Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast

They usually don't let you take toxic things through customs but somehow the Cardinals took their whole game to London anyway. After the first game implosion, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about where this team stands as we get closer and closer to the halfway mark. Is there any real hope for a resurgence? Is John Mozeliak right that the Cards shouldn't rebuild? What sort of trades should the front office be looking at? The season isn't over, but should it be treated as such? All this and much more!

A full week without a Cardinals victory used to be unheard of but now is becoming depressingly regular. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the depressing state of the team currently. How frustrating is it to know even when things go right, the club can still lose? That every facet of the team has let them down? John Mozeliak talks about a lot of baseball left but there's not that much time before trade deadline decisions have to be made. What does that look like for this club? It's a rough time for us fans but we can get through it together!

It's the last of the bonus shows (if you have missed it, the regular show is back there after these extras) and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) talks with Brian Salvatore (@BrianNeedsaNap, @HRApplesauce), co-founder of the Fans First Sports Network (@FansFirstSN). Both the Cardinals and the Mets have been disappointing this year and the guys talk about the similarities and the differences in those frustrations. There are positives in New York as well and Brian highlights those before they discuss the pitching matchups, most notably Adam Wainwright going against the Mets. After that, it's only fair to talk about Brian's favorite Cardinals/Mets memories!

With the Cardinals making the trip across the pond next weekend, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) thought it was a great time to sit down and talk with Dave of the St. Louis Cardinals UK Podcast (@hayesunit). It always interesting to hear how someone outside the US came to baseball and the guys cover that as well as how Dave deals with the time difference, how he picked the Cardinals, and what the atmosphere is like as his country gets ready to host our national pastime. For once, the British guy isn't the villain so come give a listen!

Two straight wins makes for a more upbeat show, though Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) don't shy away from the problems that the Cardinals continue to have. What's up with Dylan Carlson not playing center field? Is the pitching rotation starting to come into focus with Miles Mikolas and Jack Flaherty on strong runs? Who could be moved at the trade deadline? Which Paul DeJong is the real Paul DeJong? All that and more on this week's show!

You should never go to the grocery store hungry and you should never podcast after a disappointing loss. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) had their recording time scheduled, though, so they have to ponder the Cardinals dropping another frustrating loss on the fanbase Friday night. Are we seeing 2007 again? Will Steven Matz stay in the bullpen all year or will he return to the rotation? How has the outfield injuries affected the trade possibilities? Come join us as we discuss this maddening team!

Thanks to all the great guests and guest hosts--he'll take it from here. Allen (@amedlock1), fresh off his high school baseball season and school year, returns to the program (and makes his Fans First Sports Network debut) to talk about all things with Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70). After an update on the Tulsa Hale Rangers, the guys dive into an overview of the season so far, talking about the weaknesses of the rotation and the strengths of the lineup. Would a Tyler O'Neill trade hurt even if he succeeded elsewhere? Is Jack Flaherty a change of scenery candidate? What is going on with this front office? The guys work over a lot of things in the manner you've become accustomed to so come in and listen to the conversation!

The St. Louis Cardinals have put together a good stretch of baseball and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Alex (@alexcards79) are glad to have some high points to talk about. The offense is remarkably astounding--is it all because Nolan Arenado has started to remember his true form? Can they dig out completely from the April hole? Not everything is hunky-dory, of course, and the rotation still leaves something to be desired. How surprising is it that the Cards went to a six man rotation to fit in Matthew Liberatore? Should the Cards scrap the Zack Thompson-as-starter experiment and use him to replace Genesis Cabrera? All that plus a couple of rabbit trails!

Willson Contreras. The pitching staff. Jordan Walker. The St. Louis Cardinals have made a lot of, shall we say, interesting moves this season. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) sits down with Kyle Reis (@kyler416) to talk about this whole thing both in the specifics and as an overall look at the organization. Is the front office panicking? Does the shadow of Yadier Molina really continue to obscure the 2023 squad? Even though he's been solid for so long, is the game starting to pass John Mozeliak by? All that, plus thoughts on Zac Gallen's comments, Jordan Walker's development, Masyn Winn's handiwork, Don Denkinger's passing, and even some Star Wars talk at the end. Something for everyone!
