    The St. Louis Cardinals have played (and won) a baseball game so all is right with the world. After guesting over at Talking About Birds (@talkingaboutbirds.bsky.social) the day before the season starts, Daniel (@C70) brings Nate and Ben over to his side to break down all the excitement. Using The Cardinal Six game that the three played at the end of TAB as a guideline, the guys talk about the excitement of JJ Wetherholt, the questions around the bullpen, the use (or lack thereof) of ABS, Nate's namesake playing left, and so much more. It's a rollicking ride that rivals yesterday's sixth for craziness! (Also, it didn't make the episode but the game wound up Nate 9, Ben 6, Daniel 1.)

From Rogers Hornsby to Colby Rasmus, the two talk about some of the biggest deals in the history of the Redbirds. Why was the Mark McGwire deal such a big deal?

    Meet Me at Musial, Episode 406, Ignoring Winter and Talking Ball

    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?

Can we be happy for both the team and Arenado in this situation? How will his tenure in St. Louis be remembered?

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?

    Meet Me at Musial, Episode 402, No Presents This Week

    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!

    Meet Me At Musial, Episode 401, Grayed Out

    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?

    Meet Me at Musial, Episode 400, Who Needs Tryptophan When You Have Us?

    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?

    Conversations With C70, Episode 4, Rebellions Are Built on Hope

  26. 237

    Meet Me at Musial, Episode 399, Roster Manipulation

    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! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Conversations With C70, Episode 3, The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise

    Daniel (@C70) continues his look around baseball, talking with Gregg Masterson (@greggtmasterson) about his Twins fandom. How did he get tied into the Twins and what kept him there? Why is the '87 team not nearly as discussed as the '91 champs? How did he get into content creation? The guys then talk about the MLB Fan Council, especially given the attention it has gathered this week. What hope is there as a Twins fan for the future? And, for the Cardinals fans, some talk about Sonny Gray. It's a packed show! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Continuing his look at fans of other teams, Daniel (@C70) sits down with Lux Farina (@TheMFinKC) to talk about the baseball team on the other side of Missouri.

    Meet Me At Musial, Episode 398, A Baseball Potpourri

    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! Learn more about your ad choices.

    Meet Me at Musial, Episode 396, Change Is Blooming

    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!

    Meet Me At Musial, Episode 395, Anticipating the End and the Beginning

    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?

    Meet Me At Musial, Episode 394, "A Multi-Year Rebuild"

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!

    Meet Me at Musial, Episode 393, Counting the Days

    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! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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!

    Meet Me At Musial, Episode 391, Define Rebuild

    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. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Meet Me At Musial, Episode 390, Miles To Go

    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!

    Meet Me At Musial, Episode 389, A Very Rocky Week

    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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Meet Me at Musial, Episode 388, The Big 4

    Even if the Cardinals were in a pennant race, the return of Yadier Molina to the dugout would have been big news. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the return of the legend, how that impacted the feel of Friday night's game, and what that means for his future. The guys also talk a lot about the front office and their approach to 2026 plus the future of Nolan Arenado. Come join us! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Meet Me At Musial, Episode 387, Selling Into The Future

    The trade deadline has come and gone and for the second time in three years, the Cardinals have focused on sending players away rather than bringing players in. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) don't get too much into what the return was because there are much better prospect evaluators out there. Instead, they talk about what the deadline means for the rest of the year, what it means for this offseason, and how the next couple of months might shake out. We didn't trade our closer, though, and Rich (@remembirds) is here to talk about the hiring of Joe Torre as manager. Come join the discussion! Learn more about your ad choices.

    Meet Me At Musial, Episode 386, A Fedde Wild Week

    With the trade deadline looming, there were plenty of topics for Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) to touch on in this week's show. Does the rebound against the Padres at all negate the stumbles against the Diamondbacks and Rockies? Will the Cardinals be tempted to not sell? Plus the guys touch on the sort-of-surprising-but-not-really release of Erick Fedde. Then they tackle the trade deadline, wondering what the return on some players might be.

    Meet Me at Musial, Episode 385, Directionally Challenged

    It's the pause that refreshes. Or, if you are like Allen (@amedlock1), the pause that drives you crazy. Baseball took its annual hiatus this week to put on the All-Star festivities. That part Allen liked, though Daniel (@C70) had his old man grumbles with it, but the lack of Cardinals baseball has been notable. Do the next 65 games matter or does the season really come down to the next six? The guys talk about the direction the club could go, how the apparent return of Jordan Walker might impact the playoff push (if there is one), and how much impact Chaim Bloom currently has. They also touch on the draft and a few other topics. Give it a listen! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Meet Me At Musial, Episode 383, A Star Spangled Podcast

    No, there aren't any actual stars in this one, just Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talking baseball on the Fourth of July. 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. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Meet Me At Musial, Episode 382, Portions of Good and Bad

    With Allen (@amedlock1) kicking back on an Hawaiian beach, Daniel (@C70) sits down with Eugene Tucker (@I_am_not_Eugene) to talk about all things Cardinals. The guys dive into Eugene's Substack and how the 100th anniversary of the Cardinals inspired it, then talk more about the week that was. The focus is on the Cubs series split and the emotions that come out of that. Is Pete Crow-Armstrong the newest Cub we love to hate? What should be done at the trade deadline? The guys also talk about the cyclical nature of the sport and whether we can be happy even if they don't win the World Series. Come listen in on the conversation! Learn more about your ad choices.

    Meet Me At Musial, Episode 378, Talking Cardinals Past and Present

    As Allen Medlock (@amedlock1) gets closer to returning, Daniel (@C70) adds some new guests to the rotation. 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 this team will be owed at the deadline, and what player on the roster might be the best subject of a similar podcast in the far future. Plus, to add to the history, we've got Rich (@remembirds) talking about the George Hendrick trade.
