Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 44 ratings
  • Big Fan of Kevin Wheeler

    I’ve been listening to Kevin Wheeler for close to a decade. I really enjoyed his work at 101ESPN, and I was thrilled to see him catch back on with a local station earlier last year. Whenever one of his shows is available in Podcast form, I listen. Sharpest, most level-headed baseball mind out there.

    If Hrabe is not talking baseball, look out. The lack of hockey knowledge immediately stands out, you can tell when someone doesn't care about hockey and only likes the most boring sport on earth baseball.

  • Great resource for Cardinals information

    This is a great recap of those shows, and as an out of town listener, I appreciate the chance to hear the news, interviews and recently the past season recaps. Especially needed in this time w/o games!

Hour 2: Lindenwood Football Coach Jed Stugart joins us, City SC going for an MLS record
Q: Coach, how important is this rivalry to Lindenwood Football and the program's trajectory?

Hour 1 - Jacob Cersosimo, Jen Siess
Q: What's your overall takeaway from what you've seen from the Blues so far this season?

Hour 1: Bernie Miklasz talks Cardinals "Next Steps"
Q: Anything I jump out at you real quickly, just about what we've seen in the postseason so far over the first day and a half?
Bernie responds by analyzing series shifts, noting how bullpen usage and late-game decisions have altered expectations, and offering his take on how small-market teams can compete through development and smart moves rather than big payrolls.
Hour 2: Investigation Journalist on Arizona St. & Blues prospect Matthew Mayich
Q: What happened on August 20th during ASU's first day of class that led to Mayich's condition?
The workout reportedly involved a Green Beret-coached session that escalated in intensity, leading to Mayich collapsing, with conflicting accounts about whether it was a harsh workout or a standard training exercise.
Hour 1: Bernie Miklasz on Oli Marmol's comments, series in Colorado, upcoming HOF celebration
Q: What is your take on the Marmol and youth movement, and how do you see it shaping the team's future?
