We're Streaking, and We Hate It!

Talking About Birds: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast ·

2023/06/15

It's bad, man. Real bad. But, is there still reason for optimism? Can the Cardinals pull themselves out of the basement and compete in a terrible division? Is a resurgent Arenado, Donovan, and Montgomery enough to get the team going again? Should the Cardinals sell, buy, or do a bit of both? 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 Cardinals are struggling again, but Jordan Walker IS BACK. What should the Cardinals do with their roster? What is your sparkbird? Luken Baker is Luken Baker-ing! Carlson is coming back, but what should the outfield actually be? Flaherty and Mikolas are looking good (whew) but is that enough? If the Cardinals are "moving talent," who do they move?

Mo' Problems

2023/06/01

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

What the fuuuuuu is going on with the front office and could they have handled this situation any more poorly? How many roster moves will it take before this team is good?

Why did the Cardinals send down Jordan Walker? Do they have an actual plan? Can Zack Thompson and Matthew Liberatore save the rotation, or what's left of it? Why is Arenado slumping so hard, and how can he turn it around? Is the pitching bad, unlucky, or both? With an upcoming series against the struggling Tigers and

Can the Cardinals bad luck offense turn it around? Is the pitching also facing just a bunch of bad luck? Would we care so much if this was the middle of the season? Are you scared of birds, especially those that fly? What's your velo? Will the Mariners and Giants series go better?

Week one of the 2023 season is in the books and it's almost exactly as we expected. The offense is good! The pitching might be a problem! Walker is great! O'Neill is in a fight with Marmol? UGH. The Braves and the Blue Jays were a tough way to start the season, but will the Brewers and Rockies be any easier? How fast can Nate and Ben throw a pitch? Baseball!
