Showdown with those pesky birds. On today's episode, Javier is joined by JD Hafron (the new host of Locked On Cardinals!) to discuss what is poised to be a major series between the Padres and Cardinals. The two first discuss what it was like from both of their perspectives when the Juan Soto trade went down, the Cardinals acquisitions of Jordan Montgomery and Jose Quintana, the lack of power in the Padres lineup, which team has the better pitching rotation (it's super close!), Albert Pujols' quest for 700, and much more! Go Padres.
