Katie Woo, writing for The Athletic, has a Q and A with St. Louis Cardinals’ president of baseball operations John Mozeliak on just how terrible the team has played all season.

I think any answer I give is just going to seem like an excuse, and I’ve been in this business long enough to know that throwing up excuses is not something our fan base wants to hear. Reality is we got off to a very, very poor start in April. We dug a very, very deep hole. May, we had a bounce back, and now we’re trending in the wrong direction again. When you look at the team as a whole, it’s not any one thing that sticks out. When things are going bad, I do think internally the pressures mount.

Mo is never going to take any responsibility here. Blame simply goes downhill.

Something has to be done.

Nothing is going to be done.
