If you only ever watched the Cubs play the Cardinals, you would be certain Michael Busch was destined for the inner circle of the Hall of Fame. 3-1 Cubs in the fifth.

For your watching and listening purposes, expect a press conference with John Mozeliak at noon on Monday and one with Chaim Bloom and ownership at 10 AM on Tuesday. I’m told BSMW will be carrying Tuesday’s live.

Hard to believe we're here but it's the end of the 2025 season. @amedlock1.bsky.social and I talk about the past week but more about what is to come this winter. And @remembirds.bsky.social is back with some great stuff about Bob Forsch! cms.megaphone.fm/channel/RRTE...

It's my fault this slipped through the cracks but the last #cardsix is up! Appreciate all those #stlcards fans that have played this season! forms.gle/QnRHmi39nbcD...

I'm not sure I have another winter of Nolan Arenado Trade Discourse in me, tbh 99 wRC+ last three seasons, he'll be 35 best fits are probably, like, Pirates or A's or Angels or Nats. but if he's not going to a team that isn't a better bet than STL, it's .. Tigers? *maybe?*

CB Bucknor missed the last two calls of the Braves-Nationals game today but luckily we have instant replay.

A reminder for #stlcards fans, our Who Stays, Who Goes? contest closes a week from today. Here's the link if you want to participate! forms.gle/MDAkkmTHYenq...

We've reached some endings for the #stlcards with a few more left to come. David and I talked about what a rebuild would look like and how we can survive it on this week's Gateway! gatewaytbh.podbean.com/e/gtbh-92125...

I did some #stlcards writing for the first time in a while. Check it out if you are so inclined. open.substack.com/pub/cardinal...

As she does, @katiejwoo.bsky.social bringing @amedlock1.bsky.social and I plenty to talk about this week as she writes about a long-term rebuild. What does that look like? How are things going to change? When will we hear from Chaim Bloom? All that and more! cms.megaphone.fm/channel/RRTE...

The #cardsix scoreboard is updated, with @bookowl.bsky.social slipping back into third. If you want to see if you can beat him this weekend, the Milwaukee game is now posted! forms.gle/wBzdjZorkex1... #stlcards

Enjoyed being on with Ben here, even if he had no idea of players that weren't actively playing.

Over on X folks requested an offseason game that would track the activity of the #stlcards. So I present "Who Stays, Who Goes?" Tell me if a player is staying or going and put some points on it. Winner gets bragging rights! forms.gle/LQ7aL9sz7ZDQ...

#cardsix scoreboard is updated. @bookowl.bsky.social has slipped but is still right there with four games remaining. Speaking of, we've got a Cincy one ready for you! t.co/8AucxHbhyj

Another week, another show. David and I tackle what the pitching may need for next year and wonder just how long it will be until the #stlcards are back in contention. Another Gateway for your listening ears! gatewaytbh.podbean.com/e/gtbh-91425...

Should you need something to distract you from the game, @amedlock1.bsky.social and I have another Musial out for your listening pleasure. Will we re-evaluate Mo in a couple of years? Can we call it yet on Masyn Winn's season? That and much more! cms.megaphone.fm/channel/RRTE...

Running late, but here's the #cardsix for the #stlcards and Milwaukee series. Enjoy! forms.gle/pi66yNofW5Ti...

After the #stlcards get done in Seattle, come listen to David and I in a new Gateway! (OK, it can wait until tomorrow.) gatewaytbh.podbean.com/e/gtbh-9825-...

For those still paying attention, the #cardsix for the Mariners series is live! forms.gle/LNZFU8Zb81Df...

Another #stlcards week in the books and @amedlock1.bsky.social and I are here to talk about it. Did the Cards throw Jordan Walker under the bus? Will we see Brendan Donovan again this year? All that and more! cms.megaphone.fm/channel/RRTE...

Oli Marmol: I know what we’re going to do tomorrow.

The #cardsix scoreboard is updated and @bookowl.bsky.social is still in the hunt. (Good to see @ctheobarker.bsky.social back this time as well!) The San Francisco one is now up! Get those entries in! forms.gle/Z2mA9Vxz1u89...

Cardinals activated Victor Scott II and recalled Chris Roycroft to fill out their roster to 28.

Another month of #stlcards baseball in the books. Is there anything to watch for in September? David and I talk some about that as well as this week's callups and the lack of offense on the team. Come give it a listen! gatewaytbh.podbean.com/e/gtbh-83125...

Early start tomorrow so I've thrown up a #cardsix for the #stlcards /Sacramento matchup. Get those picks in! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Fall might (might!) be coming, but we're still talking the summer of #stlcards. @amedlock1.bsky.social and I get into some rebuild talk and then tackle the promotions while @remembirds.bsky.social speaks on the Willie McGee trade. Come give it a listen! cms.megaphone.fm/channel/RRTE...

They did not score the rest of the game. Obviously the economic system’s fault.

The #cardsix scoreboard is updated through the Pirates series, but I don't think @bookowl.bsky.social wants to see how that went for him.

Afternoon game to finish with the Pirates but then the #stlcards head to Cincinnati for three. The #cardsix for the weekend is open and ready for entries! forms.gle/9qAU6wZEHktB...

The #stlcards are still playing so David and I are still talking about them, even if the frustration and the mediocrity continues to rise. With that kind of intro, how could you not listen? gatewaytbh.podbean.com/e/gtbh-82425...

Got the #cardsix updated. @bookowl.bsky.social slipped back and is going to have to put in the work over the last 10 games. That starts with the Pittsburgh series, which is up for entries now! t.co/T8tarJIJLi

Spent some time on a #stlcards off day (not @cardinalsoffday.bsky.social, they haven't dropped that low yet) tracing the history of Miles Mikolas as a Cardinal. open.substack.com/pub/cardinal...

It's Saturday with no #stlcards so you have plenty of time to listen to @amedlock1.bsky.social and I talk about whether the Cards are too attached to their hitters and what they should do about the rotation and then @remembirds.bsky.social drops some Brummer love. cms.megaphone.fm/channel/RRTE...

Fedde out here doing what he does.

🎙️ Just published a new episode of Talking About Birds: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast: Respondle . Have a listen:

#cardsix scoreboard has been updated. @bookowl.bsky.social keeps cutting into the lead!

@cardinalsoffday.bsky.social Listening to the last show and your comments about you might have come off harsh on Tommy Edman. I think that's a fair statement, as I often wondered exactly when Mr. Edman had run over Mr. Humphries's dog.

13 years ago, MLB tested out the idea of allowing both teams to pick one time in each game where their batter could swing an invisible bat and pretend to hit what would count as a real home run. Some people loved it but most thought it was really stupid.

The #stlcards finish up with Miami tonight but they won't be done with Florida. The Tampa Bay #cardsix is now open for entries! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

A tough week for the #stlcards but David and I plugged along and did a show anyway. I don't know if it'll make you feel any better. gatewaytbh.podbean.com/e/gtbh-81725...

The #cardsix scoreboard has been updated. @bookowl.bsky.social has moved back into second as the stretch run really fires off. Also, the Miami #cardsix is now open for business! forms.gle/b9CHdWJLTPy4...

We've got a Saturday pod coming up later this week. What questions do you have for us? Drop them in the replies or DM us. #STLCards

Looking at the schedule for the important things, I see the @cardinalsoffday.bsky.social folks have an irregular Saturday show coming up before churning out one every Thursday until the end of the season. Hope @bengodar.bsky.social and @bgh.bsky.social can handle talking about this team that much!

@jmjones.bsky.social I thought Munoz was at the limit of being optioned for the year. Is this his fifth?

Never good when you lose a series to the Rockies. @amedlock1.bsky.social and I are here to talk about what the last week of #stlcards baseball was like and @remembirds.bsky.social is here to talk about Gibby's no-hitter! cms.megaphone.fm/channel/RRTE...

#cardsix scoreboard is updated with @bookowl.bsky.social slipping into third. He (and you) can pile up some points if you play the Yankees series, which is now available! forms.gle/f8GANCH648oN...

The Brewers are just the 2nd team in the history of the NL Central to have 2 winning streaks of 10+ games in the same season. The other was the 2001 Cardinals, featuring a rookie 3B-1B-outfielder named Albert Pujols. Pretty good utility guy!

While you are still in the afterglow of a #stlcards win, why not take some time to look forward at the next series? The Colorado #cardsix is now open for entries! forms.gle/87rSYNSkLoXf...

Recording during a #stlcards / Cubs game might not have been the wisest thing, but it didn't seem to blow up on David and myself. Check out a new Gateway after tonight's game wraps! gatewaytbh.podbean.com/e/gtbh-81025...

Even in a good year, Yadi in the dugout makes news. @amedlock1.bsky.social and I break that down along with some of the other events of the week on this week's show! cms.megaphone.fm/channel/RRTE...
