The Cardinals' season is in the books, the Diamondbacks are cutting payroll, and Suns preseason is almost here. In this episode of the Az Sports Podcast, we break down all three.

Cardinals Breakdown
The run game came alive early and the defense created turnovers, but the bad outweighed the good. We get into Jacoby Brissett's rough outing, why Trey McBride and MHJ didn't give MW any help, the defensive miscues, long third-down conversions, and explosive plays that sank this team. We also cover the injuries (Winguard, Adams, Johnson), Jeremiyah Love disappearing late in the game, and the big question: is it time to fire Nick Rallis?

Diamondbacks: What Does a Lower Payroll Mean?
Young guys get more reps, but nobody knows what next season looks like. We talk about whether Ketel Marte could be traded for cheaper pieces, where the left-handed hitters are, how to build out the back of the bullpen, and why the rotation needs big leaps from Ryne and Pfaadt to compete.

Suns Preseason Things to Watch
Oso vs. Maluach for the starting spot, the starting unit's style of play, the backup forward hierarchy (Rasheer Fleming, Koa Peat, Ryan Dunn), and health. How does Jalen Green look coming off an injury-filled season? How quick is Booker? And who got stronger over the offseason?

41:17 Phoenix Suns Media Day Highlights

The Cardinals dropped a 36-30 heartbreaker to the 49ers, and the late field goal made the cover. We break down how a 14-point hole, first-half penalties, and a lack of explosive plays kept Arizona from finishing the comeback. Then we turn to the Diamondbacks' latest collapse and make the case that Torey Lovullo's time in Arizona should be over. We also look ahead to Phoenix Suns Media Day and what the internal expectations are for this group.

In this episode:

🏈 Cardinals vs. 49ers: Arizona started down 14 and lost the first half to penalties, with McBride and Harrison Jr. involved in the drive-killers. The defense came up with two big plays, the lateral to Deebo and Jordan Watkins' 34-yard reception that set up a field goal. The second half was a different story: TD, punt, TD, TD, field goal.

📊 The numbers: The Cardinals dominated time of possession (39-21) and ran 81 plays to 50, and they made five red zone trips to San Francisco's two. But the 49ers won on explosives, with five receptions over 20 yards, multiple McCaffrey runs over 10, and Purdy's 35-yard run to seal it. Arizona had no runs over 10 and no catches over 20. Brissett finished 38/52 for 280 yards and 2 TD with no INT, while Purdy went 15/27 for 297 yards and 4 TD.

⭐ Standouts: J. Love, Wilson (11 catches, 18 targets), and McBride all had productive days, and Wilson and MHJ came to life. On the other side, Kittle scored twice and Deebo's 80-yard lateral TD stung.

👎 3 Bad: The defense could not stop Purdy and the passing game, the offense has no explosive threats, and penalties are killing this team.

👍 3 Good: The team fought in the second half and got a lucky special teams play, Love had a good game, and Wilson and MHJ showed up.

⚾ Diamondbacks: Another disappointing finish. We talk about the Padres series, the bullpen usage, the lineup decisions, and why running it back with the same group for a fourth straight year isn't working.

🏀 Suns Media Day: What is the internal expectation from this group heading into the season?
