    Are You Excited to Watch the 2026 St. Louis Cardinals? | Nevermind, Bloom just left off Velaszquez!
    Mar 23 2026
    The Opening Day roster—and lineup for that matter—is all but decided, so we have some final things to talk about and one big questions to ask: Are St. Louis fans excited to watch the rebuilding 2026 St. Louis Cardinals? Bloom added a couple pitchers who bring velocity we haven’t seen, the offense has a higher ceiling but a lower floor & tickets should be easy to find the whole summer… And just a couple last things about JJ Wetherholt, Jordan Walker & Richard Fitts. Oh and during the show Bloom burns some of that good will as we discover the Velazquez-to-the-minors news! Plus a big weekend of NCAA Tournament action as the Tigers disappoint in Round 1, the Billikens make a statement in Round 2 & the Illini move out to Round 3! 0:00 -- Some thoughts on March Madness to kick off the show! 2:40 -- There are no other options--so let Wetherholt bat leadoff until June! 6:35 -- Has Jordan Walker's biggest issue been overthinking? 13:20 -- Are you excited about the Cardinals rebuild? 26:10 -- The bad part about baseball is we can't get away from talking about revenue 37:40 -- We get the breaking news about Wetherholt making the roster AND VELAZQUEZ DIDNT 43:50 -- Why are the Cardinals letting a 40-man roster decision hold them up.
