The off-season evaluations continue with the shortstop position. Paul DeJong finished up his 4th season as the Cardinals regular shortstop, and it's on key with him: consistency. Lucas thinks that if he can find consistency, then Paul DeJong could be a perennial all-star shortstop. With a multitude of options for offensive upgrades this season, Cardinal fans want Francisco Lindor but that doesn't seem likely with how high the Cardinals are on DeJong. Lucas also gives his reaction to the Championship Series' and his take on the upcoming World Series.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock AutoAmazing selection. Reliably low prices.

Off-Season Evaluations continue with a look at the third base position! Matt Carpenter, Brad Miller and Tommy Edman were the three main players at third this season, and while they provided big moments, their overall play was less than pleasing. Matt Carpenter probably needs to go, Brad Miller can come back as a player off the bench and the Cardinals need to find a full time position for Edman. Listen for Lucas' grade on the third basemen of the St. Louis Cardinals!Title Sponsor- Rock AutoToday's episode is brought to you by RockAuto.com. Amazing selection. Reliably low prices.

The off-season evaluations continue with a look at the Cardinals second basemen. This includes a heavy look at Kolten Wong and a lighter look at Tommy Edman, Brad Miller and Max Schrock. While Wong did have a down year offensively, his defense didn't waver as he's once again the favorite for the Gold Glove at second base. Lucas gives his grade for the year, and he also gives his take on ALCS Game One, and his picks for who will win the AL and NL pennant, respectively.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock AutoAmazing selection.

There are a lot of Cardinals in the playoffs this year, but sadly they aren't wearing the Birds on the Bat. Whether they were prospects that got away too soon (Arozarena, Alcantara or Sierra) or players the Cardinals didn't re-sign (Ozuna) there are a lot of "what if's" that come to mind. Especially with how the Cardinal outfield performed in 2020. a couple of these outfielders would have fit in nicely in St. Louis. Lucas looks at the players he misses the most that are still in playoff contention and tells you how one of them has the opportunity to come back.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! PostmatesFor a limited time, Postmates is giving our listeners ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS of free delivery credit for your first SEVEN days.

First base was mainly handled by Paul Goldschmidt for the St. Louis Cardinals in 2020, and luckily for them, he produced like he used to back in Arizona. Goldy returned to form after a questionable first year in St. Louis, having his highest average total since 2015, and his slash line being the best since 2015 or 2016. He was the one guy in the lineup that the other team circled, and he was the one guy that really produced from day one. Listen to the show to hear Lucas' thought on Goldschmidt and co. and how they did at first base.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! PostmatesFor a limited time, Postmates is giving our listeners ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS of free delivery credit for your first SEVEN days.

It's the off-season, so it's time to look back and evaluate how the Cardinals did, position by position! Lucas starts with the catcher's position, meaning he's looking at Yadier Molina, Matt Wieters and Andrew Knizner. The stats don't jump out at you, especially the offensive ones, but when looking at the catcher you must look beyond the stat sheet. Lucas gives his grade of the season on the catcher's, and talks about why it's higher than you might think after seeing the stats.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! PostmatesFor a limited time, Postmates is giving our listeners ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS of free delivery credit for your first SEVEN days.

Bob Gibson passed away on Friday, so Lucas takes this episode to remember the great man and great pitcher he was. From the statistical greatness, to the great moments to the mentoring of Jack Flaherty, Bob Gibson was a baseball legend that will be remembered forever. Lucas also looks at Lou Brock, who passed away earlier this season. He then looks at current Cardinal greats Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina and what their futures with (or without) the Cardinals might be.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! PostmatesFor a limited time, Postmates is giving our listeners ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS of free delivery credit for your first SEVEN days.

The St. Louis Cardinals fell 4-0 on Friday, ending their 2020 season in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs. This was a frustrating team, but this was a resilient, hard-nosed and high-character team. Just making the playoffs was a testament to their will and strength. Gabrielle Starr joins the show to recap what she saw in the game on Friday, and Lucas gives his thoughts on the postseason and the regular season. He also outlines what the show is going to look like moving into the offseason.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! PostmatesFor a limited time, Postmates is giving our listeners ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS of free delivery credit for your first SEVEN days.

Fernando Tatis Jr. broke out with two home runs last night, helping the Padres to an 11-9 win over the Cardinals. It was a great, back and forth game but in the end, the Padres offense was too much for St. Louis. The bullpen had a rare game of ineffectiveness as no one could tame the San Diego lineup, and St. Louis' lineup couldn't keep up. Jack Flaherty gets the ball today for the Cardinals and San Diego has a depleted bullpen which is a huge advantage to St. Louis.

The St. Louis Cardinals won Game One 7-4 over the San Diego Padres last night. In a surprising development, the offense awoke for 4 runs in the first inning, and ended the game with 13 hits. While KK Kim didn't have his best stuff, the bullpen came in and didn't allow an earned run, showing the Padres what the NL Central already knows -> this bullpen is incredibly talented. Yesterday saw a historic 8 playoff games in one day, and Lucas gives his brief talk on what went down. In game two the Cardinals have Adam Wainwright taking the mound, which is a huge advantage for them.

The St. Louis Cardinals are heading back to the postseason for the second consecutive year following a 5-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. This is a remarkable feat for the Cardinals, taking into account the originally shortened schedule and the extra complications with an internal COVID break out, forcing another 17-day-delay within the season. Lucas looks back at how the Cardinals got here, appreciates how special it is for any team to make the playoffs, recaps the Brewer series and looks ahead to the daunting three-game-series against the Padres in the first round.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock AutoAmazing selection.

Cardinal catcher Yadier Molina collected his 2,000th hit last night, and St. Louis beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2. It was a big win for the Redbirds as they try and find some sort of consistency down the stretch heading into October. Beyond Dylan Carlson, no Cardinal recorded an extra base hit and they continued to struggle with RISP, gathering one hit in 16 at-bats in that scenario last night. Despite the headlines being grabbed by Carlson and Molina, the offense needs to find a way to produce more. Jack Flaherty and Daniel Ponce de Leon start in the doubleheader today, and the Cardinals have yet another chance to make a statement in the NL.

The St. Louis Cardinals have tripped, stumbled and fallen into the final weekend of the season. St. Louis dropped two of three against the Royals, and end the road trip at 7-6. This offense isn't getting it done, despite flashes of success sprinkled in throughout the season. Carlos Martinez's start could've been his last as a Cardinal, as he is just too much of a question mark. This final weekend series against the Brewers is make or break, and if the Cardinals are going to step up, the time is now.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock AutoAmazing selection.

Behind the arm of Austin Gomber and the bat of Dylan Carlson the St. Louis beat the Kansas City Royals 5-0. Gomber went six shutout innings and Carlson went 3-4, just a home run away from the cycle. If Carlson gets going, watch out because that could be a big boost to the Cardinal offense. St. Louis is now the 5th seed in the NL, slated to play the San Diego Padres if the postseason started today. While there's a lot of baseball to be played, the Cardinals control their own destiny going down the stretch. Carlos Martinez gets the ball for the Redbirds as they go for a series win.
