And the Cardinals are good! We all love the Cardinals of course, but it\u2019s far more enjoyable when they are winning baseball games and we don\u2019t just have to rely on the development of young players to satiate our baseball sweet tooth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">We convened the Redbird Rundown crew and dished out first quarter grades with Joe Roderick from STL Sports Central. It was a good way to take stock of the team from a broad overview.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">We covered Walker\u2019s ascendancy, Wetherholt metronomic performance, praised runners going from first to third, and mostly buried the pitching staff \u2014 with some exceptions!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Give it a listen if audio is your thing. And, you know how the internet works, it would be great if you\u2019d subscribe. It helps others find our show!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s hard to believe that the season is through its first quarter already.
