  • The Absolute Best

    Randy and the crew do it better than anyone! I'm so glad he's found an outlet for his wealth of knowledge, spot-on insights, and all the other talents he brings as a broadcaster. Keep up the great work, everybody and THANK YOU!

    Note: if the ongoing audio issues could be cleaned up, that'd be super helpful.

    Tone/volume/audio quality inconsistencies often make it really hard to tune in.

    Lots of the issues seem to come from difficulty staying on mic; maybe have headsets with mics built in?

    That said, please don't invite Bernie Miklasz on as a guest. He's a terrific write, but is such an insufferable broadcaster.

    Without the guardrails/constraints of a physical newspaper (which no longer exists for him, I realize), he's incapable of having a baseball conv... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why NOBODY Can Stop Talking About This Cardinals Rookie! | Paul "Hembo" Hembekides Interview
Q: Is Jordan Walker's sustainable improvement more plausible than not, given the changes in his approach and posture?
Yes, because the improvements are not merely about bat speed but about the quality of at-bats, posture, and ground-based energy transfer, which suggest a durable upgrade in his baseline performance rather than a short-term fluctuation.
Why NOBODY Can Stop Talking About This Cardinals Rookie! | Paul "Hembo" Hembekides Interview
Q: So with that being the case, because we've tried to come up with comps here, and obviously you've gone into his first couple of months, we understand small sample size, but is there a comp out there for JJ?
I wrote down two comps for JJ Wetherholt: one more aggressive and one a bit less so, with Ben Zobrist as the less aggressive comparison, highlighting a switch-hitter who can play multiple positions, contribute on defense, run well, and maintain above-average hitting while providing value across the board.
Take It or Leave It: Surprise Cardinals Edition | The Return of John Denton
Q: What is your take on the Cardinals finishing below 500 this year?
Vegas has them under 500; Randy agrees, citing rotation health concerns, the depth questions at catcher, and the need for consistency to avoid a sell-off later in the season.
St. Louis Cardinals: What's a Best-Case/Worst-Case for 2026? | Army Steps Down as Canada GM
Q: If Velasquez or Baez steps up, how might that shift impact Walker and Gorman's roles?
If Baez or Velasquez delivers, it could push Walker or Gorman to different spots in the order or reduce pressure on them to carry the lineup, potentially creating a more balanced offense with multiple threat levels.
Which Cardinals Player's Spring is REAL? | Pitcher List Analyst Nate Schwartz Breaks down Libby, Fitts & Walker
Q: How do you interpret Liberatore's changeup usage this spring and what does it mean for his development?
Liberatore is experimenting to find reliable offerings against right-handed hitters, with the changeup and slider becoming key weapons that could unlock his overall pitching if location and consistency improve.
