Happy Saturday, Cardinals fans!
The writing team is back today with another episode of the VEB Podcast. This time we were joined by Katie Woo, who does a brilliant job covering the Cardinals’ beat for The Athletic.
We recorded the podcast Thursday afternoon, so much of the conversation focused on Adam Wainwright and his continued issues with velocity. During his three-inning start on Thursday, Waino averaged just under 85 mph on his fastball velocity. That was essentially the same as his previous start this spring.
This is particularly concerning because Wainwright was supposed to be ramping up his throwing program early before he heads out for the World Baseball Classic.
