@Nutzypoo_ttv This Topps system is so broken. I’m a STL fan so it’s fun to see a Cardinal. However, it’s so silly that Blaze Jordan, who has been up for 6 games, has a 96 rated card. Dude happened to have a moment in mid June. Same moment 3 weeks ago and he’d be a 90.

[JB @JwhoJB]

@EB21122 @BKSportsTalk Libby has no chance with some of you if 5 innings 3 earned runs and 10 k’s is considered a bad outing.

[JB @JwhoJB]

@johnrabe @JustKapNow No one is making the case that he’s a stud. Just that he’s better than your assessment of he’d be cut if he wasn’t left handed.

[JB @JwhoJB]

@JustKapNow @johnrabe No kidding. Dude went 5 innings, gave up 3 and struck out 10 against a playoff team. All of a sudden he’s a got the ceiling of a 5th starter and the floor of released?

[JB @JwhoJB]

@MLBaseball_Live Your unpopular opinion is that the front office wants to lose games and is annoyed the players are playing well???

[JB @JwhoJB]

@MLBaseball_Live The guy has thrown 19 innings…overuse? What’s the correct usage for him then? Should he only pitch every other save chance?

[JB @JwhoJB]

@Arrowhead_Adam The process they used got them A rated players but that process is rated C-? I guess an A rated process would have not been trading up but that opens up the risk for lower rated players

The goal of the draft is to get impact players and they did that.

@MLBaseball_Live Dobbins and Mautz already on 40 man. Current open spot for Matthews to join too. It’d take several injuries to push them to look outside the organization.

@STLSprtsCntrl What would he need to do to be considered a corner stone piece going forward? If we move on from him aren't we just going to need to add...him?
A 2nd line forward averaging 25+ goals and 60+ points per year can't be the Blue's biggest issue, right?

[JB @JwhoJB]

@BKSportsTalk Anyone choosing hope for more is crazy. Those numbers would make him a top 5 RF in all of MLB. Saying you want more is basically asking for him to be Soto, Judge, or Tucker. Having those numbers at Busch has him probably at, or over, 125 OPS+

[JB @JwhoJB]

@Firebill88 @PowerMizzoucom Sometimes I feel there is a misunderstanding between expectations and goals.
Would it be safe to say Gates is meeting expectations but falling short of goals? OR, is the expectation higher than 20+ wins and a trip to the tournament?

[JB @JwhoJB]

@BKSportsTalk So another 20+ win season and a 3rd straight trip to the tourny wouldn't be enough? He has to win another first round game to get more time in your opinion?

[JB @JwhoJB]

@StavaonSTL @RockMNation If you're giving Gates' first 4 seasons a C grade what makes it better for you?
The last 3 coaches are a combined 0-4 in the tournament over 11 seasons. Gates is 1-3 over 4.
Is the difference from a C to a B or A grade really only 2 wins in the 1st round?

[JB @JwhoJB]

@brett_burr54 @RetroGamerDad17 @cdotharrison I get what you’re saying, and I would agree 20+ wins and making the tournament are fair expectation. If Gates makes a sweet 16 twice and a final 4 in the next 4 years he’d arguably be the second most successful coach in program history.

[JB @JwhoJB]

@brett_burr54 @RetroGamerDad17 @cdotharrison You’re never going to guess how many sweet 16s Iowa St has been to in the last 50 years.

[JB @JwhoJB]

@MaggieLJohnson I wish I could’ve been a fan back when Mizzou was making BCS bowl games and final 4 runs regularly. Then I’d be comfortable putting that expectation on them like everyone else.

10 seed lost to 7 seed and we should fire everyone?

[JB @JwhoJB]

@brett_burr54 @RetroGamerDad17 @cdotharrison Make the sweet 16 once every 3-is years is your expectation for the program!?!? They’ve done it 7 times in the last 50 years.

[JB @JwhoJB]

@cdotharrison They go into next year with a potential NBA lottery pick at guard and one of the better overall recruiting classes I’ve ever seen them have. Maybe they can show they are a viable one and done option going forward. Could be a lot more than “blah” next year.

[JB @JwhoJB]

@bschaeffer12 @STLSprtsCntrl You are missing the point the haters are trying to make. Now they can’t hire a fresh new manager that’s better, smarter, a winner, and a better developer of talent going into next season…the lockout season. Also, they now aren’t allowed to fire him either.

[JB @JwhoJB]

@PatMcAfeeShow It would have been an awesome moment to give the MVP to the kicking unit. Snapper, punter & kicker.
Dickson punted 7 times covering over 330 yards, put it inside the 5 three times, had one return which he got credited with the tackle.
