Episode Details

Here's a recap of the latest Cards Hub 365 podcast hosted by Joe Roderick and Mike Claiborne:

The St. Louis Cardinals had a successful day, sweeping their split-squad games against the Mets and Nationals. The highlight performances included Mason Wynn getting his first hit, Nolan Arenado driving in runs, and Victor Scott continuing his strong hitting. Pitchers Michael McGreevy and Andre Pallante both delivered solid outings, with McGreevy throwing three scoreless innings in West Palm Beach and Pallante doing the same in Jupiter.

However, the most concerning news was an injury to Jordan Walker, who appeared to tweak his knee while making a routine play. The severity is still unknown, and further evaluation will take place in Jupiter.

Other key discussions included the potential role of Victor Scott II, who is making a strong case to start the season in the majors, and the ongoing competition for rotation spots. Matthew Liberatore also had a strong outing, but his role might be more valuable out of the bullpen. McGreevy remains an intriguing option as a starter if injuries create an opportunity.

The show wrapped up with talk about MLB’s top 100 prospect rankings, with J.J. Weatherholt surprisingly listed as the Cardinals’ top prospect. Claiborne expressed skepticism over how these rankings are determined, while Roderick noted the continued debate over Takoa Roby’s place in the organization.

Looking ahead, Sonny Gray is set to make his first spring training appearance, with expectations for him to throw around 50 pitches. Claiborne praised Gray’s preparation and approach to pitching.

Overall, the episode covered the Cardinals’ positive performances, roster battles, injury concerns, and future pitching plans.
