Adam Wainwright is undeniably good at interviews - A Hunt and Peck

Adam Wainwright has not been having the season he would like to have so far (though there is still time to turn it around, end on a high note, and be a force in the postseason), but even if his pitches are not a crisp as they usually are, his humor is still on point. Watch Waino entertain in his interview with Intentional Talk below, where he cracks jokes in addition to discussing his charitable endeavors with his foundation, Big League Impact.

Love you Waino! You will get through this slump!
