It's been a while, Reds fans. Welcome back to the most annoying rivalry in baseball(Tara's words).

After a season opening week of baseball, what is the takeaway? Is the pitching worse than we thought? And what about the cleanup spot?

Plus, Matt Carpenter steals the show with the Chirp of the Week. (Don't tune out, it's fascinating!)

We've arrived! It's Opening Day Eve, and Tara is back with Alex to offer some predictions for the 2021 Cardinals. How bold are they? You decide.

Plus, Alex -- inspired by his favorite Opening Day memories -- digs up some interesting stats on one of the Cardinals' ultimate greats for the Chirp of the Week!

Prospects after Dark time. We have Cardinals roster dec... honestly, who cares. Let’s just have a good time & talk Cards

On this episode, I met with the Blogfather/Podfather of Cardinals Twitter - Daniel Shoptaw (@c70 on Twitter). He is always a wonderful guy to talk to and it was my pleasure having him on.

This week, friend of the pod Ben Godar joins Alex to talk about the latest developments of the spring and tell Mike Shannon stories, for nostalgia's sake.

Then, Alex hands off the Chirp of the Week assignment to Ben, because that's what a good host does!

On this conversation with Stew Stiles we discussed his upcoming album, dropping on April 2nd, along with quite a bit of Cardinals baseball, scorecard-ing (yes, that's now a word), and much more. Unfortunately, 2 minutes after it was over, Stew dropped a bomb by saying that John Gant's dreaded Jesus look could earn him the nickname "Florida Man." Missed out on getting that into the pod. Bummer.

Corey and Ben discuss what we know about the Cardinals with two weeks remaining in Spring Training. We hit a little bit of everything going on here. I hope you feel the excitement we did while recording! My dog had a lot to say at one point as well; meet Sadie!

It's episode 100! (Sorry for the delayed release...)

Last week, Yadi did some cool stuff that reminded us why he's one of the greats. Plus, spring training is rolling right along and it's been better for some than... well, Matt Carpenter.

And about that 100th episode... Alex takes us on a journey through other 100s in Cardinals history for this week's Chirp of the Week.

In this Conversations with Cerutti, Kyle Reis and I discuss prospects tools in general and answer a few fan questions. It was a fabulous conversation and I am very excited to get it out to you all.

Pitchers and catchers have reported, position players have joined them, and Spring Training games have begun. With that comes the annual "are there enough good starters in the rotation?" debate.

Is Jack Flaherty going to continue to struggle? Should the Cardinals have signed another pitcher? Is Miles Mikolas actually hurt? And what happens with Alex Reyes in 2021?

Plus, Alex takes us back to St. Louis's prime to tell us about the journey to World Series title number one in this week's Chirp of the Week.
