The Cardinals are 31-28 after a rough stretch, but the underlying talent keeps ascending.

Abner Uribe struck out Alec Burleson, hit the DX “suck it” toward the Cardinals dugout while up six runs, and nearly got overturned by ABS. The lack of awareness was incredible, and we loved every second of it.The Cardinals sit at 29-25 after a frustrating sweep by the Brewers, including Dustin May carrying a no-hitter into the eighth and still taking the loss. We talk about why May has become one of the best stories on the staff, whether he's worth extending, and what his outing says about this team.We also dive into Masyn Winn's concerning offensive trends, including declining bat speed and hard contact, and whether it's just a slump or something bigger.Plus: Brian Torres impresses in his debut, JoJo Romero's stuff is surging, Liberatore and Pallante keep dealing, Cubs misery, Nootbaar rehab updates, Chase Davis heating up, and the UCLA pitcher with a tiny dinosaur on the mound.Also, Nate made a game!

Chaim Bloom joins Tom Ackerman to break down the St. Louis Cardinals 11–9 loss, highlighting Nathan Church's breakout, Masyn Winn's hot stretch, and Pedro Pagés' strong day before a mild hamstring injury. Bloom discusses catching depth with Iván Herrera and Jimmy Crooks, managing pitching through a 17-game stretch, and the potential for rotation adjustments. He also addresses development for Jordan Walker and Victor Scott II, emphasizing patience, depth, and long-term growth.

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the Cardinals 3-2 loss to the Mariners from Friday, April 24, 2026.Andre Pallante struck out 8 batters but gave up three runs including the go-ahead homer to Josh Naylor.Masyn Winn had a key RBI swing but it's all the Cardinals mustered in the game, letting an eighth-inning scoring chance fade with their best hitters at the plate.A new sounding podcast tonight, just to make sure y'all got one at all! Let me know some feedback!

The Cardinals are 14-10 and playing better than most people expected. They swept the Astros, the young core is slugging — 11th in MLB in home runs — but the pitching is still the worst K/9 in baseball and the bullpen is a ticking time bomb.Masyn Winn might be waking up. Ten hits in a week, a Crawford Box homer, career-high walk rates, and three steals already on the season. We dig into whether this is the start of the offensive evolution we've been waiting for, and whether a 117 wRC+ is the version of Masyn that makes him a perennial All-Star.Jordan Walker had his first real cold stretch — 12 strikeouts in six games, no home runs since last week. But Ben digs under the hood and the underlying metrics still look real: same attack angle, same bat speed, still hitting the ball hard. We talk about why you shouldn't panic, what the strikeout rate means for his streakiness going forward, and why that full-count at-bat last night was actually a sign of growth.Plus: Nathan Church is coming alive at the plate, José Fermín played center field for some reason, Victor Scott's offensive floor is a concern, Dustin May put together his two best starts of the season, Jurrangelo Cijntje switch-pitched in an actual game, Dickie Fitts needs season-ending lat surgery, and Ben returns from Coachella with a full field report including Bob Baker Marionettes, Korean steak kimchi fries, and a disappointing Moby set.We close with a new game: Rotation Rotation, where we draft the five non-Cardinals teams we're watching the most right now.Have a question or comment for the show?

Masyn Winn comes up with the big swing in his home town in the 10th inning in order to help put the Cardinals over the top in a sweep of the Astros on Sunday!That's five straight wins for the Redbirds as their record in close games this season is starting to be a noticeable talking point in their favor.

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 easy, but the Redbirds picked up their first sweep of the season, going to Houston and coming out with three straight Ws.  Is this team for real?  More reasonably, will they wind up better than the Mets this season?  How long can the pitching walk this tightrope?  Are some of the slumbering bats like Ivan Herrera and Masyn Winn waking up?  And is there hope for Nolan Gorman?  Can Victor Scott II get back to stealing bases?  So many points and a lot of them are positive!

Finish Your Breakfast (4.18.2026): RIP to Angels legend Garret Anderson. On Friday night, the Braves' Dom Smith and Mike Harris hit homers in a win. The Nationals'' Daylen Lile and James Wood hit home runs in a loss. The Cards Jordan Walker and Masyn Winn help their club beat the Astros. And Jeremiah Jackson is going on his way to joining Jo Adell in the FYB HOF. All of that AND the Black Baseball Mixtape Substack is number #98 in rising sports!

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the Cardinals 9-4 win over the Astros in which Gorman and Herrera brought the thunder late to help make a winner of Kyle Leahy while sparing Riley O'Brien from having to pitch for the third time in four days.Masyn Winn also had a huge swing in this game that could be indicative of what the Cards needs him to become.

Chaim Bloom joins Tom Ackerman to discuss Jordan Walker's hot start and how his offseason work is translating at the plate. He also provides updates on Masyn Winn's health, evaluates early pitching performances from Dustin May, Kyle Leahy, and Andre Pallante, and breaks down the organization's minor league progress and catching depth.

(00:00-19:40) Doug got a fade from Jerry The Barber. Clothes made out of human hair. Plowhawk forgot to hit aux. The Kings ripped Doug's heart out and put it back in last night. A scuffle for eighth. Doug can't get past the hair vests. Maybe some TMA merch made out of hair. Congrats to the March Listener of the Month, Gooner Reloaded. What's your favorite Joe Pesci movie.(19:48-51:53) Fun tie-ins. Jackson, our resident gigolo. Bull for hire. Masyn Winn with the walk-off hit and then a little car accident. This show is like the Statue of Liberty. Should we do a show from the moon? Old school takes. Still yearning for navy caps. Blues season on life support. QFTA today and anything goes.(52:03-1:41:24) We may have a hit on our hands with this Navy Caps on the Road. Maybe we should shoot a movie video for it. Can we get Courtney to play it on The Arch? Breaking down the Final Four. Mr. Lix chiming in on the phone lines and he's got some airport questions. People walking sideways down the aisle. Dirty kitchens. Purchasing Cheryl Dilcher's entire catalog. Some Cardinal talk. Talkin' Jake. Close your eyes and think bull, what do you see? Oven mitts to run the bases.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Phillies rookie Justin Crawford got his first RBI (run batted in) of the season. It was a big one. His walk-off single in the 10th capped a Phillies comeback. They were down 5-1 going into the bottom of the 7th. Crawford, 22, has a .412 batting average, a .444 on-base percentage, and a .471 slugging percentage so far. He's looking more comfortable in center field. The Phillies are now 3-3 on the season.Meanwhile, in St. Louis, Masyn Winn's single in the bottom of the 11th gave the Cardinals a 2-1 walk-off victory over the Mets. After the game, it was reported that Winn was in a car accident, but he appears to have avoided major injury. His condition will be monitored in the coming days and weeks.Over in Baltimore, the O's Sam Basallo made history yesterday. His bottom of the 9th ABS challenge is the first to result in a game-ending decision. Basallo went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs. The O's beat the Rangers 8-3. Elsewhere, the Braves' Drake Baldwin has been raking. Last year's NL Rookie of the Year went 2-for-5 with four RBIs last night. Baldwin would have had even more, but A's center fielder Denzel Clarke robbed him at the fence. The Braves are now 4-2 on the season, the A's 1-5.Turning to Miami, Sandy Alcantara threw a 93-pitch complete game shutout against the White Sox. Despite the strong performance, only 6,505 paid to attend. Alcantara, 30, acknowledged the sparse crowd, saying the fans don't come—but the team loves them anyway. The Marlins are now 5-1.Josh Bell hit his first home run of the season for the Twins, while Jo Adell notched his second RBI of the year for the Angels. Despite their efforts, both the Twins and Angels fell. Meanwhile, the Yankees secured another win, bringing both the Yankees and Brewers to 5-1 records.
