John also addresses the criticism being directed towards hitting coach Turner Ward.

Bernie talks about how blaming hitting coach Turner Ward for the club's hitting woes is as foolish as blaming his predecessor, Jeff Albert, given both of their track records.

Bernie talks about how the Cardinals, despite being improved, still have a lot of holes on their roster and inside the organization. Bernie also offers up some updated thoughts on the Kentucky Derby.

Bernie talks about how Sonny Gray, Kyle Gibson and Lance Lynn have made the Cardinals better by going deep enough into games to minimize having to use fringe relievers.
