Chaim Bloom: Cardinals Season Ending Press Conference
Q: You mentioned what you were able to succeed at during the season. When you go back to your preseason checklist, was there anything that you weren't able to accomplish this year?
While 77 wins on the preseason list is unlikely, the focus remained on progress, talent acquisition, and building a core that can sustain success over time rather than chasing short-term totals.
Jordan Walker Continues to Surge | Mondays with Mike | Cards Central 365
Q: How do you handle call timing during a big moment like a rookie getting called up and getting his first hit or homer?
We focus on getting it right, take time to tell the story, and pass along the call to the player so it can live on their phone as a keepsake.
Jordan Walker Continues to Surge | Mondays with Mike | Cards Central 365
Q: What are your thoughts on Jordan Walker's development this season?
Walker shows a disciplined approach, patience at the plate, and the ability to hit for power without trying to do too much, which is why there's optimism about his progress over a full season.
NL Central Power Rankings, The Cardinals Problem Nobody Wants to Say Out Loud | Cards Central 365
Q: What do the Cardinals need to do to climb into a better position in the division?
They need rival teams like the Reds to struggle with injuries and for their own young players to significantly improve.
Chaim Bloom on the Brendan Donovan Deal + Prospect Haul | STL Sports Central
Q: How do you balance speed and power with a lot of swing and miss in a player?
