    Nov 25 2024

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. Actually, due to many different circumstances, it's been about a month since Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) have been able to sit down and talk about the Cardinals. Not a lot has changed, though there has been some news. What do we make of Sonny Gray and Willson Contreras wanting to stay while Nolan Arenado is open to leaving? Was last year's trade deadline a bust? Do the Rule 5 protection picks tell us something about the new front office focus? All that and more!

    Oct 28 2024

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. The World Series is going on, and while Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk a bit about it, the Cardinals made some news of their own this week. What will Rob Cerfolio bring to the table from the Cleveland organization? What does this hire say about Chaim Bloom? Can Brant Brown make an impact on these hitters? Is there a risk? All that, some really bad jokes, and a tribute to a fallen STL radio show in this episode!

  • GTBH 10/21/24: All Rise for The Federalist
    Oct 22 2024

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. It's been quiet, which means Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) have to cast a wider net to find topics. Does the fact that Tommy Edman was NLCS MVP for the Dodgers mean that trade should go with the other trades of questionable vintage? What does the World Series matchup tell us and is it a good one? Jon Jay is back and Willie McGee steps aside. How much will that matter? A little conversation in the quiet time!

    Oct 8 2024

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. A week out from that important press conference, it was a little quieter for the Cards. That doesn't mean Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) don't have things to talk about. The Cards have cut ties with hitting coach Turner Ward. What are the ramifications of that? How much was he to blame? There was also news on the broadcast front, with the potential of Diamond Sports dropping the team. Will it happen? Should it? It's a nice calm show after last week's chaos, so check it out!

  • GTBH 9/30/24: A New Era Blooms For The Cardinals
    Oct 1 2024

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. The season is over for the Redbirds and while Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) pause to address that a bit, the big news was the press conference held by ownership on Monday. The Chaim Bloom era is getting started with a focus on player development before taking on John Mozeliak's job in 2026. What else came out of the presser? How much credit or blame should Mo get? Where does ownership sit in all of this? What's this winter going to look like? It's a double-sized version of Gateway so come join the conversation!

  • GTBH 9/22/24: The End Is Near
    Sep 23 2024

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. At least Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) don't have to try to talk about the White Sox every week, so there are silver linings to everything. After marveling at those 120 losses, the guys get into what's going on with the Cardinals and what needs to change for next year. Does falling short of 3 million fans ring alarm bells? Do the words of Willson Contreras carry any weight? If the Cardinals were going to spend money, would we trust them to do it right? All this plus instant reaction to the firing of David Bell!

  • GTBH 9/15/24: Pick a Lane
    Sep 16 2024

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. After a disappointing weekend in Canada, the Cards sit a game under .500 with just two weeks left to salvage something from 2024. Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) think the team can win some games but the real work seems to need to come from a front office that increasingly feels like they are throwing things at the wall. The discussion frames around center field, though other examples are in there as well. Should the club be playing the kids already? What needs to be the focus for a front office that might not be here in 2025? Can anything be done about hitting with runners in scoring position? A free-wheeling chat that you are invited to join!

  • GTBH 9/8/24: Miles To Go
    Sep 9 2024

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. After another very rough outing by Miles Mikolas, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) try to figure out his place on the team and how likely it is he'll be finishing out his contract in 2025. Gary Larocque stepped down as Director of Player Development this week. How important is this hire and what signs could we get from how they fill the role? The guys also talk about Paul Goldschmidt and finish up with a good and a bad category for the Cards this season.
