The autopsy continues, this time sorting the 2026 Cardinals into who got lucky and who got robbed. JJ Wetherholt was the unluckiest man on the roster and is primed to break out; Kyle Leahy and Michael McGreevy had “zombie” seasons the regression ghouls will come for; and Nate and Ben map out the bullpen, the Jimmy Crooks catching puzzle, and two (three?) very deserving Gold Glove finalists.
Plus an $8.99 gourd, a zucchini canoe, a cursed week for Chicago, a full playoff check-in, and the triumphant return of the best game they’ve ever made: Pope or Nope.
