episode [COMT] The Katie Woo Reunion Tour: Cardinals, Dodgers, Shohei, and Pretzels cover

Description

This week, we are joined by the one and only Katie Woo of The Athletic to preview the highly anticipated Cardinals vs. Dodgers series. After five years on the St. Louis beat, Katie made the jump to Los Angeles, and she joins the crew to break down the massive contrast between these two historic franchises. We dive deep into the "Dynasty vs. Rebuild" debate: Can the Cardinals' new identity of "gritty, exhausting baseball" actually compete with the $700 million "glitz and glams" of the Dodgers? In this episode, we discuss: * The "Hollywood" Life: Katie addresses her transition to LA, her aggressive new driving habits, and why she still misses those Busch Stadium press box pretzels. * Shohei Ohtani & The Dodgers: What it’s actually like to cover the "Beatles of Baseball" and why there’s no ego in the star-studded LA clubhouse. * The Chaim Bloom Era: Katie's perspective on the Cardinals' front office shift and why she believes the "Runway" (we mean, rebuild) is heading in the right direction. * Young Core vs. Veteran Stars: Analysis of Jordan Walker’s growth and the pressure (or lack thereof) on the Cardinals' young roster. * Series Preview: Which pitching matchups to watch and why Katie is leaning "Dodger Stadium" for the views, but "Busch Stadium" for the vibes. Whether you're here for the high-level MLB analysis or the heated debate over the St. Louis Arch vs. the Hollywood Sign, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

Should the Cardinals BUY or SELL? Chaim Bloom’s Deadline Plan & Ranking Trade Candidates

Should the St. Louis Cardinals buy or sell at the 2026 MLB trade deadline? Porque no los dos? On this episode of Cardinals on My Time, host Scott Plaza is joined by Caleb Noble (Hard Nine Podcast), AJ Stone (Just Baseball Media), and Matthew Blaker to tackle the messiest trade deadline in recent memory. The guys dive deep into the recent front-office transition to Bill DeWitt III, Chaim Bloom's telling press conference comments, and whether "just getting into the postseason" is enough for this young core. Then, they play a high-stakes game of "Confidence Out of 10" on which players are good as gone by late July. On the chopping block: * Will the Cardinals capitalize on Dustin May's insane trade value? * Is it time to pull the trigger on a Lars Nootbaar or Nolan Gorman trade? * Why Andre Pallante might be the ultimate "sell-high" candidate. * Plus, surprise targets like Royce Lewis and the future of the "Tarps Off" fan section at Busch Stadium.

The St. Louis Cardinals are officially entering the 100-game countdown, and the vibes around Busch Stadium are shifting fast! In this episode of Cardinals on My Time, Scott Plaza is joined by the undisputed king of Cardinals Twitter vibes, Jandy (@JandySTL). We break down the electric 10-run comeback against the Cincinnati Reds, the massive return of Lars Nootbaar ("Unk") to the lineup, and whether his presence transforms the clubhouse culture.

We also dive deep into Jordan Walker’s incredible 180-degree turnaround, JJ Wetherholt's Rookie of the Year trajectory, and why keeping the petty rivalry alive with Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Chicago Cubs is essential for the fan base. 👉 SUBSCRIBE for more St. Louis Cardinals news, rumors, and post-game analysis! 👉 Follow Jandy on X: @JandySTL Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro & The "Tarps Off" Experience 2:00 - Cardinals Twitter Culture & Hating the Cubs 7:30 - The 100-Game Countdown: Resetting Expectations 11:15 - Lars Nootbaar's Return & The Trade Deadline Dilemma 18:00 - Fixing the Pitching Staff: Dustin May, Leahy, & McGreevy 21:30 - Dream Deadline: Retool vs. Tearing It Down 24:00 - What Makes a "Successful" 2026 Season? 27:00 - Lockout Fears & Final Good Vibes

81. Have the Cardinals Changed Expectations? (feat. Bernie Miklasz)

Welcome back to the Redbird Rundown!  Jonathan and Scott are joined by the one and only Bernie Miklasz to ask an important big-picture question: have the Cardinals actually changed expectations for what this season can be?  And as we look ahead to the upcoming stretch of games, what will it really tell us about where this team stands in the NL Central? We’re digging into performance, perception, and reality—and trying to separate what’s sustainable from what still needs to prove itself. —————————————————————————————————— 📲 Join our Discord gameday chats!
