Chris Rongey and John Hancock (in for Amy Marxkors) welcome KMOX Sports host Matt Pauley to the Chris & Amy Show. Matt shares a surprising family connection to Mark Twain. The discussion shifts to the St. Louis Cardinals’ recent momentum, highlighting strong series wins against Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Washington, and their success against teams with winning records. They spotlight Ivan Herrera’s offensive surge, Jordan Walker’s potential rebound, Nolan Gorman’s limited playing time, and Gordon Graceffo’s fit in the bullpen.
