Pujols Impress in HR Derby, ASG Next (+Will Soto Be A Cardinal? Jul 19, 2022

Show notes

Albert Pujols advanced out of the first round of his final Home Run Derby, falling to the eventual champion Juan Soto in the semifinals. His one-minute swing-off was arguably the best minute of the Derby. What was made clear was the amount of respect and admiration the rest of the league has for him.

We hope he gets his moment tonight in the All-Star Game as well. It remains to be seen how he, Miles Mikolas or Ryan Helsley will be used off the bench/out of the bullpen tonight. Will the Cardinals show out in LA?

Also, the Cardinals have some pretty decent odds to land the Juan Soto sweepstakes if he's traded in season (No, Really).

HR Derby Preview, What to Expect From The Machine Jul 18, 2022

Show notes

The Machine is appearing in his final Home Run Derby tonight. While Albert Pujols is the oldest competitor with the least amount of home runs this season, he can still put on a show for the fans. He's facing off with Kyle Schwarber in the first round, so it will not be an easy feat. JD and Lucas share their thoughts on what to expect from Pujols.

Despite game three being postponed, the Cardinals dominated over the weekend. We saw Paul Goldschmidt hit his 300th career home run, Tommy Edman prove he's a catalyst for this offense and the offense as a hole take advantage of the Reds' bullpen.

Also, the MLB draft is this week and the Cardinals already have a theme going with they're first few picks.

Cardinals Shut Out in Finale, Reds in Town Before All-Star Break Jul 15, 2022

Show notes

The St. Louis Cardinals were shutout in the finale against the LA Dodgers. While the Dodgers are one of the best teams in the NL, this is definitely a series that got away from the Cardinals. After a 7-6 win, they preceded to blow a 6-0 lead before getting shut-out on Thursday.

The good news is the Reds are coming to town. The bad news is the Reds have been playing awfully good baseball for the last week. With three rookies scheduled to pitch for Cincinnati, the key for the Cardinals is to get to the bullpen.

Offense Shines, Bullpen Fails in Loss to Dodgers Jul 14, 2022

Show notes

The St. Louis Cardinals had a win slip from their fingertips last night in a 7-6 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Leading 6-0 in the 7th, the Cardinal bullpen surrendered 7 runs in the final three frames. Was this a cause of bad management, bad bullpen formation or players underperforming? How about a combination of all three.

That said, the offense was wonderful last night, getting contributions up and down the lineup. Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado mashed early, but you also saw Andrew Knizner step up. What will his role be when Yadier Molina comes back?

Tonight's game is an extremely tall task with an already depleted bullpen, Dakota Hudson on the mound and a good starter for the Dodgers. How can the Cardinals get the job done?

Did the Opener Actually Work Yesterday? Jul 13, 2022

Show notes

Despite a Los Angeles Dodger comeback, the St. Louis Cardinals prevailed victorious yesterday by the final of 7-6. Jordan Hicks was used as the opener, who gave way to Johan Oviedo, then scheduled starter Matthew Liberatore came in the game in the fourth inning. St. Louis won, does this make that move a successful one? Should the Cardinals implement this strategy again? What was the reasoning behind it?

Also, a happy birthday shoutout to Yadier Molina. He could be returning around the trade deadline and despite what his offensive production has been in 2022, that should be a positive for a team searching for their leader.

Packy Naughton gets out of an unimaginable jam to save the game yesterday, earning more trust from Marmol and company. Finally, a tall task for Adam Wainwright and the Cardinals tonight, how do they win? Waino's the key.

Pujols to the HR Derby + Bottom of the Lineup Stepped Up Last Night Jul 12, 2022

Show notes

Albert Pujols has been named to the Home Run Derby team, one of four participants in the NL. This is his fifth appearance in the Derby, and will be his last. Can he go out on top?

The bottom of the St. Louis Cardinals lineup was a key in the Cardinals win over the Phillies. After JD and Lucas questioned the likes of Edmundo Sosa, Corey Dickerson and Lars Nootbaar, they all produced key RBI's in the win. Who else should the two question in order to get them to produce?

This week's series against the LA Dodgers will not be an easy one. While not facing Kershaw or Urias, the pitching this weekend is still daunting. To finish the show, JD and Lucas discuss a weird rumor that the Cardinals are involved in.

Pujols Ignites the Offense, Plus 4 Cards Are All-Stars Jul 11, 2022

Show notes

Four Cardinals were named to the NL All-Star Team over the weekend. Albert Pujols (Legacy), Paul Goldschmidt (Starter), Nolan Arenado (Reserve), and Ryan Helsley (Bullpen) will all represent St. Louis in LA next week at the mid-summer classic. Was there a Cardinal that was not named, but should have been?

Also, Pujols hit a home run in a Cardinal win as the offense came back to life, even if only for one game. While Pujols provided the homer, the offense mainly relied on small-ball Sunday to win. The Cardinals now go for a series split tonight against the Phillies, but have a tall task in facing off against Aaron Nola.

Dylan Carlson Saves Cards From Sweep, Phillies Up Next (Again) Jul 08, 2022

Show notes

Dylan Carlson helped the Cardinals with his bat, his glove, and his arm yesterday as St. Louis avoided the sweep, It was an all-hands-on-deck night for the bullpen, but they held it together and only surrendered two runs in the extra-inning win. Carlson getting hot is huge for this team, as is the possible return of Tyler O'Neill this weekend. The Cardinals will look for better fortunes against the Phillies this weekend. Pitching this weekend provides some fun matchups, such as Wheeler/Wainwright and Nola/Mikolas!

Also, vote for Goldenado for the All-Star game! Today's show concludes with an announcement from Lucas.

Cardinal Offense is Sputtering, and What Was Mikolas Upset With Last Night? Jul 07, 2022

Show notes

The St. Louis Cardinals are in danger of getting swept by the Atlanta Braves. While the Braves are a good team with solid pitching, the lack of offense from the Cardinals is starting to be a concern. They aren't hitting with RISP and they're stranding too many runners on. Can Tyler O'Neil's and Harrison Bader's return help this team enough?

Miles Mikolas was not as sharp as he's been, and he said he was frustrated with the Braves' hitters for getting time granted so late. Is his grievance justified?

Also, injury updates on O'Neill, Dickerson, Matz and more!

Should MLB Send Albert Pujols to the All-Star Game? (Yes) Jul 06, 2022

Show notes

It's been reported that the commissioner now has the right to send someone to the All-Star game in recognition of their career accomplishments. Few people in the NL deserve it like Cardinals' legend Albert Pujols. It would be a return to LA, an opportunity for the nation to say goodbye to a legend and a chance for a memorable All-Star moment. JD and Lucas both wholeheartedly agree Rob Manfred should make this happen.

Also, this team still (desperately) needs pitching. This is being made more evident by a report that Steven Matz's rehab start could become a MLB start against Atlanta on Thursday.
