  • MLB Network lead host Greg Amsinger

    Greg joins Randy, Brooke & Danny for the Cardinals Home Opener to talk about how tough it is to face off against the Dodgers, the early returns from the Cardinals through two series, how the Cardinals pitching philosophy is holding up, the growth of ATHLETES in MLB and how that’s helping the game, the impact of Victor Scott II on the Cardinals, why—for now—the Cardinals shouldn’t ever consider sending him down, watching his hitting talent in a long at-bat that shows how special he can be, why he would even consider moving him to the lead off spot and why people in Saint Louis should be letting their kids stay home to enjoy Opening Day.
