E18: What Is the Plan for Contreras?
05/08/23 • 42 min
The Cardinals' slide continues as some questionable moves have been made. After a sweep to the Angels, Willson Contreras has been shifted from his catching role as the Cards are frustrated with his pitch-calling. Instead, Knizner and Tres Barrera will share catching duties as Contreras moves to a DH/outfielder? Is this a panic move by Mozeliak and company or is this the right call? Also, we break down the Cards' playoff hopes after a promising series finale against the Tigers and a better series as the Cards chances were dashed by poor strike calls and umpire review. What was it like to see Ohtani in person? The atmosphere at Busch was buzzing despite the slow start.

This week Josh Jacobs of Redbird Rants joins us to discuss how to fix the Cardinals! Sure the Cards have looked alright with back to back series wins against the Cubs and the Red Sox, but there's a lot more work to do to get back to the top. The pitching still doesn't look good and we heard about a few possible solutions to this, including one exciting name from NPB! Could the Cards be in on Aaron Nola and Shohei Ohtani next offseason?
