An incredible roadtrip for the Cardinals. They start the day in first place in the NL central. Without some of their key players, they've won every series since the All-Star break and just swept the Pirates. Ben Frederickson talks to us about what they need to do at the trade deadline.

Goldschmidt is looking more like the players the Cardinals thought they would get. Now the Cardinals get into series with winning record teams- the Dodgers, Astros and Cubs. What happens now? Frederickson said they need another dash of pepper to be considered a World Series contender.

We also talk Mizzou. Frederickson's story in the Post Dispatch claims that the team could go 8-0 into a hot game against Georgia. A week from today, practice starts for the team with Kelly Bryant. Frederickson says the team has the most appealing schedule of any SEC team. Listen here for more:
