Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals snapping the six-game losing streak against the Brewers on Saturday, as Willson Contreras was at the center of some controversial moments.Contreras had a collision with Caleb Durbin at first base that Rhys Hoskins took some major exception to. From there, guys started getting thrown at and tensions continued to rise.Willson had the last laugh with a home run later in the game, and he stared down the Brewers dugout to make sure they knew about it.Nolan Gorman had a big swing in this game that makes us think he should continue in the lineup for the foreseeable future.Ryan Helsley had a shot in the ninth inning, and is still working through things with the fastball.

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 From near his perch at Busch Stadium, where he calls games for the Cardinals' Spanish language broadcast, Polo Ascensio surveys the style of game, the style of play, and, yes, the style of his calls for the 2025 Cardinals. The nine-game home stand did not lack for some compelling games -- though evidently there is some debate on how entertaining the opening innings of the Cardinals' 2-1 victory against the Dodgers was -- and that had to be reflected in the calls from all of the broadcast booths. Ahead of Toronto completing a series sweep of the Cardinals, Ascensio spoke with Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold about those calls, about the enthusiasm and inspiration he brings to them as well as whether this team has made such energy easier with its style of play. Ascensio also discusses the catching history of the Cardinals and the catching present, with background on how two members of the current team, Willson Contreras and Ivan Herrera, signed with the Cardinals specifically because of their fondness for former Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina. The podcast explores why Contreras stayed with the Cardinals when the team, pivoting toward youth, offered to trade him to a contender, and there a conversation about Herrera's future at catcher. Ascensio's broadcasts with former catcher and former Cardinals coach Bengie Molina are available for every home game on WIJR/880 AM La Tremenda. There is hope from many parties in and around the Cardinals that the broadcasts will expand beyond home games, especially if the club continues to contend late into the season.

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the St. Louis Cardinals 5-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night at Busch Stadium as Shohei Ohtani's club didn't hold up to the might of Sonny Gray's arsenal in this matchup.Gray cruised to another scoreless appearance against a stout lineup as he's looking like the ace that was promised all along.The bullpen rounded into form, too, as the offense made sure to get what it needed against LAD starter Justin Wrobleski (who was extremely volatile in a very strange bottom of the fifth inning!). Good to see the defensive brilliance continue for the Cardinals, too, plus the recent trend of power swings by Willson Contreras showed up again.And we go down on the farm to discuss some big-time efforts by prominent Cardinals pitching prospects.Follow this podcast feed for daily Cardinals talk all year round!
Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the St. Louis Cardinals doubleheader split against the Royals on Thursday at Busch Stadium as the Cardinals rallied to win Game 1 in dramatic fashion but lost the nightcap amid a concerning development for Matthew Liberatore.Willson Contreras was locked in and emotional in the way he carried the Cardinal lineup on Thursday, which is a great sign to see.Plus, we check in on JJ Wetherholt with a nice night for Springfield when we go down on the farm (moo).Follow this podcast feed for daily Cardinals content all year!
Sonny Gray was dominant for the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday, holding the Texas Rangers to a measly four hits and a goose egg in the runs column across seven stellar innings. Gray racked up 10 strikeouts for the second time over his last three starts. Phil Maton and Ryan Helsley shut the door out of the Cardinal bullpen on a day where the Cardinals shut out the Rangers in a 2-0 win.The Cards got their scoring early on an Arenado sac fly and an RBI double by Willson Contreras.We also discuss the roster moves from Saturday that included Jordan Walker hitting the IL.Plus, down on the farm, the Springfield Cardinals shelled Royals star Cole Ragans during his rehab assignment!

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 A big, defining topic for the Cardinals' future and their development of a big, defining hitter needs a jumbo-sized Best Podcast in Baseball. For more than a decade, the Cardinals have had to go shopping for their middle-order hitters -- either by trade (Paul Goldcshmidt, Nolan Arenado, Marcell Ozuna) or, rarely, by free agency (Carlos Beltran, Willson Contreras) -- but during this "reset" year where offense has been a major part of their success, the Cardinals seem closer to having homegrown hitters in the middle of the order to build around. Brendan Donovan, currently hitting No. 3, leads the league in doubles and hits. Candidates to climb up to cleanup include Ivan Herrera. There is the catch. Herrera's bright future as a hitter seems clear. Less so, is where he fits at catcher. Kevin Wheeler, host at KMOX/104.1 FM, joins the Best Podcast in Baseball to discuss all of the ramifications of this question: Can the Cardinals develop the middle of the order for a contending team? It's a question thick with implications. With St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold, Wheeler discusses Herrera's fit as a potential cleanup hitter, what it means that the Cardinals have an advancing group of catching talents in the minors, and whether Herrera needs to be flanked by a fellow prospect for the Cardinals to have a strong lineup. The cost of surefire middle-order hitters is only going up, and increasingly all teams need both lightning and thunder to come from within the house. This BPIB discusses whether the Cardinals need to have Jordan Walker and/or Nolan Gorman join the middle of the order for their development summer to be a success, and where Alec Buleson, JJ Wetherholt, Lars Nootbaar, and Masyn Winn best fit into the lineup of the future. The Cardinals, with 10 different players who have at least 15 RBIs, are cranking out the hits this season and they've won 18 of their past 23 because of the depth of their lineup. Is that what the future holds as well -- not one or two hitters that are the fulcrum of the lineup but a depth that goes all the way to the speed at the bottom? The answer could be the key whether the Cardinals contend in the years they're looking toward as well. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a weekly production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.
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. If you don't realize how good Mikolas has actually been this year, take a listen to some of these stats in this episode!Follow this podcast feed for Cardinals coverage all year long!
- Does the success of Masyn Winn and Victor Scott II prove the Cardinals reset should center around draft and player development?- Are the Blues going to be what the Cardinals once were?- Do we overlook the type of leader that Willson Contreras is?- Is the NFL as healthy as it has been in a long time when it comes to Quarterbacks?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.

Can Matthew Liberatore keep the run going? All that and much more in this week's outing!
We get into Willson Contreras responding to Martin about fan attendance. Historically, does low attendance reflect on the ownership, management or team? Or all three?
