Juan Soto Trade Frenzy Is At An All Time High

August 01, 2022 16:56 - 24 minutes - 22.7 MB

The Juan Soto trade to the St. Louis Cardinals frenzy was at it's peak this weekend in Washington where the Cardinals faced the Nationals. Why the argument to trade for the superstar or pitching continues to rage on in Cardinal's Nation. Paul DeJong makes a triumphant return to the team this weekend, does it make Nolan Gorman more expendable? Recap of the games this past weekend in Washington where the Cardinals took 2 of 3 Andre Pallante throws his best game as a member of the Cardinals....

We also share updates on Paul DeJong and Yadier Molina. What does DeJong's call up mean for the Cardinals moving towards the deadline? Molina got hit in the write at AAA M...

First Trade Piece Falls, and Albert Pujols + Adam Wainwright Shine In Toronto

July 28, 2022 15:45 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MB

The St. Louis Cardinals were able to rebound last night, beating the Blue Jays 6-1 in Toronto. Adam Wainwright and Albert Pujols turned in vintage performances, Wainwright going seven strong and Pujols turning in a three-hit performance with a home run. JD and Lucas discuss how the veterans led the charge. Meanwhile in New York, the first trade piece has fallen as the Yankees traded for Andrew Benintendi. How does this affect the Juan Soto trade market? (If at all) WANT MORE DAILY ST. LOUI...

Soto Still the "Fun" Move, But the Cardinals Need Pitching

July 27, 2022 14:31 - 30 minutes - 27.6 MB

In a 10-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays last night, the need for pitching on this team came front and center. The St. Louis Cardinals are having a bad July, and a large part of that is the inability to get outs from the rotation. Last night, Andre Pallante was not super effective and he was followed by less-than-spectacular performances from Jordan Hicks and Junior Fernandez. Everyone is talking about Juan Soto, and rightfully so, but there is no denying that this team needs pitching in a ba...

With more and more Juan Soto reports coming in, we take a lot of time in today's show to answer your questions on Soto and the Cardinals! Questions were submitted via Twitter and Instagram, and they range from who the Cardinals might be sending to Washington to would we rather the Cardinals go for pitching. It's hard to ignore a name and a talent like Soto, but the need for pitching on this team has us thinking twice. Also, the Cardinals are north of the border for a two game series with th...

Does the Steven Matz Injury Change The Juan Soto Plans?

July 25, 2022 16:47 - 29 minutes - 27 MB

Not only did the St, Louis Cardinals lost two of three games over the weekend, but they also lost Steven Matz to injury (again). Matz was cruising against the Reds on Saturday before tearing his MCL in an attempt to field a ground ball. It was never a secret that the Cardinals need pitching, but does this loss steer them in a direction away from Juan Soto and towards picking up a few arms at the deadline? Also, with no Paul Goldschmidt or Nolan Arenado in Toronto, who needs to step up for t...

How Likely is a Juan Soto Trade to the Cardinals?

July 21, 2022 17:03 - 31 minutes - 29 MB

Juan Soto is the talk of baseball right now. He recently turned down a $440 million contract and the reports are that the Nationals are entertaining the thought of trading hime. Whether you believe it or not, there are many reports that the Cardinals are willing to make an offer (who wouldn't be?). Soto is going to demand a hefty package, one full of major league players and highly touted prospects. Another wrinkle? Patrick Corbin will likely be coming with Soto, as the Nationals are looking...

Goldy + Helsley Shine In LA for the Cards

July 20, 2022 16:40 - 30 minutes - 28.4 MB

Nobody wants to disappoint when playing in the Midsummer Classic. The Cardinals did NOT disappoint when representing the city of St. Louis in LA. Paul Goldschmidt cranked a solo shot in the first and Ryan Helsley struck out two - and showcased 103 mph - in his scoreless inning of work. While Goldy should've played more and Pujols could have gotten a better send off, St. Louis should be proud of its All-Stars. We know not every All Star Game can be a good game, and after the first four innin...

Pujols Impress in HR Derby, ASG Next (+Will Soto Be A Cardinal?

July 19, 2022 15:08 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MB

Albert Pujols advanced out of the first round of his final Home Run Derby, falling to the eventual champion Juan Soto in the semifinals. His one-minute swing-off was arguably the best minute of the Derby. What was made clear was the amount of respect and admiration the rest of the league has for him. We hope he gets his moment tonight in the All-Star Game as well. It remains to be seen how he, Miles Mikolas or Ryan Helsley will be used off the bench/out of the bullpen tonight. Will the Card...

HR Derby Preview, What to Expect From The Machine

July 18, 2022 22:04 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MB

The Machine is appearing in his final Home Run Derby tonight. While Albert Pujols is the oldest competitor with the least amount of home runs this season, he can still put on a show for the fans. He's facing off with Kyle Schwarber in the first round, so it will not be an easy feat. JD and Lucas share their thoughts on what to expect from Pujols. Despite game three being postponed, the Cardinals dominated over the weekend. We saw Paul Goldschmidt hit his 300th career home run, Tommy Edman p...

The St. Louis Cardinals were shutout in the finale against the LA Dodgers. While the Dodgers are one of the best teams in the NL, this is definitely a series that got away from the Cardinals. After a 7-6 win, they preceded to blow a 6-0 lead before getting shut-out on Thursday. The good news is the Reds are coming to town.

Offense Shines, Bullpen Fails in Loss to Dodgers

July 14, 2022 14:35 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MB

The St. Louis Cardinals had a win slip from their fingertips last night in a 7-6 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Leading 6-0 in the 7th, the Cardinal bullpen surrendered 7 runs in the final three frames. Was this a cause of bad management, bad bullpen formation or players underperforming? How about a combination of all three. That said, the offense was wonderful last night, getting contributions up and down the lineup. Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado mashed early, but you also saw Andr...

Did the Opener Actually Work Yesterday?

July 13, 2022 15:46 - 30 minutes - 28.4 MB

Despite a Los Angeles Dodger comeback, the St. Louis Cardinals prevailed victorious yesterday by the final of 7-6. Jordan Hicks was used as the opener, who gave way to Johan Oviedo, then scheduled starter Matthew Liberatore came in the game in the fourth inning. St. Louis won, does this make that move a successful one? Should the Cardinals implement this strategy again? What was the reasoning behind it? Also, a happy birthday shoutout to Yadier Molina. He could be returning around the trade...

Pujols to the HR Derby + Bottom of the Lineup Stepped Up Last Night

July 12, 2022 16:17 - 32 minutes - 30.3 MB

Albert Pujols has been named to the Home Run Derby team, one of four participants in the NL. This is his fifth appearance in the Derby, and will be his last. Can he go out on top? The bottom of the St. Louis Cardinals lineup was a key in the Cardinals win over the Phillies. After JD and Lucas questioned the likes of Edmundo Sosa, Corey Dickerson and Lars Nootbaar, they all produced key RBI's in the win. Who else should the two question in order to get them to produce? This week's series ag...

Pujols Ignites the Offense, Plus 4 Cards Are All-Stars

July 11, 2022 13:21 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MB

Four Cardinals were named to the NL All-Star Team over the weekend. Albert Pujols (Legacy), Paul Goldschmidt (Starter), Nolan Arenado (Reserve), and Ryan Helsley (Bullpen) will all represent St. Louis in LA next week at the mid-summer classic. Was there a Cardinal that was not named, but should have been? Also, Pujols hit a home run in a Cardinal win as the offense came back to life, even if only for one game. While Pujols provided the homer, the offense mainly relied on small-ball Sunday t...

Dylan Carlson Saves Cards From Sweep, Phillies Up Next (Again)

July 08, 2022 15:44 - 30 minutes - 27.7 MB

Dylan Carlson helped the Cardinals with his bat, his glove, and his arm yesterday as St. Louis avoided the sweep, It was an all-hands-on-deck night for the bullpen, but they held it together and only surrendered two runs in the extra-inning win. Carlson getting hot is huge for this team, as is the possible return of Tyler O'Neill this weekend. The Cardinals will look for better fortunes against the Phillies this weekend. Pitching this weekend provides some fun matchups, such as Wheeler/Wainw...

Cardinal Offense is Sputtering, and What Was Mikolas Upset With Last Night?

July 07, 2022 16:42 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MB

The St. Louis Cardinals are in danger of getting swept by the Atlanta Braves. While the Braves are a good team with solid pitching, the lack of offense from the Cardinals is starting to be a concern. They aren't hitting with RISP and they're stranding too many runners on. Can Tyler O'Neil's and Harrison Bader's return help this team enough? Miles Mikolas was not as sharp as he's been, and he said he was frustrated with the Braves' hitters for getting time granted so late. Is his grievance j...

Should MLB Send Albert Pujols to the All-Star Game? (Yes)

July 06, 2022 05:00 - 31 minutes - 28.7 MB

It's been reported that the commissioner now has the right to send someone to the All-Star game in recognition of their career accomplishments. Few people in the NL deserve it like Cardinals' legend Albert Pujols. It would be a return to LA, an opportunity for the nation to say goodbye to a legend and a chance for a memorable All-Star moment. JD and Lucas both wholeheartedly agree Rob Manfred should make this happen. Also, this team still (desperately) needs pitching. This is being made mo...

Cardinals Need Some Pitching Help (JD's Co-Hosting Now!)

July 05, 2022 22:41 - 34 minutes - 31.7 MB

The St. Louis Cardinals, as it stands, are a playoff team. However, that does not mean they are without weakness. This team needs additions to its' pitching staff, and they need to be external. JD Hafron, the show's new co-host, joins the show to break down some options for the Cardinals! Frankie Montas' name gets thrown around a lot, but what about a Madison Bumgarner, Noah Syndergaard or in-Division Foe Luis Castillo?

Goldy Sprinting Towards the NL MVP

July 01, 2022 21:41 - 26 minutes - 24.3 MB

As the calendar turns to July, trade season is heating up and the All Star Game is nearing. The midway point is also near, so it's time to start thinking about who the MVP should be. In the NL it's no real question: Paul Goldschmidt. Locked On MLB hosts all voted on MVP Power Rankings, and Goldy was voted in the No. 1 spot. Is anyone else even close?

Many have said the Cardinals need pitching help, which is true. However, to get help they will have to give something up. Who are some candidates that could be on the move? While the top four prospects likely are staying put, there are some prospects that could be moved. What about Harrison Bader or Tyler O'Neill?

If it Wasn't Clear Before, It's Clear the Cardinals Need Pitching Now

June 27, 2022 21:19 - 27 minutes - 25.5 MB

The starting rotation for the St. Louis Cardinals took a hit on Monday with Jack Flaherty going to the IL with a shoulder strain. With his ineffectiveness and another IL stint, it's time to admit the Cardinals need starting pitching help. It's been clear they've needed the bullpen help, but now the Cardinals should seriously consider external help for their staff. This was highlighted after a bad weekend against the Chicago Cubs. How can the Cardinals turn things around against the Miami Mar...

Gorman Impressing Early in Career

June 22, 2022 17:00 - 27 minutes - 25.5 MB

Nolan Gorman has 6 home runs in 29 games, including 2 last night against Milwaukee. We knew he'd strike out, but we didn't know he'd adjust to the majors so quickly. If he keeps up this pace, an All-Star appearance and a running at Rookie of the Year are not out of the question. In other news, Jack Flaherty struggled for a second straight start. It's difficult to watch, but we know the talent is still there, he just has to execute. WANT MORE DAILY ST. LOUIS CARDINALS CONTENT? Follow & Sub...
