Are Shohei Ohtani's Dodgers closer to 11th World Series title than Cardinals are to a 12th?

While awaiting the parade's arrival at Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles Times sports columnist Dylan Hernandez veers into nostalgia as he wonders whether the Dodgers' run of success and appetite for more might spur the Cardinals to defend their place in the National League and re-spark one of his favorite rivalries. Hosting a parade in Los Angeles for the first time since 1988 -- COVID restrictions kept one from happening in 2020 -- the Los Angeles Dodgers claimed their eighth World Series championship, their seventh since moving from New York. That ties them with the San Francisco Giants for the second-most titles by a National League club. For 80 years, it has been the Cardinals' brand and their claim to fame that they have the most World Series titles of any National League club, and since 2006, the Cardinals have had the second-most World Series championships in MLB history. Yet, the gap between the Dodgers' eight titles and the Cardinals' cherished 11 feels a lot closer. Post-Dispatch sports columnist Ben Frederickson wrote about the Dodgers' blitz on the Cardinals' history in Friday's newspaper and online at StlToday.com. That same question offers a thread around which Best Podcast in Baseball host and baseball writer Derrick Goold talks with Hernandez about the Dodgers, their formidable team, their outrageous ability to outspend any other team, the innovation machine they have behind the scenes, and the ambitious global superstar at the center of their world, Shohei Ohtani. During the champagne celebration Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium following the Dodgers' clinching victory in Game 5, Ohtani sprayed bubbles in executive Andrew Friedman's face and shouted his intention to win nine more World Series titles. Believe him, Hernandez said. All of this comes just weeks after the Dodgers were on the brink of elimination in the division series. So, how real are the Dodgers' and Ohtani's ambitions to join the Cardinals and Yankees in the double-digit club, and what are the biggest threats to slow them down. Hernandez details how the Dodgers got here, how they intend to stay a contend, and what could undermine everything they've built. He also gives great insight in Ohtani's drive -- and the power of inspiration from comic books. Two former Cardinals, NLCS MVP Tommy Edman and Game 5 starter Jack Flaherty, were key contributors to the Dodgers' championship run, and within Edman's play specifically Hernandez saw something he has derided in the past. He saw what he believes is the Cardinal Way and it gave the Dodgers an edge the Yankees, like the baseball, lost their grip on.  Hernandez also agrees to visit St. Louis and enjoy an excellent meal and walk to a neighborhood comic book shop. Bonus: no traffic. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and baseball writer Derrick Goold.

The meatball factor and super-size problem with Cardinals offense

With apologies to colleague and Post-Dispatch food critic Ian Froeb, we're talking about meatballs in this episode of the Best Podcast in Baseball. Meatballs and super-sizing. Post-Dispatch sports columnist Ben Frederickson joins the Best Podcast in Baseball, and using his column as a map he and Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold explore the truths and falsehoods about the Cardinals' offensive problems. Statement: They're striking out too much. Response: False. Statement: They're swinging a lot. False: They're not swinging enough -- and they're not doing well against meatball pitches, the most delicious pitches to do damage on. Hence, the meatball factor. Statement: They need to stop "worrying" about home runs. Response: False. They need to hit more homers. The Cardinals are last in the majors in home runs and runs off homers, and that is an issue. Plus it goes deeper than just missing meatballs and not driving baseballs through or over the wall. There is the development question. That is where the podcast turns. In a sidebar that super-sizes the episode, Frederickson and Goold discuss on how maybe the focus has been all wrong. While the lens has been trained on the players who got away, the former Cardinals who have gone on to star and slug elsewhere, perhaps it's time to ask why the Cardinals haven't seen the same amplfication of the players they kept. When Tampa Bay acquired Richie Palacios from the Cardinals, the Rays suggested they saw more power in his swing and this season will show how they amplify that. The Cardinals know there is more power in Jordan Walker's swing and more consistent power in Nolan Gorman's swing -- they've seen the latter -- and yet haven't been able to harness that. Walker is back in Class AAA Memphis. Gorman is being passed over for key at-bats. The Cardinals have not been able to scale-up the talent they keep, and that development question is not isolated on the offense. The same can be asked on the pitching side. Where is the amplification? And that leads, finally, to where are the solutions? Which brings us back to Froeb. In his St. Louis 100 rankings of the top restaurants, he has The Gramophone's meatball sub as one of the area's top sandwiches. Maybe it's time to just roll out the feast. Before the Cardinals can crush some meatballs have them crush some meatballs. They've brought an ice cream wagon to spring training. What about a food truck at BP? Gramophone subs all around. And super-size them. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a weekly production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.

The 2023 Cardinals, on their way to 91 losses and a last-place finish, diagnosed the rotation, an inconsistent outfield, and a difficult schedule at the start of the season as reasons for the fist last place finish in more than 30 years. Well, deja vu. The Cardinals near the start of the 2024 regular season with injuries in the rotation, uncertainty in the outfield, and a difficult schedule that begins Thursday at Dodger Stadium. So, did lessons learned from 2023 influence changes to the choise of 2023 or are the Cardinals poised to have the same slow start, the same, familiar failings? St. Louis Post-Dispatch sports columnist Ben Frederickson joins the podcast to discuss what moves the Cardinals can make suggest that they learned from last years. One happened after the recording of this podcast as Sonny Gray, officially, began the season on the 15-day injured list and lefty Zack Thompson took his spot in the rotation. That was not clear at the time of the recording this episode, though what can be excpected of these players was definitely discussed. Frederickson also discusses why the Cardinal believe they are a "tougher" team and how how that might manifest in the decision they make this regular seaosn and the opening series they have at Dodger Stadium.

This is the winter to deal in volume -- most Costco, less Hublot. Frederickson takes over hosting duties for a brand new BPIB featuring Derrick Goold, the usual host and usual Post-Dispatch baseball writer. The two writers discuss the pitching options for the Cardinals, the pitching approaches, and just what Cardinals officials mean when they talk about adding "2 1/2 pitchers." What's a half pitcher? Why is it taking so long for the market to move? Goold offers the view of the Cardinals from the GM Meetings, where the industry noted how motivated the Cardinals and executive John Mozeliak appear to be and how the Cardinals and ownership must still prove they're willing to back that motivation with the finances necessary to be a player in the free-agent marketplace for pitchers.
