Now go get some players and we'll see what's up next year. Not a big Counsell fan, and I'm shocked they let Ross go...He wasn't the one making errors in the field those last 2 weeks... Although I've never been a fan of Ross either, I thought he did a good job for most of the 2nd half last year... Ah, well... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hope is that it prompts the Cardinals to actually go spend money and reclaim being the king of the division. But I’m not holding my breath on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's a Maddon move but get a good coach, open up the payroll, and we might be back up top in the division next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Ricketts are in Trib ownership territory as far as I'm concerned...Wasn't it just a month ago Ricketts was saying Ross did a great job and would be back? “I think Ross had a great season, and the players played hard for him,” Ricketts said. “He’s our guy. I like him a lot, and I think he had a good year. When the team got down, way below .500 and it looked like the season was over, he didn’t let it go. He got the guys back and playing hard. We got to here. He was a big part of that. I think he’s a great manager.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ross was decent, but definitely thought he made quite a few mistakes, especially with pitching decisions late in games. That said, I do hope Ross gets another shot with someone and wish him well. As for Counsell, I am happy with the hire. He was in demand for a reason. My only concern, is his lack of postseason success...but hopefully he turns that around with the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From there Jed (who is notoriously quiet) made the move. If I were guessing Ross will be offered some sort of front office position as a gesture (his call on whether to accept) and we go from there.

My Bob Knight side says if I were Ross and they offered me a front office job after publicly humiliating me like that, I'd tell them to shove it where the sun don't shine I don't know...Ownership saying "he's our guy" and then canning him a month later is a shitty way to do business... As I said, Counsell hasn't really done much to impress me between the lines...Hearing "He works well with the front office" screams "yes man" to me...

I was hoping he would go to the Mets. Didn't want him in the Central as he is a Reds killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
