Then, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Derrick Goold stops by to talk about which Cardinals player will end the season with the most starts at catcher, Andrew Kninzer’s place in the clubhouse, Willson Contreras’ professionalism, if Jack Flaherty can get on a roll and the NL Central not putting St. Louis away when it had the chance.
