In the second hour of tonight’s Sports Open Line, Matt Pauley talks the possibility of Matthew Tkachuk being traded to the Blues, and continues his recurring segment ‘The State of the NL Central’ by interviewing freelance sportswriter John Perrotto on the Pittsburgh Pirates. Earlier, we asked your thoughts on some of Brian Snitker’s managerial decisions concerning the National League in the All Star Game (like Pujols and Goldschmidt each getting one at bat, and Mikolas not being used at all) and Matt reads your comments on air.

In tomorrow’s show…..

We check in with Polo Ascencio, the Spanish voice of the Cardinals; Lou Korac of NHL.com for Blues rumors, Gary LaRocque for news on Cardinals prospects and draft picks, and more! Follow Matt on Twitter @MattPauleyOnAir
