Nate and Ben go player by player through the 2026 Cardinals, and the central mystery is brutal: the offense dropped 62% in value from the first half to the second, while — somehow — the pitching staff doubled, even after trading Dustin May and JoJo Romero. They dig into Victor Scott's fading experiment, Ivan Herrera's concerning collapse, why they've both gone Burley-pilled, and whether Matthew Liberatore is still a starter.\nPlus the $10 gourd lords, a disastrous bet on Renaissance Faire jousting, a full playoff check-in, and the end-of-season edition of Who Charted?\nHave a question or comment for the show?
