Illinois star Keaton Wagler officially became the second-highest NBA Draft selection in program history Tuesday night when the Los Angeles Clippers selected him with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Wagler's remarkable freshman season included consensus All-America honors, Big Ten Freshman of the Year, the Jerry West Award, and a trip to the Final Four. He now joins an organization looking to build around a talented young core and is the highest Illini draft pick since Deron Williams went No. 3 overall in 2005. We'll break down why the Clippers viewed Wagler as the perfect fit at No. 5, what his NBA role could look like immediately, and how his selection continues Illinois' recent pipeline of NBA talent. Plus, the St. Louis Cardinals announced significant organizational changes as Bill DeWitt III was promoted from President to Chief Executive Officer. Meanwhile, Anuk Karunaratne was elevated to President of Business Operations, while Bill DeWitt Jr. remains Chairman and Principal Owner. The move represents the next phase of the Cardinals' long-term succession plan and further separates baseball operations under Chaim Bloom from the club's business operations. We'll discuss why many Cardinals fans are reacting skeptically to the announcement, what it means for the future direction of the franchise, and whether this signals meaningful change or simply a reshuffling of titles.

Cardinals President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom joins to talk about the start for Nootbaar, if anything concerns him right now, Gorman and Scott, plus an update on injured players and draft prep. Bernie Miklasz talks Cardinals doing a 6-man rotation, Baez and Blaze Jordan.

Albert Breer's deep dive into the Myles Garrett trade reveals that Andrew Berry had a secret think tank of some of the most respected executives in sports, including Sam Presti and Chaim Bloom, helping him work up the nerve to trade a future Hall of Famer. The Browns handled this departure so cleanly that Garrett was literally sitting in Jimmy Haslam's house for a final summit after the deal was done, a far cry from the ugly Baker Mayfield divorce that left everyone bitter. Ken makes the point that the Browns have basically admitted to the whole world they do not think they are good enough to compete right now, so the pressure is on to make every single one of those picks count.

The Cardinals are 31-28 after a rough stretch, but the underlying talent keeps ascending. Dustin May might be turning into an ace, the pitching staff's strikeout rate jumped from 30th to 13th in a single month, and Jimmy Crooks just got called up as the primary catcher.We recap Blogger Day with Chaim Bloom, check in on Masyn Winn's signs of life, debate who stays when Nootbaar returns, and close with the Vibes Guys Draft — building the dream blunt rotation of the most fun Cardinals of the last 15 years.Play Nate's game at: https://crossonym.com/ !Have a question or comment for the show?

Chris Blair previews the Indy 500, the growing excitement around the Bommarito Automotive Group 500, and reflects on NASCAR star Kyle Busch and the atmosphere surrounding race weekend. Then, Diego Gigliani discusses St. Louis CITY SC's 3–0 win over Austin FC, the club's “Summer of Soccer” plans, and World Cup activations across St. Louis. Finally, Chaim Bloom breaks down Bryan Torres' inspiring MLB journey, Jordan Walker's recent surge, and the Cardinals' evolving pitching plans with Bryson Mautz joining the rotation.

Chaim Bloom joins Tom Ackerman to discuss the Cardinals' doubleheader split with the Reds, Bryan Torres' emotional breakthrough to the major leagues, and Jordan Walker continuing to show growth with quality at-bats and power. Bloom also breaks down the promotion of Bryson Mautz, roster moves involving Ryan Fernandez and Matt Svanson, plus rehab updates on pitching prospects Tekoah Roby, Cooper Hjerpe, and Brandon Clarke.

The Cardinals are 28-19 and there's a shirtless movement happening in right field. Tarps off started as one row of guys on a Friday night, expanded to the entire section by the weekend, and now the Cardinals have officially designated it as a high-energy zone. We dig into what it means, how long it can last, and whether two guys who have admittedly aged out of the tarps off crew can still appreciate it from a distance.Nolan Gorman is having an MVP-level May. His expected wOBA in May is .427, he's leading the team in exit velocity and barrels, and his defense at third has quietly become solid. We talk about whether this version of Gorman is different from the streaks we've seen before, and what it means if the Cardinals actually have their third baseman locked in.Matthew Liberatore had 14 strikeouts over two starts and a 7.45 ERA. That gap between his stuff and his results is the Liberatore experience in a nutshell, and a .536 BABIP might be the explanation. We talk about whether this is just bad luck or the continuation of a real pattern.Plus: Matt Pushard is back with a completely different pitch mix, George Soriano's changeup is reaching Devin Williams territory, Victor Scott's role as a designated speed guy, Lars Nootbaar's rehab is going well, Jimmy Crooks keeps mashing, Nelson Velazquez is dominating Triple-A, Chaim Bloom dropped hints about taking on salary at the deadline, and Busch Stadium officially announced the tarps off section.On the league side: Colt Emerson gets called up and homers in his first game, Pete Crow-Armstrong gets fined for yelling at a White Sox fan, and the Phillies are 16-5 since firing Rob Thomson.Have a question or comment for the show?
