From the 4th worst baserunning team in baseball over the Matheny's tenure to the absolute best since (a staggering -36 base runs lost under Matheny vs. 18 created since Shildt took over).
The 2019 Cardinals have the 2nd best bullpen ERA in baseball despite losing Hicks and feeling all season for ANY lefthanded reliever that doesn't suck dicks. This is after the bullpen ERA improved a quarter of a run after he took over last year despite the same crew.
This is a team who's collective win shares should yield a 67-64 team when it's actual record is 73-58; they're 15 games above .500 when their true talent says they should be
three games over. Six games in the standings that you're hand-waiving.
There is NO objective criteria whereby you can say that the areas that a manager has the most impact over aren't at/near an elite level for the Cardinals.
Let's hear your argument to the contrary. Or are you just gonna type "LoL" again like the mouth-breathing half-wit you've exposed yourself as on this thread hundreds of times in the past?
