After a week when the podcast could would have been outdated by the time it reached your ears, the Best Podcast in Baseball returns -- out of Milwaukee and into the precarious future for the St. Louis Cardinals. St. Louis radio staple Kevin Wheeler, a contributor to Siruis/XM and KMOX/1120 AM, joins St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold to talk about the nature of covering the COVID-19 outbreak that engulfed the Cardinals on their road trip and what the team looks like as it tries to return to play. The difference between reporting on rumors and riffing on rumors is only the beginning as Wheeler joins the discussion about Dylan Carlson's promotion, the Cardinals' exhausted pitching depth, protocols at the ballpark, and, of course, the notion of a Zero Defect Ziploc. Is that the only thing that will keep the 2020 season -- for the Cardinals or for baseball -- from coming undone. Consider the Cardinals a cautionary tale. The Best Podcast in Baseball, brought to you weekly by Closets by Design, is a production of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.
