This week, Brian and Kyle start with minor league playoff status, then major league news, including September 1 roster expansion and Jordan Walker. Other topics include a change at minor league hitting coordinator, another draftee activated, a league Player of the Week and The Cardinal Nation’s August Player of the Month.

What should the Cardinals do to win back the fans for next year and beyond? Martin points to honesty with the fans about the direction and plan of the team. Also, he points to new names. Cut the fat and freshen up the roster without spending crazy money. Get new blood in the clubhouse to give fans hope. We also talk about Brant Brown’s comments specific to Jordan Walker. Are younger players not putting in the time they need to for preparation? Do they need someone disciplining them? A “rusty nail” if you will. Cardinals Hall of Fame, 1985 Reunion, Bill Murray, Stifel Charity Classic, college football weekend and more.

“The Kilcoyne Conversation” with @kevinburkhardt talking @NFLonFOX calling multiple Super Bowls, working with @TomBrady, Cowboys impact, Taylor Swift, and a #Mets thought or two.

“The Kilcoyne Conversation” with Brian Barnhart @BBarn64 talking @IlliniFootball embracing the hype, biggest games, @BretBielema as the right fit, and new @bigten venues Oregon, Washington, etc.

Brian and Kyle start with recent promotions, including Tanner Franklin and Chen-Wei Lin. They share their fondness for the prior September 1 roster expansion rules and expect this year’s additions will not be what fans want. They close with a discussion of Cardinals hitters and pitchers who are performing well during August.

An interesting game for the Cardinals last night. We talk it over with Martin Kilcoyne here. Contreras’ ejection, Burleson walk-off, Sonny Gray and more thoughts on salvaging some good from this season. Fan attendance has dropped to a number the team hasn’t seen since 1997. What will the rest of this week look like with the perfect weather? Is it this low from here on out? Lots of rumbling about Wetherholt but is it worth it to bring him up already? We pitch Quinn Matthews to the rotation as well. We take a quick look at the starting week for college football too.

“Golf With Jay Delsing” features a visit in studio with Mike Noll, the head superintendent at Norwood Hills CC. Also, the show will feature tips and the latest news and notes from throughout the world of golf.

This week, Brian and Kyle are joined by guest Kareem Haq. The three started with recent promotion, injury and award news across the system. Most of this extended session was spent discussing Cardinals draft picks from rounds 8-20 this year. Not surprisingly, some interesting skills make several of them must-watch players, whether already active in 2025 or officially debuting in the spring.

Where do the Cardinals go from here? How to they salvage some good from this season? We talk about Gorman, Wetherholt, Arenado, Sonny Gray and more. Will there be a lockout/labor dispute? With lots of money coming off the books in the next two years, will they go get a superstar? We get into the thought of keeping Gorman at third while the Arenado injury leaves more questions. Wild card hopes for the year have been dashed but could there be even further expansion for playoffs in the near future? Will a billion dollars get an MLB expansion team? We take a look at the so-called competition for the QB spot at Mizzou plus a glimpse into the region’s prep football season.
