In the second hour of tonight’s Sports Open Line, Matt Pauley takes your calls to get your thoughts on the Cardinals signing free agent catcher Willson Contreras. Polo Ascencio, the Spanish play-by-play voice of the Cardinals, then joins the show to give his impressions of the Contreras signing. How does Polo feel? ‘I don’t like it. I love it!” Us too, Polo! Matt then plays some cuts from Contreras’ press conference today, where he shares the moment he wanted to be a Cardinal, his in-person visit with John Mozeliak and Oliver Marmol, how much he appreciates the history of the organization, and how his playing style his meant for opponents not to like him.
