Like that one time The Critic met The Simpsons or when Arrested Development stumbled into Law & Order, the Cardinals offseason starts with a crossover you didn't know you wanted and many years in the making: The Cat Chat, featuring the award-winning Jim Hayes, of Fox Sports Midwest fame, and the Best Podcast in Baseball join forces. In the same studio. No script. No limits. Plenty of regional cable excellence. St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold, host of the Best Podcast in Baseball, visits the Cat Chat recording studios to discuss what's ahead for the Cardinals in 2019, Harrison Bader, Dexter Fowler, Bryce Harper, the entirety of the rotation, and much more. Two of the reporters who travel everywhere the Cardinals go -- one on the charter, the other connecting through O'Hare -- discuss how their jobs have changed and what's around the corner as the team creates its own media imprint. The Best Podcast in Baseball is a production of StlToday.com and The Post-Dispatch, and it's brought to you each week by Lumberlend Co, home of the original bat mug.
