Fired Cardinals manager Mike Schildt moves into the commissioner’s office. It appears he will work on a favorite topick of his, how to improve the game on the field:

During a 451-game run as Cardinals manager that included a 252-199 regular-season record and postseason appearances in each of his three full seasons after replacing Mike Matheny in 2018, Shildt showed great interest in state-of-baseball topics. What happened to all of those stolen bases? What is the three-batter minimum missing? How did the sticky stuff pitchers use go from being no big deal, to a big problem?

Shildt mentioned more than once in recent seasons how he enjoyed his dialogue with the league about rule changes and trends within the game. Moving forward, he will play a part in how those decisions are made.

I hope his ideas work.
