Thank goodness it's Friday. A rough week got some light at the end of it when the Cardinals and rookie second baseman JJ Wetherholt agreed to a 8-year extension. With Allen (@amedlock1) in Hawaii, Daniel (@C70) gets the pleasure of talking it over with legendary media figure Bernie Miklasz (@b_miklasz). They discuss most of the aspects of the Wetherholt deal, from what it means to the organization to what it might signal to those outside St. Louis. They can't avoid the disaster that was the Milwaukee series, though. How close are the Cardinals to being that team again?

It's been a rough week for the Cardinals, losing the last two series and seeing (for the most part) their starting pitching getting cuffed about the head and shoulders.

Jordan Walker's had a bit of a slump but is there any concern it is more than that? The guys also get into the changes in the executive suites, as Bill DeWitt Jr. gives way to BD3.
