May 02, 2019 Cardinals vs. Cubs || Drama At Wrigley || Series Preview #11
Cardinals vs Cubs at Wrigley - Series Preview
The Cardinals had to Chicago for the first head-to-head matchup with the rival Cubs over the weekend. And they'll meet a team that's surging, thanks in large part to a dramatic improvement in starting pitching.
But there's been drama that had it's own drama for Cubs fans in the last year, and before we dive into baseball, we tackle the elephant in the room.
Corey Fineran from Ivy Envy helps me work through the Addison Russell dilemma, then we talk Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo finding their groove, how Jason Heyward is changing minds by the day, and how the trio of starters this weekend for Chicago are impossible to predict.

May 01, 2019 Chirps - Episode 26 - The Hottest Bats In Cardinals History
The 2019 Cardinals have a lineup (and then some!) full of HOT bats. But how does this group stack up compared to some of the great offensive teams of the past?
That is the debate Tara and Alex dive into this week. They may not have an MV3, but they might yet have the on-base monster that Mo and Co. have tried to build for the last handful of years. And the result is... FUN.
How do you think this 2019 team could stack up against the best of the best? And is it WAY too early to even have this conversation?!?
Plus, Alex revisits the past with a Chirp of the Week featuring an often forgotten player from an often overlooked era of Cardinals baseball.

April 24, 2019 Chirps - Episode 25 - Revisiting The Outfield Options
The dynamic duo is back together again! In the return of both Tara and Alex, they revisit the idea of the potentially problematic outfield arrangement, including Marcell Ozuna and Dexter Fowler.
The changes to the equation in the last couple of weeks are dramatic enough to earn a few extra minutes of show time, too! With both Ozuna and Fowler swinging hot bats, does the outlook change for the Cardinals daily lineup? What happens when Harrison Bader rejoins the active roster on Wednesday? And where do the at bats for Tyler O'Neill come from now?
Plus, Alex connects Ozuna's wild wall climb, Fowler's home run "assist" and Martínez's unique swing to a little bit of history in this week's Chirp of the week!

April 22, 2019 Cardinals vs Brewers || Home Field Advantage || Series Preview #8
Do the Cardinals have home field advantage... like the Brewers did through the first two series of the year?
The Brewers visit Busch Stadium for the first time in 2019, and they have absolutely OWNED the Cardinals so far. So, the home team has quite a few questions to answer in the next three games...
Can Christian Yelich be stopped? Is the Miller Park effect a real thing?
Cat Garcia joins me to try to answer these questions and more!

April 21, 2019 Cardinals vs Mets The Battle Between Battered Starting Pitching Series Preview #7
It was just last season that the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Mets kicked off the season against one another.
That year didn't turn out like either team had hoped.
This time, both teams have starting rotations that are underperforming, and some young stars who are crazy hot at the plate.
Roger Cormier of Baseball Prospectus joined me to hash it all out ahead of this weekend's series in St. Louis!

April 15, 2019 Cardinals vs Brewers || The Return to MKE || Series Preview #6
Cardinals vs Brewers - The Return to Milwaukee
The Brewers head home from their West Coast trip to meet the Cardinals arriving fresh off of the Mexico Series in Monterrey, Mexico for part two of the NL Central saga.
The last time the Cardinals were there, they dropped three games of four to start the 2019 season on a low note. Brenden Schaeffer was there to see it all and, unlike most Cardinals fans, he wasn't as worried, in spite of the undesired results.
Today, he's joins me to explain why, and talk about what has happened to the Cardinals since that Opening Weekend!
