Friday Mar 24, 2023
Friday Mar 24, 2023
This week Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) invites both sides of the Cardinals Off Day podcast, Ben Godar (@bengodar) and Ben Humphries (@b_g_h) to fill in the co-host chair while Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) continues the high school baseball activities. Roster decisions became clearer this week with the injuries to Adam Wainwright and Paul DeJong. How does the rotation look and are there concerns about Waino's return? Who would be the first man up, Dakota Hudson or Matthew Liberatore? Does the order of the rotation matter at all? There's also talk about the middle infield now that DeJong has cleared the way for some other folks on the roster. All that and much more, plus a show announcement, are waiting for you within!

With Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) still molding young minds and improving his players, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) sits down with Richard McGill (@RichardMcGill89) of the Playing Catch podcast.

The Cardinals made a 40-man roster move this week--was it for Jordan Walker and why make it now? The rotation has looked sharp in spring, should we expect that going forward? And how in the world are we expected to know the Opening Day roster? All that and much more!

It's Lars Nootbaar's world and we're all just living in it. The Cardinal outfielder is the biggest thing to hit Japan since a certain kaiju. With Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) still doing the coaching thing, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) teamed up with Nate and Ben from the Talking About Birds podcast (@TalkAboutBirds) to discuss how in the world Nootbaar became the most recognized Cardinal across the globe. The guys also get into everyone's favorite topic, Jordan Walker, as well as the man who has had perhaps the better spring training. Questions about Paul DeJong and Jordan Hicks are answered and there's even time for Nate to bring one of their podcast staples out and host a game show. It's an offbeat hour of great Cardinal conversation!

With Allen's (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) season getting started at Tulsa Hale, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) brings in Ben Cerutti (Birds on the Black, @stlfanbc7) to talk about a full week of spring training. While none of these results should be taken with anything but a grain of salt, there's still a lot of interesting things to talk about. Jordan Walker continues to make a case for starting in St. Louis--can it really happen? Masyn Winn is holding his own at short while Paul DeJong can't get on the field, but does that matter? What about Adam Wainwright's velocity questions? Then the guys dig into Ben's patented projection system and talk about some of the highlights and interesting numbers. Come join the discussion!

Friday Feb 24, 2023
Friday Feb 24, 2023
Seasons are starting, whether it's high school (where Allen, Mr. Red Dirt Redbird and @amedlock1, is at) or professional (at least, the exhibition version). Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) brings in Russ Robinson (Redbird Rants, @frrobinson1957) to talk about goings on in camp on the eve of the Cardinals' first spring training game. Does the fact that Tyler O'Neill wants to play center cause a rift with Dylan Carlson? Can Giovanny Gallegos pitch faster or does he continue to do his impression of Daniel trying to get to a point? Also, is there any chance anyone gets into the Cardinal Hall of Fame this year other than David Freese? Be sure to stick around when Russ throws a whole can of gasoline on the HOF fire!

Friday Feb 03, 2023
It's Episode #300 in Best Dans/MMM history (and the 100th with the current theme song by Some Guy Named Robb) and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) doesn't have Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) but instead gets to chat with Jason Hill (Viva El Birdos, @JPHill_Cards) about Cardinal things. The two spend most of the time using the roster possibilities as the backbone of their conversation. Do we believe in the changes Paul DeJong is making? Is Nolan Gorman a lock for the team? Who makes up the bullpen and is there a way Dakota Hudson isn't on this squad for the opener? All that plus Rolen to the HOF talk and a little discussion of the new broadcaster. It's an oversized episode but it's a good one!
