We are deep into a beautiful Tuesday broadcast on The Starting Lineup, and we have a jam-packed second hour for you! We start off talking Springfield Cardinals baseball with VP and GM Dan Reiter. We dive headfirst into the massive 12-game homestand at Route 66 Stadium, breaking down roster adjustments from High-A Peoria and Josh Baez's explosive play in Memphis. Dan gives us the full run-down on the summer promotional calendar, including 5,000 free hot dogs, Freedom Week fireworks, and the return of the viral Ozarks Snipe Hunters theme uniforms. We also get his perspective as a fan on the stability of the Texas League amidst future MLB expansion rumors. 

After wrapping up with Dan, the guys offer up some serious hot takes on a wild night of sports news. Art Haines breaks down Oklahoma’s dominant, improbable 13-1 late-season run to secure the College Baseball World Series national championship over North Carolina. Finally, we transition to the hardwood ahead of tonight's NBA Draft, Reacting to Dusty May’s shock exit from Michigan to coach the Dallas Mavericks, blockbuster Giannis movement rumors, and a deep-dive into local Parkview star Trevon Brazile's draft prospects.
