Last week, guest co-host Ben Godar and Alex asked if this Cardinals team is for real. This week, Tara returns to find that they just might be.
A marathon weekend that could have ripple effects for days to come went from nightmare to day dream, in large part because of surprisingly good starting pitching (and also some exhilarating late-game heroics).
But, the back-to-back doubleheaders mean Michael Wacha pitches Wednesday on short rest, and there's reason to question the wisdom behind that choice.
Has Mike Shildt done enough to earn some trust?
And, is Kolten Wong playing MVP-caliber baseball?
Plus, Alex's Chirp of the Week harkens back to a home run not completely unlike Paul "Big Ac" DeJong's stadium-damaging blast days ago. Only this story features THE Big Mac, and a homer fit for legends.
