With a major snow storm bearing down on both of them, Daniel (@C70) chats with Lynn Worthy of the Post-Dispatch (@LWorthySports). (The storm kept Allen (@amedlock1) from joining the fun.) Daniel and Lynn talk about the changes in the job after shifting to the columnist side of things before tackling the current Cardinals squad. There's a large delta on what this team could be which makes it fascinating. Who is going to emerge as a leader should Brendan Donovan get traded? What's the personality going to be? The guys also get into Chaim Bloom's tenure and what the future holds there. A good conversation to help you think warm baseball thoughts!

If it's the lid-lifter to a new season, you know Jeff Jones (@jmjones) of the Belleville News-Democrat is dropping by. With Allen (@amedlock1) hitting that time of year, Daniel (@C70) chats with Jeff about a wide variety of Cardinals topics, including the signing of Ryne Stanek for the bullpen. How strange is it to be looking at signings for what they'll get at the trade deadline? How does the uncertainty in the TV contract area affect the club and their actions? Why is JJ Wetherholt so important to the future of this team? All this and much more with one of the veterans of the press box!

The winter meetings came and went and for the Cardinals, it was a quiet one, at least on the face of it. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about Willson Contreras's availability, the lack of activity in Orlando, and when we might see some activity. There's also discussion of Chaim Bloom's comments about Ivan Herrera's training and the draft lottery disappointment. All this and a few rabbit trails wandered down as we get ready for the holidays!

It's been a little bit since the guys got together, but Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) always pick up where they left off. How surprising was the Sonny Gray trade, at least in timing? What are the expectations for this week at the winter meetings? How clear is the change in philosophy from the change in the front office? Plus some talk about the contention window and what 2026 might look like. Give it a listen!

The holiday season is upon us and so Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are talking turkey. The Cards have stuffed their 40-man roster with some new seasonings while some other trimmings have been discarded. Can we read anything out of Chaim Bloom's carvings? Can Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman be a featured dish or are they destined to be the casserole that gets overlooked? Could Bloom cook up a trade before the big gathering? Tuck in your napkin and enjoy another podcast serving!

After a little time off, Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) get back to talking baseball. The guys discuss the playoffs before turning to some of the moves the Cardinals made this week. Where do we see the hand of Chaim Bloom? Do any of these moves really mean anything or will they be quickly forgotten? There's also discussion of why no Cardinal personnel filled any open managerial/front office spot, what the jump from college to pro may be like for Tony Vitello, and lots of CBA worry. Plus Alec Burleson and Masyn Winn won awards! Come give it a listen!

With still no direct Cardinals news given the playoff hiatus, Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) spend some time with a few other topics. The postseason has been remarkable, even if the expected NL winner turned out to be the actual NL winner. Is that just a function of payroll? Is Shohei Ohtani the greatest ever? The guys then dig into a little bit of the injury news, with three Cardinals going under the knife recently, and how that might affect Chaim Bloom's approach. They wrap it up talking about the former Cardinals skipper now being the former Padres skipper as well. Come enjoy this random assortment of baseball talk!

With the playoffs going on, there's not necessarily a ton of Cardinals news out there but that didn't stop Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) from getting together to chat. They talk about the playoffs, then about some of the press Chaim Bloom and the new front office got this week. The guys tackle Cardinal legends as managers or coaches and the Jordan Walker Driveline video. Plus Rich (@remembirds) talks about Harry Carey's firing. Spend some time with us!

The baton is passed. The reins are handed over. The crown sits on a new head. It was a significant week for the St. Louis Cardinals, with a peaceful transfer of power from John Mozeliak to Chaim Bloom. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about both of the press conferences this week. Did Mo say anything surprising on his way out? Did we learn anything from Bloom's remarks? How will the change in the two regimes be visible? Have Bloom and the DeWitts really not talked about payroll? A free-wheeling conversation about a new page in a storied history!

With just two games left for the St. Louis Cardinals, held in the so-called Friendly Confines, it's an opportunity to look back a bit and look forward a lot. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the Cardinals officially being eliminated, the end of the Miles Mikolas era, and speculate wildly about what might happen this winter. Is there a path that leads to a significant remodel? How confident are we that the churn that we've talked about for years will actually happen? Plus the return of Rich as he looks at Bob Forsch's second no-hitter!

As the season winds down, the evaluations begin and, overall, they aren't what we were hoping for. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) spend the show talking about Katie Woo's latest tone-setting piece, indicating the Cardinals organization is planning a long-term rebuild. Is this the right move? What will Chaim Bloom do this winter? Is there a chance all three big name contracts are dealt? How do fans approach not winning for a while? It's a wide-ranging conversation that we hope you enjoy!

Another week of St. Louis Cardinals baseball is off the calendar and Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are here on a rare Friday afternoon to talk about it. The Cards drop three in Seattle and while that technically impacted their playoff chances, they've been infinitesimal for a while. The guys talk about recent roster moves, how the John Mozeliak legacy might be looked at in retrospect, and the aggressive (or is it?) movement of Liam Doyle to Springfield. They also discuss another late scratch for Masyn Winn and what needs to be done. Come wrap a week of Cards baseball with us!

After another Cardinals beatdown, Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) get together to talk the week that was and the winter that could be. What will be the first indication that the club is becoming less risk averse? How will Chaim Bloom be able to work within ownership limitations? Was the public discussion of Jordan Walker by the coaching staff helpful or disturbing? Will we be seeing some of the big names again this season? All that and more as the season starts to wind down!

The Cardinals may have made more news outside of actual games than on the field this week. (Well, some of it was on the field, but not game action.) The promotion of Jimmy Crooks and Cesar Prieto caused some stirs and Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about how these guys can fit into the puzzle. Before that, though, they talk about what a rebuild means and how things might look under Chaim Bloom this winter. There's also discussion of Willson Contreras's outburst and Rich (@remembirds) gives us the details around the Willie McGee trade in 1990.

It was a better week of Cardinals baseball but, after the Rockies and Yankees series, that's a low bar. The Cardinals have a weird Saturday off day but Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are here to talk about what they've seen this week and how that informs their thoughts on the future. For instance, is there any chance Miles Mikolas returns? What does the rotation look like next year? Are we too attached to some of these hitters and does Chaim Bloom need to plan to clean house? The guys also touch on the debut of Nathan Church and the realignment buzz that was in the news this week. Plus Rich (@remembirds) plays Glenn Brummer and steals the show!

You'd think beating the Cubs and Dodgers would make for some momentum, but the Cards let that all slip away by losing a series to the Rockies. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about this roller-coaster of a team, trying to get a handle on it. They talk about the lack of offense and what might be done about it, who might not be a Cardinal in 2026, and what the approach of the front office might be. Plus Rich (@remembirds) fills us in on Bob Gibson's no-hitter.
