Sports Open Line is shortened tonight due to KMOX carrying Thursday Night Football from Westwood One between the Jaguars and Saints. Matt makes the case for Yadier Molina as a Cardinal coach and explains why he would lift up Willson Contreras defensively (NOT offensively, WE KNOW!) Matt also features the comments from Blues head coach Craig Berube who speaks on the squad heading into action tonight at home vs the Arizona Coyotes.

Sports Open Line with Matt Pauley airs weeknights 6-8PM CT on KMOX barring any Cardinals, Billikens, or NFL games. Join the show by calling or texting (314) 436-7900 or by tweeting to Matt @MattPauleyOnAir. Listen live at 1120AM, 98.7FM, or on the free Audacy app.
