Scoops Sports Network

My guest this week is the CEO of Daugherty Business Solutions, Ron Daugherty. Listen to how this man has created, volunteered and even “danced” to help change and improve lives everywhere. Through the Champions PGA Tour (Ascension Charity Classic) as well as the presenting sponsor of the APGA event, Ron and his company are improving lives across our country.

We get into a busy week in sports this morning with Ben Frederickson. We talk All-Star game, trade deadline, Juan Soto, and more on the Cardinals. We also talk about Matthew Tkachuk and what it could take to get him to the Blues. Ben thinks its more realistic that we'd get Tkachuk rather than Juan Soto but a Jordan could be the key to both deals. Ben talks about the latest with SEC media days and impressive STL City SC news too. Listen here:

A preview of this weekend in Cincinnati with Reds broadcaster, Tommy Thrall. He talks about the Reds season overall-  including the bullpen, the rookie pitching and the injuries. He also gives us a glimpse at what the Reds could look for at the trade deadline. He agrees that Mahle and Castillo are highly sought but mentions a few others who could be in demand. We get into Tommy Pham's season for the team too. Listen here:

We continue to talk football on this week’s edition of The Inside the Lines High School Sports Podcast with Jim Powers. Jim starts off talking with Rockwood Summit head coach Eric Stewart about the historic 2021 season and how the team is looking as they head into the 2022 campaign. We then chat with veteran head coach Chad Masters, who is taking over the Bishop DuBourg/Hancock program this year. Masters talks about how he is building the program and the excitement level for the program in South City.

We dig into the All-Star and Futures games with Brian Walton. Brian says the ASG was a bit too slow-paced and the Futures game, unfortunately, inaccessible to fans wanting to watch since it was only on the Peacock Network. We also take a look at the Cardinals draft picks overall and where the top picks could start their seasons next year. What are Brian's thoughts on the Cardinals draft strategy and why did they take almost all college players? Listen here:

“The Kilcoyne Conversation” with St. Louis Cardinals President Bill DeWitt III. Different urgency to win in 2022? Pujols return. Team always being good, not great. MLB changes to game.

A huge summer for Matt Holliday as he's inducted into the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame and his son, Jackson, is chosen number one in the MLB draft. He's also coaching baseball in Oklahoma and contributing enormous charitable efforts. We talk about all that plus what's next for him- whether it's the dugout, the broadcast booth or something else.

Scoops with Danny Mac airs on Fox 2 every Sunday night at 10:30 pm.

A sobering few weeks for the Cardinals. Ben Frederickson talks about wants and needs for the team as they head into the break. The good news, he says, is that they may not be far away from competing against these good teams in the playoffs. The bad news is that each of these teams has also been dealing with injuries but wins against us anyway. We get into Yadi's return and Pujols in the HR Derby. Ben talks about the Blues losing Perron and the big contract for Robert Thomas, too. Does he think it makes sense to keep Leddy and not 57? A look at Mizzou at SEC media days and the shift in divisions. Listen here:

“The Kilcoyne Conversation” with Matt Holliday about his son Jackson. A top player in the MLB Draft this weekend. And getting a Red Jacket as Cardinals Hall of Famer.

We continue to preview the upcoming high school football season in this week’s edition of the Inside the Lines High School Sports Podcast with Jim Powers. We first talk with first-year head coach Conner White from Webster Groves on how his first summer as the head mentor of the Statesmen program has gone and about some of the great players who have played well in the off-season. We then head to North County to visit with Lutheran North head football coach Kyle Wagner about the Crusaders and the expectations for the coming year.
