In the second and final hour of tonight’s show, Matt is joined by MLB writer Will Leitch to discuss the Cardinals’ start to the season and their ability to bounce back from 2023. Will emphasizes the importance of veterans like Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt stepping up to the plate (literally) to lead the young guns of the club. Matt also previews their upcoming series vs the Arizona Diamondbacks and is joined in-studio by At Your Service host Brad Young!
