Granted, there's not a lot to break down, so the guys also get into the spring training results, who has surprised, and some of the upcoming subplots of the 2024 season.

With about half of spring training down, Daniel (@C70) talks it over with Jake Wood (@woodbat28) of the Viva El Birdos podcast and site. The guys talk about various aspects of the spring, such as what stands out as optimistic and what shouldn't be worried about. Jordan Walker avoided injury this week but are there still concerns about him? How surprising is it that some young guys have already been sent down while others are still on the club?

With Allen (@amedlock1) closing in on the start of baseball season, Daniel (@C70) is joined by St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Lynn Worthy for a chat. They talk about Lynn's background and how being a columnist will differ from being a beat writer, then get into the state of the Cardinals. How is the return of Arenado going to affect things? Is there conflict between "runway" and having veterans in the rotation? How will the roster change throughout the season? All that and more, so come give

If you've watched the Cardinals in the last two decades, you know Jim "the Cat" Hayes (@RegionalTVCat). His dedication to regional cable journalism with a self-deprecating air has made him a legend in St. Louis. He drops by the Musial booth, as it were, to talk with Daniel (@C70) about how to prepare for a season, what players he's interested in watching, and how he thinks things might shake out in 2025. There's also discussion about the managers he's worked with, how he got the only Chaim Bloom

You know how, when there's a snow on the ground, everything is just remarkably still and quiet? Yeah, that's the sound of the Cardinals this offseason. It might be a quiet winter but that doesn't mean Daniel (@C70) can't find ways to discuss it with long-time foil Brenden Schaeffer (@bschaeffer12). There's a lot of talk about the Arenado situation, of course, but also whether the team truly believes they can walk the compete/develop line, whether they are being too dramatic about payroll, and how

It's been a quiet winter but Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) couldn't let the year finish up without one more episode. The guys deal with the Nolan Arenado talk, wondering if he actually will be a Cardinal in 2025. Should they move him just to free up salary? What happens if he's still with the club come spring? The guys also talk about the youth movement, discussing players that should be in line for a contract extension. Plus they weigh in on the holiday topic of fruitcake, which is obviously

For the first week of November, it was a newsy week for the St. Louis Cardinals. GM meetings will do that, I guess. The Cardinals announced that Willson Contreras was moving to a 1B/DH role as well as his desire to stay in St. Louis. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) discuss the ramifications of this news. What does it mean for the catching position? Will it be more 1B or DH for Contreras? Is this an offshoot of the new focus on development? Sonny Gray is also reported to want to stay--is that a
