Exploring the Cardinals' Offensive Challenges, Pitching Evolution, & More With Blake Newberry

Birds On A Blue Note

Unpack the enigma behind the St. Louis Cardinals' hitting slump with special guest Blake Newberry of Viva El Birdos & The Cardinal Nation as we dissect this curveball in their offensive strategy. This can't-miss conversation takes a deeper look at what might be impacting star sluggers like Arenado and Goldschmidt.
Dive headfirst into the technical trenches with a detailed analysis of Lars bat speed and Walker's promising power. Our chat with Blake not only showcases these players' potential but also zooms out to examine the pivotal role of player development in the AAA leagues. The confluence of analytics and skill refinement is painting the future of baseball, and we're giving you a front-row seat to the intricate dance of mechanics, strategy, and physical prowess shaping tomorrow's champions.
Switch up the pace as we change gears to the mound, where the Cardinals' pitching strategy echoes a league-wide evolution, favoring a diverse mix of sliders and off-speed pitches over fastballs. We dissect the Liberatore's situation along with his pitching style, debate the Cardinals' rotation options, and peak into the crystal ball of potential trades and rising prospects. And to close out the game, we step up to the plate with draft predictions, considering how the Cardinals' offensive needs could call the shots in their future lineup.
