The Cardinals are 44-38 and the playoff picture is getting tight. Playoff odds dropped from 55% to 33% in two weeks, the Cubs are surging thanks to Pete Crow-Armstrong's MVP-level June, and seven games against Chicago an
JJ Wetherholt is on pace for a better rookie season than Albert Pujols in 2001. He's got the best June of his career, he's 7th in fWAR among all position players, and he's a legitimate MVP candidate. C70 joins us to talk
The Cardinals are 40-31 with a 55% chance to make the playoffs, and the trade deadline conversation just got real. Do you trade Dustin May and JoJo Romero, or do you owe it to Walker, Burleson, and the rest of the young
The Cardinals are 36-28, riding a five-game win streak, and Jordan Walker is on 30/30 watch. He's got 16 homers and 10 steals with two-thirds of the season left, and the All-Star conversation is getting loud. Nootbaar is

The Cardinals have the seventh-best offense in baseball. Ahead of them? Houston, Detroit, Atlanta, LA, New York, and that's about it. We dig into what that means for a team that was supposed to be rebuilding, and why thi
Nathan Church hit three home runs this week and robbed another one. But the real story isn't the results — it's the underlying changes. His bat speed is up, his swing rate has jumped, and he's striking out less while swi
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
Jordan Walker isn't just hot, he's the best player in baseball right now. Better than Aaron Judge, better than Ohtani, better than Bobby Witt Jr. Through 17 games he's already deleted 111 games of negative WAR from last
Jordan Walker has spent the last two weeks doing things we've never seen him do before. Through 12 games, he's leading Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani in fWAR, he launched a 459-foot grand slam to dead center off an 88 mph
