They get into Jordan Walker becoming the first Cardinal to win the Home Run Derby, Willson Contreras nearly setting up an all Cardinals final, Riley O'Brien hitting Junior Caminero and the social media backlash that followed, and Barstool's Brandon Walker calling the Cardinals boring.

July 14 Why This Derby Win Means More Than You Think For the Cardinals | Cards Central 365
Jordan Walker walked into the loudest, most hostile crowd in baseball and walked out a champion. Down to his final swing against Kyle Schwarber, he did the one thing 43,000 booing Philadelphia fans swore he couldn't.
Stefan Caray and Brenden Schaeffer break down the St. Louis Cardinals slugger's stunning 2026 Home Run Derby win, what it means for his rise into superstar status, and why this moment matters far beyond one trophy as the Cardinals push through the All-Star break.
In this episode of Cards Central 365, powered by Graybar and presented by Budweiser on STL Sports Central, the guys dig into Walker's leap from Derby underdog to national spotlight, the Cardinals' surprising first half on a lean payroll, the draft-and-develop plan under Bill DeWitt, and a full preview of the 2026 MLB All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park, including St. Louis representatives Jordan Walker, Iván Herrera, Riley O'Brien, and manager Oli Marmol.

Mike Claiborne watched Jordan Walker's Home Run Derby practice round up close at Busch, and he can't stop talking about what he saw.
