In the first hour of tonight’s show, Matt Pauley discusses the Cardinals 6-3 win over the Cubs at Sloan Park in Mesa, Arizona that saw outfielder Dylan Carlson leave the game with a left shoulder injury after colliding with Jordan Walker. Will yet ANOTHER Cardinal outfielder start the season on the injured list? Former Cardinal second baseman Tom Herr also joins the show to discuss the pageantry of Opening Day, what makes a great second baseman, and his infield chemistry with Ozzie Smith. Also in tonight’s show: Kevin Wheeler joins to talk Cardinals ball; Derrick Goold of the Post-Dispatch has an update on Dylan Carlson’s injury; St. Louis University continues their search for a new men’s basketball head coach; and Cuonzo Martin returns to Missouri State to coach.
