TMA (8-1-25) Hour 1 - To Market, To Market Aug 01, 2025

Show notes

(00:00-22:00) Doug got home late from the Luke Bryan concert and can't get his computer to work. Tim is protesting his bet with Jackson. Quiet deadline for the Cardinals. No trades outside of Helsey, Matz, and Maton. Zoom call with Mozeliak yesterday. Cardinals have been asking for patience for quite a while. No tending to the starting rotation. Not really sure what the plan is.

(22:00-36:30) Looks like the Tamm Ave. Capital Partners and Jackson are going to court. Audio of John Mozeliak talking about the trade deadline goals and feeling like they accomplished them. Half in-half out.

(36:40-54:14) Anger and apathy at a fever pitch. Not expecting a ton of activity this coming offseason. Jackson almost forgot that it's name change day. We've got a one-game E-Mail Off in the EMOTD today. Is Swope like Omar? Little Dutch Boy is on the phone lines. What's going on with play development?

Show notes

(00:00-9:34) Padres always aggressive at the deadline under A.J. Preller. Is Shildt still on the hot seat in San Diego? Will the Cardinals make a move at manager? Franchise needs some sizzle back. Doug doesn't think Molina will be a manager. Some coaches are built for rebuilds.

(9:42-18:37) The well was full but now it's dry. Perfect song for the movie on the 2025 Cardinals. The forward tees. The A's getting quite the return for Miller and Sears. Catching fly balls with two hands. Jackson's duffed hybrid.

TMA (7-31-25) Hour 3 - Surprise Guest Line Jul 31, 2025

Show notes

(00:00-38:08) Time to go to the surprise guest line. It's not a drunken So Taguchi. It's Bob Costas! Story time with Bob. Bob watching Doug chop it up with Frank Cusumano. How he got his break in broadcasting. His one-game contract for $500 in Green Bay. Broadcasting Mizzou Basketball. Bob's take on the state of the Cardinals. Paul Lind and Hollywood Squares.

(38:16-51:39) Tim and Doug were nowhere near guessing Bob Costas. The voice really threw us off the scent. Polarizing comments from Costas. The text inbox seems to be a 50/50 split. They used to tell Doug he had to tweet 10x/day. This is so weird but I love it.

(51:49-59:00) A's sending star closer Mason Miller to the Padres. Will we see a big move before the 5:00 deadline? Jackson is still not taking Tim's buyout offer. Arenado may go if he can work around this Auntie Anne's thing. What about John King? The victim business.

(15:23-28:54) Will Nolan Arenado be with the Cardinals at 5:01? Martin spaced out there for a second. Sell everything that's not nailed down. Martin needs to close some tabs.

TMA (7-31-25) Hour 1 - Trade Deadline Day Jul 31, 2025

Show notes

(00:00-25:44) It's trade deadline day and we're your world headquarters for the next four hours. Matz and Helsley gone. Is 'Nado next? Suarez to the Mariners could expedite an Arenado move. How you gonna look Blaze Jordan in the eye and tell him he's not Yungry. Nice haircut, Doug. Tim offers Jackson a buyout on their bet. No dice. Last day to apply to be the Listener of the Month for July '25.

(25:53-44:42) Deadline ditties. Doug's straw manning again. Do you get soppins for your pretzel, boy? Audio of Oli Marmol talking about Wilson Contreras wanting to stay in St. Louis. You can get cheap Cards/Cubs tickets right now. Welcome home, Blaze Jordan.

(44:52-52:33) See, Doug, series wins matter. Surprise guest at 9:00. What do you know about Blaze, Doug? Chaim Bloom's fingerprints on some of these moves. Would you rather have more Baez or catchers?

Show notes

(00:00-9:07) California Love, was it '95 or '96. Yankees acquiring Austin Slater from CWS. Games behind doesn't mean the same thing as it did years ago. Hug watch in Minnesota last night had people in a tizzy.
