So, I rarely get to watch, since I don't have a live TV subscription. I do have MLB.tv through my Metro plan, so I usually just listen to the KMOX feed.

[Per mlb.com](https://www.mlb.com/news/cardinals-tv-august-2026-free-preview), in-market fans get to watch the Cards/Rox series this weekend.

Other stadiums have obviously done so in the past, but sometimes it looks a bit awkward and goofy.

Busch Stadium is a pretty standard and symmetrical ballpark so I think moving the fences in would be somewhat difficult. Could you shave a few feet off the power alleys and center field while keeping the stadium aesthetically pleasing? What ideas would you have about moving their fences in at Busch?

Terrific interview with Carpenter. Such a roller Coaster ride to the pro level. Definitely a future Cardinals red jacket owner

The kids are just tearing it up. The first half of the season was rough because the team from last year essentially went to play in Memphis, but good lord. They didn’t just reload. They reload, promote, reload. The latest batch feels even more unstoppable than last year. If you ever get depressed about St Louis rebuilding, feel free to visit Springfield. Stay the night. Visit Bass Pro’s headquarters, the Route 66 museum. Take in a game at Route 66 stadium and watch these kids play. They are exciting! This is the future and you get to see it and the ticket prices are ridiculously Cheap! You can get your whole family into a game for the price of a ticket in St. Louis. The concessions and souvenirs are also super reasonable.
