In this quick-hit edition of Serving It Up, host Jim Hayes catches up with Cardinals legends Matt Holliday and Lance Lynn. While Kyle Gibson is MIA (probably mentoring over lunch), the guys riff on everything from tax day extensions to life at Triple-A. They dig up some good-natured dirt on Skip Schumaker, share stories from the World Baseball Classic, and get candid about the surreal experience of pitching in front of small crowds at Busch Stadium. It’s classic clubhouse energy—jabs, laughs, and just enough chaos to remind you why you love baseball talk like this.
