We break down John Mozeliak's final press conference as President of Baseball Operations, held on September 29, 2025, marking the end of his 18-year tenure with the St. Louis Cardinals. Mo reflected on his legacy, expressing no regrets and optimism for the team's future under incoming leader Chaim Bloom, while addressing key decisions like roster moves and the organization's direction. We dive into his candid thoughts on stepping down, the highs of building championship-caliber teams, and the challenges faced in recent years. We also take a deep dive into the 2025 season—a frustrating 78-84 campaign that saw the Cardinals finish fourth in the NL Central, missing the playoffs for the third straight year.

The Pirates extended Don Kelly and will bring back Ben Cherington. Poni disagrees with the idea that Cherington should still be in Pittsburgh. The Pirates have by far the worst record in the NL Central since Cherington took over as GM. Cherington is under contract until 2027.

Brewers President of Business Ops Rick Schlesinger joins Wisconsin Sports Daily to discuss the Brewers winning the NL Central again & what it will mean for the fans when they come to Am-Fam Field throughout the Playoffs!

On Off The Bench and The Stone Shields Show today we discuss Reds vs. Pirates, Terry Francona's decision to stay put with Hunter Greene, whether the Bengals quite on Zac Taylor and more! Off The Bench is back weekdays from 10a to 11a followed by The Stone Shields Show from 11a to noon! Tonight, September 23, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds host the Pittsburgh Pirates in the opener of a pivotal three-game series at Great American Ball Park, with everything on the line in the NL Wild Card race. Sitting at 79-76 after a gritty 6-3 win over the Cubs on Saturday—capped by Spencer Steer's scorching four-homer streak—the Reds have clawed into the third Wild Card spot, one game ahead of the surging New York Mets (78-77) and tied with the Giants for the final berth. Their magic number to clinch is 6: a combination of Reds wins and Mets losses that locks in postseason entry. This isn't just survival; it's redemption for a franchise starved for October baseball since a 2020 Wild Card sweep. With six games left—all divisional, including this Pirates set and a road finale against the Brewers—the Reds control their destiny in the razor-thin NL Central scrum. A win tonight, behind probable starter Hunter Greene's electric heat, could drop that magic number to 5 and tilt momentum against a Pirates squad that's 72-83 but pesky at home. Lose, and the Mets' tiebreaker edge looms large, potentially dooming Cincinnati to another heartbreaking fade. Young guns like Elly De La Cruz and Steer have ignited a late surge, but the bullpen's fragility and road woes against Milwaukee amplify the peril. Playoffs mean national stage validation for GM Nick Krall's rebuild; missing them risks fan apathy and another lost winter. At stake: legacy, pride, and a ticket to the expanded postseason starting September 30. Win, and Cincy dreams big. Falter, and it's back to the drawing board.  On September 21, 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals suffered a brutal 48-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, their worst defeat ever, dropping them to 0-3. With Joe Burrow out (wrist fracture), backup Jake Browning struggled, completing 12 of 25 passes for 98 yards and two interceptions. The defense collapsed, allowing 412 yards, as Carson Wentz carved them up in relief of rookie JJ McCarthy. Fans on X erupted, slamming the "effortless" performance and Zac Taylor's play-calling. Despite the rout, insiders argue it's too early to call it quits, citing Taylor's playoff pedigree. The Bengals face a critical rebound test.

The Tapping The Keg Game Review podcast recaps the weekend for the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers, and the Wisconsin Badgers. Podcast begins with Charlie talking about Matt LaFleur's approach to the game and where things all went wrong for him (2:00). The podcast continues on with Charlie discussing Golden Kegs highlighting the best and worst things about their loss to the Cleveland Browns (20:00). From there, Charlie celebrates the Milwaukee Brewers winning the NL Central and previews the week ahead (35:00). Lastly, Charlie talks about the Wisconsin Badgers hitting rock bottom (46:00).

On one hand…it's Monday. But on the other hand…it's the Monday of Oktoberfest week! In the news this morning, the Milwaukee parents who left six kids locked in a storage unit get charged, an armed man who claimed to be a member of law enforcement was arrested at the site of the Charlie Kirk memorial, Disney faces criticism and major financial losses after suspending Jimmy Kimmel, and Erika Kirk's words during the service for her husband. In sports, a rough weekend for Wisconsin sports as the Packers & Badgers both lost and the Brewers dropped two of three to the Cardinals(but still managed to clinch the NL Central title). Aaron Rodgers passed Brett Favre on the NFL's All-Time TD list, and Cal Raleigh keeps hitting dingers! Speaking of dingers, Mike Trout hit his 400th career home run and got the ball back from the fan who caught it…but not without having to "pay" for it. We talked about this weekend's NASCAR playoff race and the measly $200 fine that Caitlin Clark got after some online comments. Let you know what's on TV today/tonight and we discussed a website that's looking to pay someone to watch horror movies! Brian just about lost his mind this morning talking about his blue bucket of tent stakes that went missing. As bad as we may think the roads are in Wisconsin, we aren't even close to the worst state in the US. And today is the first day of Fall…but are we doing the seasons all wrong? One guy thinks so. A town in Iowa seems to have a real problem with TP'ing houses. Did you see the Stone Cold Steve Austin celebration this Saturday? Great stuff…unlike this scene from a football field where some kid got pancaked and had his back broken. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a bus driver that went off the deep end, a couple who claims their Lego collection got ruined by movers, a bear in a dollar store in NJ, and a couple of college kids who got in trouble for burning a couch with a flamethrower.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ROUGH football weekend in our fair state. The Packers puke one up in Cleveland. Bad day for the offense and special teams. Maybe a wake up call after dominating in Week 1 and Week 2. Now we get set for the Micah Parson return to Dallas this coming Sunday. Badgers not only lose at home on Saturday, they get dominated by Maryland. MARYLAND. Fire Fickell chants in the crowd, vibes are BAD bad in Madison. The good news? The Brewers clinch the NL Central! 3 games up on Philly for the best record in baseball with 6 games to go. Rough news for Woody though on Sunday as he hits the IL just before the playoffs. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Off The Bench and The Stone Shields Show today we discuss defensive improvement for the Bengals, the Reds refusal to give in, NFL playoff predictions, Bengals vs. Vikings injury report and more! Off The Bench is back weekdays from 10a to 11a followed by The Stone Shields Show from 11a to noon! The Cincinnati Reds secured a victory against the St. Louis Cardinals on September 17, 2025, clinching the series with a strong performance led by Spencer Steer, who drove in five runs. The Reds' offense was potent, capitalizing on key moments to outpace the Cardinals, whose record fell to 73-77. The game, played at Busch Stadium, showcased Cincinnati's ability to exploit pitching mistakes, with Steer's standout contribution highlighted in posts on X. Despite their 74-75 record, the Reds remain a competitive force in the NL Central, though playoff odds are slim at 12.9%. This win underscores their resilience under manager Terry Francona, with the team leaning on offensive firepower to stay relevant in a tight wild card race. The Cincinnati Bengals' defense has emerged as a strength in 2025, particularly evident in their 17-16 Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns. Under new defensive coordinator Al Golden, the unit limited Cleveland to 296 yards before a late drive, with DJ Turner II securing his first career interception and Jordan Battle adding another. Trey Hendrickson's sack on Joe Flacco forced a missed field goal, sealing the victory. The defense's performance was a marked improvement over 2024, when it struggled, allowing Cincinnati to overcome an anemic offense that managed just 141 total yards. This defensive resurgence has fueled optimism, with the Bengals (2-0) atop the AFC North, showing they can win gritty games. The Minnesota Vikings' Week 3 injury report ahead of their game against the Cincinnati Bengals lists 12 players, with over 20% of the 53-man roster affected. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) and center Ryan Kelly (concussion) did not practice and are likely out, with Carson Wentz expected to start. Left tackle Justin Skule (concussion) also missed practice. Limited participants include linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel (concussion), safety Harrison Smith (illness), and others with minor injuries. Left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee) and cornerback Jeff Okudah (concussion) were full participants, signaling potential returns. The Vikings face depth challenges but show encouraging signs Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

We discuss Masyn Winn's upcoming offseason knee surgery, Willson Contreras' return, and Brendan Donovan's rehab assignment, along with notable roster moves including Garrett Hampson's DFA and Nick Raquet's remarkable journey back to the majors. On the field, Nathan Church has been the Cardinals' hottest player in September, while Jordan Walker continues to struggle through a difficult season. With 12 of the next 15 games against NL Central opponents, the upcoming stretch against the Brewers and Reds looms large for the Wild Card race (lol yeah right). Plus, we cover league news including injuries to Trea Turner and Alec Bohm, Anthony Rizzo's retirement, the NL Wild Card picture, and… “Home Run Karen.”Have a question or comment for the show?

Pete spent the day doing some investigative journalism. He made calls, pulled records, and chased down leads no one else had the courage — or the free time — to chase. Something is clearly wrong. Since the All-Star Break, every team ToR follows has decided to embrace mediocrity — at best! — as a lifestyle choice. This weak, the Team discusses the Cubs dropping out of the NL Central race, the Cardinals’ tragic number reducing to four, CITY hovering dangerously close to the Wooden Spoon, and Newcastle drawing Leeds, not to mention the Bears spending Monday's fourth quarter collapsing as performance art. Because after careful research, meticulous analysis, and hours of reflection, Pete finally uncovered the root cause of all this misery. It’s Ron’s fault.

In the third hour, Mike Mulligan and David Haugh continued to preview the Bears-Vikings game. After that, Score baseball insider Bruce Levine joined the show to discuss the Cubs losing two of three games to the Nationals over the weekend. Later, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk joined the show to preview the Bears-Vikings matchup and to break down the Week 1 action in the NFL.

The Los Angeles Dodgers dropped another game to the Pirates on Thursday evening, completing a sweep at the hands of the NL Central's last-place team and the lowest-scoring team in MLB. The offense showed signs of life in the ninth inning, but it came down to Ben Rortvedt against a major-league pitcher, and unfortunately that's a battle Rortvedt loses 91% of the time. We'll dig into Blake Snell's fifth-inning implosion, the Dodgers' anemic offense for 17 straight innings, and the circumstances that led to Rortvedt being in the game at all. Join us!

Kap and Gordon are back as the Chicago Cubs continue their rollercoaster season.  The last 3 months, the Cubs have played just a tick above .500 causing frustration throughout the fanbase and this podcast.  It leads to a discussion and debate about the things that manager Craig Counsell does well as Jed Hoyer targeted him a year and a half ago to make the highest paid manager in the history of the game.  Kap doesn't see it.  Gordon quite frankly doesn't either.  So, is manager Craig Counsell overrated?  The guys discuss and they look ahead.  Is chasing down the NL Central leading Brewers possible?  The schedule says so, the lineup may say otherwise.Take That!You are watching the #1 YouTube Chicago sports channel for every REKAP with David Kaplan➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@thekapman4 ➡️ https://twitter.com/thekapman  ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/thekapman ➡️ https://instagram.com/thekapman  ➡️ https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-kaplan-6ab53028  ➡️ REKAP Website: https://bit.ly/the-kap-manStay passionate, stay critical, and stay winning with us.

Cheers to a long weekend and some good weather in the forecast. Might see some rain on Saturday, but otherwise…it looks like it's going to be a great few days to get out & enjoy the last weekend of summer. Speaking of Labor Day, we had a bunch of stats & info about the upcoming holiday, including the results of a poll on our favorite condiments for all of our grilled deliciousness! We also got a new racing report from Doc, thanks to County Materials in Holmen. Let you know what's on TV & in theaters this weekend, and we also took a look at what new music is out today. And have you seen any of these dark theories about SpongeBob? They all seem a bit far-fetched. In the news, a recap of Vice President JD Vance's visit to La Crosse, an Outagamie County judge will resign from the bench to avoid criminal charges, Hannah Dugan lost her bid to have the charges against her dropped, and the Powerball jackpot is getting close to a BILLION dollars! In sports this morning, the Brewers dropped another one to the D-Backs yesterday but remain 6.5 games up on the Cubs in the NL Central, the Wisconsin Badgers football team began it's season with a 17-0 shutout but their starting QB got injured, and Micah Parsons is coming to Green Bay! Elsewhere in sports, Kyle Schwarber had a monster day yesterday, there's going to be a massive amount of money bet on NFL games this season, and Doris Burke is getting demoted at ESPN. Cute story about an older couple who recently renewed their vows for their 72nd anniversary, and a postcard that a guy sent to his parents in 1953 got lost…was recently found…and returned to the original sender. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy in his Batman PJs stopping a would-be thief, an "influencer" who won't leave a cannibal tribe alone, a woman who was driving around with a giant metal staircase on top of her car, a bikini-clad barista who was almost abducted through the drive-thru window, and a former bowling alley owner that tried to kill the prosecutors & judges involved in his case.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Pirates and Cardinals wrapped up their 2025 season series, and Neil and Doug break it all down on tonight's Postgame Show Powered by Primanti's. The guys vent about the all-too-familiar script: Braxton Ashcraft shoved, but the bats disappeared and the bullpen collapsed late. They dig into Yohan Ramirez's disastrous outing, the shaky trust level with Colin Holderman, and the larger issue of bullpen construction under this front office. Offensively, the Bucs once again failed in big spots — going 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position and leaving eight men on base. Neil and Doug debate whether this team's situational hitting woes or the bullpen is the bigger problem, and how much blame falls on management versus the players. They also touch on the positives from Ashcraft's strong performance and where the Pirates go from here in the NL Central race.

We dissect the team's turbulent 2025 season with a focus on the pitching staff's dramatic collapse. From blown leads to inconsistent outings, we explore how the rotation and bullpen have faltered, contributing to the Cardinals' slide to a 65-69 record and fourth place in the NL Central. We zero in on the struggles of key starters Miles Mikolas, who's posted a disappointing 6-10 record with a 5.17 ERA over 25 starts, and Andre Pallante, who's battled to a 6-12 mark with a 5.44 ERA in 25 appearances. What factors are behind their high ERAs and losing records, and can they turn it around before the season ends?

The Cardinals keep finding new ways to lose, from a fan base running out of patience to players losing their minds (looking at you, Willson). Meanwhile, the Cubs try to claw their way back into the NL Central race, but not without Elliott and Pete’s usual mix of drama, anxiety, and over-analysis. The Team also debates rumored MLB expansion cities (spoiler: Nashville comes up, because of course it does). And finally, Ron delivers another extended Soccer Minute with double the heartbreak, as both Newcastle and City lose late, but in very different ways. Maybe it’s Ron…?

Alec Burleson had the final say as the Cardinals walked off the Pirates on Monday night, but Willson Contreras certainly had plenty to say of his own. We break down the night for Burly, Michael McGreevy, whether the Cardinals are closer to the Brewers or the Pirates in the hierarchy of the NL Central, plus Contreras' tirade against the home plate umpire that got him and Oli Marmol ejected from the game.

Lance Brozdowski digs into the Cubs' West Coast sweep of the Angels, talks about why Craig Counsell pulled Jameson Taillon at just 62 pitches and discusses top pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins' return to the mound for Double-A Knoxville.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are rolling after a weekend sweep of the Rockies, and we've got plenty to break down on this week's Bucco Brew! We start with the latest news and notes as the Pirates claim Ryan Kreidler and Jared Triolo continues to heat up in August. Triolo has been red-hot as the everyday shortstop, flashing his glove and showing real offensive growth — could he be cementing himself as a core piece for 2026 and beyond? Then, we dive into Bubba Chandler's electric debut on Friday night. The stuff was nasty, the energy was there, and Pirates fans got a glimpse of what could be a huge arm for the future. What's next for Bubba the rest of 2025 — starter depth, bullpen weapon, or more? We're also joined by Anthony Murphy to talk all things Pirates prospects, including Chandler's trajectory and who else is rising (or struggling) in the system. Finally, we wrap with a Cardinals series preview, breaking down pitching matchups, key bats to watch, and what the Pirates need to do to keep momentum rolling in the NL Central.

Today's word of the day is ‘busted' as in the Milwaukee Brewers as in 14 wins as in the NL Central as in best in baseball. The streak is finally over, but the Brewers had a shot. Friday a comeback. Saturday a comeback. Sunday a comeback, but blew it in the 9th! Now it's time for a 5-game series against the Chicago Cubs. HUGE for both teams! (12:30) The Cubs fans booed Kyle Tucker on Sunday.
