  • GTBH 4/28/24: This Week Was Not Offensive

    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 Cardinals won both series they played this week and were one strike away from getting a sweep at CitiField.  That doesn't mean everything is sunshine and roses for Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor).  There's no doubt that the bullpen has been remarkable and the starting pitching more stout than expected, but where are the bats?  Why can't they seem to find a groove?  We know where Jordan Walker is--at Memphis, trying to find his stroke.  Was that the right move?  All this and much more!

  • GTBH 4/21/24: The Kyle Gibson Episode

    Two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) have real concerns about the offense of the Cardinals and how things are trending in a very similar direction as last year.  There's no solutions here, but before we get to the concerns and complaints, David had a chance to interview Kyle Gibson (@kgib44) earlier this week.  So listen to that and then maybe stick around for two grumps.  We also had some recording glitches, so we like the Cardinals also had trouble making contact.

  • GTBH 4/14/24: Second Verse Same as the First?

    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 downer of a series in Arizona puts the Cardinals exactly where they were at this point last season, something that does not inspire Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) with confidence.  Can this offense get clicking?  What's up with all the Masyn Winn rest days?  Are all of Oli Marmol's moves doomed?  At least the guys end on a Sonny note, talking about the return of the staff ace.

  • GTBH 4/7/24: A Much Better Week

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Even though they lost Sunday's game against the Marlins, there's plenty in the last week that encourages Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor).  Things haven't clicked on all cylinders but people like Sonny Gray and Lars Nootbaar should be returning soon.  How does the roster look then?  Do the Cardinals have one of those "good problem to have" at catcher?  What's up with Nolan Arenado?  All this and much more!

  • GTBH 3/31/24: Are We Having Fun Yet?

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) recorded at their normal time, which happened to coincide with when John King came into the game, so you can hear the tone of the show shift in real time!  Actually, there's plenty of issues with this team already and a tough series coming up.  Come listen in as the guys try to make sense of it all!

  • GTBH 3/26/24: An Honest Evaluation

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Spring training is over and Opening Day is almost here.  However, if you are expecting a rah-rah, pump-you-up show to kick off the season, you are going to be disappointed.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk honestly about the weaknesses of this team, what this season means, and how it could go south.  It's not all doom and gloom, though!  There are things to be excited about and, if nothing else, perhaps you save this episode to point out just how wrong both these guys are!

  • GTBH 3/17/24: The Blarney Stone

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and information you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  It's St. Patrick's Day and the Cardinals could use a little luck of the Irish to keep everyone in one piece.  Keynan Middleton went down this week, a troubling injury in an area where the Cards actually have some depth.  Oli Marmol found a pot of gold mid-week as the Cardinals extended him for two years.  Is this really a big deal and does it change much of anything?  And do spring training stats start counting now that there are just 10 days left?  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) are wearing the green and talking the red!

  • GTBH 3/10/24: VSII Be or Not To Be

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis about the St. Louis Cardinals.  This week's show is brought to you by Mercy Health because it's all about injured Cardinals and Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) don't have medical degrees.  Sonny Gray's hamstring was whole a week ago.  Are we worried about what that means for the long term?  When in the world will Tommy Edman come back and can Dylan Carlson pick up the slack?  We'd make a Lars Nootbaar crack but his ribs beat us to it.  With him out, the guys debate pro and con on the idea of Victor Scott II on the roster.  It's a show Hawkeye Pierce and Joan Watson would approve of!

  • GTBH 3/3/24: What, Us Worry?

    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 Cards were rained out on Sunday, meaning that they didn't get a chance to finally hit a home run.  You'll have to judge if Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) picked up the slack.  The guys talk about some early stats that aren't flattering and their level of concern over them.  They try to make some sense out of the Brandon Crawford signing.  And Daniel doesn't let David get by without addressing his prediction from last week.  Plenty in here for you!

  • GTBH 2/25/24: We Have Baseball!

    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 spring training games have gotten underway and so far all three games have been available on TV, giving Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) plenty to discuss.  Does Masyn Winn's big Sunday put to rest some of the questions that swirled this week about shortstop?  Has Alec Burleson's outfield work this winter paid off?  How are the Cardinals going to get all those arms into the bullpen?  Unlike the new Fanatics jersey pants, there's plenty of material here!
