Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastWhen a Half Isn't a HalfThe end of the nominal "first half" of the Cardinals' 2025 season came on Sunday and to mark the occasion, we mixed our Gateway in with our Musial. David Jones (@iPopEditor) joins Allen (@amedlock1) and Daniel (@C70) to break down the first pick of the draft for St. Louis and all the various repercussions of the selection. Then Daniel and Allen spend time talking about the end of the first part of the season and what they are looking for as the season picks up on Friday. Supersized episode for a special day!

The Cardinals hit the highs and the lows of the roller coaster this week, sweeping the Guardians while not scoring against the Pirates. Where does that leave the team? There's more trade deadline talk, especially about Steven Matz and Ryan Helsley. Could the Cardinals even try to make room for JJ Wetherholt? And who will be the Cardinals All-Star this season? All that and much more! Learn more about your ad choices.

Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the historic nature of it with Steven Matz, Nolan Arenado, and Andre Granillo. The guys talk about Victor Scott and his sputtering offense and how the club can get Nolan Gorman into the lineup regularly while he's going strong.

Where else can you hear Craig Paquette get name dropped, the 2004 Cardinals referenced, and Brendon Donovan tied to Tommy Pham? Plus there's some classic old man rants in here as well and more All-Star talk than you'd expect at the end of May. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tom and Jon are cohosts of St. Louis Cardinals: Beyond the HOF - Saluting Unsung Heroes, a Cardinals history podcast that looks at some players that can get overlooked at times. The guys talk about how they met up to do the show, how they get their guests, and which moments have stuck out to them so far.
The current team isn't left out either, as the guys talk about the improved work of the Cardinals, what...2025-05-241h 05Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastFrom Winter Warmup to Spring HeatWith about half of spring training down, Daniel (@C70) talks it over with Jake Wood (@woodbat28) of the Viva El Birdos podcast and site. The guys talk about various aspects of the spring, such as what stands out as optimistic and what shouldn't be worried about. Jordan Walker avoided injury this week but are there still concerns about him? How surprising is it that some young guys have already been sent down while others are still on the club? How is this rotation going to shake out? Plus we've got another walk down memory lane with Richard (@remembirds) and...2025-03-081h 27Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastThis One Goes To ElevenSeason 11 of the show starts off the way many of them have, with Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) breaking things down with Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat. In a wide-ranging conversation, the guys talk about why 2024 seems to feel just as bad as 2023 even though it wasn't, what things may look like with or without Nolan Arenado, Jeff's guess for a free agent signing, and thoughts about the younger players. Plus they discuss whether John Mozeliak is getting a little less guarded in his final year and whether the team messaging is changing. All that and much more...2025-01-041h 04Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastA Fruitcake of a WinterIt's been a quiet winter but Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) couldn't let the year finish up without one more episode. The guys deal with the Nolan Arenado talk, wondering if he actually will be a Cardinal in 2025. Should they move him just to free up salary? What happens if he's still with the club come spring? The guys also talk about the youth movement, discussing players that should be in line for a contract extension. Plus they weigh in on the holiday topic of fruitcake, which is obviously bigger than anything else. Plus Richard (@remembirds) brings us talk...2024-12-281h 09Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastBuilding The Org ChartAfter an enjoyable holiday break, Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are back at it again, even if there isn't just a lot of Cardinal news to break down. There have been some front office hires since the last show. What does where they came from tell us about the approach of the front office? There's also been some buzz around Nolan Arenado and Ryan Helsley, but not in the way we initially thought. Will they both be back next year? Plus a little discussion of the Winter Meetings and another history moment from Richard Bray (@remembirds). Give it a...2024-12-0853 minMeet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastThe News Streams InFor the first week of November, it was a newsy week for the St. Louis Cardinals. GM meetings will do that, I guess. The Cardinals announced that Willson Contreras was moving to a 1B/DH role as well as his desire to stay in St. Louis. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) discuss the ramifications of this news. What does it mean for the catching position? Will it be more 1B or DH for Contreras? Is this an offshoot of the new focus on development? Sonny Gray is also reported to want to stay--is that a surprise? Nolan Arenado, apparently...2024-11-091h 01Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastOur Option Was Declined AlsoThe calendar (if not the weather) has flipped to November and another baseball season is fully behind us with the crowning of a new World Series Champion. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) spend a little time on the Series before diving into the Cardinals news of the week, the declining of options. Lance Lynn, Kyle Gibson, and Keynan Middleton all enter the free agent market. Is that a surprise? Does it tell us anything? What are we to make, if anything, from the waiver claim of Roddery Munoz from the Marlins? Is there any chance the Cards offer Paul...2024-11-021h 07Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastA Crack In The WallFor the fact they aren't playing, it was kind of a busy week for the St. Louis Cardinals. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are here to talk about the new additions after first talking about last night's Game 1 of the World Series. Jon Jay and Brant Brown are new coaches while Willie McGee shifts to an advisor role. Is it a good thing Jay is returning or does it go to the insular nature the club is supposed to be breaking free from? What role does Skip Schmaker play in all this? Will Rob Cerfolio bring in more folks...2024-10-261h 14Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastWill They Stay Or Will They Go?Call us C-3PO because we're telling you the odds. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) kick off what might be a fairly quiet winter by talking about their impressions of what the Cardinals are going to do. Is "reset" truly the right word? Can the Cardinals have a similar record next year? How much would our impressions of things change if Ryan Helsley had been healthy in the 2022 postseason? Then they get into the percentages--how likely is it that people like Helsley, Sonny Gray, and Nolan Arenado are traded? All that and another History Harkback to a great moment...2024-10-121h 14Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastThe New Cardinals WayChanging titles. Changing focus. Changing broadcasts? This week brought more changes (or at least promises of changes) than some seasons do in St. Louis. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) walk through their thoughts about the big end of season press conference. Is "reset" really the wrong word to use? Are we sure the Cardinals won't be competitive next year? Will any of the big contracts hang around? All of that, discussions about the dismissal of Turner Ward and the potential of a change in broadcast options, and the first History Harkback (we'll keep working on the name) by @remembirds!2024-10-051h 17Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastThe Offseason Starts DevelopingAs the season winds down, some intrigue is heating up. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) spend a little time congratulating Ryan Helsley on setting the team save record before diving into the in-depth article released by Katie Woo at The Athletic Friday. From all indications, a change is going to come and perhaps as soon as Monday we'll find out more about it. The guys sort through the story, talking about the lack of minor league coordinators, the idea that there's just one pot of money that covers everything, what the new role of Chaim Bloom may be, and...2024-09-281h 17Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastThe Official Death KnellWith the loss on Friday night, the Cardinals clinched something that has become all too common in St. Louis--no October baseball. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) use that fact as a jumping off point for a good conversation. What sort of changes can and will come this winter? What sort of signs should we look for that things are not business as usual? Could Oli Marmol stay or does he have to go regardless of whether he deserves it? Should the Cardinals retrench or reboot for 2025? All this and much more! Learn more about your...2024-09-211h 04Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastWinds of ChangeIt's more fun to talk about winning baseball than losing baseball, but at this point in the season it's hard for Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) to think it means much more than window dressing. The guys talk about the week that was while also talking about changes that are coming. The first domino fell Friday with the announcement that Gary Larocque would not be returning to his role as Director of Player Development. What does that mean for the offseason? How important is that job for the success of the Cardinals? The guys also talked about whether the...2024-09-071h 05Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastThat Flag Looks Pretty WhiteIn a week when the Cardinals kinda undid their trade deadline, Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) get together to talk about what happened and what's next. Could this team be more interesting in September now that the trifecta of Jordan Walker, Masyn Winn, and Victor Scott II are set to play every day? (Or will Michael Siani throw a wrench in that?) While there were other reasons for the departures of Shawn Armstrong and Tommy Pham, what sort of message does that send to the fanbase and is there any sort of plan? Should a seemingly resurgent Paul Goldschmidt...2024-08-311h 14Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastNot Dead Yet?Three games. That's what they call a winning streak. The Cardinals have done that for the first time since June and while it's good to see, Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) aren't refreshing the official site for playoff ticket opportunities just yet. Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman are back in Memphis. How surprising were those moves? What does the future hold for Paul Goldschmidt? Should next season be about "letting the kids play"?

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices2024-08-241h 18Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastThe Trade Deadline Has Been Fedde, Fedde Good To ThemWhat a busy week for the St. Louis Cardinals. John Mozeliak and company were busy up to the deadline on Tuesday afternoon, making two trades with different motivations. The front office made the deal of the deadline with the White Sox and Dodgers, then parted ways with Dylan Carlson in a move that maybe they didn't have to make. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about both deals in depth. How surprising was it that Tommy Pham returned? What concerns are there with Erick Fedde? Will the change of scenery work for Carlson? The guys also get into the...2024-08-031h 04Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastHave The Cardinals Peaked?A tough series in Pittsburgh, followed by a rough loss on Friday night, poses the question. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) try to sort through it all, talking about Sonny Gray's stumbles over the last month (and his slightly cryptic and very unspecific interview after the game). What is this team, now that it is 1 1/2 games out of the playoff race? Can they turn it around? Will reinforcements be coming at the trade deadline? Players are already being dealt--does that impact John Mozeliak's timetable? Will Dylan Carlson still be here next week? What about the players returning from injury...2024-07-271h 14Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastThe Weather and the WetherThere wasn't much Cardinal baseball to talk about over the last week but Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are here anyway. The guys discuss the All-Star Game, more in theory than the actual game that happened. Should things be rearranged for more optimal exposure? What makes connections to fans more, the game or the derby? After all that, the guys dive into what's going on with the Cardinals, starting with the 2024 draft. How quickly should JJ Wetherholt move? How surprising was it that he was the pick? There's then discussions of injury returns, especially Tommy Edman, and what might...2024-07-201h 03Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastHeading For a BreakYou know it's a weird week when the team goes from four games out to 5.5 within the span of ten hours. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the brief Royals series and how that shook out. After that, they get into the trade deadline talk, discussing what the Cardinals might need and what they might give up. There's a discussion of the All-Star Game and Allen's contention Ryan Helsley should have had company in Texas. They then look ahead to the Cubs series before Allen's internet connection tells them it's time to wrap it up. 2024-07-121h 03Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastManaging The SituationOnly doing one show a week means that Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) don't have to worry about load management, though apparently their technology isn't at the same level. Even with some technical difficulties, the guys get into how so many times we are hearing about unavailable relievers. Does that plus the strong run of Andre Pallante shift the trade deadline discussion? There are bats returning soon and no obvious place to put them. How will that work out? Does that mean some major league pieces will be trade bait? That plus some broadcast talk at the end for...2024-07-051h 12Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastHalfway ThereAs of this recording, the Cardinals are 41-39, meaning the halfway point of the season is upon us. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about how things are looking for a club that's playing well enough to be a playoff team. How concerning is last night's blowout loss to the Reds? What are the Cardinals thinking with the promotion of Gordon Graceffo? What will the Cardinals be looking for at the trade deadline and how will they be able to get it? All this and much more!

Visit megaphone...2024-06-281h 04Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastA Special Game in a Blah WeekThursday night's game at Rickwood Field was a moving and special experience and nothing that Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are qualified to do full justice to. They talk about it anyway, though, as well as the other ceremonial games that MLB has been having as well. After that, they shift to the Cardinals with the debut of Adam Kloffenstein leading the way. How is the club going to use him? Should we be concerned about Lance Lynn? Are getting back injured players really like making a trade? All that and more (plus some technical glitches) and a bonus...2024-06-211h 24Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastThe Mo-untaintop ExperienceAs is their tradition, the Cardinals invited bloggers and podcasters up for a game last weekend and both Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) were in attendance. Now back in their homes in Arkansas and Oklahoma, they break down what John Mozeliak had to say in the Q&A. When will Jordan Walker return? Is it surprising that the club isn't fond of the outside labs and when will they get their own? What's Mo thinking as the trade deadline gets nearer? All that and reasons for optimism around the club!

Unlike some other losses this year, it didn't fill Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) with as much fear and trembling as some others. The current good run of Cardinal baseball has eased some tensions, but for how long? The guys talk about load management, Oli Marmol's cooling seat, and what has to happen before 2023 stops lingering in the collective memory. Plus they kick around what to do about Paul Goldschmidt and the disturbing downturn of Dylan Carlson. Plenty in here...2024-06-011h 18Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastLet's Play Some CatchThe great line of 2024 guests continues as Daniel (@C70) welcomes in Richard McGill (@RichardMcGill89), half of the father-son duo that makes up the Playing Catch podcast. With the regular season just a week away, the guys take stock of what the Cardinals are showing down in Florida. How concerning is the lack of power? Are the starting pitchers going to be this bad? Or is everything meaningless in such a small sample size? The guys go through all of that and then touch on the news out of Los Angeles (by way of Korea) about Shohei Ohtani. Plus we...2024-03-221h 32Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastOh There You Are PerryThe line of great guests continues as Daniel (@C70) fills Allen's (@amedlock1) spot with Dayn Perry, writer at CBS Sports and (more importantly) author of his own Cardinals-centric Substack, Birdy Work. The guys talk about writing on Substack and the audience that it reaches before moving on to baseball-centric discussion. What kind of grade does Dayn give the offseason? How interesting is the bullpen construction? Which young hitter has him most intrigued? Plus the guys discuss the Diamond Sports RSN situation, a topic Dayn has written on thoroughly. All that and a little "back in my day" ranting as...2024-02-101h 04Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastBlue ChristmasFor (likely) the final time in 2023, Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) get together to talk about the Cardinals. For definitely the final time, they talk about Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who signed a huge deal with the Dodgers this week. Were the Cardinals ever really involved? Will we ever actually know? With that dream off the board, will the Cardinals actually do anything else or are we looking at basically the final form that will go to Jupiter in seven weeks? Plus the guys talk about some Cardinals Christmas gifts. Thanks so much for your support this year and we look...2023-12-231h 08Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastSt. Louis Red SoxWho knew the American Northeast had such value for the American Midwest? Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) get unexpectedly back in the saddle to discuss mainly the Tyler O'Neill trade to the Red Sox. The trade wasn't a surprise but what about the location? Is the return going to pan out? How does this impact the search for relievers? Plus there's the Rule 5 pick from the Red Sox, the disappointing draft lottery, and the official return of Yadier Molina. Enjoy the conversation! Learn more about your ad choices.

Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) discuss the signing of the new hurler and what that means for the rotation as a whole. Is St. Louis actually still a destination for pitchers? Are the Cards currently a favorite for the division? Will they do more to upgrade the rotation? Daniel does his best #Yamamoto2STL pitch and the guys discuss the trade market. Plus the draft lottery is this week and...2023-12-021h 06Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastDigesting the NewsIt's the post-Thanksgiving edition of MMM! Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are still recovering from their respective feasts but they are still able to go to work on the morsels that the Cardinals provided this week. Lance Lynn and Kyle Gibson were the main course, though it's not fair to call them turkeys. Still, there was a lot of squabbling about the signings among the Cardinal fanbase. Is it justified? The club still seems to be extremely active in the Yoshinubu Yamamoto sweepstakes, but is that dessert enough to save the whole meal? They also talk about the ingredients...2023-11-251h 07Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastAggressive NegotiationsThe offseason is in full go right now and Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are here to talk about this week's goings-on. The Cards made some minor pickups that filled up the 40-man, which was a bit unexpected. The guys talk about that before getting into this week's brouhaha about where payroll levels will be in 2024. There's also discussion about some potential trades and we've got an international flair, talking Japan (Yamamoto) and Canada (potential trade with Toronto). Come and join us!

This time Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) welcome in noted Thanksgiving apologist Tito Rivera (@triveratops) to spend a Saturday morning talking baseball. The conversation ranges from the just concluded MLB postseason to youth baseball to what the Cardinals may do this winter. Is it notable that this World Series was the lowest rated ever? How important is playing meaningful baseball in September? Is it a good sign that the Cards are being nationally linked to a player like Yoshinobu Yamamoto? All that and then the discussion...2023-11-041h 26Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastThe Back 40As the playoffs wind to their conclusion, there's still plenty for Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) to discuss in this week's episode. It seems like Yadier Molina might be returning as some sort of coach for the Cardinals. What role works best for the legendary catcher and what are some of the drawbacks to having him back in uniform? Then the guys start looking at the 40-man, talking about who could go and what could happen in the trade market, using Daniel's Substack article (https://cardinal70.substack.com/p/the-40-man-itch) as a basis. A good solid conversation about...2023-10-211h 26Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastThe Rule of FiveIn an effort to do his due diligence on some 40-man roster projections, Daniel (@C70) gives Allen (@amedlock1) the week off and talks with prospect guru Kyle Reis (@kyler416) about all things minors. How did the system look at the end of the year? How are things going on the farm? How has the philosophy on players changed? The bulk of the time, though, is spent looking at players eligible for the Rule 5 draft. How many will the Cardinals protect? Are there some names that might be left at risk? Plus there's half an hour at the end about...2023-10-131h 39Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastHey Y'all, It's The OffseasonThe games are done. The 2023 St. Louis Cardinals can no longer hurt you. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the postseason slate that doesn't include the Redbirds for the first time since 2018. Do you prefer day games or night games when it comes to October? They use that to transition to the article by Derrick Goold outlining plans and potential targets for this winter. How confident are we that the Cards will play with the big boys? Can they pull off an early move like they expect? Will they have to trade from the offense or can they...2023-10-071h 12Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastThis Is The EndAfter a 19-2 beatdown by the Reds posted the Cardinals' 91st loss, you'd think it'd be hard to talk about this team. However Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are quasi-professional at this and so were still able to fill an hour on this squad. Is letting Adam Wainwright take an at bat when Cincinnati isn't eliminated destroying the fabric of the game? How much turnover will we see out of the 40 man roster? Who is the more untouchable, Jordan Walker or Masyn Winn? We're almost through it, folks. The offseason awaits!

The Cardinals are feeling like one of those cars. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the slew of injuries that St. Louis has had and what sort of players have been brought up to fill the hole. That leads, as most things do these days, to more offseason talk and who might not be back for 2024. Finally, the guys salute Adam Wainwright on his completed quest for #200 and talk about why DHing might not be in...2023-09-231h 06Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastA Better Week of Cardinals Baseball (and a Giveaway!)The Cardinals somehow weathered a stretch of very good teams by...winning series? Are we sure this is the same team we've been watching all year? Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about some winning baseball and what (or who) might be responsible for this uptick in play. Oli Marmol is confirmed to be back for 2024 (or at least expected to return). Should he have paid the price for the lack of success? Will the coaching staff change a lot around him? John Mozeliak talks some about acquiring pitching "depth" this winter. Is that trying to keep a tactical...2023-09-1655 minMeet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastPast, Present, and FutureIt was one of those rare weeks of 2023 Cardinal baseball where good things happened. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the success of the team in Atlanta, how Jordan Walker has progressed, and how good Zack Thompson has looked of late. They also continue to preview the winter, discussing what has to happen with the rotation and the bullpen and who might not be around next year. Finally, they take a step back in time to talk about the home run chase of '98, marking the 25th anniversary of #62.

Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the week that was and wasn't for the Redbirds. The guys want to be optimistic about this winter but there's Fins all around that give them pause. Are the Cardinals really that committed to Tommy Edman? Why didn't they get interesting and claim Harrison Bader or Lucas Giolito? There's a Pencil Thin Mustache's difference between a smart play and doing what you've always done and hopefully this isn't...2023-09-021h 04Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastHitting 90Another week and not exactly a lot to enjoy when it comes to St. Louis Cardinals baseball. The team is depleted in numerous ways and it shows in the results. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the struggles of the club, most notably the pitching staff. How will Miles Mikolas's recent outings impact how the Cardinals approach the winter? What about Dakota Hudson and Zack Thompson? Is Jordan Walker untouchable when it comes to looking for young pitching this offseason? How will they clear up some of this roster mess?Then, in what will sure to...2023-08-261h 13Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastA Winndow Into The FutureThe Cardinals may be playing out the string but that doesn't mean there can't be any excitement. Masyn Winn made his debut with the Cardinals last night and Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are here to talk about it. When was the last time a homegrown shortstop had this sort of excitement around him? Pete Alonso may be a big, strong blockhead--what was he thinking throwing out Winn's first hit? Also, the pair get into John Mozeliak's proclamation that the team is looking for three starters this winter plus the improved results of Adam Wainwright this week. 2023-08-191h 09Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastFather Time vs. Adam WainwrightIt's early for meaningless baseball but 2023 has us in this predicament. Which means Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) have to find some things to talk about so there's not dead air for an hour. Adam Wainwright's blowup against the Royals Friday night provided some fodder. How do you deal with the legend when he doesn't seem to have it? What should the Cardinals do about him, if anything? That leads to some discussion of next year's roster--which is likely to be a popular topic the rest of the year--and then some talk about Tyler O'Neill and his week. Come...2023-08-121h 10Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastWhat's Left After The DeadlineHere we are, on the other side of the trade deadline. The activity was unprecedented but it's over now. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) sort through the overall activity at the deadline. What impact will these moves have on this organization? What was the best deal? Can we trust the front office to be active this winter? Discussion then turns to Adam Wainwright, who failed yet again to win #199. Can he get to 200?

That's what Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are asking after the Nolan Arenado story continues to dominate the discourse. What the heck is John Mozeliak thinking not nipping this in the bud? Did EVERYONE in the front office somehow lose Arenado's phone number and forget how to find the clubhouse? Why in the world would you risk damaging your relationship with a player that really wants to be in St. Louis?Beyond that, what's going on at the trade deadline? Will the club be left without a chair when...2023-07-291h 18Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastChanging ParadigmsIt could have been a good week. The Cardinals took the series from the Yankees and held a late lead in three of the four games against the Marlins. Two of those slipped away, most notably when Jordan Hicks apparently tried to give a Marlins fan a live baseball, and St. Louis sits firmly in last place and 15 games out of the division. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) look for the silver lining in those losses, hoping that it pushed the front office clearly into sell mode instead of giving them false hope. Who will still be around after...2023-07-071h 25Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastEpisode 272: It’s Time to Play BallSeasons are starting, whether it's high school (where Allen, Mr. Red Dirt Redbird and @amedlock1, is at) or professional (at least, the exhibition version). Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) brings in Russ Robinson (Redbird Rants, @frrobinson1957) to talk about goings on in camp on the eve of the Cardinals' first spring training game. Does the fact that Tyler O'Neill wants to play center cause a rift with Dylan Carlson? Can Giovanny Gallegos pitch faster or does he continue to do his impression of Daniel trying to get to a point? Also, is there any chance anyone gets into the...2023-02-251h 10Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastEpisode 243: Back To Where They BelongNot only are the Cardinals back in first place in the NL Central but Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) is back in the co-hosting chair! Allen joins Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and talks about his season coaching Tulsa Hale and the challenges that went along with a new program. Then the guys get into the week of Cardinal baseball, talking about the road ahead, if Corey Dickerson had the best timing on getting hurt, and what happens when Jack Flaherty and Jordan Hicks are healthy. Plus, even with him finding a stroke in Memphis, have we seen the...2022-06-111h 04Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastEpisode 230: Grumpy Old MenDaniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) was feeling particularly grumpy about the state of baseball, what with that whole lockout and some of the solutions (like expanded playoffs) to try to fix it, so he got someone he knew was on the same page to join him this week. Alex (Birds on the Black, @alexcards79) might not be as old as Daniel, but the two share a sensibility about the game. How does baseball find a way out of this mess? What will the ramifications be in regards to baseball's future and popularity?

The lockout is still the only real topic in baseball and the guys talk about what they want to see come out of the CBA negotiations and how confident they are the 2022 season will start on time. They then tackle some of the topics around the Hall of Fame voting before finishing up with a quick look back at the Cardinals season.

Does the activity around baseball mean that the looming lockout isn't going to be that bad? What are Allen's thoughts on the new members of the coaching staff? The guys also revisit the starting pitcher vs. shortstop discussion and talk more about what the team could look like in 2022.

It's no surprise that Oli Marmol got the gig but what does that mean for the rest of the staff? Allen and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) go over that, then discuss the excellent showing by the Cardinals in the Gold Glove nominees. Who will win and who won't?

It's remarkable that that piece of information is news! After a record run, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) talk about what's next for this team. Which team should the Cardinals want to see in the wild card game? Is there a path to the World Series for this club? This weekend is the last for Mike Shannon and Matt Carpenter. Is there anything to Shannon's most recent bombshell? And how will Carpenter go out? All this and more as the guys get ready for October!

Daniel and Allen talk about what this team has done over the stretch and most notably yesterday in Milwaukee, rallying in a game that seemed destined to end the streak. Not everything is perfect--the bullpen usage still is a concern--but there's a lot of happy talk and a little bit of looking ahead in this week's show!...2021-09-241h 05Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastEpisode 215: The Boring Team Goes WildAfter a sweep in New York and some help along the way, the Cardinals reach the weekend a 1/2 game ahead of the Padres for the second wild card right before San Diego pays a visit to Busch. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) talk about this turn of events and what has gotten the Cards to this point. The pitching staff is shaping up, but how does Dakota Hudson and Jack Flaherty fit into the picture?

Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) talk about many different facets of the week, especially the Dodgers series (though, surprisingly, not much about the return of Mr. Pujols). Did Mike Shildt have enough urgency for that series? Does any team really want to win the wild card? The guys also talk a lot about Matt Carpenter, Alex Reyes, and some possible additions for the future. Come on in and sit a spell!

Daniel and Allen talk about the last week, the series with the Reds, and look at a few other issues surrounding the Cardinals. Is the closer spot really about matchups and will Alex Reyes find himself back there soon? What does the rest of the way look like for the Cardinals? And could the Cardinals have come up with a more boring September callup class? All this and much more!

What is Mike Shildt doing? Is the bullpen going to survive? Even though they scored seven runs, this offense isn't reliable either. Plus there's the Yadier Molina extension to discuss as well. So much packed into one hour!

Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) talk about the win on Thursday, the series in general, and what's coming up for the Cardinals, Reds, and Padres. There's also a discussion of bullpen management by the manager (before news of Ryan Helsley's injury broke) and more condemnation about the circumstances around Kolten Wong playing on the visitor's side this weekend.

Now, on the verge of another series with Kansas City, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) sit down and talk about if there are signs for optimism. Jack Flaherty is coming back, though Wade LeBlanc seems to be going out. Can the club make a run at the wild card? Is the upcoming Milwaukee series a line in the sand?

Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) try to come to terms with a Cardinals team that seems like they are already playing meaningless baseball even if they aren't technically eliminated. Should we see more creativity, both on the field and from the front office? How are we feeling about Alex Reyes and Giovanny Gallegos? What sort of pitfalls might the club...2021-08-061h 17Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastEpisode 208: Trades For Thee But Not For MeBack in January, the guys were recording when Nolan Arenado became a Cardinal. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) hoped lightning would strike twice as they recorded less than 24 hours before the trade deadline, only to see a couple of potential targets head elsewhere (it appears). While much of the show focuses around the club's inaction and silent running during this active time, the guys do talk about the recent games in Cincinnati and Cleveland as well as the schedule ahead. All of that pales in comparison to the waiting game going on rig...2021-07-301h 03Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals PodcastEpisode 207: Trending UpwardIt was a much better week of Cardinal baseball than we've seen in a while, even if it had one crushing ninth inning mixed in. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) talk about a wide variety of Cardinals topics. Is there a concern over the bullpen usage and that Alex Reyes and Giovanny Gallegos might get overused? Will John Mozeliak make a move at the deadline or rely on the return of Jack Flaherty and Miles Mikolas? Will Yadier Molina ever rest?

Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) pepper Kyle with questions at all levels of the organization. What should the Cardinals do at the deadline? What kind of chips do they have at the minor leagues? There's plenty of discussion about the minors, most notably the new #PatronProspect Alec Burleson. (Apparently, you can't have two at one time, learn something new every day.) Then Kyle brings the knowledge about the draft.

The focus, of course, is on the upcoming trade deadline. Who could they actually use as trade chips? Is Andrew Knizner being showcased? With Carlos Martinez going down, are they forced to make a pitching move? There's also a look at the upcoming series with the Cubs and how bad things have been for the North Siders as well, so there's something positive!

Does that make us feel any better? With Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) out of pocket, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) breaks it down with Ben Godar (Cardinals Off Day, @bengodar).

They lost all three and none of them were particularly close. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) try to make some sense out of this team and really struggle at it. What should we make of Tommy Edman's comments about hitting preparation? What kind of moves can be made that would be effective? Is it too early to write this team off? Is someone going to lose their job over all this?

The club is as maddeningly frustrating and mediocre as ever and the guys talk about the biggest issues relating to St. Louis. It's hard to believe, but the focus seems to have shifted to the offense. Could they get a bat? Would they get one, if it meant displacing someone like Paul DeJong? The pitching isn't ignored, of course, but unfortunately no issues are solved.

Is it an encouraging sign that the starting pitching put up three quality starts in a row? Is it better to lose a 3-2 game or a 12-2 game? How long do you stay the course?
