What would the reaction have been if Mozeliak had stepped down before this season? Side of the road ottomans. Would the Dodgers be interested in Helsley and Arenado?

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals loss to the Rockies on Tuesday after Erick Fedde delivered another poor outing. His presence in the rotation was obviously untenable to anyone with eyes in recent weeks. But John Mozeliak kept his closed.What has ensued has effectively taken the wind out of the Cardinals sails. And it has been shameful from start to finish.Follow this podcast feed for Cardinals coverage all year!

In this emergency episode, we dive into the St. Louis Cardinals' roster shake-up as veteran pitcher Erick Fedde is designated for assignment following a brutal sweep at the hands of the Colorado Rockies, the league's worst team.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals nearing the point of no return on their hopes for the 2025 season. Even with lackluster pitching lined up for this week in Denver, anything less than a sweep of the Rockies should signal a full-scale sell-off of the short-term expiring assets.We discuss news of a rotation change with Michael McGreevy pitching Monday, plus share our angst for how John Mozeliak has bungled the past three weeks to turn the Cardinals into de facto sellers.Follow this podcast feed for Cardinals coverage all year!

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 With Major League Baseball's July 31 trade deadline rapidly approaching, the Cardinals are still considering what direction they'll head. The front office has wished for "tough decisions" at the deadline and "excitement," while acknowledging that the way they head may not be clear 72 hours ahead of the deadline, if at all. History suggests they'll explore the nebulous middle -- neither seller nor buyer, adding to patch holes this year and beyond without giving up too much from the future for now. The wild card this season is it's John Mozeliak's last trade deadline as president of baseball operations, and is there one last trick he'd like to pull before yielding his office and desk to Chaim Bloom?  Sports columnist Jeff Gordon joins baseball writer Derrick Goold to discuss the deadline, the All-Star Game's bananas finish, and deliver his midterm grades on every corner of the Cardinals' roster. Did he grade on a curve? Or did he stick to the standards of past years?

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the big rebound performance from Miles Mikolas as the Cardinals beat the Nationals 8-1 at Busch Stadium on Thursday night.

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 After his barehanded play on a slow-rolling grounder ended Tuesday night's game against the Cubs with a stirring, 8-7 Cardinals victory, third baseman Nolan Arenado talked about how much it meant to play meaningful, tense, important games against an archrival. He said he woke up excited, and hadn't been this eager to get to the ballpark in almost two years. A day early, Cubs manager Craig Counsell said he wouldn't be the "hype man" for the series. The oldest rivalry in Major League Baseball between two teams that have not left their cities, Cubs-Cardinals was long defined by one team's brand as champion and the other as lovable losers, but that's so Y2K, man. Now the rivalry happens in cycles, and for the first time in several years the Cardinals and Cubs were snug in the standings when they played this past week at Busch Stadium. Does that give the rivalry renewed verve, or does the change in schedule make it just another division series?  Chicago Tribune baseball writer and Cubs beat writer Meghan Montemurro joins the Best Podcast in Baseball for a conversation at Busch Stadium (listen to that determined A/C) about the current state of the rivalry and if it has the same heat in Chicago that it experienced from the St. Louis side this past week. The pressure is on the Cardinals to chase down the Cubs, and the pressure on the Cubs, with only one guaranteed year of standout player Kyle Tucker, appears to be on winning and advancing in October now.  How should that shape their trade deadline decisions? How can they shape the Cardinals' trade deadline decisions? Cubs president Jed Hoyer is in the final year of his contract, and Cardinals president John Mozeliak is in the final year of his tenure leading the Cardinals' baseball operations. Change is coming, potentially to both teams, adding another twist to the rivalry. Plus, BPIB host Derrick Goold, asks Montemurro about his theory that maybe instead of the National League Central rivals spurring the Cubs to spend like a bigger market it will be their neighborhoods on the South Side as the White Sox welcome in a new investor. A split four-game series at Busch Stadium between the Cardinals and Cubs left nothing settled between the two teams, and the final game of the series (a 3-0 victory and second consecutive shutout by the Cubs) ended with both teams emptying their dugouts to almost confront each on the field. Tempers cooled quickly, but the stage is set for their next week within two weeks for Fourth of July at Wrigley Field. Will there be fireworks?

Born of a small difference in philosophy on Twitter, Brenden Schaeffer and Josh Jacobs jumped into the podcast studio to debate whether the Cardinals should have traded Erick Fedde in the winter.Of course, this comes after a game in which Fedde gave up seven runs and did not get through the fourth inning, so it's going to be tougher for Brenden to defend his stance - the only reason the Cardinals got Fedde in the first place was to have him as a cost-controlled rotation arm in 2025.But Josh thinks John Mozeliak should have been more creative in establishing the rotation plans this year, which could have included a refresh for Fedde's slot while getting what you could for him via trade in the winter or spring.We debate and discuss that and plenty of other Cardinals topics on a special crossover of B-Schaeff Daily and Philosophical Differences (which may be making a comeback!).Follow this podcast feed for daily Cardinals coverage all year long!
