Dealin' the Cards: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast

Adam Wainwright finally reaches 200 wins with a beautiful 7 inning scoreless start in a 1-0 victory against the Brewers! How will the Cardinals honor the franchise icon in the final week of his career? Will he start again? Will he get a DH opportunity? Unfortunately, injuries have started to pile up for the Cardinals, with Arenado, Contreras, O'Neill, Gorman, and many others ending the season on the IL. How concerned are we with their health? Next, we wrap up by talking pitching (of course) and discuss Sonny Gray as one of the most intriguing starters the Cardinals can target. Miles Mikolas has also sputtered across the finish line. How concerned are we with his performance going forward, and will his extension be looked up on with regret?
