My Own Method (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Cardinals are officially eliminated, so Nate and Ben start making peace with a season that — against every expectation — still counts as a success. They dig into the bullpen that sank it, the Michael McGreevy puzzle (no strikeouts, sub-4 ERA), Jordan Walker's career-best breakout and the defensive metrics that somehow hate him, and the home/road splits that make Busch look haunted. Plus an incredible Costco piano story, Nolan Arenado catching fire in the desert, Quinn Mathews pitching his wa
Look at These Guys (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina went into the Cardinals Hall of Fame together, and Nate and Ben get appropriately misty about a pairing we'll probably never see again. Then they celebrate the young core carrying September — Thomas Saggese's breakout, Leo Bernal's Yadi vibes, and another Josh Baez feat of strength — plus Mason Miller's absurd reliever season and why relievers deserve their own award. Also: a deeply important debate about eating horse, Ben's 24-hour LARP-themed endurance race, Ell
Not Funny, Doug (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Umpire Doug Eddings picked the wrong night to make it about himself. Nate and Ben break down his meltdown against a rookie, Oli Marmol's now-legendary response, and what it all says about accountability and robot umps. Then, with the Cardinals down to a 0.2% playoff shot, they look at the bright side: Leo Bernal raking, Cooper Hjerpe's dazzling debut, and Gordon Graceffo turning into the bullpen's best arm with one new pitch. Plus White Sox and Giants previews, a genuinely bad American League, a
Curse of the TABino (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The curse rolls on: the podcast is haunted, the Cardinals keep losing players, and JJ Wetherholt is the latest to hit the IL. Nate and Ben map out the team's slim 2.5% path to October, make the full-throated case that JJ is getting robbed in the Rookie of the Year race, and marvel at Josh Baez's absurd swing metrics. Plus a wave of call-ups led by Leo Bernal taking over behind the plate. In league news, Arte Moreno sells the Angels for a record sum, the Rays' stadium saga inches forward, and exp
The Haunting of TAB House (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The show is cursed. Last week's audio came out haunted, three Cardinals hit the IL in a matter of days, and Nate and Ben have made peace with the grudge ghost now living in the podcast. Between hauntings they cover a tired, banged-up team still hanging around the wild card: Masyn Winn's season-ending thumb, Josh Baez's wildly unlucky start, and a Kyle Leahy who's quietly pitched like an ace for two months. Down on the farm, Rainiel Rodriguez keeps mashing, and the Cardinals now have baseball's s
