Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast

After a great year of guests, Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) get back into the regular flow of things. Last Saturday was Blogger and Podcasters Day, which they both attended, and they give their thoughts about the event. What was the vibe with Chaim Bloom in the room? Did Allen get the answer he was expecting from his question? The guys then shift into talking about Lars Nootbaar's return from the roster. What will he bring? What are the Cardinals going to do about the upcoming roster crunch? There's also pitching talk and more praise of Jordan Walker, so give it a listen!

After a long stretch on the high school fields, Allen (@amedlock1) makes his season debut, helping Daniel (@C70) welcome in old friend Alex Crisafulli (@alexcards79.bsky.social). The guys catch up on the Nathan Hale season and how high school baseball looks these days, then they dive into what the Cardinals are doing. Is there any reason to be disappointed about the recent losing streak? What does the trade deadline look like? There's some "remember that guy" energy when they talk about pitching performances that rival the recent one by Dustin May. It wraps up with a short Star Wars decision inspired by (but not a spoiler of) the new Mandalorian and Grogu movie. Come join the gang!

A middling week for the St. Louis Cardinals but if that's the worst they have, it's not bad. Daniel (@C70) talks it over with the host of the daily Locked On Cardinals podcast JD Hafron (@LO_Cardinals). After discussing how hard a daily show must be, the guys dive into a lot of things relating to the club. Bryan Torres gets the call as Nathan Church goes on the IL. How will the club use him? Lars Nootbaar is on his rehab assignment. Where does he hit when he returns? Is there concern about the offense or the pitching? And what prospect does JD want most to succeed? That and, of course, Tarps Off talk on this edition of Musial!

The guys talk some about former Cardinals that may not have had the best experience in Baseball Heaven. That transitions into a talk about the surprising Cardinals, who had a successful road trip this week to the West Coast. What happens when the trade deadline comes?

As we flip the calendar into May, the St. Louis Cardinals are above .500 and playing fun, interesting, and sometimes agonizing baseball. As Allen (@amedlock1) finishes up the high school regular season, Daniel (@C70) sits down with Richard McGill (@NoSleepTilYavin) to talk about how things are going and whether any of this is really sustainable. How long can Matthew Liberatore and Michael McGreevy, for instance, keep this up? Is this offense truly one of the better ones in baseball? Is there anything that can be done about the bullpen--or should anything be done? Plus talk about the newest members of the Cardinals Hall of Fame and the media landscape around the Cards. Just a couple of old guys talking ball!

The St. Louis Cardinals have played (and won) a baseball game so all is right with the world. After guesting over at Talking About Birds (@talkingaboutbirds.bsky.social) the day before the season starts, Daniel (@C70) brings Nate and Ben over to his side to break down all the excitement. Using The Cardinal Six game that the three played at the end of TAB as a guideline, the guys talk about the excitement of JJ Wetherholt, the questions around the bullpen, the use (or lack thereof) of ABS, Nate's namesake playing left, and so much more. It's a rollicking ride that rivals yesterday's sixth for craziness! (Also, it didn't make the episode but the game wound up Nate 9, Ben 6, Daniel 1.)
