  • Found you!

    A must for anyone interested in the Cardinals minor league system. I had lost Brian and Kyle since their audio moved from the Scoops network. I didn’t realize the podcast was here and am so happy to have found it. The guys do great work without taking themselves too seriously.

    If you want to know about the Cardinals minor league system, these guys were great individually but they combine into an unstoppable force. I feel for Brian trying to even somewhat controlling Kyle but there is no better source for prospect info than here!
