Episode 183: Cardinals Past and Present

The Cardinals have been extremely busy over the last few days and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) are here to talk about it.  Before they get into that, though, the guys chat with Mike Mitchell (@rickeysredbirds), author of Mr. Rickey's Redbirds.  Mike talks about the process of writing his book, some of the stories about Rickey and baseball in St. Louis, and whether Rickey would have tried to break the color barrier had he stayed in St. Louis instead of moving to Brooklyn. Then the guys get into all this work that the front office has been doing since the last show.  The trade for Dexter Fowler last night was a bit of a surprise.  What does that mean for the outfield?  Kolten Wong is a Milwaukee Brewer now.  Is it a good thing that we'll see him 18 times a year?  Then more talk about Nolan Arenado and what in the world is happening in Colorado.  Another long one so strap in and enjoy!
