The Cardinals are in the thick of the Wild Card race, and they owe it all to DeWittball. But that doesn’t mean they’re going to stay the course.
We talk about the roster changes that still might come, especially with the returns of Dakota Hudson and Jack Flaherty.
Then we consider Cardinals Devil Magic. What is it? Can we define it? Is it truly - like the Supreme Court definition of pornography - something that we simply know when we see it?
Next, we dive into the recent announcement that the Cardinals are considering making changes to Busch Stadium in response to the degree to which the recent developments around the ballpark have further pushed it towards playing as an extreme pitcher’s park. Ben Humphrey makes the case that this may well be tied to fans not enjoying the style of play that it takes to win in such a ballpark.
We wind things down with several questions from listeners, then talk about what we’re looking for and give some off-day recommendations.
