About this episode

The episode discusses the current performance of the St. Louis Cardinals, focusing on player statistics and trade rumors.

The Cardinals are 36-28, riding a five-game win streak, and Jordan Walker is on 30/30 watch. He's got 16 homers and 10 steals with two-thirds of the season left, and the All-Star conversation is getting loud. Nootbaar is finally back and the lineup immediately looks different. Alec Burleson is the third-best first baseman in the NL by fWAR. The bench is actually working. Dustin May and JoJo Romero are reportedly on the trade block. And Nolan Gorman's strikeout numbers tell an uncomfortable story. Have a question or comment for the show?
