Former St. Louis Cardinals great Yadier Molina will be in uniform and in the Cardinals dugout tonight and Saturday night as the Cards take on the Chicago Cubs at Busch Stadium. How did this come to be and what did Oliver Marmol think of the opportunity--and why it was so important?

And based on his response to a question from Brandon Kiley on 101 ESPN today, clearly Marmol is aware of the memes that will come about as a result of this--but he was clear that having an ego about this is the last thing on his mind when it comes to the reasoning behind why it's so important to have Yadi around this Cardinals team.

Plus, Quinn Mathews was excellent on Thursday night for AAA Memphis. When could we see him in St. Louis? I'll explain why his situation mirrors JJ Wetherholt.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the latest rough outing for Miles Mikolas after Tuesday's 12-6 loss by the Cardinals against the Dodgers.

Is it too late to bother doing anything about Miles Mikolas at this point? Could a journeyman name from Triple-A like Aaron Wilkerson be a reasonable replacement if the Cardinals want to show a modicum of urgency to improve their status?

Ryan Helsley is a Met, apparently Steven Matz is a Red Sox in news that broke just before I wrapped up this episode recording. My head is spinning, but I said words about the Cardinals, so I am posting them hear. Enjoy.

Sonny Gray described the impact of the St. Louis heat after Tuesday's loss to the Marlins as the Cardinals fell 5-0 to the Fish at Busch Stadium. Gray pitches decently, but described the issues he's been having gripping the baseball in the sweltering STL heat. Is this a matter of a player making excuses, or is he actually giving us exactly what we always claim to want from athletes -- CANDOR! Hey, I loved hearing it and I'll explain why I enjoyed Sonny's perspective so much.

Plus, an odd scenario unfolding that made it seem like the Hug Watch could be on for Cardinal lefty Steven Matz. Ultimately, it seems like it all stemmed from a simple coincidence... Or was it?

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals heading into the mlb trade deadline as it sounds like Ryan Helsley is fully expecting to be traded -- and arguably even advocating that it's the most sensible thing for the Cardinals to do.

His quotes to Derrick Goold of STL Today recently make it clear that Helsley understands the strategic side of everything going on around this deadline.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals being shutout and losing a series to the worst team in modern MLB history. Erick Fedde is gone, but it was far too late. The Cardinals should still sell the short-term assets, right?

At least JJ Wetherholt is not from this planet.
