Seeing Red Episode 145: A Remembrance of Walt Jocketty
Seeing Red
Bernie MIklasz and Will Leitch start our show with a look back at the career of Walt Jocketty, the former Cardinals general manager who died last week. Jocketty is in many ways the orchestrator of the Cardinals success over a 30 year stretch, and he's indicative of what the Cardinals have lost. They also discuss Carlos Marmol's bullpen usage and what should be reasonably expected from this team. Also, don't forget our book event for Will's next novel at Left Bank Books on June 26. Fun!

info_outlineSpring Training is, at its core, about optimism, and we've got, at last, a little bit of that thanks to JJ Wetherholt, the first-round pick who launched a gorgeous opposite field homer in the Cardinals' second Grapefruit League game. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch discuss the youngster, as well as Nolan Arenado and, disturbingly, Erick Fedde trade rumors.
