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.  That title is not entirely true, because the Cardinals did do a little more than just continue to circle the Stanton saga.  Aledmys Diaz is no longer a Redbird, getting shipped over the border right at the non-tender deadline.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) discuss why he got moved and what it might mean for Diaz.  Then the two get into the Giancarlo Stanton drama and all the twists and turns that go along with it.  How frustrating is it that St. Louis might make the best deal and have the best situation and still not get their guy?  What happens if the deal doesn't happen--what is plan B and will it make anyone happy?  Listen in and find out!

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 there wasn't just a ton to talk about as the Cardinals still haven't really kicked into any sort of offseason activity (save coaches and cut players--best to ya, Rosie).  That meant Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) were left to their own devices, which is not always a good thing.  Plenty of talk about Giancarlo Stanton and what missing out on him or a pivot to run prevention would mean.  However, it's not exactly the sharp, focused show you might be used to.  Pardon a bit of silliness but these things happen in the winter!

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 Houston Astros are World Champions, reliving us from having to continue to call the Cubs that.  Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) talks about her time covering some of those Astros as they were taking their first steps in the minor leagues.  Moving on from there, she and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) talk about the extension of a qualifying offer to Lance Lynn and its rejection, the likely non-tendering of Trevor Rosenthal, and the rumors surrounding Giancarlo Stanton.  It's a lot of stuff so we made it an extra-long show just for your baseball withdrawal!

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, "every week" is a bit of a stretch in the offseason, as real life and the lack of regular news sometimes interferes with regular recordings.  However, Tara Wellman (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) is back and raring to join Daniel Shoptaw (C70 At The Bat, @C70) to talk about all the changes to the Cardinals' coaching staff.  What exactly did they promise Jose Oquendo to get him to return?  What does Willie McGee bring to the club?  What should we expect from Mike Maddux?  And how do all of these changes impact the future of Mike Matheny?  All that and a little postseason baseball talk as well!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Time has run out on the Cards and the 2017 season will end with them heading home for the winter.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) talk about what it was like to have meaningless baseball this weekend, what Adam Wainwright's surgery and Matt Carpenter's lack thereof mean for the 2018 squad, and Tara breaks down the responses she got on Twitter when she asked how folks would sum up this season in three words or less.  Just wait until you hear her response!
