 2026 would be his final year, guaranteed by
• 15:21
  the Cardinals. Wilson Contreras.
• 15:23
  You think he wants out? I don't know.
• 15:25
  We shall see. Going to be going to be
• 15:27
  fascinating, folks. Here we go, Sam.
• 15:30
  I am glass half empty. I'm glad they're changing in the
• 15:33
  sense they acknowledge we are rebuilding and not acting like
• 15:36
  they're really going big. Let's see, Al Joseph, they need
• 15:41
  that DEI Hire Marmole out of the dugout.
• 15:44
  He had two seasons to prove his lack of value.
• 15:46
  So now Marmole is ADEI hire. That's the only reason he got
• 15:49
  the job. He's young.
• 15:52
  I'm not a huge Marmole fan, but I don't know about DEI hire.
• 15:57
  I mean, they had a lot of white dudes for a long time, right?
• 16:03
  You got Larussa, you got Metheny, you got Schilty, you
• 16:10
  got Marmole. Now he's not a white, but you
• 16:13
  know what I'm saying? It's all good.
• 16:15
  I'm not. I'm not for the DEI higher
• 16:16
  stuff. I don't agree with you there.
• 16:20
  Mt 2330. I'm good with it.
• 16:22
  As in 2026 Bloom will fully set up his front office and probably
• 16:26
  a whole new coaching staff. Most likely 2025 will just be
• 16:30
  the reset year and finish in the 500 range.
• 16:36
  Sam, I am. I think they will hover around
• 16:38
  500 for a few seasons with a few losing seasons, then 20-30.
• 16:44
  They make some more runs for the World Series, man, it's only
• 16:46
  2024, so we have to wait until 2030.
• 16:51
  I can see them around 500. It would not surprise me if they
• 16:53
  made the playoffs next year. I know you might think that's
• 16:56
  crazy for me to say. I still like their position
• 16:59
  players, a new hitting coach, if they can get these guys going,
• 17:04
  right? I mean, Miles Michaelis, I'm not
• 17:07
  loving. Obviously, if Grey's around.
• 17:10
  Andre Palante, you're excited about him.
• 17:12
  Can one of these young pitchers take a step of Mcgreevy, you
• 17:16
  know, Graceffa, whatever the hell is going on with him, you
• 17:19
  know, Tink. Hence Quinn Matthews at the end
• 17:22
  of the season, probably not to start the season.
• 17:25
  But like I said, I don't think the Cardinals are going to be
• 17:27
  bad next year. I'm not going to predict right
• 17:29
  now. They make the playoffs.
• 17:30
  We got to see what happens. We got to see who leaves but I
• 17:33
  think the Cardinals will be around 500 ish next year.
• 17:38
  Let's see. Brandon Smith.
• 17:41
  I think MO can be a great mentor to Bloom.
• 17:43
  How many times did MO fleece other teams?
• 17:46
  That is a trade I want Bloom to have.
• 17:48
  Well MO fleece a lot of other teams early and he he did great.
• 17:53
  Obviously give him credit with the Arenado deal, give him
• 17:55
  credit with the Goldschmidt deal, but not a lot of great
• 17:58
  trades after that. Rosarena Ozuna, right?
• 18:06
  Let's be fair, Graham MO getting the hate for the coming Helsley
• 18:11
  trade is probably a good idea. Boomer fans would never forgive
• 18:14
  Bloom for trading Helsley. Give Bloom a clean slate.
• 18:17
  I agree with that, but it's like Ryan Helsley with one year to
• 18:20
  go. This isn't Mookie Betts, right?
• 18:23
  This isn't the Red Sox fans putting the Mookie Betts trade
• 18:27
  on Heimbloom, which, by the way, was not Heimbloom's fault.
• 18:30
  Helsley's great, but it's one year.
• 18:32
  It's a reliever. What is he, 3031?
• 18:34
  You have to pay him a lot. There's a lot of volatility for
• 18:38
  relievers. So I don't think anybody's going
• 18:41
  to be like, oh, like five years from now, oh, MO, you traded
• 18:45
  Ryan Helsley. Heimbloom, you traded Ryan
• 18:47
  Helsley. I don't think that's going to be
• 18:48
  the case. I think most Cardinal fans agree
• 18:52
  it's probably smart to trade him now.
• 18:53
  A lot of people want to trade him at the deadline.
• 18:55
  I did not. I still think it was the right
• 18:57
  move for the Cardinals to go for it.
• 18:59
  Right. You were too close to the
• 19:00
  playoffs after not making the playoffs in 2023 to just shut
• 19:05
  her down. The fans were already pissed.
• 19:07
  And by the way, look at what happened.
• 19:09
  The Cardinals played really well in September.
• 19:11
  I don't know what the hell happened in August right after
• 19:13
  the trade deadline. They had a nice little bump for
• 19:15
  a couple days after they picked up Fetty and Fam and then they
• 19:20
  they stunk. They stunk in August and that
• 19:23
  that knocked him out of the race.
• 19:24
  Then all of a sudden they're good again in September.
• 19:28
  So Sam, I am MO def will and should defer on big decisions.
• 19:33
  That's what I'm saying. That's why I'm not as I'm not as
• 19:36
  mad about MO not stepping down because Heimbloom is going to be
• 19:39
  in every big discussion, right? He's going to be in there.
• 19:43
  And I think, I think Hein Bloom will even have the final say to
• 19:46
  be honest with you. Like if he's, if he's going MO,
• 19:49
  we, we got to go this way. Do you really think MO in his
• 19:52
  final year is going to go against Hein Bloom knowing that
• 19:56
  Hein Bloom's going to be here for the next 5 years and MO's
• 19:58
  gone. MO's not a vindictive person
• 20:01
  like that. Again, MO MO wants the Cardinals
• 20:03
  to succeed and he wants to leave this, this organization better
• 20:09
  in his final year. OK.
• 20:13
  Sam I am, says Arnotto. I want out too if I'm him.
• 20:17
  That's what he said I believe. Ace.
• 20:20
  If MO and Ollie still here then they haven't done enough in my
• 20:23
  opinion. I get that and that's why I
• 20:24
  wanted to ask you guys that because I know a lot of you.
• 20:27
  Hell, what was the poll results like 94% wanted something, 9394%
• 20:33
  wanted MO going. Something like 8687%.
• 20:37
  I did a Twitter poll. It's not scientific but a huge
• 20:40
  number wanted Ollie gone like 8687%.
• 20:43
  So that's why I was wondering if you think it's enough with most
• 20:46
  stepping down after this year. Heimbloom coming in, Turner ward
• 20:51
  gone, Michael Gersh essentially demoted, Gary Larocque retiring.
• 20:56
  Is that enough substantive change front office wise for you
• 21:00
  guys? It is for me, but I understand
• 21:03
  if it isn't for a lot of you guys and gals.
• 21:06
  CJ is awesome. Shed payroll.
• 21:08
  Need to start with Kyle Gibson and Lance Lynn.
• 21:10
  Got to get younger on the pitching front.
• 21:11
  Maybe Matt's too. Yeah, but you can decline
• 21:14
  options on Lynn and Gibson. Matt's here's here's something
• 21:17
  that'll piss you guys off. Why wouldn't you want Matt's in
• 21:21
  a contract year, right? Steven Matt's in a contract year
• 21:25
  after being hurt fricking the entire three seasons.
• 21:29
  Doesn't this feel like his healthy year where he's good,
• 21:32
  right? It just does.
• 21:33
  Steven Matt's in a contract year.
• 21:35
  I'll take it. At least give him a shot, right?
• 21:37
  I'm not saying there should there should be expectations.
• 21:40
  I'm not saying he gets a spot in the rotation.
• 21:42
  I'm not saying anything. I'm saying I would, I would bet,
• 21:47
  I would bet on Steven Mats in a contract year after he's been
• 21:50
  hurt the whole freaking last three years.
• 21:52
  I mean, there's also just law of averages.
• 21:55
  The dude has to stay healthy for at least, you know, make 25
• 21:58
  starts eventually or maybe he's done.
• 22:01
  But I would I would bet on Steven Mats in a contract year
• 22:04
  to do something. See, it is awesome again.
• 22:08
  Just keep Gray Wilson are not on Halsey for now.
• 22:10
  Halsey is not as valuable. Lots of free agent closers.
• 22:14
  OK, how about this Sam I am Marmol isn't ADEI hire.
• 22:20
  He is a yes man hire. OK.
• 22:24
  Yeah. And cheap I assume too.
• 22:28
  Well, certainly was cheap at the beginning.
• 22:30
  I don't know what he's making now, but unproven, right?
• 22:34
  He's not this Terry Francona, big name, big salary manager
• 22:38
  that can go up into the front office and say, hey, I need
• 22:40
  this, right? He doesn't have the juice.
• 22:43
  We thought Schulte maybe even had the juice.
• 22:46
  After a while. He did not.
• 22:47
  He found out very quickly he did not.
• 22:52
  John Shank thoughts on Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman for
• 22:55
  2025? I was hoping they took a step in
• 22:59
  2024. I got to think they got to be
• 23:02
  better. Walker clean slate.
• 23:05
  I think Walker's going to be better.
• 23:07
  You got to stop jacking around him up and down and all that.
• 23:11
  Nolan Gorman, I mean, is he just, is he what he is?
• 23:16
  Is he a 30 Homer? Guys going to hit $1.80.
• 23:19
  I don't know if next year, here's the deal.
• 23:21
  Here's another thing. If this is truly a reset, I
• 23:25
  don't want to say who cares, but who cares in the sense of let
• 23:28
  both those dudes get 500 ABS or let them get so many ABS that
• 23:33
  you figured out one way or the other, right?
• 23:36
  And I know they're young, so I'm not saying their career is going
• 23:38
  to be defined by next year. But if next year's a reset, then
• 23:43
  let Jordan Walker play every day, let Nolan Gorman play
• 23:47
  almost every day and see what they got and see if they can
• 23:51
  work through this. Because you also have to know
• 23:53
  what you have. If you're going to kind of start
• 23:55
  over in 2026 really trying to compete, you have to know what
• 23:59
  you have to a certain degree with Jordan Walker and and Nolan
• 24:03
  Gorman. Are you guys good at that, don't
• 24:05
  you think? Look, if you're already saying
• 24:07
  payrolls lower roll those dudes out there.
• 24:10
  See what you have. Their first round draft picks.
• 24:12
  They're super talented. You got to.
• 24:14
  You got to give them a shot. Let's see, Sam, I am Charlie.
• 24:19
  Your point on making the playoffs with the younger
• 24:21
  players is valid. They have been pulling the most
• 24:23
  of the weight the last couple years anyway.
• 24:24
  It could definitely happen if the magic is there.
• 24:26
  Yeah, I agree. It would not.
• 24:27
  It would not surprise me that much if the Cardinals won 85
• 24:30
  games and and just kind of found their way into the playoffs.
• 24:34
  But also could they win 80 games and not make the playoffs?
• 24:37
  Who knows? We have to see what the roster
• 24:39
  looks like as well. Sam, I am, he's prolific today.
• 24:44
  Am I wrong? And I appreciate that I'm not,
• 24:47
  I'm not even kidding you. Am I wrong to think whoever the
• 24:49
  manager is is irrelevant right now?
• 24:53
  Yes. No you are not wrong because to
• 24:58
  me if you don't like Ali after next year, clean slate new
• 25:02
  manager with Hein Bloom coming in 2026.
• 25:05
  I agree Ollie is not the biggest problem.
• 25:09
  And also if you're going to hire a new manager, what if Hein
• 25:11
  Bloom OK, you'd hire a guy that Hein Bloom wants, I get it.
• 25:15
  But let Ollie finish out 2025. You also can evaluate Ollie with
• 25:20
  a new hitting coach. Maybe things change.
• 25:23
  And then if you want to move on from Ollie, clean slate Hein
• 25:26
  Bloom. Let him choose his manager 2026.
• 25:29
  I agree on that, although I'm not a huge Ollie guy but I think
• 25:34
  to be determined. My whole thing with Ollie was I
• 25:36
  didn't think you should get the contract extension before the
• 25:38
  season. I thought that sent a bad
• 25:40
  message. Diana good body it starts.
• 25:44
  Is that your real name? Diana good body it starts with
• 25:47
  management from upper to lower. If that doesn't change,
• 25:50
  everything else is useless. Agreed.
• 25:53
  But there's been pretty big change right?
• 25:57
  I know you want Mosaic to step aside, but I think the shift
• 26:00
  behind Bloom is bigger than a lot of people think.
• 26:03
  I I think he's going to be the the number one decision maker on
• 26:07
  things that really matter. Also in 2025, let's see news
• 26:13
  with Nick. I want to see what these guys do
• 26:15
  with a new voice hitting wise, because obviously Ward wasn't
• 26:18
  working out. That's for sure.
• 26:20
  I agree. Then I agree with I agree.
• 26:22
  Look like let's see Walker, let's see Gorman.
• 26:26
  Let's see all these guys with some new voices and see if
• 26:30
  anything changes. And then look, you can change
• 26:32
  the hitting step. You can change the entire field
• 26:35
  staff, you can change the entire coaching staff in 2026, right?
• 26:40
  If things don't work out, everybody new manager, let him
• 26:43
  bring in all his own guys. So I agree with that.
• 26:47
  You, Mama. I would trade Helsley.
• 26:49
  I would too. I would keep Gray maybe, but I
• 26:53
  understand trading Gray. I'm kind of 5050 on that one.
• 26:57
  Also, if if Gray wants to leave, let him leave to me.
• 27:00
  If Walker, Gorman and Matthews emerge, you could win with Gray,
• 27:03
  Matthews, Fetty, Palante, Mcgreevy, I think, I think
• 27:07
  asking Matthews to be a big contributor for the whole year
• 27:12
  is asking a lot. I think he makes his appearance,
• 27:16
  his debut, cup of coffee, something at the end of the
• 27:18
  year, maybe bullpen, maybe start spot, start right.
• 27:22
  I don't think he's going to make the team out of out of spring.
• 27:25
  We shall see though. Let's see.
• 27:28
  Sink or swim. Patrick Longshanks.
• 27:31
  Yes. I think he's talking about
• 27:32
  Gorman and Walker. I agree, Graham.
• 27:35
  Excited to see what changes they make to hitting philosophy.
• 27:38
  So frustrating. Our sluggers stall at the big
• 27:40
  league level. It was heartbreaking to watch
• 27:41
  Gorman this year. I want him to succeed so bad.
• 27:44
  Me too. CJ is awesome.
• 27:47
  Bet yeah, Sonny Gray will be even better next year with a
• 27:51
  whole year to adjust the Bush and the division.
• 27:53
  Yeah, I get you. I get you Sam, I am.
• 27:56
  Dang, I forgot about giving Ollie the contract extension so
• 27:59
  early lol. Do we have ideas why that was in
• 28:02
  hindsight? Well, they didn't want the
• 28:05
  Cardinals to start off crappy, which they did.
• 28:07
  And then everybody calling for Ollie's job because people would
• 28:10
  have also. I mean look, Ollie's Ollie's to
• 28:14
  blame, but the offensive Staffs to blame.
• 28:16
  The players are to blame also. I mean, I'm not taking the
• 28:18
  blame. It's easier to fire coaches and
• 28:21
  front office people. But look, Goldie wasn't good.
• 28:24
  Arnotta wasn't good. I agree they've been jacking
• 28:27
  around Jordan Walker, but also it's on Jordan Walker to be
• 28:31
  good. It's on Nolan Gorman to be good.
• 28:33
  These are adults. These guys are what, 21234
• 28:36
  whatever it is like there. There's a lot of blame that
• 28:39
  needs to go to these players. Also, MTP.
• 28:42
  Hey, Charlie, what's up? Mark H CJ is awesome.
• 28:47
  Sonny was very good at Bush Stadium 2.
• 28:48
  Yes, 2025 may be a wash. I don't think it'll be that bad.
• 28:52
  I think it'll be OK, right? Let's see Patrick Longshanks.
• 28:57
  Haim has a most sized body shield to make the transmission.
• 29:02
  The not change the transmission, the transition.
• 29:05
  Yes. No, I agree.
• 29:06
  I, I, I, I think it makes strategic sense for MO to hang
• 29:09
  around anything good or bad. If it's good, you can say OK MO
• 29:12
  in his last year, he was OK. If it was bad, you can say, all
• 29:15
  right, it was MO in his last year.
• 29:17
  You don't blame Haim, the guy taking over for the next 5 years
• 29:20
  and you can let him just start with a nice clean slate.
• 29:23
  I agree MTP, Mark H, we get to see all our former players in
• 29:29
  the playoffs though. How about my guy Patrick Tui?
• 29:34
  Shouldn't the manager have some Barry on players playing up to
• 29:36
  their potential? Look how San Diego is playing
• 29:38
  better with Shield. Yeah, I agree.
• 29:40
  That's why I look. This is sink or swim for Ollie
• 29:42
  too. If they moved on from Ollie, I
• 29:45
  would get it. They're not going to.
• 29:47
  So this is Ollie's make or break year.
• 29:48
  Also, if if they don't see some improvement, I think Ollie's
• 29:52
  Ali's gone also. And not just I'm not saying wins
• 29:55
  and losses, right, the direction of some of these younger, some
• 29:58
  of these younger hitters also. Yes, Sam, I am plenty of blame
• 30:03
  to go around. Yeppers.
• 30:06
  And how about Keith Adams? I just don't see the benefit of
• 30:09
  having the guy who caused the reset to be there.
• 30:12
  I understand and I said that last week.
• 30:14
  I just think, by the way, like my shirt Jags our sponsor on the
• 30:19
  Kenny Wallace YouTube channel. By the way, huge news coming on
• 30:22
  the Kenny Wallace YouTube channel coming up later today.
• 30:26
  Huge news. I'm talking in about 2-3 hours.
• 30:29
  Make sure you subscribe Kenny Wallace YouTube channel.
• 30:32
  Everybody settle down if you guys like news and politics.
• 30:35
  And then of course, this channel for the Cardinals.
• 30:38
  Let's see, Sam, I am. I don't like the Padres
• 30:42
  necessarily, but I love Shield, so I hope they win for that
• 30:45
  reason. And I hate the Dodgers.
• 30:46
  Of course, of course, of course. You Mama.
• 30:50
  Do you think they make any free agent signings?
• 30:52
  I say if you're not going to bring any big names in 30 bombs
• 30:55
  or a top end starter, just don't play the guys we have.
• 30:59
  I agree. If you're cutting payroll, look,
• 31:02
  they're going to be shedding payroll.
• 31:05
  Look, right now, aren't you good with their position players for
• 31:08
  next year? I'm not saying you're going to
• 31:10
  go to the World Series with them and and maybe you have to change
• 31:13
  some guys out for 2026, but I'm OK with seeing what these
• 31:16
  position players do for 2025. I I still am high on a lot of
• 31:21
  these dudes. Let's see here.
• 31:26
  Good on you Kenny Wallace show yes, we had 111,000 subscribers
• 31:29
  on that Channel growing very well.
• 31:30
  And again, huge news coming up later today.
• 31:34
  Sam, I am I moved to Wichita recently.
• 31:36
  So I'm a bandwagon Royals fan for October.
• 31:39
  Yeah, how about that in terms of who you guys rooting for in the
• 31:43
  playoffs here? I've watched a little bit of
• 31:45
  baseball. I watched, I watched early the
• 31:50
  Zach Wheeler game for the Phillies when he pitched really
• 31:54
  well. Schwarber hit the lead off Homer
• 31:57
  and then what? The Mets came back in that game,
• 32:00
  right? And then what else have I
• 32:02
  watched? I haven't really watched a ton.
• 32:05
  I mean, I watched a lot of the highlights and what not on on X.
• 32:08
  Are you guys like that? I almost watch sports now on
• 32:11
  Twitter through the highlights, right?
• 32:14
  And that Carrie Carpenter Homer. I'm very into this when I say
• 32:19
  I'm very into it. I haven't even watched.
• 32:20
  But like in theory, because where I'm from Toledo, OH, about
• 32:24
  2/3 Tigers fans plus the Tigers AAA team Toledo Muddens is there
• 32:29
  about 1/3 Indian slash guardians fan.
• 32:32
  So the fact that they're playing, I wish they weren't
• 32:34
  playing. It'd be cool if both of them had
• 32:36
  a chance to advance. I got to go for the Guardians.
• 32:40
  I'm going for the Guardians for my buddy.
• 32:43
  Although my dad's a Tigers fan, so I can't lose there.
• 32:46
  Whoever wins, I would love to see the Royals take take down
• 32:50
  the big bad Yankees. I want to see Sheltie take down
• 32:54
  the Dodgers and then man, Mets, Phillies.
• 32:58
  I'm a big fan of the Phillies, right?
• 33:01
  The Mets feel like they got a vibe going right now, but the
• 33:03
  last couple years, Speaking of vibes, I thought the Phillies
• 33:06
  were going to win the World Series last year.
• 33:08
  I just like the Phillies, man. I like their vibe.
• 33:11
  I like the feel of that team. I love the stadium.
• 33:15
  There always seems to be a ton of energy in that ballpark.
• 33:19
  You look at their lineup and I I can't go all the way down the
• 33:22
  line, but I was watching the first inning the other day who
• 33:27
  they got Also, they got the was it Marsh and is it stock?
• 33:31
  But but look at their first what?
• 33:33
  Their first four? And if I'm wrong on those names,
• 33:36
  I can't remember exactly, but their first 4 is what?
• 33:39
  Schwarber, Trey Turner, Bryce Harper, Castellanos.
• 33:46
  I mean, that's a freaking nasty lineup to start.
• 33:50
  And then you got Zach Wheeler was thrown in that game and he
• 33:55
  just looks unhittable at times. I mean, he was thrown 9798
• 34:00
  looked like late movement. So yeah, the Phillies.
• 34:05
  I'd love to see Schulte win a World Series.
• 34:07
  I feel like the Phillies deserve to win a World Series.
• 34:11
  I'm not a Yankees guy. I don't really think the Royals
• 34:14
  deserve to win the World Series. Like who deserves it?
• 34:17
  The Dodgers probably deserve it. It's been so freaking long.
• 34:21
  I know they won in in COVID, but so if I had to pick, if I had to
• 34:26
  pick, I'm going to pick the Guardians for my buddy because
• 34:29
  that would be awesome. Plus, I'd be going to the World
• 34:32
  Series for sure. I'd make my way to the World
• 34:35
  Series at least one game for him.
• 34:38
  National League, it's easy. It's for sure either Padres or
• 34:44
  Phillies that I want to win. I think I like the Phillies
• 34:48
  more. I like Schulte.
• 34:50
  I want to see Schulte win, but also like, I'm not a Manny
• 34:52
  Machado guy. What do you think of him and
• 34:57
  Jack Flaherty? John, what do you think of
• 35:00
  Flaherty after not having a good outing, telling him to sit the F
• 35:03
  down even though Flaherty didn't pitch well?
• 35:06
  What do you guys think of that? Either way, I like it.
• 35:09
  It's entertaining. OK, let's see.
• 35:13
  I'll read a couple more here. Bobby Lee Johnson.
• 35:17
  Hey Charlie, are the Cardinals in a three-year rebuild of 81
• 35:20
  and 81? No, maybe next year. 81 and 81.
• 35:23
  It wouldn't surprise me if they could be better in 2026.
• 35:28
  Let's see Sam, I am. Great job on Kenny Wallace
• 35:30
  channel. Getting so big 100K means you
• 35:32
  get the silver plaque, right? Yep, the silver play button.
• 35:37
  We got that a couple months ago, about 3 months ago.
• 35:39
  It's in Kenny's office. I think I can get one myself.
• 35:42
  I just never looked into it. I don't really care.
• 35:46
  I guess I would like to have the trophy actually, but it's not a
• 35:49
  huge deal. My goal is to get 100K on my
• 35:52
  own. Can we do it on this channel?
• 35:54
  Probably not. The Cardinals aren't a big
• 35:55
  enough niche. That news and politics channel,
• 35:58
  that's a big niche. We just have to keep it up. 100K
• 36:03
  would take a long time though. We're only at about four.
• 36:06
  Maybe 4500. I can't even remember.
• 36:09
  Maybe it's 3500, you Mama. I'm torn between cheering for
• 36:14
  the underdogs, Royals, Tigers, Guardians and wanting to see
• 36:16
  Otani. Otani versus Judge would be
• 36:18
  awesome too. No, I agree with that.
• 36:20
  Yeah, I would not be mad about Otani versus Judge.
• 36:22
  That would be a Titanic, mammoth matchup.
• 36:26
  Keith Adams I love watching the Midwest in the playoffs.
• 36:29
  Cleveland, KC, Detroit. Me too.
• 36:31
  I hear you. Bobby Lee Johnson Yanks, Dodgers
• 36:34
  in World Series. I think so, but yuck. 2 teams I
• 36:36
  hate that would be fun to watch though.
• 36:38
  I'm not really a fan of either, but it'd be fun to watch.
• 36:41
  I like the big name teams as well.
• 36:44
  Let's see, how much did Strauss pay for the logo and all the
• 36:47
  batting helmets? So what team is that?
• 36:51
  Is it for every team? Strauss.
• 36:52
  Strauss. What company is that?
• 36:54
  I don't even know. It's not Levi Strauss jeans,
• 36:57
  right? I saw because what?
• 36:59
  KC has QuikTrip, which I love. I'm a QuikTrip fan.
• 37:02
  I saw the Yankees. I'm talking about the patch.
• 37:05
  I like the QuikTrip patch for the Royals.
• 37:07
  That just feels right. Yankees have some insurance
• 37:10
  agency. Yeah, I didn't even notice that.
• 37:12
  Strauss, Strauss, whatever it is, is on every helmet.
• 37:15
  What company is that? What do they do?
• 37:18
  Let's see, What is the politics channel called again?
• 37:21
  It's called Everybody Settled down.
• 37:22
  That's myself and Eric Messersmith, who's a contributor
• 37:25
  on Fox News. Petco will have them at 78.
• 37:30
  Pakoda, you mean will have the Cardinals at 78 wins?
• 37:32
  Probably, yes. Every batting helmet has Strauss
• 37:35
  or Strauss. Yeah, I guess it's not doing a
• 37:38
  great job of advertising if I don't even know that.
• 37:41
  But I haven't been watching a ton and I don't even know what
• 37:43
  they do. I don't know what even what
• 37:45
  they, what they make or what the hell industry they're in.
• 37:49
  OK, I'll tell you what, let's call it guys.

  right now. I got to look.

  politics. There we go later, Char dog

  All right, guys, I'm done. We'll try to do at least one of
• 43:32
  these per week and definitely if there's big cardinal news, we'll
• 43:36
  jump on. I feel like this channel is only
• 43:38
  for Cardinals. I try to talk about other stuff
• 43:41
  and you guys aren't as into it, which is fine.
• 43:43
  So it'll be mostly Cardinals, but we can always go off on
• 43:46
  tangents. Have a great day, Bobby Lee
• 43:49
  Johnson, YouTube. All right, we'll call it.
