Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast

"Meet me at Musial" is a trademark of St. Louis, where the Musial statue is a rallying point. Every week, two far-flung fans virtually "meet at Musial" to go over the latest in Cardinal news and discussion. Daniel Shoptaw (@C70, from Arkansas) and Allen Medlock (@amedlock1, Oklahoma) prove that great Cardinal talk can come anywhere in Cardinal Nation when you meet up to discuss your favorite team.

Another week of St. Louis Cardinals baseball is off the calendar and Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are here on a rare Friday afternoon to talk about it. The Cards drop three in Seattle and while that technically impacted their playoff chances, they've been infinitesimal for a while. The guys talk about recent roster moves, how the John Mozeliak legacy might be looked at in retrospect, and the aggressive (or is it?) movemen...

After another Cardinals beatdown, Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) get together to talk the week that was and the winter that could be. What will be the first indication that the club is becoming less risk averse? How will Chaim Bloom be able to work within ownership limitations? Was the public discussion of Jordan Walker by the coaching staff helpful or disturbing? Will we be seeing some of the big names again this season?...

The Cardinals may have made more news outside of actual games than on the field this week. (Well, some of it was on the field, but not game action.) The promotion of Jimmy Crooks and Cesar Prieto caused some stirs and Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about how these guys can fit into the puzzle. Before that, though, they talk about what a rebuild means and how things might look under Chaim Bloom this winter. There's al...

It was a better week of Cardinals baseball but, after the Rockies and Yankees series, that's a low bar. The Cardinals have a weird Saturday off day but Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) are here to talk about what they've seen this week and how that informs their thoughts on the future. For instance, is there any chance Miles Mikolas returns? What does the rotation look like next year? Are we too attached to some of these hi...

You'd think beating the Cubs and Dodgers would make for some momentum, but the Cards let that all slip away by losing a series to the Rockies. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about this roller-coaster of a team, trying to get a handle on it. They talk about the lack of offense and what might be done about it, who might not be a Cardinal in 2026, and what the approach of the front office might be. Plus Rich (@remembirds...

Even if the Cardinals were in a pennant race, the return of Yadier Molina to the dugout would have been big news. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the return of the legend, how that impacted the feel of Friday night's game, and what that means for his future. The guys also talk a lot about the front office and their approach to 2026 plus the future of Nolan Arenado. Come join us! Learn more about your ad choices. ...

The trade deadline has come and gone and for the second time in three years, the Cardinals have focused on sending players away rather than bringing players in. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) don't get too much into what the return was because there are much better prospect evaluators out there. Instead, they talk about what the deadline means for the rest of the year, what it means for this offseason, and how the next coup...

With the trade deadline looming, there were plenty of topics for Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) to touch on in this week's show. Does the rebound against the Padres at all negate the stumbles against the Diamondbacks and Rockies? Will the Cardinals be tempted to not sell? Plus the guys touch on the sort-of-surprising-but-not-really release of Erick Fedde. Then they tackle the trade deadline, wondering what the return on s...

It's the pause that refreshes. Or, if you are like Allen (@amedlock1), the pause that drives you crazy. Baseball took its annual hiatus this week to put on the All-Star festivities. That part Allen liked, though Daniel (@C70) had his old man grumbles with it, but the lack of Cardinals baseball has been notable. Do the next 65 games matter or does the season really come down to the next six? The guys talk about the direction...

The end of the nominal "first half" of the Cardinals' 2025 season came on Sunday and to mark the occasion, we mixed our Gateway in with our Musial. David Jones (@iPopEditor) joins Allen (@amedlock1) and Daniel (@C70) to break down the first pick of the draft for St. Louis and all the various repercussions of the selection. Then Daniel and Allen spend time talking about the end of the first part of the season and what they are loo...

No, there aren't any actual stars in this one, just Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talking baseball on the Fourth of July. The Cardinals hit the highs and the lows of the roller coaster this week, sweeping the Guardians while not scoring against the Pirates. Where does that leave the team? There's more trade deadline talk, especially about Steven Matz and Ryan Helsley. Could the Cardinals even try to make room for JJ Weth...

With Allen (@amedlock1) kicking back on an Hawaiian beach, Daniel (@C70) sits down with Eugene Tucker (@I_am_not_Eugene) to talk about all things Cardinals. The guys dive into Eugene's Substack and how the 100th anniversary of the Cardinals inspired it, then talk more about the week that was. The focus is on the Cubs series split and the emotions that come out of that. Is Pete Crow-Armstrong the newest Cub we love to hate? What...

A sweep of the White Sox helped salvage a week that started with a series loss to the Brewers. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the historic nature of it with Steven Matz, Nolan Arenado, and Andre Granillo. The guys talk about Victor Scott and his sputtering offense and how the club can get Nolan Gorman into the lineup regularly while he's going strong. Plus the guys look ahead to the important homestand starting ...

After 22 straight weeks of great guests, the best part of the show is back. Allen (@amedlock1) settles back into the co-host chair with an update on how his season went and Daniel (@C70) talks briefly about Blogger Day before the guys dive into a spiraling Cardinals team. Is it time to panic? What's going wrong, what's going right? Does it even make sense to think about the trade deadline? All that plus Rich (@remembirds) brin...

With Allen Medlock (@amedlock1) beginning his warmup tosses, Daniel (@C70) brings in Musial veteran Alex Crisafulli (@alexcards79.bsky.social) to talk about the current run of the Cardinals. Where else can you hear Craig Paquette get name dropped, the 2004 Cardinals referenced, and Brendon Donovan tied to Tommy Pham? Plus there's some classic old man rants in here as well and more All-Star talk than you'd expect at the end of May...

As Allen Medlock (@amedlock1) gets closer to returning, Daniel (@C70) adds some new guests to the rotation. Tom and Jon are cohosts of St. Louis Cardinals: Beyond the HOF - Saluting Unsung Heroes, a Cardinals history podcast that looks at some players that can get overlooked at times. The guys talk about how they met up to do the show, how they get their guests, and which moments have stuck out to them so far. The current team...

As the Cardinals continue to pile up wins and make noise in the NL Central, Daniel (@C70) talks it over with Richard McGill (@RichardMcGill89). The two talk about their own birds leaving the nest before getting into the Cards flying high. How long will it last? Should we talking about the trade deadline? How should the club juggle Ivan Herrera and the rest of the catching corps? Plus a little look at the upcoming draft. Come...

As the Cardinals put the finishing touches on their sixth win in a row, Daniel (@C70) sits down with Josh Jacobs (@joshjaco98) to talk about a team that, at the moment, looks pretty good. The offense is clicking and got Ivan Herrera back, even though he's not currently behind the plate. Will that change? John Mozeliak said that the runway for Nolan Gorman and Jordan Walker isn't infinite. How does that impact the two going forw...

We've got a month of baseball under our belts and who better to talk about the highs and lows but the men of the Cardinals Off Day podcast? The Bens Godar (bengodar.bsky.social) and Humphrey (bgh.bsky.social) join Daniel (@C70) to talk about how things are going with the Cardinals. How much runway will Nolan Gorman and Jordan Walker really get? Who has stood out offensively? Can we say nice things about Miles Mikolas? All that...

It's always a treat when minor league guru Kyle Reis (@kyler416) makes an appearance on the show. Not one of those store brand kind of treats, but one of those homemade ones that might turn out a little off and it'll make a mess all over the kitchen. Daniel (@C70) plays straight man, trying to keep a dog-focused Kyle talking about the Cardinals' bullpen situation and the emergence of Victor Scott II. Plus there's the expected ru...
