We dive deep into the St. Louis Cardinals' devastating series loss to the Colorado Rockies, a humiliating sweep that has left fans reeling and questioning the future of the Redbirds. We unpack why the Cardinals are hands down the most frustrating team in all of MLB right now. Is John Mozeliak's front office to blame for the roster's inconsistencies? Are the Cardinals' playoff hopes dashed for the 2025 MLB season, or can they rebound in the NL Central against rivals like the Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers, and Cincinnati Reds?
The Sports Experience Podcast with Chris Quinn and Dominic DiTolla
Episode 307 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're back on the diamond discussing Mark McGwire.“Big Mac” made a splash in Major League Baseball after a successful college career at USC.At 6'5” 220 lbs., the enormous first baseman unanimously won the 1987 American League Rookie of the Year when he clubbed a then-rookie record 49 home runs for the Oakland Athletics.Along with his “Bash Brother” partner, Jose Canseco, McGwire helped lead the A's to three straight AL pennants from 1988-1990 and won a World Series in 1989.Though injuries and the 1994 MLB strike prevented McGwire from producing effectively, his final two and a half seasons in Oakland saw him club 125 home runs before he was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals midway through the 1997 campaign.Yet it was 1998 when McGwire was celebrated as the “Savior of Baseball” after the negative fallout from the 1994 strike.McGwire broke Roger Maris' single-season home run record, and finished 1998 with 70 on the season! He hit another 65 in 1999 and hit a combined 61 in 2000 and 2001 before his retirement.Sadly, these records came at a price. McGwire, thought to be a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame as a 12x All-Star with 583 career home runs, was caught up in the scandal surrounding performance enhancing drug use in MLB during the 1990s and 2000s.McGwire eventually admitted he took steroids during a 2010 interview with Bob Costas, and has been left out of Cooperstown like so many of his contemporaries who made the same choice.Watch, Subscribe & Comment on All Platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/the-sports-experience-podcast-with-chris-quinn/id1529622054Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1esgBLz04MZYrTgYMk5DvaConnect with us on Instagram!Chris Quinn: https://www.instagram.com/cquinncomedy/Dominic DiTolla: https://www.instagram.com/ditolladominic/Ty Engle:https://www.instagram.com/ty_englestudio/S.E.P.: https://www.instagram.com/thesportsexperiencepodcast/If you enjoy our podcast, please help support us:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-experience-pod/support#sportspodcast#comedypodcast#markmcgwire#baseball#oaklandathletics#stlouiscardinals#baseballplayer#mlb#baseballhistory

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. The trading deadline has come and gone and neither Daniel (@C70) or David (@iPopEditor) was all that enthused about it. It was fine, but will any of the returns make it to the majors?

Hour 3 kicks off with Marc revisiting the outrageous MAGA hat ejection story, encouraging listeners to catch last hour's interview. Then the focus shifts to a major legal challenge: Bevis Schock, attorney and friend of the show, breaks down the lawsuit challenging Missouri's billion-dollar taxpayer-funded stadium subsidies for the Kansas City Chiefs, Royals, and likely St. Louis Cardinals. Bevis explains why the bill is likely unconstitutional, violating the state's single-subject rule because it bundles unrelated provisions—stadium subsidies, property tax relief, and campaign finance law changes—into one bill to push it through. The clever use of severability clauses may not save it because the issues are procedural, not just substantive. Marc and Bevis also discuss the absurdity of taxpayers effectively paying Patrick Mahomes' salary, arguing that if fans don't show up or watch on TV, government subsidies shouldn't cover these costs. The conversation points to the larger problem of billionaire team owners offloading stadium costs onto the public while profiting immensely. The segment closes with anticipation for Jim Carafano's upcoming analysis on the aid debate between the U.S. President and Israel's Netanyahu concerning Gaza.

The Detroit Tigers snapped another six-game losing streak with a 10-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on July 27, thanks to a three-run home run by Gleyber Torres. The Tigers have lost 12 of their last 14 games, but they still have an eight-game lead in the American League Central.

He believes the Tigers could acquire popular closers David Bednar (Pittsburgh Pirates), Ryan Helsley (St. Louis Cardinals) and Raisel Iglesias (Atlanta Braves), but he also mentions several under-the-radar trade candidates for the Tigers within the next few days.

Show Summary:Host Bill Donohue begines the show by welcoming author Stephen W. Dittmore, who presents his latest work, Jim Gilliam: The Forgotten Dodger. This episode elucidates the life and accomplishments of Jim Gilliam, a pivotal yet underappreciated figure in Dodgers history, who played an integral role in seven World Series and earned four championship rings. Dittmore articulates the reasons behind Gilliam's obscurity in baseball history, despite his significant contributions and statistical prominence. Later, Bill talks with writer and historical consultant Marshall Garvey, who unveils insights from his book, Interstate '85: The Royals, The Cardinals, and the Show-Me World Series. Garvey's narrative weaves together the cultural and sporting tapestry of the 1985 World Series, capturing the essence of a momentous event that resonated far beyond the confines of the baseball field. Together, these discussions offer a profound exploration of baseball's rich history and its enduring impact on American culture.Show Details:The dialogue commences with the esteemed host, Bill Donohue, who warmly welcomes Stephen W. Dittmore, the author of the recently published tome, "Jim Gilliam: The Forgotten Dodger." This text seeks to illuminate the life and career of Jim Gilliam, a pivotal yet oft-overlooked figure in the annals of baseball history. Dittmore elucidates the reasons behind Gilliam's moniker as the 'Forgotten Dodger,' arguing that while he may not be a household name like others from the legendary Brooklyn Dodgers, his contributions to the team are significant. He played an instrumental role in seven World Series and secured four championship titles, yet paradoxically, he remains absent from the discussions surrounding Hall of Fame candidacy. Dittmore's compelling narrative delves into Gilliam's background, tracing his journey from the Negro Leagues to becoming the National League Rookie of the Year in 1953, and highlights his remarkable versatility as a player who excelled in multiple positions. The conversation underscores the need to revisit and reassess the legacies of such players, ensuring that their contributions are duly recognized and celebrated.Following the enlightening discussion with Dittmore, the focus transitions to another literary talent, Marshall Garvey. He introduces his work, "Interstate '85: The Royals, The Cardinals, and the Show-Me World Series," which captures the cultural and historical significance of the 1985 World Series. This narrative intricately weaves together the threads of sports and popular culture, reflecting on how the events of that year transcended mere baseball to encapsulate a unique historical moment. Garvey elaborates on the evocative imagery of Interstate 70, which serves as a metaphor for the journeys undertaken by the players and the intertwined fates of the Kansas City Royals and the St. Louis Cardinals. His book not only recounts the series itself but also delves into the aftermath and the enduring legacy it left on both franchises. The discussion highlights the importance of remembering these historical contexts, as they shape the identities of teams and their cities, making baseball a significant cultural touchstone beyond the game itself.Takeaways: Jim Gilliam, despite his significant contributions to the Dodgers, remains largely unrecognized in baseball history, receiving no Hall of Fame votes. The 1985 World Series, marked by the infamous missed call by umpire Don Denkinger,...
