Meet Me At Musial

It's been a historic week for the Cardinals and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) are here to talk all about it.  From the incredibleness that is Albert Pujols to the reliability of Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina, plenty of milestones were on display.  Did that distract the team any?  Is there a concern about their late inning heroics being non-repeatable in October?  Is Jack Flaherty a part of the postseason rotation?  How are pitchers going to be used in the playoffs?  So many questions around a pretty solid team.  Come listen and see if we have answers!

It's been a very good few weeks for the St. Louis Cardinals, but that doesn't mean it's been perfect.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) don't spend as much time as they should marveling at Paul Goldschmidt's Triple Crown run or Nolan Arenado's mastery but instead look around at some of the potential issues of the club.  What does the pitching staff look like when Jack Flaherty returns?  Has Dakota Hudson actually turned it around?  What's up with players like Genesis Cabrera and Paul DeJong?  What may the club do this offseason?  All that plus a plug for our Discord server--DM C70 if you want to join it!

The Cardinals are up four games in the NL Central and that has Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) riding high.  The guys talk about the week that was, including Albert Pujols's heroics and his chances at 700, plus discuss other matters such as who they trust in the bullpen, how important Jordan Montgomery in particular has been to the club, and what is going on with Tyler O'Neill and Paul DeJong.  Give it a listen!

With still a couple of days before the deadline, the Cardinals haven't made any moves in the trade market yet.  That's expected to change and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) are here to talk about what could happen, what probably won't happen, what they want to happen, and what they don't want to happen.  Will the Cardinals bring Juan Soto back with them from Washington?  Should they be active in acquiring Frankie Montas?  How does the fact Paul DeJong is on the taxi squad influence trade thoughts?  A lot of talk about rumors and reports plus the coming return of Yadier Molina.  Come give it a listen before it gets too dated!

Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) had the chance to go to St. Louis and be a part of Blogger Day last week, which means there's a lot of commentary on the comments President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak had for the group.  How do those comments color the swirling trade rumors around Washington Nationals wunderkind Juan Soto?  Could the Cardinals actually be in that?  The guys also talk about the All-Star Game, Yadier Molina's rehab and return, and what pitchers the Cards could look at during the next week in the trade market.  Come spend some time with the guys!

It's a tough stretch for the St. Louis Cardinals.  Is that all it is or should we be worried that there's more to it?  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) look at the past week with all its frustrations and foibles.  What's up with the offense?  Can anyone start clicking at the top of the lineup?  Are the folks on the injured list going to improve things when they return?  Can Mo use a time machine to acquire Zack Wheeler?  Who might join Paul Goldschmidt and Albert Pujols in LA for the All-Star Game?  All of this and much more on this week's show!

After yet another split between the Cardinals and the Brewers, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) get together to talk about that team up north that will be the only real obstacle to a division title.  They also talk about the state of the bullpen, especially the middle relief portion, and what can or should be done at catcher, plus they take a moment to remember Darryl Kile 20 years later.  Come on in and get comfortable!

Daniel (C70 At the Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) are back at it this week, talking about a big week of Cardinal news.  Less so the games and more so things around the team, though Miles Mikolas almost throwing a no-hitter commanded a lot of attention.  The guys talk about their thoughts on almost seeing history as well as what might be a preview of the changing of the guard at catcher, as Yadier Molina heads to the IL.  They discuss the somewhat new atmosphere and approach to the roster and team from this year as well as why it's not bad that they are somewhat of a vanilla organization.  Small technical problems in the middle but hopefully it's still a good listen!

Not only are the Cardinals back in first place in the NL Central but Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) is back in the co-hosting chair!  Allen joins Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and talks about his season coaching Tulsa Hale and the challenges that went along with a new program.  Then the guys get into the week of Cardinal baseball, talking about the road ahead, if Corey Dickerson had the best timing on getting hurt, and what happens when Jack Flaherty and Jordan Hicks are healthy.  Plus, even with him finding a stroke in Memphis, have we seen the last of Paul DeJong?  All that and more for your weekend!

Adam Wainwright likes to go take pictures as he goes on his "Day After Pitching Old Man Walk".  It'd be great to say that Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Alex (Birds on the Black, @alexcards79) painted verbal pictures during this podcast to inform and delight, but that's probably pushing the analogy too far.  The guys do wander down some rabbit trails, such as a former Cardinal outfielder and if anyone will reach 3,000 hits again, but they also talk about the young additions to the Cardinals and their chances the rest of the year.  Sit back and enjoy the rambling!

After the debut of one of the most highly anticipated Star Wars projects to date, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) brings in Kyle Reis (Birds on the Black, @kyler416) to talk...baseball and the minors, what were you expecting?  The guys get into how Kyle adjusts when prospects become major leaguers, whether teams are rushing their players through the minors, what to expect from Nolan Gorman and Matthew Liberatore, and who is coming up from the farm.  OK, OK, there's also Star Wars talk at the very end, mainly about Obi-Wan Kenobi but also other various Star Wars properties.  It's well marked, however, so if you are worried about spoilers you can drop out before we get to that.  Come use Kyle's knowledge, he begs you!

On one end of this past week, you had the old guys of Yadier Molina, Adam Wainwright, and Albert Pujols taking the spotlight.  On the other, the news of the promotions of Nolan Gorman and Matthew Liberatore.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) brings in Ben Godar (Cardinals Off Day, @bengodar) to chat about those bookends plus other things arising out of this week.  What's the bullpen going to look like?  Should the starters be going longer?  Is this offense really as bad as we sometimes think?  Plus the guys mark the possible end of the careers of Matt Carpenter and Carlos Martinez.  Give it a listen!

It was a momentous week for the Cardinals and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and guest host Jason Hill (Viva El Birdos, @JPHill_Cards) are here to talk all about it.  Of course, the big news was the Paul DeJong demotion but the guys talk about a few things before that topic, including the sputtering offense.  Eventually they get to DeJong, the reasons why Tommy Edman is still at second, and why is Nolan Gorman still at Memphis? Plus, after some internet issues, Daniel and Jason discuss some relievers and the manager's use of them.  Settle in for a good conversation! Learn more about your ad choices.

The Cardinals are out on the West Coast, meaning that it's a late start to the night of baseball.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) brings in Russ Robinson (Redbird Rants, @frrobinson1957) to talk about all things Cardinals before the game gets underway.  The guys talk about all manner of things, whether it's the COVID issues around Adam Wainwright, the confidence in the pitching rotation and what sort of depth there is backing it up, and the Cardinal Hall of Fame.  Of course, we are also legally obligated to discuss Paul DeJong's struggles, so that's in there as well.  Come join the fun!

The Cardinals being on an alternate viewing stream on Friday night gave Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and guest Alex (Birds on the Black, @alexcards79) something new to complain about, even if they didn't completely take advantage.  This show isn't all about griping, though, not with the Cardinals off to a strong start to the 2022 season.  What's working with the club right now?  How much fun has it been to see a relaxed Albert Pujols and has he rubbed off on Yadier Molina?  Why does it seem the only Marlin Daniel knows is Jazz Chisholm?  All that and much more on an extended edition of Musial!
