ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - Before baseball was suspended, we got the chance to talk to a couple of St. Louis Cardinals pitchers about their social media following and how they use it to impact people. 

Jack Flaherty and Adam Wainwright, who are probably on opposite ends of their MLB careers, have a very similar view about using it to help and inspire. 

See what they had to say in the video at the top of this page. 

Both have also been vocal on their respective Twitter accounts about the recent civil unrest that has followed the death of another black person by police in the U.S. Here's some of what they said:
