Episode 108 of Chirps Podcast and Alex Crisafulli (@alexcards79) talks with Ben Clemens (@_Ben_Clemens) of fangraphs.com

With Tara out with final wedding preparation, Alex turns to Daniel Shoptaw (C70) to chat Cardinals baseball with. How bad does that San Diego series sting and does it change the narrative around this team? Does it help that it came after a Milwaukee series that had them winning two out of three? The guys also talk about the command issues that the pitching staff has as well as chasing rabbits down trails labeled "Adam Wainwright's history of bombs" and "are the Cubs actually still a threat"? Albert Pujols's decision is also addressed and Daniel revisits the walks in the Chirp of the Week!

Prospects after Dark with actual minor league action to talk about! Get a booze and lets get nuts.

This week, Tara and Alex are talking about the best team in baseball (for the moment) and the best player of their lifetimes who is suddenly, conveniently unaffiliated with that one team in California.

Is a reunion in store? Is it silly to dream of something so irrational? ...do they care?

Find out, then stick around for a Chirp of the Week that emphasizes just how good that Pujols guy was.

Kyle and Ben (both of Birds on the Black) talked current Cardinals MLB players, the new minor league landscape, the rosters for the #STLFly minor league affiliates that were just announced, and lastly answered two questions from a listener (Matt Graves of Redbird Rants) that I couldn't get to last time.

It was a blast!

A maniac talks like an asshole. It's awful. You ask questions and leave comments that save this trainwreck while he drinks too much booze.

Tara and Alex are back this week to talk about how pitching makes everything better... at least when the starters are going well! But will it last? Is it enough?

Plus, Tara sits down with former Cardinal Xavier Scruggs to get his take on the 2021 team and to learn about his new position as the teams Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Consultant.

Then, Alex returns for a Chirp of the Week with an assist from @SenorBush.

New MLB.com Cardinals beat writer Zach Silver joins me for the 12th installment of Conversations with Cerutti.

Dan Buffa, who you probably know from just about everywhere, joins this Conversation with (Ben) Cerutti. Buffa and Cerutti talk St. Louis South City roots, early season Cardinals baseball, lineup construction, those newfangled "xStats," and some St. Louis eateries. Where is that hidden gem of a BBQ restaurant?
