Batting Wetherholt & Herrera 1-2 with this roster is optimizing the lineup and something a #BaseballMan like Marmol's self-identiIfied No. 1 influence as a manager, Mike Matheny, would never have done. Feels like a FO choice. #ChaimTime #Marmolytics #MidMgr

Contreras, 33, was signed as a free agent ahead of the 2023 season as the heir apparent catcher to Yadier Molina. His tenure in St. Louis got off to a rocky start behind the plate as he was temporarily removed from the catching spot with the encouragement of some underachieving starting pitchers. He would re-claim the spot before the season’s end, all the while providing his best offensive season in four years.
Mozeliak and Marmol laugh about a reporter using the passive voice instead of naming them.
"...he was temporarily removed from the catching spot with the encouragement of some underachieving veteran starting pitchers..."

Alec Burleson is in the 12th percentile of fielding value
The next time you hear or read about how Alec Burleson improved on defense, remind yourself that he's still one of the worst fielders in MLB. #Marmolytics
"Trading Contreras would open up first base full-time for Alec Burleson and could alleviate some payroll concerns."

Marmol is so not worried about his job that he's openly trashing Walker to John Denton, a ready, willing, and able water-carrier. #Marmolytics #LeaderOfMen #AIcoachbot

Worse No. 2 batter, Arraez or Winn?

Alec Burleson Rolling xwOBA 50 PAs thru 8/14/25
Burleson is a negative in the field and on the bases. I don't understand why Marmol has declared his spot in the lineup solidified. Maybe a 2-win player with a 120ish wRC+. Low upside. Deep downside when he's not hitting. #Marmolytics #LeaderOfMen
Alec Burleson has the skill set where a 125 wRC+ is necessary for a 2-win season. #STLCards #MoKnows #Marmolytics

I think calling the #STLCards bullpen "shorthanded" is mislead without reporting that they hamstrung themselves because the manager refuses to use Fernandez in a classic bit of #Mathenaging. Marmol won't use him even when trailing big &, as far as I know, hasn't said why. #Marmolytics #LeaderOfMen
Apparently the #STLCards are preaching 1988 Little League hitting philosophies to the org's top prospect. It's depressing that the org keeps falling further behind the MLB frontrunners on stuff like this. #CardinalWay #MoKnows #Marmolytics #LeaderOfMen #Winning www.stltoday.com/sports/profe...
