The Cardinals may have made more news outside of actual games than on the field this week. (Well, some of it was on the field, but not game action.) The promotion of Jimmy Crooks and Cesar Prieto caused some stirs and Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about how these guys can fit into the puzzle. Before that, though, they talk about what a rebuild means and how things might look under Chaim Bloom this winter. There's also discussion of Willson Contreras's outburst and Rich (@remembirds) gives us the details around the Willie McGee trade in 1990.

It was a better week of Cardinals baseball but, after the Rockies and Yankees series, that's a low bar. The Cardinals have a weird Saturday off day but Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are here to talk about what they've seen this week and how that informs their thoughts on the future. For instance, is there any chance Miles Mikolas returns? What does the rotation look like next year? Are we too attached to some of these hitters and does Chaim Bloom need to plan to clean house? The guys also touch on the debut of Nathan Church and the realignment buzz that was in the news this week. Plus Rich (@remembirds) plays Glenn Brummer and steals the show!

You'd think beating the Cubs and Dodgers would make for some momentum, but the Cards let that all slip away by losing a series to the Rockies. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about this roller-coaster of a team, trying to get a handle on it. They talk about the lack of offense and what might be done about it, who might not be a Cardinal in 2026, and what the approach of the front office might be. Plus Rich (@remembirds) fills us in on Bob Gibson's no-hitter.

Even if the Cardinals were in a pennant race, the return of Yadier Molina to the dugout would have been big news. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the return of the legend, how that impacted the feel of Friday night's game, and what that means for his future. The guys also talk a lot about the front office and their approach to 2026 plus the future of Nolan Arenado. Come join us!

The trade deadline has come and gone and for the second time in three years, the Cardinals have focused on sending players away rather than bringing players in. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) don't get too much into what the return was because there are much better prospect evaluators out there. Instead, they talk about what the deadline means for the rest of the year, what it means for this offseason, and how the next couple of months might shake out. We didn't trade our closer, though, and Rich (@remembirds) is here to talk about the hiring of Joe Torre as manager. Come join the discussion!

With the trade deadline looming, there were plenty of topics for Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) to touch on in this week's show. Does the rebound against the Padres at all negate the stumbles against the Diamondbacks and Rockies? Will the Cardinals be tempted to not sell? Plus the guys touch on the sort-of-surprising-but-not-really release of Erick Fedde. Then they tackle the trade deadline, wondering what the return on some players might be. All this and a history moment from Rich at Remembirds!

It's the pause that refreshes. Or, if you are like Allen (@amedlock1), the pause that drives you crazy. Baseball took its annual hiatus this week to put on the All-Star festivities. That part Allen liked, though Daniel (@C70) had his old man grumbles with it, but the lack of Cardinals baseball has been notable.

Do the next 65 games matter or does the season really come down to the next six? The guys talk about the direction the club could go, how the apparent return of Jordan Walker might impact the playoff push (if there is one), and how much impact Chaim Bloom currently has. They also touch on the draft and a few other topics. Give it a listen!

No, there aren't any actual stars in this one, just Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talking baseball on the Fourth of July. The Cardinals hit the highs and the lows of the roller coaster this week, sweeping the Guardians while not scoring against the Pirates. Where does that leave the team? There's more trade deadline talk, especially about Steven Matz and Ryan Helsley. Could the Cardinals even try to make room for JJ Wetherholt? And who will be the Cardinals All-Star this season? All that and much more!

With Allen (@amedlock1) kicking back on an Hawaiian beach, Daniel (@C70) sits down with Eugene Tucker (@I_am_not_Eugene) to talk about all things Cardinals. The guys dive into Eugene's Substack and how the 100th anniversary of the Cardinals inspired it, then talk more about the week that was. The focus is on the Cubs series split and the emotions that come out of that. Is Pete Crow-Armstrong the newest Cub we love to hate? What should be done at the trade deadline? The guys also talk about the cyclical nature of the sport and whether we can be happy even if they don't win the World Series. Come listen in on the conversation!
