  • 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.

  • The Prospect Experts

    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!
