High Noon

We have the sound from Scott Rolen and Fred McGriff's HOF induction in Cooperstown over the weekend. Amongst a number of wholesome comments from Scott Rolen about his family and his career, we can't help but have a little bit of fun and speculate about whether or not he took a shot at modern day analytics in baseball.

Tom Schwarz hosts STL United on Sunday mornings right here on 590 The Fan. Get a taste of his style of soccer conversation with his hit on High Noon.

H Balzer has been putting in some of his best work all offseason long where there were minimal topics of discussion for our weekly segment. Now that training camp is approaching, there will be so many headlines Howard won't even know what to do with all of them!

Some numbskull from ESPN seemingly had no clue that George Brett was an MVP an all-league 3B prior to his infamous incident with the pine tar. Bob Nightengale of USA Today (who has appeared on this show on occasion) wrote an article revealing some information about how MLB teams may strategize around the trade deadline, including the Cardinals.

On Mondays we like to link up with Lindenwood! Our great friend Jed Stugart joins us for the first time in a while as we get ready for football season! It's right around the corner.

Brian Harman didn't allow us to watch a competitive tournament over the weekend at Royal Liverpool, but that's okay because that's not his job. If anybody was starting to drink the kool-aid on the Cardinals possibly playing themselves out of being sellers at the deadline, that dream is dead and gone. Our longtime friend Taylor Motter is back in the big leagues! Why? Who knows.

Jake and Justin are back in-studio alongside Nate and Cole for a little weekend preview of STL City SC! You're not going to find many people who can discuss the game quite like these two.

Whenever golf is in the news we go to our guy Cam Rogers for analysis of the field. Cam gives us his opinions on what to look out for, and he's also a betting expert.

The great Harold Reynolds went on Chris Russo's show to discuss Fred McGriff ahead of his HOF induction, and it reminds us of what a great player he was. Man, could the Cardinals use a player like him in their lineup!

The locals appear to be having an identity crisis. Cardinals fans, as well as the media, are struggling with their perspective on the past couple weeks of baseball relative to the full season. Nate sets ALL of St. Louis straight on this issue.

Some people are calling Lane Kiffin a hypocrite for his comments at SEC media days regarding how players are allowed to handle their collegiate careers relative to how Lane has handled his coaching career. The High Nooners don't think those criticisms are necessarily fair.

Lars Nootbaar is a solid player for the Cardinals. We know that. But is his reputation better than his actual future with this organization? That's the dilemma! Nate argues that it may be beneficial to capitalize on his reputation right now.

Mad Dog Russo had his best Mad About segment on First Take yet! He brought fantastic conversation topics to the table that we take off and run with.

It's here! We've got another major tournament going down in golf! Nate and Rammer get excited as Round 1 began this morning overseas.

Once upon a time, kids could go out and run around and do whatever the heck they wanted without their parents really worrying about their well-being. Now? Not so much. Did creeps exist back in the day, or are they a new phenomenon? Nate won't allow himself near an elementary school. The Cardinals pick up another win despite a questioning lineup move in the OF by Oli. Are we going to allow ourselve...

Marcus Seidel can be heard every Wednesday in the 2:00 hour dishing out knowledge on the world of health and fitness. Today, Nate and Marcus try to restore masculinity in America as the progressive movement appears to be trying to bury it in the sand!

Lars Nootbaar is an interesting cat on this Cardinals team. What was his trade value in the offseason during the Sean Murphy negotiations, and what is his value now? We have a major golf tournament this week!

Anthony Di Marco is going to become a regular contributor to this radio program for hockey talk! We are pleased to have him on the show again, and we encourage you all to check out his work with the 4th Period!

Hey! Dak Hudson is back on the bump in a starting role for the Birds. What are our expectations for him? The Cardinals made a ridiculous declaration (as they've been known to do), and we try to correct it as the group of wannabe brain trust members that we are.

An old/new friend stopped by in Corey Schondorst. Corey discusses his involvement in various organizations in the community involving military and first responders, and you can learn more at chasing-dreams.org when it launches. You can also visit stlheronetwork.org and archwayscholarship.org

Corey Schonhorst is a new friend of Nate's and a business partner with our good buddy Reed Low. Corey's been around the block in this city, including in the radio business, and he has some great stories about being in the business and how career paths change.

Today's Twitter Tuesday features an NBA player that isn't being held accountable, an old rumor about a baseball player from 2005, Colin Cowherd calling out sports fans on their potential hypocrisy, Craig Carton's big idea for Shohei Ohtani, football people defending Pat Fitzgerald, Carson Wentz being criticized for being a hunter and more!

Somewhere along the way in our trade deadline conversation, we stumble across old trades made in the Mozeliak era. More specifically, we rehash the Stephen Piscotty trade to Oakland.

We only get riled up a littttttttle bit as we put on our GM caps and try to put our spin on the direction of the organization. The Cardinals, whether explicitly or implicitly, are telling us what's going to happen with the future of the organization. Listen in for analysis and wisdom.

The Cardinals have had some embarrassing and childish celebrations this year, but they are far from alone in that category. But yes, the peppergrinder and the burger phone are among the worst, like, ever.
