@joshjaco98 Except, they won't because Mo can never get out of his own way. We are "resetting." Oh wait, we will surprise people. Oh wait, we will be competitive this year. Just pick a direction and go! Great work as always!

In unhealthy relationships, people only contact you when they need you. They treat your interactions as transactions that leave you feeling used.

In healthy relationships, people reach out when they think of you. They’re invested in your relationship and eager to be helpful.

@Ben_Fred @stltoday @stlhensley @BJC_HealthCare Congratulations! Like many other sentiments, your writing will be missed. I definitely enjoyed your articles.

@JSims52 @dgoold @RussHinnen I don’t disagree. To be fair, all of that could happen. The issue is Mo has walked back some of his “reset” message because now we are supposed to be better than people think. Maybe by the trade deadline it all works out. Just seems like a gamble to me.

[Jonathan @jdscott23]

@dgoold @RussHinnen The return seems to depend on the ability of a GM to identify what he wants and to act, not side step (well we might compete). Innings do matter. So trade Fedde for a prospect(s) and replace with a Kyle Gibson type and possibly flip at the deadline.

[Jonathan @jdscott23]

@dgoold Except they should trade Fedde and Matz regardless. They still can't do what they say they will; building for the future is trading them now with their most value not with 1/2 season left.

@JacobE_STL Cool stat but I would much rather have 1 of the the other 3.

@b_miklasz @YouTube If I don’t catch you on the podcast I get it on YouTube and vice versa. I very much enjoy all your content.

“How do the unchurched really feel about the American church? Do these feelings differ from those who regularly attend church? The Church Answers Research team just completed a new, significant study to answer these questions.” ~ Sam Rainer https://t.co/C5dIqTeWOs

@dgoold You taught him everything he knows.🤣

Glen Scrivener says: “Christians believe in the virgin birth of Jesus. Materialists believe in the virgin birth of the cosmos. Choose your miracle.” Glen, who directs the ministry Speak Life, responded to an interview with atheist Richard Dawkins earlier this year. https://t.co/Y3sk2W7vv5

@b_miklasz I’m beginning to think one of the philosophical differences that Shildt brought was urgency to win.

@bschaeffer12 From the comments on Twitter, I guess Helsey can’t ever blow a save. It happens. He’s been so good this year. It’s baseball folks.

@erichoke This is my context, not a church plant though. It’s tough, still working to be more effective. Organic relationships will be the best avenue. But you have to have majority in your church doing it to grow. So empowering others, branding, marketing, online presence + relationships
