I'm Brian Webber joined by our MLB analyst Kevin Kennedy -- of the St. Louis Cardinals are hanging around here in early September -- what -- the biggest issues. Heading down the --
Well I think really they got a couple things are going on internally right now between Tony La Russa and Colby Rasmussen center fielder Tony came out today and actually swap that today everything spine -- just got blown out of proportion. You know not every player's gonna be happy with playing time -- any manager and the other rumors are Colby was a guy that said he wanted to be traded at one point time. Tony is actually apparently confirmed that -- will deny that but nonetheless that's little issue right now there was an issue while back with Ryan -- when he got traded was. Those -- little sparkle going on there with Tony but. This is not unusual for players and in playing time you know -- Jays come -- and done a nice job for them to get some playing time. And you know the cardinals' biggest thing right now as they got to win ball games and got to swing the bats. You know they have the pitching to do it with Wainwright carpet and and they got me Garcia. But really they've got to swing the bats and they miss Brian -- would probably a little bit but there's enough there to pick up the slack and about one thing was very uninteresting on the Kobe -- the situation by the way Albert pools came out and it doesn't wanna be here. Let's get rid of -- that's slightest idea main guys speaking out right now and I think that speaks a lot for Tony La Russa when your horse comes out speaks you know basically in back to manager.
If the Cardinals don't make the playoffs can we expect major changes in the off season.
I think there's a possibility Tony's been -- since what 1995. That's a possibility. I don't think you know which John -- elect -- of fairly new GM there when -- jocular they've got a nice smooth seamless transition I don't think there's really an issue there. I think it really will be about Tony checked in himself insane. In some way do I still get the message across -- these guys because the pinellas thome one time -- agency Alliedsignal. Ten years from manager once spot an awful long time five years is just enough well. Tony -- 1516. Years Eric yes and and that's an awful lot that's a Tony like to -- himself each year I certainly understand it. If he's not managing there though and I think he will my gut says he will become engine there his passion is too high I think he's an -- somewhere.
Can't we appreciate the insight not a member of foxsports.com. Has you covered for all your baseball needs for Kevin I'm -- We'll see next.
