Derrick joins the show in studio with Brooke & Dan to talk Cardinals, their realistic playoff chances, why time (aka games left) has become the biggest obstacle, why it’s hard to describe this year as anything but a disappointment, the lack of offense being inexplicable and damning for the first 5 months of the season, Gorman being one of the biggest questions after this season, “hot-wiring” the roster construction by giving them a lot of options on shorter deals, the questions still up in the air on the future of Goldy as a Cardinals, if his recent offensive surge will factor into the decision making, his skepticism about MO’s effect on the fans, why Mo wants to move back from being the loudest voice in the room & have new voices takeover, how development has changed in MLB over the years, the issue with the Cardinals producing players…just not for the Cardinals, how the Brewers have passed the Cardinals in multiple ways, how the timing of Carlson’s injury in Spring was the beginning of the end, how the local TV deal will inevitably affect the Cardinals—and MLB’s—budget & salary, why this will be a short-term problem with a lot of long-term gain and why the option for Gibson makes sense in 2025.
