The Prospect Move The Cardinals Can No Longer Avoid | Bernie Miklasz + Randy Karraker

The Cubs are paying five struggling hitters more than $570 million, so how on earth are the Cardinals tied with them heading into this weekend? Bernie Miklasz joins Randy Karraker to unpack the stat nobody is talking about and the real reason St. Louis keeps winning the pitching-health battle. In this week's visit, Bernie and Randy break down the Cardinals' brutal May offensive slump, including a home run rate down nearly 57 percent and a historically bad mark with runners in scoring position. They make the case for promoting prospects Joshua Baez and Jimmy Crooks, debate playing time for Victor Scott II under Oli Marmol, and dig into the young power arms (Tanner Franklin and Liam Doyle) rising up Keith Law's top prospect list. Plus: why Milwaukee's front office, not Craig Counsell, deserves the credit, and a full NL Central outlook with the Reds and Pirates as the wild cards. Presented by: The Medicare Man, Ryan Raphael.
