In the first hour of Sports Open Line, Matt Pauley recaps an amazing Cardinals Opening Day even if it didn’t go the Redbirds way in the end. Nate Gatter, host of KMOX’s St. Louis City Soccer Report, then joins the show to preview City SC’s matchup vs Minnesota and whether City will ever lose a game! Matt also provides updates on Willson Contreras who was struck in the knee by a 100+ mph pitch from Jordan Hicks and is considered day-to-day.  Do the Cardinals have enough catcher depth catchers to survive an extended Contreras absence? Listen to Sports Open Line to hear what Matt Pauley thinks.
