It’s the Strike Zone, a special baseball-only hour of Sports Open Line! Matt Pauley discusses Adam Wainwright who just earned his 199th win, and whether he’ll be able to secure the elusive 200th in one of his next three starts before the season (and his career) is over. Philadelphia Phillies writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer Scott Lauber then joins the show to discuss the team’s current status as they approach the postseason, whether Aaron Nola to the Cardinals is a possibility, and the upcoming series vs the Cardinals at Busch. Matt is also joined by former Cardinals shortstop Brendan Ryan to talk about his time in a Redbird uniform and his upcoming bobblehead giveaway day!
