This St. Louis Cardinals defense is unbelievable!Masyn Winn, Victor Scott II, Brendan Donovan, and yes, in perhaps a more subtle way, Willson Contreras was a significant contributor to the Cards 1-0 win on Saturday in Kansas City.Jordan Walker came up with the key swing, powering the lone run in the ball game as Miles Mikolas was brilliant yet again.

Mark & Al address the growing elephant in the clubhouse after the 5th straight loss: Is the seat getting hotter for Manager Davey Martinez?(12:05) Nathaniel Lowe's solo homer was the only source of offense in defeat.  The bats were so quiet this weekend, that the only other Washington runs scored in the entire series were off of Dylan Crews' 2-run HR on Saturday. Hear Mark point out how much better Cardinals pitcher Miles Mikolas is against the Nationals than he is against most other opponents in the past few seasons.(17:30) Dylan Crews made a beautiful diving back-handed catch in the top of the 9th and it is an example of his great outfield defense since getting called up.(23:10) MacKenzie Gore gave up a 1st inning homer and four runs overall in just shy of seven innings of work.  Gore's exit was a tad curious as it seemed like he asked out of the game with two outs and about to face the 9th hitter.(31:00) Jarlin Susana, the highly rated AA pitcher , has been placed on the 7-day IL due to a Grade 1 UCL sprain. Susana was part of the trade package in the 2022 Juan Soto trade to the Padres.(35:00) Cade Cavalli has been optioned to AAA and was pulled in the 3rd inning on Saturday.  Mark explains the ramifications of Cavalli's roster status and most importantly when he might take the mound for the Nationals this year. 

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 win over the Nationals on Sunday, Mother's Day, as the Redbirds keep things rolling by sweeping the Nats and winning their eighth straight game!Miles Mikolas once again did all you could ask for, even if he felt like he could see his game extended beyond the 69 pitches that he threw, we explain why it was certainly the right choice by Oliver Marmol to turn to Steven Matz for what ended up being the biggest leverage spot in the game.The Cardinals offense got some early power swings off against MacKenzie Gore with Nootbaar and Contreras both launching their sixth home runs of the season. It was even more impressive, though, the way the Cards kept at it against Gore and chased him from the game with a key insurance rally in the seventh inning.Nolan Arenado tacked on a two-run homer of his own in the eighth to allow the Cards to comfortably complete the sweep!Now, a big series in Philadelphia looms as the Cardinals send their top arms to the mound against the Phillies.

On April 30, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds faced the St. Louis Cardinals in a split doubleheader at Great American Ball Park, prompted by the postponement of the previous night's game due to heavy rain and severe weather threats. The Reds, riding a five-game winning streak and holding a 16-13 record, aimed to maintain their momentum in the National League Central. However, the doubleheader proved challenging, resulting in a sweep by the Cardinals and exposing areas of concern for Cincinnati. In Game 1, starting at 12:40 p.m. ET, the Reds fell 6-0. Brady Singer, Cincinnati's starter, pitched six scoreless innings, allowing five hits and striking out eight without a walk. Despite his effort, the Reds' offense was stifled by Cardinals' pitcher Miles Mikolas, managing only five hits and no runs. The game remained scoreless until the ninth, when Reds reliever Alexis Díaz struggled, surrendering three consecutive home runs to Victor Scott II, Lars Nootbaar, and Masyn Winn, who hit his second of the game. Díaz allowed five runs, ballooning his ERA and drawing criticism from fans on X for his lack of command, with some calling his pitches “batting practice.” Game 2, starting at 6:40 p.m. ET, saw the Reds lose 9-1. Chase Petty, a 22-year-old top pitching prospect, made his MLB debut as the 27th man for the doubleheader. Petty, called up from Triple-A Louisville, struggled, giving up five runs over four innings. The Cardinals capitalized early, and the Reds' offense again faltered against Steven Matz, scoring just one run. Posts on X highlighted fan disappointment, noting the Reds' combined one run across both games and Petty's rough debut, though some remained hopeful for his future. The doubleheader exposed offensive inconsistencies and bullpen weaknesses, particularly Díaz's meltdown. Injuries also loomed large: outfielder Austin Hays was sidelined with a hamstring issue, and infielder Jeimer Candelario was placed on the 10-day IL with a back injury, retroactive to April 28. Tyler Callihan was called up to fill the gap. Despite the losses, the Reds (16-15) had a chance to split the four-game series in the finale. Under new manager Terry Francona, the team's young core, including Elly De La Cruz and Matt McLain, remains a focal point for optimism as they navigate a grueling 17-game stretch without an off day until May 12.

The Cincinnati Reds face the St. Louis Cardinals in a split doubleheader today, April 30, 2025, at Great American Ball Park, rescheduled due to yesterday's rainout. Game 1 starts at 12:40 p.m. ET, with Game 2 at 6:40 p.m. ET. The Reds, riding a five-game winning streak, aim to capitalize on their momentum against a struggling Cardinals squad (12-17), who are desperate to avoid one of their worst 30-game starts in the Wild Card era. Game 1 Preview: Brady Singer (4-0, 3.62 ERA) takes the mound for the Reds against Miles Mikolas (0-2, 5.70 ERA). Singer, acquired in the offseason, has been a reliable arm, though Great American's hitter-friendly confines could test him. Mikolas, coming off a strong shutout against Atlanta, will look to keep the ball out of the middle of the plate. The Reds' lineup, led by Elly De La Cruz's superstar spark, should see Matt McLain's return after hamstring soreness. However, injuries to Austin Hays, Jeimer Candelario, and Tyler Stephenson may force reliance on call-ups like Chase Petty and Tyler Callihan. The Cardinals' offense, inconsistent this season, needs production from Paul Goldschmidt to counter Cincinnati's speed and power. Game 2 Preview: The Reds have not announced their starter, with Nick Martinez (0-2, 5.91 ERA) or a bullpen game as possibilities. St. Louis counters with Steven Matz (2-0, 1.80 ERA), whose early-season form makes him a tough matchup. The Reds' offense, bolstered by Noel Marte's recent two-run homer, must stay disciplined against Matz's command. De La Cruz, a dynamic force, and a hopefully healthy McLain will be key. The Cardinals, meanwhile, lean on their pitching to cool Cincinnati's hot streak, but their shaky bullpen could be a liability late. Key Factors: The Reds' aggressive baserunning, led by De La Cruz, could exploit St. Louis' defensive lapses. Cincinnati's bullpen, with Emilio Pagán's experience, needs to hold leads. For the Cardinals, generating early offense and avoiding high-leverage relief situations are critical. Weather should cooperate, with clear skies forecast. With Terry Francona's strategic edge and Cincinnati's young talent clicking, the Reds are favored to split or sweep, but St. Louis's desperation could make this a tight battle.

Nick Kirby and Trace Fowler recap the Cincinnati Reds win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night for their 5th straight win. They talk about the best start of the season for Nick Martinez, the dominant Reds bullpen, good defense, big days again from Gavin Lux and Noelvi Marte and much more. Plus a rundown of the Reds top minor leaguer performers and a preview of Tuesday's pitching matchup of Brady Singer vs Miles Mikolas.   Today's Episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVJPDm6VYR8&t=428s    DSC Commodities: https://deepsouthcommodities.com/    CALL OR TEXT 988 FOR HELP DAY OR NIGHT: https://mantherapy.org/get-help/national-resources/164/lifeline-crisis-chat    OTHER CHATTERBOX PROGRAMING:   Off The Bench: https://otbthombrennaman.podbean.com/  Chatterbox Bengals: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chatterbox-bengals-a-cincinnati-bengals-nfl-podcast/id1652732141  Chatterbox Bearcats: https://chatterboxbearcats.podbean.com/  Dialed In with Thom Brennaman: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjPJjEFaBD7VLxmcTTWV0ubHu_cSFdEDU  Chatterbox Man on the Street: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ye-HjJdmmQ&list=PLjPJjEFaBD7V0GOh595LyjumA0bZaqwh9&pp=iAQB

For everyone else, what did it matter the order Oliver Marmol called upon them? They flat out didn't do the job. So it begs the question, how did the Cardinals get into this spot in the first place?Brenden defends Oli's in-game management while also criticism the overall approach that led to Ryan Fernandez still being with the big club for this series in Atlanta.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses a painful loss for the St. Louis Cardinals as Francisco Lindor and the Mets walked it off on Friday night at Citi Field.That's the seventh road loss of the year for the Cards in only eight games, and it was a frustrating one considering they got a few timely hits (including a clutch home run by Brendan Donovan in the top of the ninth) and decent enough starting pitching from Miles Mikolas.Frankly, it was the bullpen slowly revealing some cracks that ultimately came back to haunt the Redbirds in this one.Plus, JJ Wetherholt leaves early with an injury in Springfield.Follow this podcast feed for Cardinals coverage daily, all season long!

On the April 18, 2025 episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview MLB podcast, Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner provided in-depth analysis of the Friday baseball slate with betting insights. Munaf opened by highlighting his 5-1 betting record and credited their collaborative discussions for the success. The first matchup covered was Diamondbacks vs. Cubs (0:10–7:40). Corbin Burnes has struggled early, while Cubs starter Colin Rea provides potential value. Chicago leads MLB in runners in scoring position appearances and has scored 124 runs to Arizona's 104. The Cubs as home underdogs and a lean to the over were discussed, depending on Wrigley Field wind. In Royals vs. Tigers (7:41–11:34), Cole Ragans faces top prospect Jackson Jobe. Kansas City's offense has produced just 19 runs over its last 10 games and is 2-8 on the road. The Tigers' bullpen is strong, and both hosts leaned toward Detroit plus money and under 7.5. Guardians vs. Pirates (11:35–15:11) features Luis Ortiz against Carmen Mlodzinski. Mlodzinski has a 1.77 WHIP with command issues. The Guardians were favored due to bullpen depth. Pittsburgh is 6-4 at home and to the over. There was a slight lean to Cleveland and possibly over 8.5. In Marlins vs. Phillies (15:12–19:08), Sandy Alcantara is no longer dominant, while Zack Wheeler boasts an 11-4 record and 2.73 ERA against Miami. Philadelphia is 24-11 in Wheeler's home starts since 2023. The Phillies were a strong lean, especially on the run line. Yankees vs. Rays (19:49–25:11) featured Carlos Rodón, who has allowed 4+ earned runs and 3+ walks in three straight starts. Drew Rasmussen has not allowed a run in 21 career innings vs. the Yankees. Munaf's best bet was Rays first five innings at -110. In Reds vs. Orioles (25:12–28:31), Andrew Abbott faces Cade Povich. While Abbott had a solid outing against Pittsburgh, Baltimore's offense poses more danger. The Orioles were favored and offensive production expected. Mariners vs. Blue Jays (28:31–31:40) has Bryan Woo, who has struggled away from home, against Bowden Francis. Toronto is 7-3 at home and the over 7.5 was considered. Cardinals vs. Mets (31:42–35:05) pits Miles Mikolas against David Peterson. St. Louis is 1-6 on the road and lacks comeback potential. The Mets were the lean, especially on the run line. Griffin's best bet was Braves -130 vs. Twins (35:06–38:12). Chris Paddack has lost all three starts by 2+ runs and Bryce Elder is trying to earn a rotation spot. In Red Sox vs. White Sox (38:13–41:46), Martín Pérez is a steady innings-eater. Boston has a negative run differential and both hosts were reluctant to back them as heavy favorites. Dodgers vs. Rangers (41:46–45:55) features Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who has a 0.91 WHIP and 28 strikeouts in 22 innings, against Jacob deGrom, who's allowed multiple home runs in consecutive starts. The Dodgers were favored early. In Astros vs. Padres (52:32–56:54), Kyle Hart rebounded after a poor debut, while Houston's Ryan Gusto is unproven. The Padres are 15-4, and with Houston's bullpen issues, San Diego at +123 was the consensus lean. Brewers vs. A's (56:55–1:01:02) has Freddy Peralta allowing six earned runs over 23.1 innings. Milwaukee is 43-27 at home in his starts since 2018. Nationals vs. Rockies (1:01:11–1:04:14) features cold Denver weather and a low total of nine. MacKenzie Gore's road struggles were noted, but Washington was the slight lean. Giants vs. Angels (1:04:14–1:07:43) featured Logan Webb's consistency against Tyler Anderson. San Francisco is 9-4 on the road with eight wins by 2+ runs. Munaf leaned Giants run line. The episode ended with a promo for Pregame's $1,000 MLB contest and 20 percent discount code HOMERUN20.

The Dodgers were favored early. In Astros vs. Padres (52:32–56:54), Kyle Hart rebounded after a poor debut, while Houston's Ryan Gusto is unproven. The Padres are 15-4, and with Houston's bullpen issues, San Diego at +123 was the consensus lean. Brewers vs. A's (56:55–1:01:02) has Freddy Peralta allowing six earned runs over 23.1 innings. Milwaukee is 43-27 at home in his starts since 2018. Nationals vs. Rockies (1:01:11–1:04:14) features cold Denver weather and a low total of nine. MacKenzie Gore's road struggles were noted, but Washington was the slight lean. Giants vs. Angels (1:04:14–1:07:43) featured Logan Webb's consistency against Tyler Anderson. San Francisco is 9-4 on the road with eight wins by 2+ runs. Munaf leaned Giants run line. The episode ended with a promo for Pregame's $1,000 MLB contest and 20 percent discount code HOMERUN20.
