BREAKING: A Baseball News Podcast

BREAKING: A Baseball News Podcast - TC (@tczencka [https://twitter.com/tczencka]) flies solo, which is not the Cardinal Way.

Did we miss something or have Adam Wainwright, Yadier Molina, and company been heading towards the playoffs all year? Let's dig in.

BREAKING: A Baseball News Podcast - Tim (@TimJacksonSays [https://twitter.com/TimJacksonSays]) and TC (@tczencka [https://twitter.com/tczencka]) look at a contender in the Giants, a treadmill team in the Phillies, and a team on the rise in the Pirates. Is the Giants model sustainable? Can the Phillies ever finish above .500 again? Are the Pirates a team to watch? Or just a team to watch...to watch?

BREAKING: A Baseball News Podcast - Tim (@TimJacksonSays [https://twitter.com/TimJacksonSays]) and TC (@tczencka [https://twitter.com/tczencka]) dig into MLB's "old guard," the cadre of veterans at the front of baseball's arms race. Charlie Morton's extension with the Braves kicks off this age old debate, but he's not the only old hand excelling this season. Max Scherzer, Adam Wainwright, Zack Greinke, and even Justin Verlander are defying the aging curve.

Tim (@TimJacksonSays [https://twitter.com/TimJacksonSays]) and TC (@tczencka [https://twitter.com/tczencka]) revisit the deadline swap of Abraham Toro and Kendall Graveman, then look ahead to whether these Mariners can contend again next season.
