Episode 68: Nootbaar's Return

What was originally supposed to be a reader mailbag episode was overwhelmingly and somewhat shortsightedly overtaken by the survey I conducted on Tuesday. So, we instead broke down the performance of the Cardinals' homestand, the return of NOOOOOOOOOOT, Gorman's continued struggles, and what 3rd base looks like moving forward, Jordan Walker continuing to prove this isn't a fluke, and we finish up with a debate centered around USA Today's Bob Nightengale's report of Cardinals pitchers potentially on the move later this summer!

Episode 66: "Ball Talk with the Boys"

This week, the fellas were scheduled to meet with prospect analyst Kyle Reis, but due to last-minute scheduling conflicts, it became a throwback episode with just the three of us talking ball. This week, we covered Bryan Torres exciting debut, Lars Nootbaar's rehab and impending return, Brycen Mautz getting caught in the middle of roster decisions, and the upcoming blooger day event with POBO Chaim Bloom.

Episode 64: Interview with Nate Schwartz

It's all about pitching, pitching, pitching today with our guest from Pitcherlist, Nate Schwartz!
