Former Cards pitcher Brad Thompson, who is entrenched as a co-host of the popular “The Fast Lane” afternoon drive-time show at St. Louis sports-talk radio stalwart WXOS (101.1 FM), is about to have his role expanded significantly in the rotation of analysts in the Redbirds’ television booth.
The affable Thompson was added to Fox Sports Midwest’s Cardinals booth for 18 games last season, when Al Hrabosky’s schedule was reduced by about the same amount. All of Hrabosky’s work this season on Cards telecasts will be in the studio, which previously was reported in this space and now has been confirmed by FSM.
