This week is exciting in Cardinals Nation for multiple reasons, with Opening Day being the most important element of it all. The Cardinals return to St. Louis on Thursday and will take on the Tampa Bay Rays to open the 2026 season. Gabe and I had the privilege of sitting down with Pre/Post Host for the Cardinals Radio Network, Matt Pauley. St. Louis listeners can hear him on 1120 KMOX AM/104.1 FM. Matt is also on from 5-6 PM Monday-Friday for “Rush Hour Sports.” On applicable nights, you can hear Matt on “Sports open line,” where listener calls drive the show, and Matt or whoever is hosting answers and expands on the sports topics asked.
Matt Pauley is one of the hardest-working people around the Cardinals sphere, and there aren’t many who are more in the know than he is. We covered SO MANY topics with Matt, who was very gracious with his time. Matthew Liberatore, Ivan Herrera, Nolan Gorman, Jordan Walker, Riley O’Brien, George Soriano, JJ Wetherholt, and more!
