I have shared a couple of these so far, but the latest version of the Cardinals mic’d up was just uploaded to the MLB YouTube page. This features Harrison Bader, always a great mic’d up personality, and former Cardinal Kolten Wong. I normally find these boring, but lately someone has been doing a great job of pulling fun clips.
My favorite quotes and moments:
Every time Harrison Bader talks to Yadier Molina (sometimes while drinking a dang energy drink, which is hilarious to me for some reason)
Kolten Wong : I’ll tell you what, there is a lot of dudes here with their shirts off.
Wong: I just turned 30 this year and my God I’m hurtin’.
Kolten Wong talking to Nolan Arenado
Harrison Bader to Andrew Knizner: You ever ear-holed a Hypervolt?
Knizner to Bader: Well, you’re playing against the best in the world, man. Sometimes they beat you.
There are more than this, but it is getting to be too many so I will cut it off here!

what the cardinals are up to...
Miles Mikolas and Carlos Martínez will return to the rotation against the Cubs this weekend, Mike Shildt said. For Mikolas, whichever day he pitches will mark his first big league game since the 2019 NLCS.
