Talking #stlcards since 2007. Podcasting at Meet Me at Musial and Gateway to Baseball Heaven. Writing mainly at Substack. I used to say I was a blogging, tweeting, Christian baseball man but time has tweaked the first two terms. Known to occasionally pun.

EVERYBODY has something to say about the trade of Brendan Donovan and the #stlcards take in prospects and draft picks, but NOBODY says it like Kyle Reis! We cover this and all the week's news on the Wednesday With Walton and Reis podcast. thecardinalnation.com/wednesday-wi...

Good thing you elaborated because "Really good piece by @daynperry.bsky.social" doesn't narrow it down any.

No word if the bat will stay on his shoulder on the plaque as well.

From what I've heard, a lot of those savings are getting plowed back into the development side of things. In other words, the DeWitts will be laying out a similar amount of money, just not in the same places.

He will definitely hook into the fan base.

This would have been a great time for Meet Me at Musial to meet up with Meet At The Mitt.

Cards listed him as a RHP in the press release. Seattle was going to shift him that way before the deal.

Crazy what that could spawn.

I don't know, agreeing with Dans can be risky business.

All Hail the Conquering Hero Chaim Bloom pulls off a trade unlike any the Cardinals have seen before.

Thoughts about the #stlcards busy day, one like they've never really seen before. open.substack.com/pub/cardinal...

I can understand why you feel like that. I donโ€™t think I agree, especially since it seems to have been his idea to bring in Bloom, but I definitely canโ€™t say that for sure.

02.02.2026 04:17 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Maybe. I guess it depends on if the DeWitts had the mindset they have now.

Miles might have gotten a contract offer but not the QO.

A quiet week for the #stlcards but David and I find things to talk about anyway. How different would this winter have been with Mo in charge--if at all? That and much more! gatewaytbh.podbean.com/e/gtbh-2126-...

I can't remember if Endgame had that or not. Might have.

I've typically stuck with those that have blogging/podcasting background. It honestly usually makes recording a show a little easier when someone that knows the ropes. That said, I probably should consider looking at things differently in the future.

There's less of them around! @katiejwoo.bsky.social left us for LA--she's usually on the list. I do get set in my ways but I don't know that there are any #stlcards female podcasters right now. I miss my friend Tara!

Scattered in there may be some Conversations with other bloggers about their teams as the season gets underway. Lots of great talk coming your way, assuming you can ignore the host!

April, the first month of the season, should find us talking with Kyle Reis, @remembirds.bsky.social, Josh Jacobs, and @woodbat28.bsky.social.

When we flip the calendar to March, we've got scheduled @daynperry.bsky.social, @benclemens.bsky.social, our good friends from @cardinalsoffday.bsky.social, and those knuckleheads from @talkingaboutbirds.bsky.social as the season gets started.

Next week we'll have The Cat joining us, followed by @bmiklasz.bsky.social, @b-walton.bsky.social, and @mrplaztastic.bsky.social in February as we roll into spring training.

I'd start a Slack if I thought it'd be effective, but I'm in @daynperry.bsky.social's slack and I keep forgetting to check it.
