A special extended edition of the Best Podcast in Baseball that includes some remembrances of Chris Duncan, the Cardinals outfielder, World Series champion, and St. Louis radio personality who died Sept. 6, at 38. Kevin Wheeler, who got his St. Louis start at KMOX/1120 AM, joins the podcast to discuss all things Cardinals, all things lineup, and all things Randy Arozarena with BPIB host Derrick Goold, baseball writer at The St. Louis Post-Dispatch and StlToday.com. Wheeler is asked, given how well the Cardinals have played, if he had any second thoughts about his skewering takes on the management of the team coming out of July. A colleague of Duncan's how the former big leaguer always made his colleagues feel "like one of the boys." Wheeler worked with Duncan at a local all-sports station in St. Louis and recalls how the former big leaguer made all of his colleagues feel "like one of the boys." And if you've read this far, let me also say, thank you for your continued support of this podcast.

The BPIB goes BPOC. Big Podcast on Campus. With school back in session, St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Ben Frederickson joins Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold to discuss what the Cardinals could learn from last year's September stumble. The Cardinals, the only team to win 20 games in August 2018, frayed toward the end and lost of eight of their 11 games against division foes and five of their final six games to slip from contention to late dismissal, but dismissal nonetheless from another October. Explored in this episode of the Best Podcast in Baseball, brought to you by Closets by Design of St. Louis, are whether the Cardinals can count on experience as an edge in the season's final month, when the pitching reckoning will happen, how Jack Flaherty has asserted himself as a fall pitcher, and what's up with Marcell Ozuna's future? The farm system rankings are also discussed as well as Dylan Carlson's role -- and how to square the team's plan for him with the trumpeting of September experience. (Editor's note: This podcast was recorded before the results of Lane Thomas' CT scan revealed a fracture in his right wrist.)
