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.  It was a rough day for Cardinal fans as franchise icon Adam Wainwright took the mound...and quickly left it, having walked six batters, had his velocity be minimal, and afterwards admitted his elbow acted up again.  Was this the end for the Redbird great?  Daniel (C70 at the Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) talk all about that and the ramifications of what is going on with Uncle Charlie.  They also get into the problems with the offense, which notably struggled all week long save one game in San Diego.  But what can you do about it?  The tough questions are getting asked in the Cardinal front office, no doubt, but Daniel and Tara do their best!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  While the Cards have been winning on the field, the players have been dropping like flies.  What do all of these injuries mean for the Redbirds?  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) talk about the injuries to Dominic Leone, Tommy Pham, Bud Norris, and most notably Yadier Molina.  Can they keep their place as the best team in the NL Central with all these guys down?  This show is also recorded during Sunday Night Baseball, so commentary both on some of the manager's interesting choices as well as hearing how the driver of the Kolten Wong bandwagon reacted to his game-tying triple.  All that and plenty more in this week's show!

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 beating up on the Reds and winning two of three from the Mets, the Cardinals went into Pittsburgh and...there really are few words.  That didn't stop Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) from trying to find some, though.  What can you really do about this bullpen that seems pretty fixed?  Is Greg Holland running out of that "no spring training" excuse?  Is this just a bad stretch or does some serious overhauling need to be done to the 'pen?

It's not just the bullpen either.  Luke Weaver has struggled as of late--can he keep a spot with Jack Flaherty going strong in Memphis and Alex Reyes about a month from returning?  Then there's Matt Carpenter, who still isn't hitting even after the lineup shuffle.  How long can the team keep letting him hit in the top three when he's producing like he is?

Finally, to lighten the mood and to tie in with a certain movie that came out this weekend, Daniel and Tara try to match up current Cardinals to current Marvel Cinematic Universe characters.  Some are easy and some are a stretch, so if you have thoughts on these hit them up on Twitter and let them know!

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 this week because THREE of the BFIB are here for your listening pleasure.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) join together to talk with regular Meet Me at Musial co-host Allen Medlock (The Redbird Daily, @amedlock1) in a joint MMM/GTBH podcast.  The three talk about the fun that was #ucbweekend (as well as the food) then tackle the information John Mozeliak and Bill DeWitt III brought during their Q&A.  Why is Jordan Hicks on this team and is the lack of strikeouts by him a concern?  What can we expect from Alex Reyes when he returns?  Did the general manager really call the bloggers "peeps"?  All that plus talk about the Cincy series, the current issues with the Cardinals, and interjections from an extra-inning loss against the Mets.  It may sound different and it may run longer than normal but we hope you enjoy!

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 sweep in Cincinnati, the Cardinals are sitting in second place and above .500.  But how much of this is due to a turnaround and how much is it due to the fact that the Reds appear to be horrific?  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) tackle that issue as well as other topics of the week.  The Cardinals' closer isn't actually the closer.  When will Greg Holland take over that role and will Bud Norris's performance make that transition tougher?  Adam Wainwright threw a solid start this week.  Is that an aberration or a sign of things to come?  Jedd Gyorko and Luke Gregerson are about ready to make their returns (well, debut for Gregerson).  Who loses out when these guys come back?  Plenty of Cardinal talk for you this week so enjoy!
