I understand that, but I've come around on Oli.

I think Marmol deserves to be the manager going forward. Here's why.

He's way better at bullpen management than the 2 Mikes were.

Despite having a poorly constructed overly left handed lineup, game to game he does match ups that give the Cards an edge.

The kids who have been struggling longest (Gorman and Walker especially) haven't quit - they're still working still smiling.

On a young team like STL, that is no small skill.
