Baseball Fans!
Today's question on Bullpen Banner is: what one thing do the Royals, and what one thing do the Cardinals need to do to improve their 2024 season? Kansas City Royals have had a lot of close one run losses. St. Louis Cardinals... there is no explaining. It's Deja Vu (2023) all over again. The negative influences in the 2023 Cardinal clubhouse have moved on. So what's the problem?
Call in and be a part of the show 417-447-1777 Wednesday at 4 pm on 92.3 KICK.
