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.

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...

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.

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 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...

As the Cards drop a heartbreaker to the Mets, Daniel (@C70) talks it over with Nate from Talking About Birds (talkingaboutbirds.com). The guys talk about some of the frustrations about the bullpen, rave over Brendan Donovan's start, and then get into some of the other issues of the day. What are the Cardinals doing with Nolan Gorman? What happens when Masyn Winn returns next week? Is having a "defensive closer" really what the c...

With the Cardinals starting their second homestand, Daniel (@C70) breaks it down with Ben Clemens (Fangraphs, @benclemens.bsky.social). What does Ben think about how this team is constructed? Could the club develop pitching in time to take advantage of the offense? Does the front office intrigue really matter? All that plus a brief spin around the rest of the league.

A week of baseball and the Cardinals are....good? At least not bad? Daniel (@C70) talks it over with Kelsey Burd (@kburdtweets.bsky.social) and the two try to get a grip on what's happening with the Cardinals. You mean that an offense can be exciting? That you don't have to have three hits to score a run? This is going to take some getting used to. They talk about the pitching, which hasn't been quite as exciting as the offen...

It's either a double header or a split squad game, take your pick! In the first half, Daniel (@C70) sits down with Twins beat writer Matthew Leach (@matthewhleach.bsky.social). Twins beat writer is hard to come to terms with as Matthew was the Cardinals beat writer for MLB.com until 2011. They talk about Matthew's journey back to beat writing, how the Twins are looking, and his thoughts about the state of the Cardinals from the ...

We thought this day would never come. After a closed wallet winter, the Cardinals finally dipped their toes into the free agent pool, signing local boy Phil Maton to a one year deal. Daniel (@C70) breaks it all down with Dayn Perry (Birdy Work, @daynperry.bsky.social). Granted, there's not a lot to break down, so the guys also get into the spring training results, who has surprised, and some of the upcoming subplots of the 2024 ...

Jordan Walker avoided injury this week but are there still concerns about him? How surprising is it that some young guys have already been sent down while others are sti...

The guys talk about the quiet winter, what it was like for Jason not to worry over budget spreadsheets, and where the Cardinals have gone wrong (and where they've gone right!) over the last few years.
