Crossover edition of the Chris Hrabe Show today with Ben Frederickson. The guys talk Cardinals opening day win and vaccine/protocols as the season begins. Was yesterday’s offense a fluke? The outfield trio- Ben talks about which will still be there at the all-star break. Some John Nogowski debate too and a review of Flaherty’s start.

A dose of reality from Ben too in regards to Mizzou and college transfers. Listen here:

“The Kilcoyne Conversation” with Tony LaRussa.  His return to the White Sox.  His relationship with Jerry Reinsdorf. What criticism of the hire was fair? Is there something to prove?

On the MLB Opening Day edition of The Chris Hrabe Show from the Ophthalmology Associates Studios, Chris is joined by Tim McKernan (@tmckernan) from @TMASTL & @TimMcKernanShow. The guys discuss MLB Opening Day and why enthusiasm could be different this year. As Nolan Arenado plays his first Opening Day in a Cardinals uniform, are there long-term positive implications of the deal that we haven't considered yet? Will MLB and The Masters change how much attention you're paying to March Madness? Finally, the guys draft the 'best individual sports days in the calendar year.'

“Martin and Marlow” the Opening Day edition talking Cardinals.  Keys to winning NL Central. What’s needed to be Title contender. Plus, Charlie’s tales from the road.

Chris is joined by former Mizzou football players Will Franklin (Vashon head football coach) and DeQuincy Howard (Roosevelt head football coach) as the teammates get set for their teams to square off on Saturday. What's it been like for the pair to learn on the fly as they navigate coaching during the pandemic? What's impressed them most about the response of their student-athletes? Have they ever "Pinkel'd" anyone?

Then, Rick Gehman previews the Valero Texas Open as Jordan Spieth and Tony Finau lead a field into the final PGA tournament before The Masters. DFS, one-and-done and more!

Let’s break down the roster for opening day tomorrow. Why Dean over Thomas? Why Jake Woodford in that 13th pitcher spot? We talk about the taxi squad and how that will work for teams at home and on the road. Brian Walton explains why the “alternate camp” could be very important and a few “surprises" to him. Why are Liberatore and Zack Thompson there? We also talk about the minor league Spring training timeline too. Listen here:

Chris is joined by Chris Rongey on today's show. The guys talk about March Madness, how their perception of sports without fans continues to change, and why you should pick an NBA team and jump on the bandwagon as soon as possible. Plus, a deep dive into Rongey's obsession with "Peaky Blinders" and resistance to watch "The Office." The guys finish with a draft of 3 TV characters to join their ratpack.

"Hanging with Big Walt" as Keith Tkachuk takes a Kilcoyne Quiz. Favorite St. Louis food spots, what he's wasted money on,  and Dad calling him a nitwit.

Stories from both Joey Vitale and Chris Hrabe reflecting on St. Louis Blues Legend and fan favorite, Bob Plager.

Ben Fred talks this morning about the potential warning lights coming from the Cardinals starting pitching. We've also learned that Justin WIlliams will have one more year in the minor leagues and Harrison Bader will start the season on the IL. So who will be the starting outfielders? Where does John Nogowski fit? We talk about where Matt Carpenter fits for the team too. Can he prove he's an effective bench bat? Mo said they're trying to coordinate vaccination with the state and will attempt it once they're back in St. Louis. A little bit on Mizzou basketball and the future of Cuonzo Martin. Listen here:
