## Resource

Mike Claiborne still cannot tell you what ranks ahead of what he watched from Wrigley Field on Saturday. Joshua Báez homered in each of his first three major league at-bats, and Mike was in the building for all three. Joe Roderick catches Mike on the road in Cincinnati for a full breakdown of the most electric St. Louis Cardinals debut in franchise history, plus the far less glamorous stuff that decided a doubleheader. Why has Báez not had a hit since? Why is Jordan Walker suddenly unpitchable? And what did Quinn Mathews needing 95 pitches to get 12 outs actually cost the Cardinals in the nightcap? Mike and Joe get into the young Cardinals lineup, the bullpen innings problem nobody is discussing, whether Mathews gets recalled for the Philadelphia series, and a football close on Aaron Donald, Atlanta's quarterback situation and where college football realignment is headed. 🔨 Presented by Graybar https://www.graybar.com/ 🎨 Claibs is powered by Painting & Decorating Foundation https://stlouispdf.org/ 🍔 Brought to you by Mac's Downtown in Alton, IL https://macsdowntown.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
