## Resource

Tom Ackerman and Chris Rongey host The Gashouse Gang and discuss the Cardinals losing both games of the doubleheader against the first place Milwaukee Brewers. What was the reasoning behind the Cardinals’ choice of pitchers in the doubleheader? Why wasn’t Brycen Mautz utilized? Tom and Chris explain, and share the reminder that the goal this year is to REBUILD…not to win it all. Plus, ESPN baseball insider Jesse Rogers joins the show, and Cardinals closer Riley O’Brien has been named to the NL All Star team! Listen to The Gashouse Gang on KMOX 104.1 FM, 1120 AM, and the Audacy app weekdays from 12-1PM CT. Watch the livestream on the KMOX Sports YouTube, Facebook, and X pages. St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol joins the show every Tuesday!
