A bitter loss last night in Colorado. We talk about it with Ben Frederickson and how he describes the Cardinals disappointing 2021. Could the team become sellers? Did they wait too long to bolster the pitching staff? Ben suggests Wainwright and Yadi might be a key to another team making a push. Will the Cardinals let it happen? We saw the return of Harrison Bader without a boon to the offense. The reception for Arenado was warm last night and he’s been as advertised in St. Louis. Is he frustrated enough to opt out?

We also dive into the NIL changes to college sports this week. Ben tells us the bad logic is being shot down. Although there will be some hiccups, he says it’s overdue and will help all college athletes, not just those at big schools. How do the coaches use this for recruiting? Some details on how this could change moving forward. Listen here:

Ben Fred talks this morning about the potential warning lights coming from the Cardinals starting pitching. We’ve also learned that Justin WIlliams will have one more year in the minor leagues and Harrison Bader will start the season on the IL. So who will be the starting outfielders? Where does John Nogowski fit? We talk about where Matt Carpenter fits for the team too. Can he prove he’s an effective bench bat? Mo said they’re trying to coordinate vaccination with the state and will attempt it once they’re back in St. Louis. A little bit on Mizzou basketball and the future of Cuonzo Martin. Listen here:

Gant as a starter, the return of kk, what about Oviedo? We also talk about bench competition. Is it already set or could things change the last few weeks here? We get into Tommy Edman leading off and more on players out of minors options. Who hits clean up? And what do they do with Matt Carpenter? Analyzing the back field starts for pitchers too.

We get Ben’s thoughts on Mizzou and Illinois in the tournament. He’s got a surprise pick in the championship game.
