Bernie Miklasz, writing for Scoops with Danny Mac, explains in no uncertain terms who has the power to fix the St. Louis Cardinals.

DeWitt controls all of this. He can change all of this. He received immense and justifiable praise for all that he’s done since his ownership group purchased the Cardinals before the 1996 season. It’s been a hugely successful era, but the greatness is gradually fading. The reality is underlined by his team’s 5-17 record in the last 22 postseason games — a bleak October-ball decline that includes a 1-9 mark in the last 10 playoff games.

Reality doesn’t mess around.
