A conversation about the Cardinals' chronic lack of offense takes co-hosts, Ben Frederickson and Derrick Goold, into the look at how market factors are influencing the approach of hitters and why the chase for contracts may supersede the need to defy the defensive shifts. The Cardinals suggest that maybe they have the best example of the game's changing dynamics: Matt Carpenter. The Cardinals have not received the planned production from Carpenter, Dexter Fowler, and Marcell Ozuna -- the three pistons around which the lineup is built -- and that has them scraping for runs and pressure applying to their coaches. Can a solution be had? Does the game's culture allow for it. The two Post-Dispatch writers explore all of that and more in the latest edition of the Best Podcast in Baseball, brought to you weekly my Lumberlend Co., at Lumberlend.com.
