The Cardinal Nation’s Brian Walton is joined by analyst Kyle Reis for a weekly discussion of St. Louis Cardinals news, with a focus on player development and the minor leagues.

Our podcasts are quick hitting and timely, covering a short list of current topics in approximately 30 minutes. More information on everything we discuss can be found in articles here at The Cardinal Nation.

Brian and Kyle return to the subject of injuries to pitching prospects, as Sem Robberse became the fourth Triple-A starter on the shelf. That led to a discussion of system depth, not only with starters, but also with relievers and position players. Against the backdrop of St. Louis’ inconsistencies, the ongoing journeys of Nolan Gorman and Jordan Walker and the potentially high expectations for JJ Wetherholt were covered.

Check out Kyle’s work at Birds on the Black and his very popular Prospects After Dark interactive podcasts. He is also one of the most informative and entertaining Cardinals related social media follows at @kyler416.

The audio is also simulcast each week via the Scoops Sports Network and your favorite podcast apps.
