Perimeter Powerhouses, SPS Sports Shifts & Facility Wars

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.

Oklahoma Shocks Omaha, Giannis Takes South Beach, and the NBA Draft Blueprint

In this hour of The Starting Lineup, we bring you a heavy-hitting local sports double header! We are first joined by the legendary longtime former Missouri State Bears baseball coach Keith Guttin. We look back at his iconic 2003 trip to Omaha, break down tonight's national championship decider between Oklahoma and North Carolina, and explore the wild financial landscape of modern college baseball where premium talent commands upwards of half a million dollars.

Then, Springfield native and former Kickapoo High School standout Trevon Brazile calls in live from town ahead of his NBA Draft watch party. We dive into his unique journey through the SEC, playing under John Calipari at Arkansas, his recovery from a major ACL injury, and his dream fit with the Chicago Bulls. Plus, Ned Reynolds, Art Haines, and Guy Newcomb talk global soccer fever at Arrowhead Stadium, the legendary anniversary of Joe Louis vs. Max Schmeling, and evaluate whether the St. Louis Cardinals' high-flying offense can mask their underlying starting pitching concerns.
