Mike Claiborne and Joe Roderick are back for another edition of Claibs and Joe on STL Sports Central, covering the biggest stories in the NFL, MLB postseason, St. Louis Cardinals baseball, and Blues hockey! The guys open the show with a discussion about the NFL's growing problem with questionable coaching decisions and clock management. Why are so many coaches struggling in critical game situations? Claibs explains how too many voices on the sidelines, coaching turnover, and the loss of talented coordinators can derail an entire team. They also examine the early Super Bowl contenders, the league's biggest disappointments, and which struggling franchises could be headed for major changes. Attention then shifts to October baseball, where the Milwaukee Brewers have taken a commanding 2-0 lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS. Can Milwaukee complete the upset, or will the Dodgers battle back? Claibs weighs in on Shohei Ohtani's struggles, the questions surrounding his health, and whether Dave Roberts should even consider taking his superstar out of the lineup. The guys also discuss José Ramírez's incredible postseason and why the Cleveland star deserves more national recognition. What can the Cardinals learn from Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Tampa Bay? Claibs takes a closer look at how these smaller-market organizations consistently develop talent, emphasize fundamentals, and compete against teams with significantly larger payrolls. From minor league instruction to scouting and player development, he explains what the Cardinals need to rediscover to build a winning organization. The conversation also turns to the St. Louis Blues, who are still searching for consistency early in the NHL season. Claibs discusses the importance of establishing an identity, getting contributions from all four lines, and why Ross Johnston could deserve a bigger role moving forward. Finally, when will the Cardinals make their next big organizational announcement? Claibs hints that some interesting developments could be coming during the break before the World Series, setting the stage for an important offseason in St. Louis.
