00:00:00
what's up everybody Charlie Marlo here
00:00:02
want to talk a little bit about the
00:00:04
Cardinals and I want to hear from you
00:00:05
guys as well I'm I'm curious about your
00:00:09
interest in the Cardinals right now in
00:00:12
the last what three weeks of the season
00:00:15
because I just want to be honest with
00:00:17
you guys I always try to be very very
00:00:20
honest I just find it really hard to be
00:00:23
interested in this team right now and
00:00:25
it's not all the Cardinals fault but a
00:00:29
lot of it is the Cardinals fault I know
00:00:31
the Cardinals they're not even that bad
00:00:34
what entering the day one game above 500
00:00:36
it's not like they suck like they did
00:00:39
last year it's just it's hard for me to
00:00:42
be excited about the last month or so
00:00:45
when uh you know there's there's
00:00:47
essentially a0 per chance of them making
00:00:50
the playoffs I looked before I uh
00:00:52
recorded this video I think it's three%
00:00:55
chance of making the postseason and I'll
00:00:57
just say as a baseball guy I've always
00:01:00
been I mean since I was a little kid
00:01:02
I've always loved baseball more than any
00:01:05
other Sport and there's nothing better
00:01:08
than a September playoff push getting
00:01:11
people excited even if you don't make
00:01:12
the playoffs think about some of those
00:01:14
years some of the methi years at the end
00:01:17
I think the first Shi year even those
00:01:20
years September was really exciting when
00:01:22
they didn't make the playoffs because
00:01:25
correct me if I'm wrong guys I feel like
00:01:27
they they missed out in the playoffs all
00:01:29
those years
00:01:30
in the final week of the Season
00:01:32
sometimes the final weekend of the
00:01:34
season I remember that year that uh shil
00:01:38
took over I think they started that week
00:01:41
I remember doing a live shot at Bush
00:01:43
Stadium where I feel like they had
00:01:45
something like a 60 70% chance of making
00:01:47
the playoffs on the Monday or Tuesday of
00:01:50
that final week and then they kind of
00:01:52
crapped the bed maybe went like one and
00:01:54
five or two and four correct me if I'm
00:01:55
wrong it's something like that that was
00:01:57
the first shilt year so I guess that was
00:02:00
the year meeni was fired there but uh I
00:02:05
don't know it's it's not all on the
00:02:07
Cardinals though because also I think
00:02:08
look I'm no longer in TV I'm no longer
00:02:10
doing everyday radio where we talk about
00:02:12
the Cardinals on a daily basis I
00:02:14
obviously don't cover the team like I
00:02:16
used
00:02:17
to when I was working in TV but I mean
00:02:19
we have this channel here where we're
00:02:21
doing Cardinals content trying to almost
00:02:23
every day or several times per week
00:02:27
hoping and trying to do it at least
00:02:29
every uh
00:02:30
weekday and another thing is that I'm
00:02:32
just being I'm being completely truthful
00:02:35
I I feel like look if you're if you're
00:02:37
in the content creation business where
00:02:39
you're trying to make money off content
00:02:41
there's not a ton of interest in the
00:02:43
Cardinals right now and you're you're
00:02:45
trying to make an investment in things
00:02:47
where you're going to make money now and
00:02:49
down the road the Cardinals aren't going
00:02:50
to be in the playoffs right October
00:02:52
could be great for interest and content
00:02:55
and videos and people writing and talk
00:02:57
shows and all that they're not going to
00:02:59
make the playoff off uh we'll see what
00:03:01
happens this off season maybe it's
00:03:02
interesting maybe there's some fireworks
00:03:04
maybe something happens with John moso
00:03:05
who knows but even even next year I
00:03:09
don't really feel like this team's going
00:03:10
to be that great next year I feel like
00:03:12
they're going to be kind of the same as
00:03:13
this year
00:03:15
500ish um and by the way so I brought up
00:03:18
the fact I'm no longer working in TV no
00:03:19
longer working in radio so I'm not I'm
00:03:21
not really when I say have to I mean I I
00:03:24
like watching baseball but I don't have
00:03:26
to talk about the Cardinals each and
00:03:27
every day so I don't I don't have to
00:03:29
watch the games I don't have to even
00:03:31
look at the box scores I'm happy when
00:03:32
the Cardinals win I'm happy they won
00:03:34
last night what Ryan H is doing is is
00:03:37
fantastic but also I'm not going to
00:03:38
pretend like they're going to make the
00:03:39
playoffs I'm not pretending like uh I'm
00:03:43
I'm really that interested I mean most
00:03:44
Knights I don't even care to turn the
00:03:46
game on I'm just being 100% honest with
00:03:48
you guys because that's what I try to uh
00:03:51
to be on this channel and and again it's
00:03:54
not all in the Cardinals my job
00:03:56
changed um married with two kids doing
00:03:59
kids stuff I'm way more active in the
00:04:01
Kenny Wallace Channel following
00:04:04
NASCAR way more active in this everybody
00:04:06
settle down Channel because politics are
00:04:08
crazy right now and two months till the
00:04:10
election it's it's fun to talk about
00:04:12
that so uh yeah I'll tell you another
00:04:15
thing and I I have kind of evolved on
00:04:17
this as I've gotten older even though I
00:04:20
love baseball baseball being a baseball
00:04:23
fan is a lot of commitment and I want to
00:04:26
say work because it's fun watching
00:04:27
baseball is fun watching a winning
00:04:29
baseball team is is really fun but if
00:04:32
you really want to know what's going on
00:04:33
with the Cardinals you're basically
00:04:35
having to watch about six games a week
00:04:37
for three hours or so you're you're
00:04:39
talking about an investment of time of
00:04:41
of 15 to 20 hours per week that's why
00:04:44
look I didn't grow up a Nascar fan but
00:04:47
the watchability of NASCARs I think it's
00:04:49
another reason football is so popular
00:04:52
football's super popular because of
00:04:53
gambling because of fantasy football and
00:04:55
all that but it's an easy watch it's on
00:04:58
the weekends sat Saturday Sunday if you
00:05:00
like college if you like both if you
00:05:01
have a team whatever it is you can
00:05:03
usually watch your team for that window
00:05:05
for three hours usually on a Sunday
00:05:07
maybe Thursday maybe Monday whatever it
00:05:09
is but it's once a week you can you can
00:05:11
be 100% dialed in for that three hours
00:05:14
and then you can go back to work stuff
00:05:17
with your kids family all that and then
00:05:19
you got a game the following week that's
00:05:20
why I'm telling you NASCAR is a fun easy
00:05:24
manageable watch if you're just watching
00:05:26
the cup series guys it's basically 4
00:05:29
hours on a Sunday and you can watch some
00:05:32
of the pre-race festivities and
00:05:34
pageantry and then maybe take a break
00:05:36
you got stages you tune in you watch the
00:05:39
last 5 10 15 laps of a stage do
00:05:42
something come back watch the last 5 10
00:05:44
15 laps of stage two Boom come back
00:05:47
watch the last 30 laps where it's always
00:05:48
super exciting Bing Bang Boom you've
00:05:51
invested three four hours total but
00:05:54
really you can kind of do stuff around
00:05:55
the house and you can rewind and all
00:05:57
that and it's it's it's one day and it's
00:06:01
three four hours and baseball is an
00:06:03
everyday commitment but also it's look
00:06:06
the beauty of baseball is that it's on
00:06:08
every night it can be the backdrop of
00:06:11
your spring it can be the backdrop of
00:06:12
your summer it can hopefully be the
00:06:14
backdrop of your fall and into October
00:06:16
well when it becomes October though it's
00:06:19
no longer the backdrop right it becomes
00:06:21
appointment television you want to watch
00:06:23
every night September you want to watch
00:06:25
every playoff game be totally locked in
00:06:28
so I think that's part of the reason I'm
00:06:29
just
00:06:31
I'm not locked in because you know
00:06:32
they're not making the playoffs and uh
00:06:34
it's just been it's been a rough couple
00:06:36
years right 2022 Cardinals were very
00:06:39
interesting Albert phol they make the
00:06:41
playoffs they're playing the Phillies
00:06:43
they're at home great chance of winning
00:06:46
that series they lose it ever since then
00:06:49
2023 was
00:06:50
awful he had a couple bright spots I
00:06:53
mean the whole deal with Adam way W was
00:06:55
a rough watch but then he got his 200
00:06:57
wins and then this off season you think
00:06:59
okay maybe they did enough to to squeak
00:07:01
in the playoffs I don't think anybody
00:07:02
thought they were going to be great so
00:07:04
look most people predicted 82 83 8485
00:07:07
wins which is probably going to be look
00:07:10
right now what they're going to end if
00:07:11
if you if you projected it probably what
00:07:14
83 wins something like that which is
00:07:16
basically what everybody said I think I
00:07:18
said 83 I don't remember I'll go back
00:07:20
after the season I'll go back and and
00:07:23
I'll see how wrong I was I think I'll
00:07:24
probably be close on the win total I
00:07:26
said the offense was going to be a top
00:07:27
10 offense and they've been not even
00:07:29
close to that but I also I think I said
00:07:31
top 10 Bullpen which I believe they
00:07:34
still are and I thought the starting
00:07:36
pitching was going to
00:07:38
be in the 20s of baseball which I'm I'm
00:07:41
guessing they are if you're looking at
00:07:42
ER or or whatever you want to look at
00:07:44
they're probably what around 20th 23rd
00:07:47
24th whatever it is and and we'll do
00:07:49
that all I've done it throughout the
00:07:50
season I haven't checked in the last
00:07:51
three four days but I'm sure it hasn't
00:07:52
changed much the offense which most
00:07:55
people thought was going to be good or
00:07:57
really good just wasn't Bullpen I think
00:07:59
was about what you thought it was
00:08:01
starting pitching maybe you thought
00:08:03
there was a little more upside and they
00:08:04
could be middle of the middle of the
00:08:06
road uh they've been relatively bad
00:08:09
overall I think that's fair to say
00:08:10
probably again probably somewhere in the
00:08:11
20s if you're looking at some of the
00:08:14
data stats analytics whatever you want
00:08:16
to call it so there you go Day game I
00:08:19
will probably turn it on I'll be doing
00:08:21
stuff around the house I do all my my
00:08:23
work off the laptop now for all the
00:08:26
YouTube stuff so it'll probably be on
00:08:27
the background but I don't know I want
00:08:30
to hear from you guys are you guys like
00:08:31
me but also I didn't grow up a Cardinals
00:08:33
fan specifically right but I love
00:08:36
baseball and I do like the Cardinals and
00:08:38
I root for them I love going to these to
00:08:40
these uh Day games during the weekday
00:08:44
especially but I just have no interest
00:08:46
in going today and I feel like I have a
00:08:47
group of friends that like to go down
00:08:49
sometimes and nobody really wants to go
00:08:51
these days which is sad so I don't know
00:08:54
I'm I'm just being honest I'm not trying
00:08:55
to be all doom and gloom I'm just I'm
00:08:57
just honestly telling you guys that that
00:08:59
