[COMT] Chaim Bloom's Masterclass: Why This Cardinals Rebuild is Actually Fun (feat. Jandy)
Description
The St. Louis Cardinals are officially entering the 100-game countdown, and the vibes around Busch Stadium are shifting fast!
In this episode of Cardinals on My Time, Scott Plaza is joined by the undisputed king of Cardinals Twitter vibes, Jandy (@JandySTL). We break down the electric 10-run comeback against the Cincinnati Reds, the massive return of Lars Nootbaar ("Unk") to the lineup, and whether his presence transforms the clubhouse culture.
Plus, we tackle the upcoming MLB Trade Deadline: Should Chaim Bloom stand pat, buy bullpen depth, or pull off a shocking "retool" by trading away guys like Dustin May and Nootbaar for high-end prospects? We also dive deep into Jordan Walker’s incredible 180-degree turnaround, JJ Wetherholt's Rookie of the Year trajectory, and why keeping the petty rivalry alive with Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Chicago Cubs is essential for the fan base.
