## Resource

Chris Rongey & Bernie Miklasz have the show handled today, breaking down where the Cardinals stand after failing to complete the Padres sweep. Also on the show: Why a low threshold for making it into the playoffs has to factor into the conversation; Kansas City Star's Blair Kerkhoff on the World Cup in Kansas City and the issues popping up with traffic and hotel rooms; Why the Cardinals aren't rushing to bring up Joshua Baez; What we need to see from Liberatore after a few rough starts; and why Dustin May pitching like an ace could shift how Chaim Bloom thinks about 2026.
