Jay Jr. back, we welcome Joe Strauss to 'pee pee talk', encourage Joe to #PLTD wonderful captains log, friends of Joe's on the program this morning, always enjoys Joe's chat on StlToday.com, start with the Cardinals being shut out 2-0 as Corey Kluber nearly no-no's the Birds with 18 Ks, interesting situation involvng the baseballs that John Lackey noticed, happened one time with John Smoltz in Cincinnati, generally the league plus home club handle the baseballs before the game, interesting with Deflategate, high praise for Kluber from Matt Carpenter, #BFIB checks in with Joe claiming that Kluber nailed Matt Holliday on purpose plus Terry Francona doesn't like the Cardinals, wonder if we'll see anything carry over for the rubber match, Lackey hit Jason Kipnis later in the game that lead to ejection of Francona plus warnings to each bench, 'Lackey knows cheating since he played for Francona in Boston' according to "I Shaved My Balls For This", interesting that Mike Shannon was criticizing Lackey for not retaliating in the bottom of the first, discussion of roster move coming soon, could be difficult to pull off this morning with early first pitch, maybe Randal Grichuk could ready to go, Jon Jay has had issue with hand since Spring Training, slightly surprised that Jay has not been DL'ed yet, hearing positive reports about Grichuk as of late, big series ahead for the Cards with the Tigers coming to town, weather may play a part, biggest element of the weekend could be Carlos Martinez, looking at his most recent starts in which the young hurler has let emotion effect his mechanics/control, early season test after some recent trends going back to last weekend when things seem to change a bit after Pirates turned their 4-5-4 triple play, Rick Hummel yesterday on the show said he liked the Reds to be the biggest division threat (to the Birds) whereas Joe picks the Bucs, reasons for liking the Pirates over the Reds, Tim is thinking the Cubs..., RESET!, lots to cover as the show progresses, SUPPORT THE SPONSORS!!!, Joe has been big proponent of Cardinals looking outside the organization since Spring Training for extra pitching for the starting rotation, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports joins the show, nothing in dispute about Cards pitching depth being set, definitely cannot rely on Michael Wacha even throwing 150 innings this season, six-man rotation usaully means the club is throwing out 'non-starter', very tough to manage, probably lose more you gain, minor league arsenal not what it used to be, Ken just does not see how the Cardinals get Hamels to STL, ball clubs do not concede at this time of the season, Ken believes the Reds will need to sell yet they're barely out of the race, huge season ahead for the Reds in which the writing is on the wall, rest of the trade market for starting pitchers, Scott Kazmir obvious, Aaron Harang too, John Mozeliak knows he will have to address all the pitching needs at some point, Ken winning an Emmy for Outstanding Sports Reporting, nice shift to Ellen calling, she's very curious about Joe's recent column about the Blues especially his conversation with owner Tom Stillman, owner was reluctant to comment on the future of any personnel, quick thought on Baltimore, loose comparison to George Clooney, Ellen kind of have Joe's number..., now we know why Willie or Jay didn't have a chance with Ellen..., reason for lack of 'pee pee talk' this morning, little brother complex between Baltimore and Washington DC, little brother complex here towards Chicago, why Cardinals fans need their ball club to beat the Cubs, some kind of inferiority complex happening, KC thinks their thing with STL is like STL's thing with Chicago yet a lot of us do not agree with that premise, Joe mentioned the airport really being quite telling for where STL is at this time, first thing that people see when landing, just depressing especially if you travel quite a bit & experience with friends leaving the area growing up here.
