the local papers could have fun with those headlines

if they are anything like the NY Post: "Cardinals Take a Shildt"

seriously though

he won games at a .550 clip. Kind of surprising.

I kind of like

"Cardinals Lose Their Shildt", but yeah, pretty high standards in St Louie, unless there was something else going on.

I guess they thought team underperformed

Or Yadier Molina is retiring so they want him as next manager

Fired over philosophical differences.

I guess going 0-11 with runners on last week versus Dodgers is just bad philosophy.

Molina just signed a new contract and announced this will be his last season (2022)

Holy Shildt!

If the Yankees don't at least interview him count on more of the same in the Bronx.

implied this was done now (vs. later) in case the Mets/Padres were interested.

Schildt is awful…

surprised he lasted as long as he did…

Caught lightning in a bottle

2ndhalf of the season, then couldn’t hit at showtime, fired their coach.
Sounds, familiar….except the firing thing.
