In the first hour of tonight’s Sports Open Line, Matt Pauley is finally accepting the fact that the St. Louis Blues are just not a good team this year. Matt discusses the Houston Astros hiring Dana Brown, baseball's only black General Manager, and is joined by Dan Szymborski, senior writer at FanGraphs, to discuss Scott Rolen’s Hall of Fame selection into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Matt caps off the hour with a grim outlook on the fate of regional sports networks, which could lose the rights to your favorite team’s games to streaming services.
