Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 14-0 loss to the Astros from Thursday. The conversation revolves heavily around Adam Wainwright following the latest deflating performance for the St. Louis Cardinals franchise icon.

What should the Cardinals do about Waino's struggles? What do we expect them to do after hearing from the relevant parties following Thursday's game?

Brenden Schaeffer discusses Tuesday's 4-2 win for the Cardinals over the Astros and dives into a discussion stemming from a recent article by Ken Rosenthal which suggested that St. Louis either needs to commit to going all-in on free agent spending to finance a winner--or tear this roster down to the studs by trading star players over the coming months.

Does Brenden see this situation the same way? How do you, the fan, view it?
