Brenden Schaeffer breaks down one of the wildest wins of the season as the Cardinals come from behind to beat the Reds.The sixth inning had a seemingly golden opportunity slip away for St. Louis but it put the wheels in motion for a Lars Nootbaar at-bat in the eighth that would ultimately define the game.The ninth was pretty insane, too, with Riley O'Brien holding on for dear life -- how about that ABS challenge, by the way?!
The Cardinals sweep the Reds in a weekend series in three exciting wins! Lars Nootbaar's return has re-energized the Cardinals' offense.

Aaron Judge will be sidelined indefinitely after undergoing extensive imaging that revealed a right rib stress fracture. Corey Pieper breaks down breaking superstar injury news, high-impact roster replacements, the daily Weekend Planner, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The medical wire is completely fundamentally altering the fantasy baseball universe as Chris Bassitt leaves his last start with severe back structural discomfort, Trevor Story shifts to the 60-day injured list, and Shohei Ohtani plays through a finger blister issue. Fantasy managers finally receive incoming reinforcements with Corey Seager and Lars Nootbaar trackable to return to starting lineups today. Statcast data signals a buying window for Shota Imanaga despite letting up six earned runs, as his horizontal pitch separation metrics remain completely intact. Conversely, investigate Brayan Bello under the hood, where his groundball rate plummeted to an ugly season low during a miserable seven-hit, eight-earned-run implosion. For the Weekend Planner, we chart out the most critical starting pitching streams and schedule adjustments across the league, spotlighting Edward Cabrera clashing against San Francisco and the sudden insertion of Jack Perkins into the rotation.

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. It wasn't quite a great or even dry week, but the Cardinals did win some games and stayed in second in the NL Central. Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about Matthew Liberatore and his attempt to keep pace with Jacob Misiorowski in the Memorial Day game. The guys also discuss the debuts of Brycen Mautz and Bryan Torres as well as the impending return of Lars Nootbaar. Not a bad way to wrap up your holiday weekend!

The Cardinals are 28-19 and there's a shirtless movement happening in right field. Tarps off started as one row of guys on a Friday night, expanded to the entire section by the weekend, and now the Cardinals have officially designated it as a high-energy zone. We dig into what it means, how long it can last, and whether two guys who have admittedly aged out of the tarps off crew can still appreciate it from a distance.Nolan Gorman is having an MVP-level May. His expected wOBA in May is .427, he's leading the team in exit velocity and barrels, and his defense at third has quietly become solid. We talk about whether this version of Gorman is different from the streaks we've seen before, and what it means if the Cardinals actually have their third baseman locked in.Matthew Liberatore had 14 strikeouts over two starts and a 7.45 ERA. That gap between his stuff and his results is the Liberatore experience in a nutshell, and a .536 BABIP might be the explanation. We talk about whether this is just bad luck or the continuation of a real pattern.Plus: Matt Pushard is back with a completely different pitch mix, George Soriano's changeup is reaching Devin Williams territory, Victor Scott's role as a designated speed guy, Lars Nootbaar's rehab is going well, Jimmy Crooks keeps mashing, Nelson Velazquez is dominating Triple-A, Chaim Bloom dropped hints about taking on salary at the deadline, and Busch Stadium officially announced the tarps off section.On the league side: Colt Emerson gets called up and homers in his first game, Pete Crow-Armstrong gets fined for yelling at a White Sox fan, and the Phillies are 16-5 since firing Rob Thomson.Have a question or comment for the show?

Can the Cardinals manage Masyn Winn's new knee issue? The Injury Expert Will Carroll joined the Big Show on Tuesday to discuss Winn, and Lars Nootbaar's rehab. Plus, more Royals pitching injuries and another promising update for Tarik Skubal.
The Cardinals are 24-17 with the fifth best record in baseball. Power rankings have them in the top 10. The playoff odds just passed Cincinnati. So we ask the question: are they actually good, or are we about to get burned again?The offense is legit. The bullpen has stabilized. The defense is elite. And the pitching, somehow, has a 2.62 ERA in May, third best in MLB. Michael McGreevy in particular is doing something fascinating, and Ben breaks down a stat called Location+ that might explain why he keeps outperforming his underlying numbers.Jordan Walker just turned 24 and is a top-20 player in baseball by fWAR, top 10 by offensive WAR alone. JJ Wetherholt is tied with him at 1.8 fWAR to lead the team. We talk about why Walker shouldn't exist at that size and speed, why JJ's power has been the biggest rookie surprise, and the trade deadline question looming over everything.Plus: the Pozo situation has gotten absurd, Lars Nootbaar starts his rehab assignment Friday, George Soriano's slider and changeup are becoming elite, Rainel Rodriguez is climbing prospect lists at 19, Brian Torres has a .453 OBP at Triple-A and deserves a look, and Ben ran the Rockies 5K, puked mid-race, high-fived Dinger, and then had a 9am beer.On the league side: the Guardians traded for Patrick Bailey, the CBA negotiations have started, Bobby Cox passed away at 84, and we debate whether you'd ever vote a reliever for the Cy Young.Have a question or comment for the show?

Tom Ackerman joins the show in Studio C for a wide-ranging sports conversation that opens with updates on Mizzou running back Ahmad Hardy, who is recovering after being shot during an outdoor Mississippi concert incident described as a “melee,” with discussion centered on his recovery outlook and whether he can return to football. The conversation shifts to the St. Louis Cardinals, who fall to the Athletics but remain in the thick of the NL Central race, with analysis of pitching execution, bullpen performance, and upcoming key series against the Royals and Cubs that could shape their season trajectory. Ackerman also covers roster depth and minor league movement, including prospects Jimmy Crooks and Joshua Baez, along with anticipation around Lars Nootbaar's return from injury. The segment expands into St. Louis' growing international soccer footprint, highlighting the Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Panama friendly scheduled for June 6 and the city's large Bosnian community driving local demand, alongside broader sports tourism implications. The discussion closes with PGA Championship storylines, emphasizing elite players and course conditions shaping early tournament play.

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. A series win in San Diego slipped through the Cardinals' fingers, but Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) are still encouraged by the .500 run against Milwaukee and the Padres.

Bloom also shares thoughts on the Cardinals' offensive balance, the competitiveness of the Padres series, and Lars Nootbaar's rehab timeline as the club looks to maintain momentum with a young roster continuing to grow.
Hour 2 of “Sports on a Sunday Morning” begins with Diego Gigliani discussing St. Louis CITY SC earning its first road win of the season, Roman Bürki's clean sheet, and the club's continued focus on improving finishing in the final third. Gigliani also previews the upcoming Bosnia & Herzegovina vs. Panama match at Energizer Park, Edin Džeko returning to St. Louis, and downtown World Cup watch party plans. Then, Chaim Bloom joins the show to break down the Cardinals' recent pitching success, the development of young starters like Michael McGreevy and Kyle Leahy, Riley O'Brien's emergence in the bullpen, and Lars Nootbaar's recovery timeline. Later, Bernie Miklasz discusses the Cardinals' evolving team identity, the pitching staff carrying the club during an offensive slowdown, the Nolan Gorman debate, and why Blaze Jordan is a prospect worth watching moving forward.
The Cardinals have the seventh-best offense in baseball. Ahead of them? Houston, Detroit, Atlanta, LA, New York, and that's about it. We dig into what that means for a team that was supposed to be rebuilding, and why this version of winning feels more sustainable than anything we've seen in the last few years.Jordan Walker now has 35 games of this, and it's the longest and the best he's ever played. The power is real, the walks are climbing, and teams are going to have to start deciding whether to pitch around him. Alec Burleson just won NL Player of the Week, and the top four of Wetherholt, Herrera, Burleson, and Walker is starting to look like something you build around for years.We also recap the annual fishing tournament, where Ben fished for maybe an hour total, almost placed, and then retired for the weekend. Nathan Church and Victor Scott's diverging paths, Nolan Gorman's expected wOBA climbing, the Willson Contreras situation in Boston, Cesar Prieto's call-up, Lars Nootbaar's rehab timeline and where he fits in the lineup, Hunter Dobbins' MLB debut, and the Ramón Urías elbow injury.On the league side: Carlos Correa needs season-ending ankle surgery, Tarik Skubal is out two to three months with loose bodies in his elbow, Garrett Crochet hits the IL with shoulder inflammation, and the Red Sox somehow have five starting pitchers on the IL at once.Have a question or comment for the show?

One of MLB's best pitchers will miss significant time for elbow surgery. The Injury Expert Will Carroll joined the Big Show on Tuesday to discuss Tarik Skubal's procedure, as well as Lars Nootbaar's possible return and Jonathan India's season ending shoulder injury. Plus, what to expect from Patrick Mahomes as he gets set to take part in Chiefs' OTAs.
The 2026 season is officially upon us, and BK & T-Bone are back to break down the Cardinals' home opener. Could JJ Wetherholt have more power than we were originally expecting? Could Victor Scott II steal 60+ bases this season? Could Nathan Church be a surprise find for the Cards? Plus, is there a way for the Cardinals to get you on board with their style of play? What are your intrusive thoughts coming off Opening Day? How does Lars Nootbaar play into the Cardinals' plans this year?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
What do the roster decisions made by the Cardinals ahead of opening day tell fans about their timetable to contend? Probably more than their letting on. The Best Podcast in Baseball returns from spring training and to its weekly format with a preview of the 2026 Cardinals season told through one position and how so many revealing aspects of the team radiate from it. Editor Nathan Mills joins baseball writer and BPIB host Derrick Goold on the even of opening day to discuss the many tendrils that extend from left field -- from the Cardinals' roster choices to the Cadinals' style of offense, from the Cardinals' need for power and plans for Lars Nootbaar to their debut of JJ Wetherholt and what that says about their next window to contend. It all extends from left field. Just in time for the civic holiday known as opening day it's a brand new BPIB. Happy New Year, as we say in the press box. More Post-Dispatch podcasts. Please consider subscribing. In its 14th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes.
