Episode Description

Spring training games start tomorrow, and the Cardinals are already tipping their hand. The first three starters, plus a leadoff experiment, tell you exactly what St. Louis is trying to become in 2026. Joe Roderick and Ryan Fagan break down what to watch right away, starting with Matthew Liberatore on Saturday, Kyle Leahy on Sunday, and Michael McGreevy on Monday, and what that order might imply about the rotation pecking order. They also dig into the leadoff conversation, including JJ Wetherholt getting looks at the top, and what it means for options like Masyn Winn, Victor Scott II, and Lars Nootbaar. Plus, the big question everyone wants answered: Does McGreevy unveil the new splitter in games, and what does it say about his ceiling if it plays? ⭐️ Become an STL Sports Central Insider: https://stlsportscentral.com/2025/11/15/stl-sports-central-insiders 👑 Presented by DraftKings.
