  • GTBH 9/9/18: It Doesn't Have to be Pretty
    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  September has started out a little more gritty, a little tougher, than the results of that high-flying August.  The Cards went 3-3 and lost a series to a Tigers team that's already been eliminated.  Is this a sign of things to come?  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) talk about the young arms getting tired and what that might mean for the Cards' playoff hopes.  There's a new closer in town and our intrepid hosts discuss what that means for the bullpen in general and Carlos Martinez in particular.  Plus Marcell Ozuna's hot bat, Jose Martinez's cold one, and how little time there really is left.  Come join us, won't you?

  • GTBH 9/2/18: Laboring Through the Weekend
    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 remarkable run, the Cardinals dropped two of three to the Cincinnati Reds this weekend to end their 10-series winning streak.  Is the sky falling now?  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) don't think that it is.  They talk about Mike Shildt being named the permanent (well, as permanent as managers are) manager of the Cardinals, what happened this weekend, the pennant and wild card races, and of course give Tara some time to talk about Kolten Wong.  Give us a listen as you are enjoying your holiday!

  • GTBH 8/26/18: Kolten's Korner
    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 expressing concern about how the Cards would handle a West Coast trip with so many playoff implications, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) can only stand somewhat amazed over a 5-1 result.  The club even shook off a rout by the Rockies on Saturday and put up six runs in the first on Sunday.  Why does this team react differently now?  Why are they this seemingly unstoppable force?
    The Cardinals also added Matt Adams to the mix this week, bringing back a popular Redbird.  How does he fit in and how important was it that he meshed well with the existing clubhouse culture?
    Tara and Daniel also talk about the upcoming roster expansion.  All of this is, of course, after Tara spends a few moments....well, maybe more than a few....lauding her favorite player.  He deserved it!

  • GTBH 8/19/18: Cardinals Doing Work
    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 Redbirds are on a roll right now, winning five of seven this week even as they ended it with a loss to the Brewers and therefore out of the playoff picture.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) are still pretty happy with this team and are excited about their run from "let's plan for October" to "wow, even the division is within reach."  Lots of great things happened this week and there's plenty of news as well.  So tune in to hear your favorite hosts talk about Greg Garcia, Luke Weaver, Carlos Martinez, Brett Cecil, and even more.  You know you want to!

  • GTBH 8/12/18: Feeling Like Royalty
    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 an excellent week for the Redbirds--which, given how many Memphis folks are on the roster, may be a more accurate label than ever--as they took two of three from the Marlins and swept through Kansas City.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) talk about the energy and vibe that this team is putting off, their charge up both the wild card and the division standings (if Washington would have done their part....), and the all-around excellence from the Cardinals.  We saw major league debuts from Adolis Garcia and Patrick Wisdom and a great Cardinal debut from Tyson Ross.  Plus there's a discussion about Mike Shildt's conversation with the umpire at the end of Sunday's game.  And stick around to the very end to hear a sadly accurate (well, almost) prediction!
