January 30, 2021 Episode 182: Say Hello To The New Guy
Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) had things all nicely planned out. Then the Cardinals threw a curveball worthy of Uncle Charlie.
This week, the guys talk to Geoff Goldman of FOX Sports (soon to be Bally Sports) Midwest. Geoff discusses his job as Senior Director of Communications, talking about how things have changed over the past 20 years, what 2020 was like for him and the crew, and even that infamous Dexter Fowler video.
Then, as that conversation winds down, a conflagration began on Twitter as Ken Rosenthal confirmed what we'd been talking about all day long: Nolan Arenado is going to be a Cardinal. The guys spend the second half of the show discussing the deal, dreaming on lineups, and basically trying to temper excitement and failing. Plus there's talk about what looked to be the news of the day until about 9:30 PM, the return of Adam Wainwright.
It's an extra-long show but folks, these sort of blockbusters just don't happen every day. Give it a listen!

It's been a little bit since the guys got together but the baseball landscape hasn't changed all that much.

There's also a discussion about how you'd feel about certain Cub players becoming Cardinals. A good bit of baseball talk to warm the winter!

November 06, 2020 Episode 176: Gold and Cold
While it was a full week in certain aspects of society, baseball was a bit quieter. That doesn't keep Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) from getting together to talk about things. The Cardinals were credited with two Gold Gloves this week, even though one of the winners is now a free agent. The guys talk about what the Gloves still mean and how bittersweet it was to see Kolten Wong win one. There's also talk about Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright, which there probably will be until they sign somewhere, and a rundown of a few potential moves the Cards might make. If nothing else, we hope we're a distraction for you!

October 30, 2020 Episode 175: The Wong Road
After a couple of weeks off, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) return to find the agenda stuffed with things to talk about. Not all of them are Cardinals-related, like Justin Turner's conduct after the end of the World Series, but most of them are. Kolten Wong's option was declined this week as the Cardinals started their offseason work. Was that the right move? What does this mean for the 2021 staff? Are Yadi and Waino returning or are they going to join up with that fresh face in Chicago? And is the return of Jeff Albert surprising, disappointing, or neither? All that and some other topics in an oversized MMM!

October 09, 2020 Episode 174: The Offseason Begins
With the Game 3 loss in San Diego, the Cardinals went into their offseason on a down note. The situation was put in perspective immediately, however, with the news of the passing of Bob Gibson. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) talk about the legendary Cardinal and what his loss means to them. Then they shift gears, talking about the finale of the Wild Card Round and what could be coming up next for the Redbirds as Allen makes his pitch for a certain outfielder. They wrap it up by discussing some of those that have gotten away. Start off your winter with us!

October 02, 2020 Episode 173: A Wild Time in San Diego
The Cardinals are in the playoffs! The tension is high as it comes down to Friday's game to determine if they stay that way. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) talk about the ins and outs of the first two games of this series while looking ahead to the finale. Where did this offense come from and can it stick around? Why is the bullpen suddenly leaking? Do the Cardinals have a bench or do they even need one? Plenty of Wild Card Round talk in this one!
