@FormerRedbirds Yes, I like Masyn, but when it’s time to really compete again (in 2 yrs or so), he’s going to be an 8/9 hitter. Anything higher and we’ve done something wrong in roster construction

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@Rinedog1 Absolutely- I think we could get some pretty good value for May/Burly at the deadline. People seem to be forgetting that this season is building for the future, not hope and pray we can get hot in late September/October sitting on 80-85 wins

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@The_Ryan_Shull Brutal series, that’ll happen in a rebuild year. Exposed who should NOT be part of the 3year future- JJ, JW, Herrera are the core beyond next season. Burly is gonna get us a great haul at the deadline this year. Scott/Gorman need to go, 1-tool players don’t win championships

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@LockedOnBlues Scott Nichol!

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@kniznerfan Very bad leadership out of the “core” that only contributes for about 20 games a year. 2012-2017 6 straight playoffs- guys who wore letters Backes/Steen/Jackman/Petro. Much less skilled teams than we have now with way better results. Should tell you something

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@jmjones Good move calling up Graceffo today. Get Winn out of the cleanup spot, whatever “experiment” this is isn’t working. Flip him and Walker, or go JJ-Herrera-Walker-Burly-Gorman-Winn

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@gatewaygrinders O/U lines I’ve seen have been set at 70.5… I could honestly see 75 +/- a couple wins. There will be bad stretches for this team, but I don’t think they’re as horrible as people are making them out to be

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@BluesfaninKS Blues fans grossly overrate this core, the same core that has ONE playoff series win in 6 years

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@BluesfaninKS 4. They keep that horrible goal song
5. They continue to push this terrible new brand identity, including these cheap looking jerseys

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@STLBluesChirp @_carltheintern Would rather hear more goal horn than that atrocious goal song of ours

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@B1ackBruceWayne You are correct, PP has no identity right now. I’d go as far to say not a single forward like has an identity right now.

That being said, as much as I love Bolduc and love what he’s doing in MTL, it’s too early to tell on that trade. D typically take longer to develop

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@jprutherford That’s exactly the right thing to say. Too many fans and media overreacting right now. He’s proved he belongs in the NHL. 2 bad starts, so what. Still firmly believe goaltending is the least of our problems right now

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@lkorac10 He does not fit onto this roster. Waive him. Completely takes away from the checking capabilities of that 4th line. When Sunny is back he can play wing on the 4th line or switch with Bjugstad and play center. Sign Lucic when he’s healthy as ur 14th forward.

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@jprutherford This is where having a Ryan Suter on the backend would be beneficial. I understand he didn’t want to be a 7D with us, but we’re not exactly stronger defensively playing Kessel over Mailloux

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@OUFan919 @lkorac10 Is Kessel much of an upgrade though?? Feel like you have to give Mailloux runway to work through this. Give him a game off sure, but it’s not like you have options behind him

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@bluesbuzzblog Schenn

5-3 Blues Win

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@wekiwa @OnlyCardsFans Doing nothing but filling the middle of the zone with sinkers over an extended period of time typically doesn’t age well

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@The_Ryan_Shull Cardinals Twitter swore this was gonna be Carlson/Walker/Gorman 😂😂

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@johnrabe What do you mean he was terrible?? He showcased his greatest skill perfectly, pitching to contact! Did his job, for 6 whole innings! For some reason the more contact he pitches to the more unlucky he gets🤷‍♂️

[Jake Buttice @jj2buttice]

@RedbirdRiot SURPRISE!! Pitching to contact (aka throwing very hittable pitches to MAJOR LEAGUE hitters) isn’t working… AGAIN!
