Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast

In an effort to do his due diligence on some 40-man roster projections, Daniel (@C70) gives Allen (@amedlock1) the week off and talks with prospect guru Kyle Reis (@kyler416) about all things minors. How did the system look at the end of the year? How are things going on the farm? How has the philosophy on players changed? The bulk of the time, though, is spent looking at players eligible for the Rule 5 draft. How many will the Cardinals protect? Are there some names that might be left at risk? Plus there's half an hour at the end about Ahsoka, The Mandalorian, and anything else Star Wars, so just fair warning.

The games are done. The 2023 St. Louis Cardinals can no longer hurt you. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the postseason slate that doesn't include the Redbirds for the first time since 2018. Do you prefer day games or night games when it comes to October? They use that to transition to the article by Derrick Goold outlining plans and potential targets for this winter. How confident are we that the Cards will play with the big boys? Can they pull off an early move like they expect? Will they have to trade from the offense or can they even do that? Will they continue to prioritize depth or will we see some DFAs that are uncharacteristic? All this plus a look at the final portions of Wainwright Weekend for you on this show!

After a 19-2 beatdown by the Reds posted the Cardinals' 91st loss, you'd think it'd be hard to talk about this team. However Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are quasi-professional at this and so were still able to fill an hour on this squad. Is letting Adam Wainwright take an at bat when Cincinnati isn't eliminated destroying the fabric of the game? How much turnover will we see out of the 40 man roster? Who is the more untouchable, Jordan Walker or Masyn Winn? We're almost through it, folks. The offseason awaits!

You know those cars in the cartoons that start smoking, losing tires, and then completely fall apart when they reach their destination? The Cardinals are feeling like one of those cars. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the slew of injuries that St. Louis has had and what sort of players have been brought up to fill the hole. That leads, as most things do these days, to more offseason talk and who might not be back for 2024. Finally, the guys salute Adam Wainwright on his completed quest for #200 and talk about why DHing might not be in the cards before next Sunday. We can make it to the end, guys! It's almost here!

The Cardinals somehow weathered a stretch of very good teams by...winning series? Are we sure this is the same team we've been watching all year? Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about some winning baseball and what (or who) might be responsible for this uptick in play. Oli Marmol is confirmed to be back for 2024 (or at least expected to return). Should he have paid the price for the lack of success? Will the coaching staff change a lot around him? John Mozeliak talks some about acquiring pitching "depth" this winter. Is that trying to keep a tactical advantage or has the front office not learned some lessons from this year? Plus find out how you can win this cool new hat from Official League!

It was one of those rare weeks of 2023 Cardinal baseball where good things happened. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the success of the team in Atlanta, how Jordan Walker has progressed, and how good Zack Thompson has looked of late. They also continue to preview the winter, discussing what has to happen with the rotation and the bullpen and who might not be around next year. Finally, they take a step back in time to talk about the home run chase of '98, marking the 25th anniversary of #62.

It used to be a meal at Busch could be a Cheeseburger in Paradise but now Cardinals fans are looking more for Boat Drinks. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the week that was and wasn't for the Redbirds. The guys want to be optimistic about this winter but there's Fins all around that give them pause. Are the Cardinals really that committed to Tommy Edman? Why didn't they get interesting and claim Harrison Bader or Lucas Giolito? There's a Pencil Thin Mustache's difference between a smart play and doing what you've always done and hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come. Otherwise, the fanbase may erupt like a Volcano. It feels like the Pirate(s) Have Looked At Forty wins against St. Louis this year and last night was just another nail in the coffin of our favorite stat. And come Monday, there's not even a Cardinals game! You know what Allen thinks of that. Grab your flip-flops and take everything these two say with a shaker of salt, if you can find it.

Another week and not exactly a lot to enjoy when it comes to St. Louis Cardinals baseball. The team is depleted in numerous ways and it shows in the results. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the struggles of the club, most notably the pitching staff. How will Miles Mikolas's recent outings impact how the Cardinals approach the winter? What about Dakota Hudson and Zack Thompson? Is Jordan Walker untouchable when it comes to looking for young pitching this offseason? How will they clear up some of this roster mess?

Then, in what will sure to be a hit with the middle-aged dad population of the audience, it's time to Remember Some Guys. The guys pull up the box score from this point in the 1990 season to talk about those that were playing and how different that era of baseball was. Let them know if you like that feature and maybe they'll do more of it this September!

The Cardinals may be playing out the string but that doesn't mean there can't be any excitement. Masyn Winn made his debut with the Cardinals last night and Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are here to talk about it. When was the last time a homegrown shortstop had this sort of excitement around him? Pete Alonso may be a big, strong blockhead--what was he thinking throwing out Winn's first hit? Also, the pair get into John Mozeliak's proclamation that the team is looking for three starters this winter plus the improved results of Adam Wainwright this week.

It's early for meaningless baseball but 2023 has us in this predicament. Which means Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) have to find some things to talk about so there's not dead air for an hour. Adam Wainwright's blowup against the Royals Friday night provided some fodder. How do you deal with the legend when he doesn't seem to have it? What should the Cardinals do about him, if anything? That leads to some discussion of next year's roster--which is likely to be a popular topic the rest of the year--and then some talk about Tyler O'Neill and his week. Come listen to Daniel completely ruin how Allen views the player!
