Now that we know the Cubs are sellers, what will this weekend at Wrigley be like for the Cardinals? We talk it all oper here with Ben Frederickson of the Post Dispatch. What is the difference between Chicago and St. Louis in terms of position to buy/sell/trade at thee deadline? We also look at the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby? Will Ohtani revitalize the fan-base enough to watch?

We know Tarasenko is looking to leave the Blues. Ben talks about the beloved player and why he's not this right fit in St. Louis now and the "cheap shot" he's taking on the way out. Some news on Mizzou's coaching staff and the awesome recruitment strides this year. Listen here:

A good couple of wins for the Cardinals as of late but the minor league teams can't all say the same. Matthew Liberatore got knocked around for 14 hits last night and Nolan Gorman is struggling to adjust to better pitching at Triple A.

We talk it all over here with Brain Walton of thecardinalnation.com.

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:
