The St. Louis Cardinals travel to Pittsburgh for the first time this weekend to take on the Pirates. While the Pirates are performing better than expected this season, this is still a series the Cardinals should win easily. Ethan Smith of Locked On Pirates joins the show today to give an update on both teams, break down the series and give his predictions for the weekend! Ethan and Lucas also talk about how the Cardinals are managing their prospects differently, and why the Cardinals will be seeing more success from their prospects. WANT MORE DAILY ST.
