## Resource

The Cardinals were being written off two weeks ago. Then something shifted, and the rest of baseball is finally starting to notice. Mike Claiborne joins Joe Roderick on Mondays with Mike to break down the Cardinals' 6-1 stretch, including the eye-opening weekend against the Dodgers, what the staff did to Shohei Ohtani, and which bullpen arms are quietly stepping up in high leverage spots. Plus: the 2026 Cardinals Hall of Fame class announcement that caught even longtime fans off guard, a Brewers series preview with a possible date with rookie flamethrower Jacob Misiorowski, and a reflection on the passing of legendary Yankees voice John Sterling. 🔨 Presented by Graybar https://www.graybar.com/ 🎨 Claibs is powered by Painting & Decorating Foundation https://stlouispdf.org/ 👑 Presented by DraftKings.
