A recap of the first minor league games for the Cardinals system since 2019. Brian Walton of thecardinalnation.com gives us a rundown of the games and names to follow. Jordan Walker with a big home run, Max Moroff with a good outing and Lane Thomas' potential path back up to the majors. We also get into the big changes to rules in the minor leagues. Roster size increase, six-game series, larger bases, shift/infielder rules and more. How are they handling the Robo-umpires? So far used only on select games and implemented in different ways but very interesting. Listen here:

"The Kilcoyne Conversation" with Kenny Albert who has to be the only announcer to call Cardinals, St. Louis Rams, and Blues games at the network level.  Stories about early days at Fox Sports, John Madden/Pat Summerall, and growing up in the business with his famous dad Marv Albert.

Chris is joined by Cam Janssen to talk about the Blues final regular season stretch before the Stanley Cup Playoffs. How does the team continue to embody Ryan O’Reilly’s personality and “hat swagger?” What does Cam expect from “playoff Binnington?” And is the pressure on everyone else as the playoffs start?

It’s another Fantasy Draft Friday - “Best Individual (Fictional) Characters From Sports Movies”

A successful home stand for the Cardinals. Ben Frederickson makes the case for Carpenter to continue getting at bats. Also, Carlson looks more reliable each day on both offense and defense. Where does Bader a slot in? A little bit on Genesis Cabrera’s scary night this week. What are the issues he faces upon his next outing?

Chris is joined by Drew Silva (NBC Sports) to talk Cardinals & MLB at the one-month mark of the season. The guys talk pitching, including Carlos Martinez and Alex Reyes, and the Cardinals bullpen. Then they draft bullpen pieces from Cardinal clubs since the 2011 World Series team. The guys also talk (really) Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, and artists that are trendy to hate, amongst other things on a jumbo Thursday edition of the show!

"The Kilcoyne Conversation" NFL talk with agent Rocky Arceneaux who represents Ezekiel Elliott, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Ja'Marr Chase from LSU. When Colts took Marshall Faulk they made no contact prior to the pick.  When Rams took Steven Jackson it put agent in the middle of awkward situation.

Chris welcomes Cardinals beat writer Zach Silver to the show after Carlos Martinez's first win as a starter in nearly 3 years. What has Zach seen from Carlos, and how will the Cardinals' rotation continue to buoy the club moving forward? What has Alex Reyes shown as the closer, and will his role change based on how the club hopes to use him moving forward after this season? What has Dylan Carlson's emergence at the top of the order provided for the entire club? All of that and more with Chris & Zach.

Then, Rick Gehman joins Chris to preview this weekend's PGA action at The Valspar Championship. The guys talk Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Patrick Reed, and the rest of the strong field in action as Rick helps us set our DFS lineups, betting cards & more!
