Chirps - Episode 47 - Time To Fly To Atlanta
October 02, 2019 03:51 - 57 minutes - 33.1 MBJust like everyone knew from the very beginning, the Cardinals are NL Central Champs! No, don't go back and listen to our series preview show. We've been all in just like the front office has been! Ok, the important thing is, the Cardinals held off a charging Brew Crew to book their flight to Atlanta for the NLDS. So... How did they do it? Who leads the way to Atlanta? What bullpen arms are suspect, even after extra rest? Does Dallas Keuchel have an unfair advantage? And, one last ...
PaD - Season 2 - The Who Lit The Fire Under The 2019 Central Division Champs Episode

Cardinals Vs Cubs || The Last Stand || Series Preview
September 26, 2019 16:30 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MBIt all comes down to this. Well, not ALL all. But as far as the NLCentral crown, this is how the story ends. The Cubs vs the Cardinals, one last time for 2019. The Brewers have turned up the pressure, and the Cardinals have to sort out how to best use an exhausted bullpen to try to seal the deal and stop the Crew just short. Two losses in Arizona hurt the momentum, and the off day -- while good in theory -- hasn't always been kind to these Cardinals. But, there's no time like the present...
Chirps - Episode 46 - The Legend And The Rookie
September 25, 2019 04:39 - 53 minutes - 49.4 MBThe Cardinals have shaved down their magic number like John Brebbia shaving his beard at the end of the season -- dramatically. And it all feels sort of like a dream. This week, Tara returns and together with Alex, they try to make sense of the weekend at Wrigley that put the Cardinals firmly in the driver's seat in the NLC. Who stood out over the weekend? How good has Yadier Molina been? Do we owe Tommy Edman and Mike Shildt an apology? Plus, the Chirp of the Week takes us back to W...
Cardinals Vs -- Goldschmidt's Return To AZ -- Series Preview
September 23, 2019 19:54 - 28 minutes - 51.3 MBThe Cardinals are back in the postseason. That much we know for sure. Their return to the division title, though, must first go through Paul Goldschmidt's old hometown. As he returns to Arizona fir the first time, the Cardinals look to carry the momentum from a four-game sweep at Wrigley Field. The Diamondbacks -- though not mathematically eliminated just yet -- could still play an important role in deciding the Cardinals' fate. Jesse Friedman from The Rattle podcast joins Tara Wellman to ...

Baseball was his choice, where he proved to be a gifted Center Fielder, a World Champion, a star player, and hero to many. Flood earned the life any of us would have dreamed of. But the world kept pushing back. Segregated hotels, prejudiced owners, racist landlords, a missed fly ball at the worst time, and a lawsuit no one ever expected he’d, where he kne...
Chirps - Episode 45 - Here Come The Cubs
September 18, 2019 16:17 - 56 minutes - 51.3 MBThis week, Alex is joined by the Blogfather himself -- Daniel Shoptaw -- as the Cardinals get ready for the showdown with the Cubs, division on the line. How did the Cardinals get here? Who can they depend on down the stretch? And what needs to happen this weekend in Chicago to have a change at taking back the division crown?

Cardinals vs Nationals || The Race To October || Series Preview
September 16, 2019 17:33 - 27 minutes - 15.7 MB#Cardinals #Nationals #WildCard Cardinals vs Nationals || The Race To October || Series Preview When the St. Louis Cardinals last saw the Washington Nationals, the Harper-less squad was hapless, too. Fast forward a few months, and the Nats are right back in the postseason hunt, just like they're supposed to be. Meanwhile, the Cardinals are desperately trying to hold onto their NL Central division lead, and taking on a gauntlet of postseason contenders in the process. Blake Finney of Fe...

Cardinals vs. Brewers || The Wild Wild...Central || Series Preview
September 13, 2019 18:22 - 27 minutes - 15.5 MBCardinals vs Brewers || The Wild Wild...Central || Series Preview The 2019 season started with the Cardinals and the Brewers. And, just-sort-of-almost-but-not-really like we expected, it's coming down to their final matchup, too. Well, that and the remaining 7 games between the Cardinals and the Cubs. But that's a different preview for later. Kyle is back to fill us in on all things Brewers, including who's hurt (spoiler: EVERYONE), who's back (Moooooose!) and who to watch out of the bu...
Chirps - Episode 44 - Crowning An Ace
September 11, 2019 04:27 - 45 minutes - 41.3 MBWith 18 games to play, the Cardinals remain atop the NL Central. But even with the calendar on their side, there is no real rest for the anxious minds of expectant fans... especially with seven games remaining with the 2nd place Chicago Cubs. Can they hold on? If Jack Flaherty has anything to say about it, their odds seem good. Baseball's best starter since the All Star break seems to get better and better with each turn through the rotation. And bookending Flaherty's Ace-like efforts i...

Chirps - Episode 43 - The Dreaded Double-Double
September 04, 2019 04:47 - 53 minutes - 48.7 MBLast week, guest co-host Ben Godar and Alex asked if this Cardinals team is for real. This week, Tara returns to find that they just might be. A marathon weekend that could have ripple effects for days to come went from nightmare to day dream, in large part because of surprisingly good starting pitching (and also some exhilarating late-game heroics). But, the back-to-back doubleheaders mean Michael Wacha pitches Wednesday on short rest, and there's reason to question the wisdom behind tha...
Chirps - Episode 42 - Is This For Real?
August 28, 2019 06:05 - 48 minutes - 44 MBAlex is joined by Ben Godar this week, and they dive into the current Cardinals winning streak, as well as baseball at large (we're talking managers, documentaries, the "health" of baseball, and more). Because we really just want to know - are the Cardinals actually good? Or is it all just a mirage? Plus, Alex turns the Chirp of the Week over to our guest, and you might be surprised who pops up in the conversation... Like what you hear? Subscribe/rate the show and send your friends our wa...
Chirps - Episode 41 - The Unfortunate Case Of Tommy Edman
August 21, 2019 06:31 - 1 hour - 56.2 MBWhat do baseball games and podcasts have in common? They're probably a little too long. But that doesn't stop you from watching, so it shouldn't stop you from listening, either! This week, Tara and Alex tackle the Tommy Edman conundrum, complete with a pop quiz on WHY Mike Shildt keeps starting him and batting him 2nd. Then, they dive into the ongoing debate over whether baseball in its current form is actually bad, what can be done about it, and why former players can't seem to say any...
Chirps - Episode 40 - A Closer Look: Too Many Outfielders? Let's Go To The Replay...
August 14, 2019 05:30 - 53 minutes - 49.2 MBThe Cardinals are in Kansas City after sweeping the Pirates at home over the weekend. But a few things stuck out in that series... namely, the seemingly ineffective use of MLB's replay review process. While the staff tries to sort out just what to do with ALL THOSE OUTFIELDERS, Tara and Alex try to find a way to make replay better. Or, is it actually fine? What IS "Irrefutable," anyway? Should the call on the field be the priority? But what about the 5 other camera angles that contradic...

Chirps - Episode 39 - No Reinforcements For You!
August 07, 2019 05:08 - 57 minutes - 52.3 MBThe trade deadline came and went with little fanfare (except for the Houston Astros), leaving the 2019 Cardinals to fend for themselves in the final two months of the season. Why is that a problem, and -- more importantly -- what can the Birds do now?! After a week off, Tara and Alex are back to tackle all of that and more. Plus, Alex cheers us up with donuts and a Chirp of the Week to distract you from the current Cardinal woes. Follow Alex on Twitter: @alexcards79 Follow Tara on Twitt...

Chirps - Episode 38 - Eat My Dust, Nerds!
July 24, 2019 07:00 - 56 minutes - 52.1 MBAre the Cardinals setting up a magic trick that makes the rest of the division disappear? Or is this just a mirage playing tricks on us all? A 9-3 run since the All Star break has the masses talking, and this week, Alex and Tara talk about Paul Goldschmidt getting hot (maybe?) and Carlos Martínez going ice cold at incredibly inconvenient timing. The trade deadline creeps closer, and just what are the options facing the Cardinals this season? Plus, the Chirp of the Week features another st...
We're Still Talking About RAAAANNNNNDDDYYYY - Prospect to be Named Later (PTBNL)
July 18, 2019 02:13 - 44 minutes - 45.9 MBKyle and Colin discussed the recent Blogger Day at Busch Stadium, including the Cardinals tendency to call up minor leaguers and not play them, Mo's recent trades (they aren't great, folks), and the general aloofness of Bill DeWitt Jr. Kyle went on a rant so listen to that at least. They also discussed Bader vs. Arozarena, debated if Bader should be trade bait, briefly recapped Kyle's Dirty 35 (specifically talked about Junior Fernandez, Johan Oviedo, and Alvaro Seijas), questioned if the Wil...
Chirps - Episode 37 - Getting Hot: Fact Or Fiction?
July 17, 2019 11:47 - 49 minutes - 45.4 MBDoes a winning streak out of the All Star Break mean anything? Is Tyler O'Neill finally coming around? Can we buy into the run scoring in the first series or two, or is this all just one big prank? Those are the questions Tara and Alex try to answer, while watching the Cardinals squander another series of chances against the Pirates as the show goes along. So... the usual!

Chirps - Episode 36 - Perfectly, Painfully Average At The All Star Break
July 10, 2019 05:45 - 51 minutes - 47.2 MBThe Cardinals survived the disaster of May, only to "rebound" in June by maintaining their absolutely average pace. At 44-44 on the season, where do the Cardinals go from here? What can they fix? Is this where an era of Cardinals baseball ends? And then, there's the All star Game.

Chirps - Episode 35 - What Do Hitting Coaches Even Do, Anyway?
July 03, 2019 05:51 - 40 minutes - 23.3 MBThere wasn't much baseball this week, and that left lots of time for Tara and Alex to ponder things like... What sort of impact does a hitting coach really have, anyway? Was Mike Shildt offended or just defensive? And how 'bout that lone All Star, Paul DeJong?

And does The Machine end up with a statue outside of Busch? And then there's the matter of Kolten Wong. If you've not noticed, he's pretty #good. Notably NOT good? Jordan Hicks, down for the count. Tara and Alex discuss the latest on the flame thrower's elbow injury and what it means for Mike Shildt's bullpen choices. Plus, Alex's Chirp of the Week stems f...

Cardinals vs. Marlins Different Roads, Same Destination Series Preview #23
June 10, 2019 22:11 - 28 minutes - 16.2 MBThe last time the Cardinals were swept by the Cubs at Wrigley, they spiraled into an entire month with just 9 total wins. This time, they follow up the sweep at Wrigley with a trip to Miami to face a team suddenly looking to compete, despite being years ahead of "postseason contention," at least on paper. The Miami Marlins aren't supposed to be good. The St. Louis Cardinals are. Which team will discover enough offense to stay on top? Plus, the Cardinals will get an up-close-and-personal...

This week, Alex and Tara talk through the weekend series with the North Siders, and then debate whether or not the sudden success is based on things that are sustainable. They also dive into the Jordan Hicks conundrum - He has to pitch to stay sharp, but there aren't many chances for saves these days. What's a manager to do? And if you want a little Way Back Wednesday action, feel free to jump into the Tony La Russa c...

June 01, 2019 17:07 - 34 minutes - 19.6 MBThe story continues... The Cubs sweep of the Cardinals at Wrigley sent the Redbirds spiraling into a disastrous month of May. The series opener on Friday will be the Cardinals' last chance to win back-to-back games in the month. No pressure, right? But what's been happening on the Cubs front since then? Evan Altman (@DEvanAltman) from Cubs Insider joins me to talk it all out. ...and to discuss that ridiculous shirt he's wearing. #SorryNotSorry Follow Evan on Twitter - https://twitter...

Cardinals vs. Phillies Wrapping Up May - Bang or Bust Series Preview #19
May 29, 2019 06:19 - 31 minutes - 18 MBThe St. Louis Cardinals - Wrapping Up May with a Bang or as a Bust? That's the question facing the .500 Cardinals as they make the trip to Philadelphia this week for three games. The Phillies, though, have spent the last week in the NL Central themselves. So what have they learned about the division leaders that the Cardinals are trying to chase down? Plus, what exactly is wrong with Bryce Harper? Who has stepped up while he flounders? And how is the rotation hanging on enough, despite ...

But, fine. Let's talk Cardinals, too. This week, Tara and Alex lament another week of bad results, but wonder who's to blame for them? Is the rotation enough? Can these Cardinals play catch-up? How can Mike Shildt be judged so far? And what about John Mozeliak? Plus, Alex reports back on the NL Batting Race, and then offers a Chirp...
Cardinals vs Rangers || Deep in the Heart of Texas || Series Preview #15
May 18, 2019 15:53 - 32 minutes - 18.9 MBThe St. Louis Cardinals - Deep in the Heart of Texas It's been nearly eight years since the Cardinals and the Texas Rangers last met. That series turned out in the Cardinals' favor, thanks to the likes of Lance Berkman and David Freese. This series, though, features two teams that have faced rough stretches in the month of May, despite flexing their offensive muscles every now and then. Levi Weaver writes about the Rangers for The Athletic, and he's seen it all - The struggles of Rougn...
Chirps - Episode 28 - Doom And Gloom???
May 15, 2019 05:02 - 50 minutes - 45.8 MBLast week was raining and cold and just generally bad for baseball. So, Tara and Alex dive into the doom and gloom and try to determine whether or not the 2019 St. Louis Cardinals are actually just... bad. Will the starting pitching really get better? Does the offense have what it takes without Matt Carpenter? Should Mike Shildt move his leadoff man out of the leadoff spot? Do even good managers have bad weeks? Plus, if you think this team/week is bad, Alex highlights something even w...
Pirates vs Cardinals - The Puzzle of Pitching - Series Preview #13
May 09, 2019 23:06 - 30 minutes - 17.5 MBThe St. Louis Cardinals have had a ROUGH week, dropping back to back series in pretty frustrating fashion. The Pittsburgh Pirates came so close to a two-game “mini sweep” of the texas Rangers to start the week, and then the bullpen blew the save and the win on Wednesday. Pittsburgh Pirates reporter Alex Stumpf joins me to preview the ever-important NL Central series between the two at Busch Stadium this weekend. We talk injuries (there are a lot of them!), offense (Josh Bell and Melky C...

May 08, 2019 04:36 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MBThe Cardinals took a beating at Wrigley field, and (during the recording of this particular show) suffered another walloping by the Phillies. But this week, Tara and Alex get specific and talk about what is happening with the top of the Cardinals lineup. Will Matt Carpenter and Paul Goldschmidt actually bounce back? And how long will that take? While they struggle, though, Paul DeJong is doing historic things. And it's about time he gets some dedicated air time. Plus, Alex finds a way t...
Phillies vs. Cardinals Bryce Harper Visits Busch Series Preview #12
May 07, 2019 00:11 - 30 minutes - 17.7 MB#Cardinals #Phillies #MLB Phillies vs Cardinals - Bryce Harper Visits Busch Stadium Many a Cardinals fan couldn't wait for the day Bryce Harper jogged out to right field at Busch Stadium. It's just... in that particular fantasy, he did so as a CARDINAL, not as a visiting player. Alas, Harper will spend the next three days experiencing St. Louis baseball once again as the enemy, rather than the hero. But Bryce hasn't endeared himself to many Phillies fans just yet, either. Can the Cardin...
Cardinals vs. Cubs || Drama At Wrigley || Series Preview #11
May 02, 2019 21:19 - 43 minutes - 24.7 MBCardinals vs Cubs at Wrigley - Series Preview The Cardinals had to Chicago for the first head-to-head matchup with the rival Cubs over the weekend. And they'll meet a team that's surging, thanks in large part to a dramatic improvement in starting pitching. But there's been drama that had it's own drama for Cubs fans in the last year, and before we dive into baseball, we tackle the elephant in the room. Corey Fineran from Ivy Envy helps me work through the Addison Russell dilemma, then we...
Chirps - Episode 26 - The Hottest Bats In Cardinals History
May 01, 2019 04:57 - 43 minutes - 39.7 MBThe 2019 Cardinals have a lineup (and then some!) full of HOT bats. But how does this group stack up compared to some of the great offensive teams of the past? That is the debate Tara and Alex dive into this week. They may not have an MV3, but they might yet have the on-base monster that Mo and Co. have tried to build for the last handful of years. And the result is... FUN. How do you think this 2019 team could stack up against the best of the best? And is it WAY too early to even have th...
