Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast

Daniel Shoptaw and Allen Medlock

"Meet me at Musial" is a trademark of St. Louis, where the Musial statue is a rallying point. Every week, two far-flung fans virtually "meet at Musial" to go over the latest in Cardinal news and discussion. Daniel Shoptaw (@C70, from Arkansas) and Allen Medlock (@amedlock1, Oklahoma) prove that great Cardinal talk can come anywhere in Cardinal Nation when you meet up to discuss your favorite team.

It's a special show this week as Daniel (@C70) welcomes in St. Louis legend Bernie Miklasz (@b_miklasz) to the show for the first time with Allen (@amedlock1) unavoidably detained with AD duties. The guys talk about Bernie's embrace of podcasting as well as writing and how his radio background informs his approach. Then they tackle the cold Cardinal winter, weaving in recent Cardinal history as they look at the problems of the team before wrapping up by discussing some of the current players on

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

Season 11 of the show starts off the way many of them have, with Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) breaking things down with Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat. In a wide-ranging conversation, the guys talk about why 2024 seems to feel just as bad as 2023 even though it wasn't, what things may look like with or without Nolan Arenado, Jeff's guess for a free agent signing, and thoughts about the younger players. Plus they discuss whether John Mozeliak is getting a little less guarded in

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

After an enjoyable holiday break, Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are back at it again, even if there isn't just a lot of Cardinal news to break down. There have been some front office hires since the last show. What does where they came from tell us about the approach of the front office? There's also been some buzz around Nolan Arenado and Ryan Helsley, but not in the way we initially thought. Will they both be back next year?

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

The calendar (if not the weather) has flipped to November and another baseball season is fully behind us with the crowning of a new World Series Champion. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) spend a little time on the Series before diving into the Cardinals news of the week, the declining of options. Lance Lynn, Kyle Gibson, and Keynan Middleton all enter the free agent market. Is that a surprise? Does it tell us anything? What are we to make, if anything, from the waiver claim of Roddery Munoz

For the fact they aren't playing, it was kind of a busy week for the St. Louis Cardinals. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are here to talk about the new additions after first talking about last night's Game 1 of the World Series. Jon Jay and Brant Brown are new coaches while Willie McGee shifts to an advisor role. Is it a good thing Jay is returning or does it go to the insular nature the club is supposed to be breaking free from? What role does Skip Schmaker play in all this? Will Rob Cerfolio

Call us C-3PO because we're telling you the odds. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) kick off what might be a fairly quiet winter by talking about their impressions of what the Cardinals are going to do. Is "reset" truly the right word? Can the Cardinals have a similar record next year? How much would our impressions of things change if Ryan Helsley had been healthy in the 2022 postseason? Then they get into the percentages--how likely is it that people like Helsley, Sonny Gray, and Nolan Arenado

Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) walk through their thoughts about the big end of season press conference. Is "reset" really the wrong word to use? Are we sure the Cardinals won't be competitive next year? Will any of the big contracts hang around? All of that, discussions about the dismissal of Turner Ward and the potential of a change in

From all indications, a change is going to come and perhaps as soon as Monday we'll find out more about it.

With the loss on Friday night, the Cardinals clinched something that has become all too common in St. Louis--no October baseball. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) use that fact as a jumping off point for a good conversation. What sort of changes can and will come this winter? What sort of signs should we look for that things are not business as usual? Could Oli Marmol stay or does he have to go regardless of whether he deserves it? Should the Cardinals retrench or reboot for 2025? All this and

The Cardinals dropped the first two in Toronto and have fallen back to .500. Will they finish the year on the positive side of the ledger? What kind of changes should be made and do the DeWitts care about the luster that is being lost from the organization? Should we treat all hitters that succeed elsewhere the same? What do you do

It's more fun to talk about winning baseball than losing baseball, but at this point in the season it's hard for Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) to think it means much more than window dressing. The guys talk about the week that was while also talking about changes that are coming.

In a week when the Cardinals kinda undid their trade deadline, Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) get together to talk about what happened and what's next. Could this team be more interesting in September now that the trifecta of Jordan Walker, Masyn Winn, and Victor Scott II are set to play every day? (Or will Michael Siani throw a wrench in that?)

Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman are back in Memphis. How surprising were those moves? What does the future hold for Paul Goldschmidt? Should next season be about "letting the kids play"?

Joining him on this show to talk about the system are Adam Akbani (@AdamAkbani) and Blake Newberry (@bt_newberry) from Viva El Birdos, Kareen (@KareemSSN) from Redbird Rants, and the legend that is Kyle Reis (@kyler416).

What a busy week for the St. Louis Cardinals. John Mozeliak and company were busy up to the deadline on Tuesday afternoon, making two trades with different motivations. The front office made the deal of the deadline with the White Sox and Dodgers, then parted ways with Dylan Carlson in a move that maybe they didn't have to make. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about both deals in depth. How surprising was it that Tommy Pham returned? What concerns are there with Erick Fedde? Will the

Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) try to sort through it all, talking about Sonny Gray's stumbles over the last month (and his slightly cryptic and very unspecific interview after the game). What is this team, now that it is 1 1/2 games out of the playoff race? Can they turn it around? Will reinforcements be coming at the trade deadline? Players are already being dealt--does that impact John Mozeliak's
