We are nearing the halfway point of one of the worst Cardinal seasons in memory, but don't worry, we still have a ton of very real, normal, bird facts to talk about! Talking About Birds is listener

The 19 day stretch of games has come to end and the Cardinals are in a better place, though that may still be barely above last place. Still, with Mikolas and Flaherty starting to turn it around and the offense staying strong, it's hard not to feel at least a little optimistic about the team. Of course, the shitty division helps. Is Knizner the captain now? Will Contreras get it going again? How long will Liberatore stay in the rotation? What do we do with Waino? It's June, the Cardinals
