The efficacy of the pitch clock

In the second and final hour of tonight’s Sports Open Line, Matt Pauley discusses how effective the pitch clock is after just one day of baseball (even though the Cardinals game was over three and a half hours!) KSDK sports reporter Corey Miller then joins the show to recap the magic of Opening Day at Busch Stadium and to discuss Willson Contreras’ injury. Stadium organist for the Cardinals and Blues Jeremy Boyer also makes a guest appearance to give a behind-the-scenes look at his job and to promote his album of organ music “At the Pearly Gates of Baseball Heaven.” Matt wraps up the show sharing the news that minor league baseball players will be making more money this season.
