The pitching staff continues to struggle—Pallante's arsenal lacks effectiveness, Leahy isn't generating strikeouts, and Mikolas's fastball ranks among the worst in MLB. Offensively, Nolan Arenado is slumping, raising questions about rest versus defensive value, while Masyn Winn and Alec Burleson help keep the team afloat. The episode also previews upcoming series against the Dodgers and Blue Jays, and covers league news including injuries to Corbin Burnes and AJ Smith-Shawver, the Royals promoting Jac Caglianone, and troubling reports about threats made against Lance McCullers.Have a question or comment for the show?

Bernie Miklasz joins Tom Ackerman to break down the Cardinals' impressive May run—featuring the best record in baseball—and their latest 2-0 win over the Texas Rangers. They examine the leadership of Nolan Arenado, the commitment of Sonny Gray and Wilson Contreras, and how injuries like Jordan Walker's are opening up opportunities for players like Nolan Gorman and Lars Burleson. Miklasz makes a compelling case in defense of manager Oli Marmol, comparing his early success to Tony La Russa's first four seasons. Despite La Russa's legendary status, Marmol currently holds a better winning percentage, all while working with fewer organizational resources. Bernie highlights the context behind those numbers, praising Marmol's ability to maximize his roster.

Tom Ackerman talks with John Mozeliak about the Cardinals' recent progress and direction. They highlight Sonny Gray's standout performances, leadership, and mentorship of younger pitchers. Mozeliak emphasizes the commitment of veterans like Gray and Wilson Contreras while addressing the development of younger talent amid challenges like Jordan Walker's injury. The conversation includes praise for manager Oli Marmol's leadership and strategic decisions, as well as recent roster moves including the call-up of Valdez and the reassignment of Gordon Graceffo. Mozeliak outlines the team's current position in the standings and explains the focus on growth, adaptability, and long-term strategy.

In Hour 1, Tom Ackerman recaps the Cardinals' strong May performance, featuring dominant pitching from Sonny Gray and a key series win over the Rangers. Bernie Miklasz joins to compare Oliver Marmol's early managerial years with Tony La Russa's start in St. Louis, while highlighting Nolan Arenado's leadership. Indy 500 champion Alex Palou talks about making history as the first Spanish driver to win the race and previews his upcoming appearance at Worldwide Technology Raceway. Cardinals President John Mozeliak closes the hour with insight on Sonny Gray and Wilson Contreras' leadership, Jordan Walker's injury, and recent roster moves including player development strategies moving forward.

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 A big, defining topic for the Cardinals' future and their development of a big, defining hitter needs a jumbo-sized Best Podcast in Baseball. For more than a decade, the Cardinals have had to go shopping for their middle-order hitters -- either by trade (Paul Goldcshmidt, Nolan Arenado, Marcell Ozuna) or, rarely, by free agency (Carlos Beltran, Willson Contreras) -- but during this "reset" year where offense has been a major part of their success, the Cardinals seem closer to having homegrown hitters in the middle of the order to build around. Brendan Donovan, currently hitting No. 3, leads the league in doubles and hits. Candidates to climb up to cleanup include Ivan Herrera. There is the catch. Herrera's bright future as a hitter seems clear. Less so, is where he fits at catcher. Kevin Wheeler, host at KMOX/104.1 FM, joins the Best Podcast in Baseball to discuss all of the ramifications of this question: Can the Cardinals develop the middle of the order for a contending team? It's a question thick with implications. With St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold, Wheeler discusses Herrera's fit as a potential cleanup hitter, what it means that the Cardinals have an advancing group of catching talents in the minors, and whether Herrera needs to be flanked by a fellow prospect for the Cardinals to have a strong lineup. The cost of surefire middle-order hitters is only going up, and increasingly all teams need both lightning and thunder to come from within the house. This BPIB discusses whether the Cardinals need to have Jordan Walker and/or Nolan Gorman join the middle of the order for their development summer to be a success, and where Alec Buleson, JJ Wetherholt, Lars Nootbaar, and Masyn Winn best fit into the lineup of the future. The Cardinals, with 10 different players who have at least 15 RBIs, are cranking out the hits this season and they've won 18 of their past 23 because of the depth of their lineup. Is that what the future holds as well -- not one or two hitters that are the fulcrum of the lineup but a depth that goes all the way to the speed at the bottom? The answer could be the key whether the Cardinals contend in the years they're looking toward as well. 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.

BT joins the show to discuss Matthew Liberatore's continued success, discuss if Donovan and Winn are the face of the Cardinals franchise, and talks about Jordan Walker's recent stretch of success.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals coming from behind to win over the Orioles on Tuesday night in Baltimore.Lars Nootbaar put together a big day including a home run to help push the Cards out to a lead, and Andre Pallante was rolling along to maintain it -- until he wasn't.A 3-run homer for Baltimore meant the Cardinals had to find a way to come from behind. Nolan Gorman was tasked with a key spot against a lefty in the sixth inning, but was unable to tie the game, somewhat predictably. Brenden explains why Oli Marmol was anything but blind to that moment -- we have to see the bigger picture in 2025.Rest assured, later swings by Masyn Winn and Nolan Arenado put the Cardinals back ahead. And then lo and behold, we saw the 'runway' crew Gorman and Jordan Walker go back-to-back triples to help pad the newly-found lead.A lot to like about this one from the Cardinals perspective.Follow this podcast feed for daily Cardinals coverage all year!

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals win on Saturday over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Busch Stadium.Matthew Liberatore has been remarkable and was again on Saturday. But some defensive mishaps caused a solid lead to disappear as Jordan Walker and Brendan Donovan had some unfortunate moments in the field.But for Jordan Walker to be the reason the Cardinals brought it back with his clutch swing to regain the lead, that's pure serendipity. Ryan Helsley on a back-to-back is often a little nerve-wracking but great defense by Nolan Arenado and Alec Burleson in the ninth helped guide Helsley to a key... win? Why not a save?

As the discussion unfolds, they ponder the implications of recent player performances – yes, you, Jordan Walker – and speculate on the trade deadline strategies for both teams."Ron's Soccer Minute" returns, with Ron lamenting City's recent struggles in MLS, highlighted by their recent disappointing performances.

Chris Welsh joins and Eno and DVR to discuss several long-term risers and fallers as the first month of the season winds down. Is an uptick in production just around the corner for Jordan Walker as he continues to show elite bat speed? Is this the last chance to make a deal for Dylan Crews and Jordan Lawlar before everything clicks? Should you lower the ceiling expectations for Anthony Volpe? And, has Victor Scott shown enough to have an extended window as the Cardinals' primary center fielder?
