The calendar (if not the weather) has flipped to November and another baseball season is fully behind us with the crowning of a new World Series Champion. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) spend a little time on the Series before diving into the Cardinals news of the week, the declining of options. Lance Lynn, Kyle Gibson, and Keynan Middleton all enter the free agent market. Is that a surprise? Does it tell us anything? What are we to make, if anything, from the waiver claim of Roddery Munoz from the Marlins? Is there any chance the Cards offer Paul Goldschmidt the qualifying offer? Plus trade talk and another history moment from @remembirds!

For the fact they aren't playing, it was kind of a busy week for the St. Louis Cardinals. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are here to talk about the new additions after first talking about last night's Game 1 of the World Series. Jon Jay and Brant Brown are new coaches while Willie McGee shifts to an advisor role. Is it a good thing Jay is returning or does it go to the insular nature the club is supposed to be breaking free from? What role does Skip Schmaker play in all this? Will Rob Cerfolio bring in more folks from Cleveland or branch out with his hires? All this plus another look back at history (and a very timely one after last night!) with @remembirds!

Call us C-3PO because we're telling you the odds. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) kick off what might be a fairly quiet winter by talking about their impressions of what the Cardinals are going to do. Is "reset" truly the right word? Can the Cardinals have a similar record next year? How much would our impressions of things change if Ryan Helsley had been healthy in the 2022 postseason? Then they get into the percentages--how likely is it that people like Helsley, Sonny Gray, and Nolan Arenado are traded? All that and another History Harkback to a great moment in Cardinal playoff history from @remembirds!

Changing titles. Changing focus. Changing broadcasts? This week brought more changes (or at least promises of changes) than some seasons do in St. Louis. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) walk through their thoughts about the big end of season press conference. Is "reset" really the wrong word to use? Are we sure the Cardinals won't be competitive next year? Will any of the big contracts hang around? All of that, discussions about the dismissal of Turner Ward and the potential of a change in broadcast options, and the first History Harkback (we'll keep working on the name) by @remembirds!

As the season winds down, some intrigue is heating up. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) spend a little time congratulating Ryan Helsley on setting the team save record before diving into the in-depth article released by Katie Woo at The Athletic Friday. From all indications, a change is going to come and perhaps as soon as Monday we'll find out more about it. The guys sort through the story, talking about the lack of minor league coordinators, the idea that there's just one pot of money that covers everything, what the new role of Chaim Bloom may be, and a lot more. What does this mean for Paul Goldschmidt? Do they have to eat some contracts just to chart this new direction? What does this mean for our winter podcasts? All of this and much more on this week's outing!

With the loss on Friday night, the Cardinals clinched something that has become all too common in St. Louis--no October baseball. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) use that fact as a jumping off point for a good conversation. What sort of changes can and will come this winter? What sort of signs should we look for that things are not business as usual? Could Oli Marmol stay or does he have to go regardless of whether he deserves it? Should the Cardinals retrench or reboot for 2025? All this and much more!

With Allen (@amedlock1) "on assignment", as they say in the radio biz, Daniel (@C70) brought in Mr. Reliable Alex Crisafulli (@alexcards79) to cover the innings gap. The Cardinals dropped the first two in Toronto and have fallen back to .500. Will they finish the year on the positive side of the ledger? What kind of changes should be made and do the DeWitts care about the luster that is being lost from the organization? Should we treat all hitters that succeed elsewhere the same? What do you do about this offense? Plus Alex brings us a Cardinal from the past to reminisce about!

It's more fun to talk about winning baseball than losing baseball, but at this point in the season it's hard for Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) to think it means much more than window dressing. The guys talk about the week that was while also talking about changes that are coming. The first domino fell Friday with the announcement that Gary Larocque would not be returning to his role as Director of Player Development. What does that mean for the offseason? How important is that job for the success of the Cardinals? The guys also talked about whether the Cardinals should or would bring back Paul Goldschmidt and what's going on in center field. A nice morning conversation that we hope you enjoy!

In a week when the Cardinals kinda undid their trade deadline, Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) get together to talk about what happened and what's next. Could this team be more interesting in September now that the trifecta of Jordan Walker, Masyn Winn, and Victor Scott II are set to play every day? (Or will Michael Siani throw a wrench in that?) While there were other reasons for the departures of Shawn Armstrong and Tommy Pham, what sort of message does that send to the fanbase and is there any sort of plan? Should a seemingly resurgent Paul Goldschmidt be considered for a return? And is the ownership getting the message of an empty stadium? All that and much more!

Three games. That's what they call a winning streak. The Cardinals have done that for the first time since June and while it's good to see, Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) aren't refreshing the official site for playoff ticket opportunities just yet. Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman are back in Memphis. How surprising were those moves? What does the future hold for Paul Goldschmidt? Should next season be about "letting the kids play"? All that and so much more!
