## Resource

What does the rest of baseball actually think about these St. Louis Cardinals? Mike Claiborne just spent four days alongside national broadcasters in San Diego, and the answers might not be what Cardinals fans expect. On this edition of Mondays with Mike, Mike Claiborne joins Joe Roderick from Sacramento to break down the national media's read on the Cardinals after a rare three-network weekend on ESPN, Apple TV, and Fox. The guys dig into Jordan Walker's mammoth third-deck home run at Petco Park, the Nick Castellanos and Fernando Tatis Jr. bat incident, why Nolan Gorman keeps drawing national questions, the catching debate around Pedro Pagés, Iván Herrera, and prospect Jimmy Crooks, plus a full quarter-mark assessment of the bullpen and offense heading into the A's series in Sacramento. 🔨 Presented by Graybar https://www.graybar.com/ 🎨 Claibs is powered by Painting & Decorating Foundation https://stlouispdf.org/ 👑 Presented by DraftKings.
