Paul Goldschmidt was not a fan of the premise.
It was suggested to the reigning National League MVP after Wednesday’s latest trapdoor loss that the last-place Cardinals’ continued meltdown is nearing the point where some will — or will continue to — call for the firing of second-year manager Oliver Marmol.
Goldschmidt wanted to make two points very clear after Wednesday's 8-5 extra-innings loss to the Giants clawed defeat from the jaws of victory thanks to a Giovanny Gallegos meatball and the collapse that followed. The first was that the first baseman is not much interested in outside speculation.
