  • The Brendan Donovan of Cardinals podcasts

    Slightly above average but has the impactful leadership qualities so you absolutely cannot trade them for a podcast with better tools and athleticism

  • Doom and gloom

    At times they really do have good analysis but overall, if you listen to them on a consistent basis, you will be on the brink of giving up your fandom for baseball. Definitely your fandom for the Cardinals. They have a sky is falling mentality. Josh constantly is trying to convince you that the franchise is on the verge of collapse, fans will never come back. you just want to give up being a Cardinals fan after listening to him enough.

  • Major Audio Issues

    Good content and good vibes, but the audio is a real problem. Could be a combination of microphone placement, use of audio compression, and the host starting a sentence at a volume of seven and then trailing off to a mumble at the level of a two. It is maddening. They could please just get the audio to be less ear splitting and then barely Audible in the same sentence, it would be a really big help. Otherwise, good show!

  • Too much Dodger talk

    I think Andrew needs to find or start a Dodger pod. He never shuts up, and he steers everything back to the Dodgers. Also the show could use a producer, who can keep these guys from talking over each other.
