In this episode Rob, Lang and Murph take a look at the state of the MLB season one month in, discuss the struggling Cards, talk about the Braves dominance and more.
They discuss the recent struggles of the St. Louis Cardinals, particularly their pitching staff. They mention the Cardinals’ losing streak and the team’s poor performance at home. Willson Contreras, who was brought in as a catcher to replace Yadier Molina, is being blamed for the team’s pitching issues. The speakers argue that this is scapegoating, as the pitchers themselves are not performing well. Contreras is being reassigned to play outfield and designated hitter instead of catching. Some fans are calling for Ali Marmol to be fired and replaced by Molina as the team’s manager. They look at the Cardinals’ decision to send reliever Zack Thompson to Memphis to become a starter in 2024.
