Welcome back to the Redbird Rundown!

Matt and Jonathan are joined by Kaden Joggerst for a fun round of “Buy or Sell” as we break down performances across the Cardinals roster.

From hot starts to frustrating slumps, we’re discussing which players we’re truly buying into—and which ones we’re selling moving forward. Who has earned our confidence?

Who still has something to prove? And which performances could have the biggest impact on the Cardinals season?

We’re putting our takes on the line and debating some of the biggest storylines surrounding the roster right now.

Tune in and play along with us: Buy or Sell?

This week, we are joined by the one and only Katie Woo of The Athletic to preview the highly anticipated Cardinals vs. Dodgers series.

After five years on the St. Louis beat, Katie made the jump to Los Angeles, and she joins the crew to break down the massive contrast between these two historic franchises. We dive deep into the "Dynasty vs. Rebuild" debate: Can the Cardinals' new identity of "gritty, exhausting baseball" actually compete with the $700 million "glitz and glams" of the Dodgers?

In this episode, we discuss:

• The "Hollywood" Life: Katie addresses her transition to LA, her aggressive new driving habits, and why she still misses those Busch Stadium press box pretzels.

• Shohei Ohtani & The Dodgers: What it’s actually like to cover the "Beatles of Baseball" and why there’s no ego in the star-studded LA clubhouse.

• The Chaim Bloom Era: Katie's perspective on the Cardinals' front office shift and why she believes the "Runway" (we mean, rebuild) is heading in the right direction.

• Young Core vs. Veteran Stars: Analysis of Jordan Walker’s growth and the pressure (or lack thereof) on the Cardinals' young roster.

• Series Preview: Which pitching matchups to watch and why Katie is leaning "Dodger Stadium" for the views, but "Busch Stadium" for the vibes.

Whether you're here for the high-level MLB analysis or the heated debate over the St. Louis Arch vs. the Hollywood Sign, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

Welcome back to the Redbird Rundown!

Jonathan and Matt are joined by Benjamin Hochman to break down the Cardinals’ rotation in a way you’ve probably never seen before—The Pitching Trust Pie.

Each of us gets 100% of a pie and has to divide it among the Cardinals starters based on one thing: who we trust the most for the rest of the season. Not who’s been the best. Not who has the best stats. Just… who do you believe in?

With another round of starts happening before this episode goes live, there’s a real chance these takes age incredibly well… or horribly wrong.

Either way, we’re all in.
