  • GTBH 9/11/22: 697 and 324

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis about the St. Louis Cardinals.  This was a week of history, with Albert Pujols moving to fourth all time in the home run list and Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina tying to record of starts by a battery.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Bat, @tarawellman) try to put into words the amazingness that is these players and the wonder of watching them on a regular basis.  They also touch on some of the issues of the week and wonder if fatigue could be an issue going forward.  Come in and revel in the history!

  • GTBH 8/28/22: Putting On a Brave Face

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  This week, Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) weave around the action on the field as the Cardinals finish their series against the Braves, commenting on what is happening while also talking about whether Yadier Molina should be the main catcher in the postseason, what's going on with Dylan Carlson, whether COVID had anything to do with Genesis Cabrera, and Oli Marmol's managing style.  It runs a bit long but it ends in a Cardinal win, so you have to like that!

  • GTBH 8/21/22: Wait, Is This a Fun Cardinals Team?

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  There's a lot going on with the Cardinals right now and at the top of the list is winning ballgames.  After another perfect week, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) rave once more about Yadier Molina, discuss Yadier Molina's absence from the team, and discuss just how concerning the bullpen issues might be.  There's so much going on with this team we couldn't get to everything, but hopefully you enjoy what we do talk about!

  • GTBH 8/14/22: Make Way for King Albert

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Sunday brought yet another memorable moment to the career of Albert Pujols and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) give his majesty his due, talking about 700, the emotion that Albert is playing with, and how clutch never goes out of style.  Then they move to the rest of the lineup (will Sunday spark Dylan Carlson and Tyler O'Neill), the rotation (how good does it look with the new additions) and the bullpen (is anyone but Ryan Helsley truly trustworthy)?  So much to talk about this week!

  • GTBH 8/7/22: Big Cardinal Energy

    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 was a busy and rewarding week for the Cardinals, as it started with new pitchers being acquired and ended with a sweep of one of the best teams in baseball.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) break it all down and ponder what it means.  Is John Mozeliak more of a fixer than a builder?  Is it surprising the club moved on from Harrison Bader?  What happens when Jack Flaherty is ready to return?  All that and a salute to Mr. Nootbaar!

  • GTBH 7/31/22: Will The Deadline Truly Be Dead?

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  With the deadline moved from its traditional perch at the end of July, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) spend time talking about what could happen rather than what has happened.  Should the Cardinals go with Juan Soto or pitching in the shopping cart?  Can the Cards make the playoffs either way?  Our duo also talks about the return of Paul DeJong and the impending return of Yadier Molina.  Come while away the hours until John Mozeliak makes a move!

  • GTBH 7/20/22: Our Good Friend Mo

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  This past weekend, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) were both in attendance at the annual Blogger Day event hosted by the Cardinals.  John Mozeliak said a lot but did he say anything?  What trade was he wishing he could have back?  What were his thoughts about the welfare of the minor leaguers?  All that and more, plus our intrepid duo touch on the All-Star Break and, of course, the Juan Soto situation!

  • GTBH 7/10/22: Ending The Drought

    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 remarkably dry week, where the Cards went 19 innings without scoring a run and that didn't count the shutout mid-week by the Braves, the four runs scored today by St. Louis felt like a downpour.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) get into the various issues with the lineup, whether it's injury or fatigue or something else.  They also get into the catching situation and whether it's a good thing Ivan Herrera got replaced by Austin Romine this week.  They wrap up talking about Albert Pujols and the All-Stars going to LA.  Give it a listen!

  • GTBH 6/19/22: Pitching and Defense (and Offense Too)

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) brings you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  This week brought some almost history in the middle and a classic matchup at the end, so there's plenty for Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) to discuss.  What was it like watching the end of Miles Mikolas's bid to get a no-hitter?  What do they make of the bullpen dichotomy? How do you balance sentiment and winning?  All that and more on this week's episode!

  • GTBH 6/12/22: Two For the Price of One

    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 long absence, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) is very glad to welcome Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) back to the co-host chair.  Tara's not coming empty-handed, though, as the legendary #SiriSteve joins in the conversation, bringing a little Cubbie blue perspective on the issues of the day.  The three talk about the Cardinals season as a whole, the youth movement that has been going on, and the farewell tour of the legends.  So much to catch up on!
