Will Leitch made his first trip to Busch Stadium this year, and he found himself flabbergasted by how much the gameday experience had been allowed to degrade. He and Bernie Miklasz discuss the Cardinals feeling like an old abandoned skating rink, while praising Victor Scott II and Michael McGreevy.

Also, don't forget our book event for Will's next novel at Left Bank Books on June 26. Fun!

Bernie MIklasz and Will Leitch start our show with a look back at the career of Walt Jocketty, the former Cardinals general manager who died last week. Jocketty is in many ways the orchestrator of the Cardinals success over a 30 year stretch, and he's indicative of what the Cardinals have lost. They also discuss Carlos Marmol's bullpen usage and what should be reasonably expected from this team.

The Cardinals looked very solid in series wins over the Phillies and Astros, but boy, did it go sideways on them in Flushing. The Mets swept a four-game series over the weekend, and Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch run down what went wrong and how frustrated Cardinals fans should be. We also debate Thomas Saggese vs. Michael Siani and how Oliver Marmol is handling this team.

The Cardinals had a bad series in Pittsburgh (but beat Paul Skenes) and then had a great one against the Phillies. And Pedro Pages played second base. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch run down the Cardinals hitters, debate the switch to a six-man rotation and announce a book event for Will's next novel at Left Bank Books on June 26. Fun!

The Cardinals have gone 1-5 since we left you, which is worrisome because they haven't stopped hitting. But boy, that pitching. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch praise hitting coach Brant Brown and even manager Oli Marmol, but wow, they have plenty to say about Miles Mikolas. Yikes.

Hey, hey, the Cardinals are 3-0! Look at that! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch talk about the Cardinals' darned-near-perfect start to the season, what worked against the Twins, and how Lars Nootbaar is very much at the center of all of it. They also answer a dad's question about which jersey he should buy for his kid, which is a catnip question for Will. Fun times! Baseball can be fun! Who knew?

There is baseball THIS THURSDAY. The season begins, Opening Day is upon us, and Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch dig into it all, including the very encouraging news that Victor Scott II will be the Day One centerfielder and Matthew Liberatore will be in the rotation. We then discuss what we should expect from this season, and we even make some predictions in the process. Also! Bernie has a lot of exciting stuff happening! We discuss that too! But he's still here for Seeing Red. We hope you are too.

There's too much negativity out there! We're going to do some #happytalk. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch preview the Cardinals season by trying to be explicitly optimistic: What's the best-case scenario for this Cardinals team? What are we excited about? What should FANS be excited about? It's the Happy Talk show! It's spring! We're living in a magical land of sunshine! (For now. And probably not for very long.)
