    Holliday and Lynn on Travel Grind, Meanest Ballparks, and Who They'd Never Trade | Serving It Up

    In this edition of Serving It Up, Jim Hayes talks with Matt Holliday and Lance Lynn from Milwaukee's Pfister Hotel to talk baseball life and a little paranormal. The guys trade stories about the Pfister's ghost lore, the reality of 20-games-in-20-days travel, and how much the grind affects performance.  Then they dig into the Cardinals' "runway" season: what the club has actually learned about individual players, roster redundancy, and who—if anyone—should be untouchable.  They also hit on Nolan Arenado's late-season push to play, how injury decisions get made between team doctors and second opinions, and which cities have the toughest fans.  To close, it's awards chatter and October guesses: catcher impact vs slugger value in the AL, Shohei's two-way dominance in the NL, and which clubs feel built for a short-series bullpen war.
