We'll get your thoughts on what we all got to hear from Heim Bloom and a little bit of John Moseilock on Monday. But we start with what we got on

Starting point is 00:01:08 Tuesday. The fresh voice has finally spoken. The changing of the guard, the turning of the page, the passing of the torch, whatever cliche you want to use. Bottom line is John Moseilock is out and Heinbloom is in as your new president of baseball operations. And he spoke on Tuesday. And I know fans want instant knowledge about things like who's going to get traded and who's going to get extensions, what's going on with the coaching staff moving forward, et cetera. And those things will come in time. And he did head on those subjects a little bit. But for the most part, it was more of a, you know, a state of the union,

Starting point is 00:01:45 but instead state of the Cardinals address, if you will, and how they plan to move forward with Hymn running the show. I suppose the best place to start here is one thing that we did get some clarification on. And he didn't actually say this in the press conference itself. but the first person I saw report on this was Frank Kusimano, that Ali Marmal is going to be back as the manager of the team for next season. If you watched yesterday's episode, you know that this doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Starting point is 00:02:14 He still had a year left on his contract. He's already got a rapport with the players, ownership, and with the team in this state of flux right now like it is, bringing in a new manager, at least to me, didn't seem like something that they would do. You know, now in the press conference, he did address the on-field staff a little bit when he said, as far as our field staff goes, there's still some things we need to sort out with every single person on the staff. I expect a lot of continuity.

Starting point is 00:02:41 It's a good group of people that care. And this aligns with what I thought was going to happen. I said it yesterday. Heinbblum's not coming in to just blow this thing up into smitherey. That's not what he's doing. he's not getting rid of all the coaching staff that has been here under Moseilocks watch despite some opinions. This isn't really the top priority to get this thing back on track.

Starting point is 00:03:08 I don't put as much blame on the coaching staff as I do just on players in general. I've said this before and I'll continue to say it over and over again that talent is the most important thing that you need right now. You have to have talented players on your right. roster, then find a manager that can get the most out of that particular talent day in and day out. Right now, the talent level on this roster is well below average. It just is when Brendan Donovan, and no offense to Brendan Donovan, but when Brennan is arguably the best player on your roster and has the highest war on your team,

Starting point is 00:03:49 that means your talent level is not even close to being where it needs to be to field a championship caliber team, which is the ultimate goal. Brennan Donovan's a solid player, and he's going to be a good player for this team or somebody else at some point, if that's what they decide to do. But he's not somebody you build a team around, right? You know, you're kind of building this thing around younger guys, the Mason wins and the Yvonne Herrera's and hopefully J.J. Weatherholz and stuff like that. If you're building around Brennan Donovan, then you're just going out to kind of go,

Starting point is 00:04:23 me let's see if we can get a win. The ultimate goal isn't to just compete each night. It's to win the whole freaking thing. Have a legitimate shot to do that every single year. And the problem with the Cardinals has been is as veterans like Paul Goldschman and Nolan Arnato rapidly declined, I don't think they've solved that their decline would be as quick as it was, considering how good they were both in 2022. And then for everything to just fall off a cliff in 2023 and not turn around the way they thought. I think that was a big problem. And when that went down,

Starting point is 00:04:59 the Cardinals didn't have anyone to come up and take those spots. It was supposed to be Nolan Gorman and Jordan Walker, but that hasn't happened, not even in the slightest. And I know there are a lot of people who don't like Ali, who don't think he's a very good manager, and that's fine. You're more than welcome to have that opinion. You shouldn't be ridiculed for it. There's an argument to say that maybe he's not a great manager.

Starting point is 00:05:23 I'm just not one of them. I'm just not somebody who feels that way. Does he make mistakes? Of course he does. Sure. All managers do. And he'll continue to make some mistakes. Nobody's perfect.

Starting point is 00:05:33 But I've said this since last year. And this is what stood out to me most about Ali moving forward was how did the players respond to them? You know, did he lose the clubhouse as he lost the locker room? Did they quit on? him. Do they look like they value his opinion? Does he have their trust? And from what I've seen over the last few years is that he absolutely does. You know, you don't see people looking at him. You know how like you'll see some of the NFL players. They go to the sideline and they kind of talk down to their coaches and kind of give off that jerk vibe or

Starting point is 00:06:14 whatever. I've never seen that from anybody in regards to Ali. You had the one tiff between him and Tyler O'Neill at one point, but that was very early on in his career. And I think he's learned from that from everything I've seen and heard, the clubhouse likes him, you know, ownership, the front office, they like him. When the talent level was at its highest during that first year that he came on in 2022, his rookie year as a manager, mind you. They went to the playoffs. They didn't win. They got beat by the Phillies, got upset by the Phillies. mistakes were made. Not saying there weren't. He undoubtedly has learned from those mistakes, though, at least I think so. I've seen him evolve as a manager and

Starting point is 00:06:57 become better. Do we feel that he's getting the best out of what he's got? I don't know, because the talent level has not ever been all that great. You know, how is he supposed to, is it his job to motivate Nolan Arnada to be the guy he was three years ago? Like, I'm sure he tries, but like, you know, it is what it is. There's a talent level that is there on that roster right now, and it's not nearly good enough. It's just not. And I don't care who the manager is.

Starting point is 00:07:35 If you're going to bring in any, who do you think is the best manager in baseball? They're probably managing a really freaking good team. You know, with Mike Schilt, If you want to bring them up, would Mike Schilt do better with this Cardinal team? I don't think so. I just think that the talent level is not where it needs to be for anybody to manage them and compete. Firing him and everyone around Ali and starting over, I just don't think that's the answer in my opinion.

Starting point is 00:08:00 Finding better talent is what you need to do and get those people in the door and for his staff to work with. And I think that will make the biggest difference on how soon this franchise is competing for a championship again. Does this mean that you're going to miss out on guys like Yaddy or Molina and Albert Pooholes as your manager? Maybe, maybe. You know, Skip Schumacher already is the odds on favor to takeover in Texas. That's who he's been with. So they let Bruce Bochie go, who's a fine manager, obviously. Most people think he'll go to the Giants.

Starting point is 00:08:33 But now that they've moved on from Bob Melvin. So Skip doesn't seem like that's going to be a thing. But I think Yadi is closer to being a major league manager than Albert Poolewell. holes is at this point. So we'll see what happens. But Ali is here for at least one more go-around. He's got one more year on his contract, and we'll see what happens after that. Like I said, yesterday's show, I am under the impression that they finish out the contract and then they move forward with somebody else. So this did not surprise me that he'll be back for at least one more year. Heim did address the talent level and what the immediate goals are for him and his staff. And he at least

Starting point is 00:09:12 didn't use that one trigger word when talking about it. So we'll discuss what he had to say next. Coming up on Locked on Cardinals.

We're also on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram at Lockdown Cardinals. All right, I'm going to say the word. Not everybody freak out when I do, but patience. Patience. There was. Patience. One of John Moseilok's favorite words during his tenure, something that this fan base has run out of when it came to Mo as the voice of this organization and of this team. I admitted as much that the franchise needed a fresh voice, someone who would do things perhaps differently than he would, and he understood that. And he said, you know, sometimes change is good. I've seen a lot of fan feedback already who, you know,

Starting point is 00:11:44 are just happy to have someone else speaking to them and representing the Cardinals organization. And I agree with those sentiments. Like it was nice to hear Heim Bloom up there doing what he was doing. And the way he spoke and the way he explained things, it was amusing during the press conference to me that, you know, you would hear Heim speak. And then when a question would be for Bill DeWitt, the third, more than Junior, junior, junior doesn't bother me so much. But Bill DeWitt, the third, he talks very much like Mo does, like it sounds just like Moe on the microphone. all over again, not the sound of his voice, but the way he speaks, very similar tones, very similar pacing to what they're saying. And I was just like, ah, no, I don't, I don't want to hear that voice. I'm over that one. But when Heim would speak, it was like a breath of fresh

Starting point is 00:12:36 air. It was to hear him explain things as opposed to the same Mo voice that we've heard for so long. I enjoyed that. And I think a lot of fans did it as well. We're going to get to some of that in the cardinal confessions in segment three plus he never did use that word patience he never said the word runway and for me that was awesome because i don't want to hear those words for a while i am so burned out on the word patience and runway like like i want to gag i want to gag hearing it like i'm done i don't need those words in the vocabulary anymore buying something else but what did he have to say? That's what really is most important.

Starting point is 00:13:21 And so as far as I'm going to go through a couple of the notes that I took when I was watching it. So as far as the goals of the organization moving forward, said his top priority is, and I completely agree with this, build the talent base. And to do so without any shortcuts, Haim has been part of two organizations now, the raise in the Red Sox where he was a key cog in developing players, building those farm systems up and making them, both one of the best in the business.

Starting point is 00:13:47 The Cardinals used to have that. That used to be their thing, and they have fallen flat in recent years. So that's something he's certainly going to try and turn around first and foremost. And you saw many of those changes in 2025 where, you know, they hired additional advisors and coaching and they're upgrading everything as far as getting the best tools for these players and for these coaches to use to get the most out of the players that they have. So they expect to continue to do things like that.

Starting point is 00:14:21 They said there will be more additional staff that's going to be brought on in the miners, although he said it wouldn't be quite on the scale as it was this past year when they had to bring in a lot, a lot of new minds. And that's fine, you know, but they're going to continue going in that direction. They asked him about the international free agents. And when Hym spoke about it, used the word critical, critical to describe how important the international talent pool is and that they will continue to invest in that. One of the things, you know, we've talked about free agency where the, you know, the Cardinals, they just, they don't want to compete with what these bigger market teams are paying for free agents. But if you can find them in the international talent pool first, give them, get them locked into your system.

Starting point is 00:15:10 another way to build that farm system up quickly, and those guys can become stars at the major league level. As far as the long and short term goals are concerned, he made it a point to say that if they have to choose a path, that they will always choose long term, but at the same time, that they will always be competing in the short term. They're not going to sacrifice long-term goals for like a quick fix, is what I took from that, which to me means that they aren't ever expecting to need to just blow up the roster or anything like that. Like the Minnesota Twins just did this past year where they traded like 10 dudes away at the deadline, just blew it up.

Starting point is 00:15:49 That's what that reminds me of, or I should say it reminds me, but it makes me think that they want to be in a spot where that never, ever, ever has to happen, where they never have to tear it all the way down and rebuild everything again. So that means no minimum level of talent, you know, no minimum level of spending where they're just counting pennies. Like they plan to compete and they plan to turn this thing around, but they're choosing long term over short term, which means don't expect in free agency this year for them to just go on some spending spree to try to get things turned over quicker. They're going to go with the young talent that's in the system.

Starting point is 00:16:32 speaking of payroll, speaking of spending, how would that look moving forward? I think it was STL today's Ben Hockman who asked about that. I think that's who it was. And Bill DeWitt Jr. answered, said it didn't really have any specifics on payroll at this time, but he said he didn't think he and Hym actually have even discussed payroll yet. But when Hym was asked about it by Jim Hays later in an interview, he said that he expects the resources to be there for what they are trying to do, which means, again, to me.

Starting point is 00:17:02 they're not going to go out and spend a gazillion dollars in this offseason. They're not. That's not what they're shooting for. That's not what this is going to be built around. It's going to be built around young talent, developing them, and then bringing in pieces to fit with those guys. One of my big issues with John Moseilock in recent years was that he had the funding. You know, it's not like the Cardinals weren't giving him money to play with,

Starting point is 00:17:29 and he would make bad decisions with that money until this. year the cardinals were always part of the upper half and spending in the league usually top 10 they just have to make better investments than what mo had done recently and like i said it was like they were always trying to fill a hole you know they were there there's like uh you know there's a dam and the water's coming through a hole would pop and they would try to fill it with one guy and then bloop bloop two more would pop open and they just kept doing that with their money instead of like well hold on hold on, let's be smart about this. They just kept patchworking things up,

Starting point is 00:18:03 and that kind of got them to where they are. When asked about the low attendance numbers, build it with the third, use these two words, message received. Message received. He also said that a winning team is most important in terms of attendance. But he also listed off a number of other contributing factors, like the parking prices, the concession value.

Starting point is 00:18:26 Spent a little extra time talking about safety, around the ballpark in downtown. But the fact that he started with winning stood out to me because that's really what the fans want. You put a winning product onto the field. Fans are going to come back. Like if you do things the right way and this team is exciting and fun to watch and they're winning more, you'll see the stands fill up again. But these other things that he listed are also reasons why some fans have decided to stay away.

Starting point is 00:18:57 Some fans just can't afford it. anymore. It's very expensive to go to a ball game. And I've seen the safety thing brought up a million times online where people are like, I'm not willing to get shot to go to a cardinal game. I'm sorry. I'm not going down there at night with things being as scary as they are. So these are all things that he brought up and said, yeah, you know, we're going to do our best to make sure that these are all upgraded and are better for the fans' experience so that they don't have to worry about stuff like this. But again, reiterated that when, winning is the most important thing in terms of attendance.

Starting point is 00:19:32 So message received by the empty seats that were throughout the stands this season at home. Katie Wu asked why the draft and developed method is best for the franchise. Bill DeWitt Jr. pointed out that their best years were when that's how they operated and that they have good young players coming to go along with some good young players that they currently have on the roster. And he's right. You know, you've got some good stuff here. J.J. Weatherhole, Quinn Matthews, Eishon Henderson.

Starting point is 00:19:59 Raynell Rodriguez, Ticoa Robi, Bryson Mottes, Tinkin's, Cooper Jerpy, Leonardo Bernal, Liam Dioz, Daniel Ortiz, Yado Padilla. All of these guys are the new core. They will be infiltrating the major leagues at some point in the next couple of years. At least that's the goal. Or they're going to be used to go acquire guys that will be part of the core moving forward. you pair them with guys you already have in place. Mason Wynn, Yvonne Herrera, Alec, Victor Scott, Thomas E. Jacey, Jimmy Crooks, Matthew Libertore, Kyle Leahy, Michael McGreevy, Matt Spons. These are all younger dudes that are already in the major leagues.

Starting point is 00:20:43 Will Gorman and Walker pan out ever? Hopefully. Are we banking on that anymore? Probably not after what we saw this year. but if they do great you mix that with veterans like brayden donovan and wilson contraris who's made it known that he would prefer to stick around and be a part of this process it's not like they just have nothing in the cupboard which is kind of where they were a couple years ago where it's just like we don't have jack down here in the miners to bring up and help um so there's a reason to be optimistic

Starting point is 00:21:18 when it comes to that just need a lot of these guys to hit right And when I say hit, I'm not talking about with the bat. I'm talking about hit as in becoming solid major league baseball players. And as I said, you surround those guys with pieces through free agency in trades. They desperately need a star player to emerge. You know, I'm still holding out hope that Mason Wynn can be that guy for them. Is it Yvonne Herrera? I don't know.

Starting point is 00:21:46 Can you be a superstar DH? You know, I mean, I know he's going to be trying to catching again. I don't know, but they desperately need something like that. They need a superstar to really get this thing cooking in the right direction. And hopefully there's a couple of them in there to lead the ways. J.J. Weatherholt is going to be that guy, maybe? You know, you saw the year the Josh Baez. Could he be somebody like that?

Starting point is 00:22:10 We'll find out. We'll find out. That's what this is all about. Heim did say he didn't want to draw a line on who's in and who's out. but clearly there's going to be some roster changes moving forward with Nolan Aronado and Sunny Gray obviously at the top of the list of guys that are more than likely going to get moved. Will Gorman or Walker be somebody that's on the move?

Starting point is 00:22:35 Will Berlinson or Donovan be somebody that's on the move? We don't know yet. We don't know yet. But obviously we'll be paying attention. All right. Next, your thoughts on your thoughts and comments on the press count. It's going to do kind of a cardinal confessions where I'm going to read some of the stuff that you guys were posting on our ex page. So, well, we'll do that coming up next here on Locked on Cardinals.

Starting point is 00:24:33 Tonight, obviously, we'll be talking about the first games of the wild card series. So it should be fun. Time for a little mini cardinal confessions. Got some reactions from fans about the press conference. So thank you to those of you who responded on X earlier today. As I mentioned at the beginning, a lot of fans seem to really enjoy Himes demeanor. They just kind of like the way he carries himself. some of the reactions a lot less condescending.

Starting point is 00:24:58 I love Bloom's humility and he felt more transparent. Could listen to Buddy Talk all day as a very positive vibe around it. Incredibly well spoken. I feel like he was honest, which is great, obviously. He didn't use the word patience, which is fantastic. You know, fresh voice, new blood, new aura surrounding things. There was just a vibe of positivity that he kind of had at the press conference today. very much a welcome change to what we've been used to with Moe where it was very dry,

Starting point is 00:25:30 you know, he sounded like the Bueller, Bueller, you know, Mo just talks that way. So to hear a different voice discussing these things and speaking the way he did, I think everybody liked it. Some things that stood out to fans. I'm in. They needed to reset how they approached development and younger player acquisitions. More energy than his predecessor seemed to be. talking to the fans. That it's going to be a successful tenure, but slow to get there. Before the press, or I was thinking, 2028, we'd be ready to legitimately compete. But now I think it'll be 2029 followed by long-term success, saying no more shortcuts.

Starting point is 00:26:10 We mentioned that earlier, where we're not going to take the easy road. We're going to stick to our guns. Long-term is what we're shooting for. That way we can sustain it even longer, like the person says here, the 2029 followed by long-term success. that's the ultimate goal. It's not one of these one year flash in the pan. Let's be good for a year and then tear it down and start it all over again. That's not what they want. We aren't where our fans expect us to be. That stood out to somebody, which is, yeah, they're not. Like, we don't expect to be 500. That used to be taboo to be around 500, and it's become

Starting point is 00:26:47 the norm over the last couple of seasons. And it's got to be better. It's got to be better. Another one here. transparent with what fans are telling them. It's all encompassing. It's not just their performance. It's that they're charging too much for everything. Parking concessions and tickets, lowering those will go a long way and addressing safety concerns. Some of the things that Bill DeWitt III spoke about was that, you know, it's more,

Starting point is 00:27:10 there's more things going on than just not winning, but not winning is the number one issue right now. And they want to fix that, get butts back in the seats. That way we can start having some fun at Bush Stadium again, because that was sad, just sad this year. Here's another one. They can't just throw money at the problem. They'll be back in the same spot in two years. Instead, they're picking a long-term path for long-term consistent winning baseball.

Starting point is 00:27:36 Exactly. That's the idea here. You know, it's stuff like this, like reading through some of these, I would say 98% of what I saw today was positive about what was said by Heinbloom and ownership. You know, this is why you guys get the nickname, best fans in baseball. you understand what it's going to take to turn this thing around. It's not going to be a quick fix. They aren't going to suddenly be the brewers in 2026 out of nowhere. Could they be better? Sure. Next year, there's a possibility of some of the, again, it's kind of what they were hoping for this year that some of the younger guys would take a step up and become better players. And that

Starting point is 00:28:17 would coincide with the veterans they have around them. And they would be a better team because of that. it just didn't happen. So maybe those young players that didn't take that next step, maybe they're a problem. And maybe there's other guys that should be getting chances over those guys. So we'll see. To have long-term success, though, number one, you have to have a strong farm system.

Starting point is 00:28:43 And like Bill DeWitt Jr. said in the press campus today, where our best years were when we had that going on, it all starts there. You develop star players, you know, the Molinas, the Wainwrights, the Albert Poole's, you know, you have those guys. And then you bring in other free agents that want to play with those guys. And that's how they built championships. You know, you make trades to receive star players with the good young talent that you have. You're able to flip them for the Matt holidays and the Scott and the Scott Rollins and the Jim Edmonds and those kind of guys.

Starting point is 00:29:20 although that was more of a Kemp Bottenfield thing, which was highway robbery. But you know what I'm saying, though, like you take guy, you know, these guys are like, hey, we see talent in your system. We'd like that. We'll give you one of these guys instead. And whether they pan out for those other teams, those are the, that's the other team's problem. But the Cardinals did that a lot and just kept flipping and flipping. And that's how they built championship teams.

Starting point is 00:29:43 So that are trying to get back to that. It's not rocket science. It's like, it's really not. And Hym has already proven twice that he can achieve those farm system goals and improvements that they're looking for. But it's going to take time because you don't just all of a sudden just get an influx of talent. You're like, yep, there it is. It takes a little bit to acquire it all.
