Mailbag Part One: Where's Carlson Playing and Who Is Stepping Up? Jan 22, 2021

Show notes

You all submitted some great questions for Lucas to answer, the first one being where is Dylan Carlson going to play on opening day? This question has a couple of different layers to it, as maybe the Cardinals make some moves to free up some outfield space. Maybe the DH is in the NL, opening up some playing time. Bottom line, Carlson will be an everyday player in 2021, regardless of what position he's playing. Lucas wraps up the show by giving his prediction on who is going to step up in 2021 to help the offense.

Stove Remains Ice Cold For Cards Jan 20, 2021

Show notes

More free agent signings in the past number of days for teams like the Blue Jays and Los Angeles Angels has Lucas frustrated. The St. Louis Cardinals are yet to make any major-league-level signings or trades as Spring Training draws ever nearer. While this team might be able to compete for a NL Central title in 2021, this team as it stands will have a very tough time in October. Lucas does a rare rant of an episode as he explains his frustration with the Cardinals' front office.

Molina Might Retire While Mike Shannon IS Retiring Jan 18, 2021

Show notes

Two Cardinal legends are in the news this week, one for announcing his retirement and one for announcing he would consider retiring. Cardinal catcher Yadier Molina said he would "consider retirement" if he wasn't given the right offer. Meanwhile, Mike Shannon will stop broadcasting games after this season, his 50th in the Cardinal broadcast booth. Lucas reflects on the two legends, and shares why it might be better for the Cardinals if Yadi retires.

Arbitration Breakdown Jan 15, 2021

Show notes

The St. Louis Cardinals have signed contracts with Alex Reyes and Harrison Bader, avoiding arbitration with both of them. Reyes will get $900,000 while Bader will get $2 million in 2021. The Reyes deal could be a steal if he pitches to his skill level, while the Cardinals are betting on Bader to have a fantastic year. St. Louis also signed No. 47 international prospect Adari Grant. Finally, Lucas discusses what DJ Lemahieu's deal could mean for Kolten Wong.

Locked On Mizzou Crossover Jan 13, 2021

It's a Locked On Crossover as John Miller of Locked On Mizzou joins the show!

They also discuss how baseball might being losing a sense of emotion in the sport. And it wouldn't be a LOC show without some Yadier Molina talk!

Mini Mailbag Tuesday On Peralta and the Slow Central Jan 12, 2021

Show notes

On today's show, Lucas answers YOUR questions! Is David Peralta a good fit for the St. Louis Cardinals? Would he rather trade for Peralta or Andrew Benintendi? And why aren't the Cardinals taking advantage of a weak NL Central? It's also a good thing that the commissioner (yes, Rob Manfred did something good) announced that Spring Training is officially on schedule and there is a 162-game season planned for 2021.

Sean Sears Breaks Down Darvish, Cubs and NL Central (Part Two) Jan 08, 2021

Show notes

In part two of Sean Sears and Lucas' conversation, they talk about the weakened NL Central. With the division looking at a down year, what teams are most capable to take advantage? Does Lorenzo Cain coming back help the Brewers enough? Are the Reds losing too much to remain competitive? Lucas and Sean come to the conclusion that the Cubs and Cardinals might be the favorites to win the division right now.

Sean Sears Breaks Down Darvish, Cubs and NL Central (Part One) Jan 06, 2021

Show notes

In the first part of a two-part release, Sean Sears of Locked On Cubs joins the show to give the Cubs perspective on the Yu Darvish trade. Chicago gave up the Cy-Young runner-up and his personal catcher for a solid start and four "lottery tickets," as Sean likes to call them. The bottom line is that the return was a little weak, and it has Sean worried on what the return for a Kris Bryant or Javier Baez might be.

Spring Training is On Schedule, and Cards in Best Shape to Win Division Jan 04, 2021

Show notes

The first show of 2021 has some good news to share! MLB is reportedly "likely" to start Spring Training and the regular season on time, which is a good thing for the sport. Yes, there will be unforeseen problems come up, but for the league to come out and say this is a huge win for the sport. Also, the Cardinals came in at No. 12 in mlb.com's first power rankings. While this is just middle of the pack, they are the highest-ranked NL Central team and St. Louis is in the best shape to win the division.
