Tom Ackerman on NFL Draft Chaos, Cardinals Rotation Questions, Battlehawks Win, and World Cup Ticket Pricing Shock

The segment kicks off with sports talk focused on the NFL Draft, including criticism of the Chiefs’ aggressive trade-up and discussion of defensive priorities across the league, while highlighting St. Louis connections like Jeremiah Love’s high draft selection and the local excitement at CBC. The conversation shifts into Cardinals baseball, where Tom Ackerman breaks down a .500-level team identity, praising emerging players like Nathan Church while noting inconsistencies from Jordan Walker, Victor Scott’s offensive struggles, bullpen workload issues, and the ongoing development of a young, volatile pitching staff. Attention then moves to the Battlehawks, who notch a win over their former coach and continue to draw strong local support despite the UFL’s short season format. The segment closes with World Cup ticket pricing concerns, slow early sales for marquee matches, and optimism around strong local soccer demand, especially with a high-profile Bosnia-Herzegovina friendly expected to pack St. Louis.
