Tom Ackerman Breaks Down Spain's World Cup Dominance and a Cardinals Bullpen Meltdown

Sports voice Tom Ackerman joins Mark to relive Spain's dominant 1-0 World Cup final win over Argentina, crediting Spain's disciplined possession game and praising the tournament's record TV ratings as a sign soccer's American audience keeps growing — even if Tom says US player development still has a long way to go. Then it's on to the Cardinals, coming off a rough loss that exposed bullpen troubles and a stagnant offense, leaving them in a tight wild card race with the Pirates closing in. Tom stays bullish on rookie sensation Jordan Walker after his viral Home Run Derby performance, predicting a monster contract in his future if the Cardinals commit to developing homegrown talent rather than chasing free agents against big-market teams.
