Waino and Yadi are the most pure thing in baseball

No Crying In Baseball

Patti and the Pottymouth talk all things Cardinals with guest Tara Wellman, co-host of the Chirps and Gateway to Baseball Heaven podcasts. Tara takes us through the aftermath of the COVID-19 shutdown, the responsibility of national media to get the facts straight, baseball towns, and “The Cardinal Way.”

We look at the lightning rod that is Yadier Molina, and the resurgence of Cy Young-ish Adam Wainwright. Tara is happily on the I told you so end of knowing great things would come from Kolten Wong. Tara walks Pottymouth through the pitching squad past and present.

Tara leads us on a deep dive into MLB’s power play to take control of the Minors in which both player development and fan development will take a serious hit. Fewer teams lead to the loss of access points for communities, and the loss of the Albert Pujols of the future.
