Bootstrap River

Abner Uribe struck out Alec Burleson, hit the DX “suck it” toward the Cardinals dugout while up six runs, and nearly got overturned by ABS. The lack of awareness was incredible, and we loved every second of it.

The Cardinals sit at 29-25 after a frustrating sweep by the Brewers, including Dustin May carrying a no-hitter into the eighth and still taking the loss. We talk about why May has become one of the best stories on the staff, whether he’s worth extending, and what his outing says about this team.

We also dive into Masyn Winn’s concerning offensive trends, including declining bat speed and hard contact, and whether it’s just a slump or something bigger.

Plus: Brian Torres impresses in his debut, JoJo Romero’s stuff is surging, Liberatore and Pallante keep dealing, Cubs misery, Nootbaar rehab updates, Chase Davis heating up, and the UCLA pitcher with a tiny dinosaur on the mound.
