Gateway to Baseball Heaven: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast

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 false start on their regular night, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) get together after the Cards drop a tough one in Miami.  Still, it didn't feel like the same old Cardinals, especially after they took series from the Cubs, the Rockies, and the Pirates all in order.  The trade deadline also happened since we last got together and Tommy Pham is now an injured Ray.  Did that deal make sense?  Would it have been made had Dexter Fowler gotten hurt earlier.

Tara also spends time explaining why Tyson Ross could be as good for the Cardinals as Chris Archer would have been this season and talks about her trip to Peoria!

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 weeks, months, maybe years of incremental changes, the Cards went big this week, completely reworking their bullpen with some internal moves Friday and a trade on Saturday.  What does this all mean for 2018 and beyond?  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) break it down for you in this episode.  Does the redone bullpen mean the Cardinals are making a push?  Are they done making changes?  Who will go off the 25-man roster before Monday's game?  Who will be gone and who will stay after the deadline?  All this plus some of what this team is looking like under Mike Shildt and more!

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 spending last week with Adam Butler on Conversations with C70, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) return to their normal locale to talk about the first week of the Mike Shildt era.  While there seems to be a different energy, a more transparent approach, and a more consistent offense, the fact remains that the Cards lost three of five to the Cubs and now reside in fourth place.  What can this team do to be better?  What should this team do at the trading deadline?  Who has the answers that you seek?  It's not us--but we'll talk about the problems anyway!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Well, not every week, but after a week off due to travel Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) are back at it talking about another frustrating week for the Cards, topped off by an ugly loss to the Giants.  Is this team anything more than a middling, .500 squad?  With the trade deadline coming up, what should the front office be doing?  Plus there is talk about John Mozeliak's comments regarding Dexter Fowler and the selection of Miles Mikolas to the National League All-Star Team.  All that and plenty more!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Just when you think that everything is doom and gloom, the Cardinals pull out a split against the division leaders and show a bit of life.  What does this mean?  Heck if Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) know.  The two try to make heads or tails out of where this team is going.  Is it the team that lost four of five to Philadelphia and Milwaukee or the team that took two, one convincingly, against the Brewers to end the week?  Can we trust that this team won't go out and lose two of three to the Indians and/or the Braves this week?  How many times can someone be burned before they never trust again.

Plus they talk about Mike Matheny and his stunning choice not to fully back up Tommy Pham Friday night as well as the possible complete turnaround by Greg Holland.  There's no show next week so treasure this one even more than normal!
