In tonight’s Sports Open Line, Matt Pauley features clips from former Cardinals pitching coach Mike Maddux’s interview with Chris “Mad Dog” Russo on MLB Network. Maddux speaks candidly on the Cardinals postseason failure, including how Ryan Helsley’s finger injury was handled and why Jose Quintana was taken out of Game 1 when he was. Matt is then joined by Ben Arnet, KOMU TV Sports Director in Columbia, to discuss Mizzou basketball’s impressive victory over Wichita State in overtime despite missing Isiaih Mosley. Matt caps off the hour sharing the news that Boston Bruins announcer Jack Edwards is in hot water for making fat jokes towards former Blue-now-Lightning forward Pat Maroon live on-air.
