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.  The 2025 season has come to a close and Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) are here to mark the occasion.  Was intentionally walking Michael Busch on Saturday a good thing or a troll job?  Should the closing lineup have been a little more robust?  And the less said about Miles Mikolas the better.  The guys also talk about the upcoming press conferences by John Mozeliak and Chaim Bloom plus the fates of the no-trade-clause guys.  A rough season but, hey, we aren't Mets fans!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  We've seen the last of the Cardinals at Busch Stadium for 2025 and while there are still some more games, there was a lot of finality this weekend.  Miles Mikolas made his last start on the home mound, John Mozeliak watched his last games from the POBO suite, and Nolan Arenado walked off to a huge ovation without even playing.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about some of the endings and some of the beginnings, starting with Chaim Bloom and what he might do this winter.  How can Cardinal fans stay engaged when a rebuild is coming?  Let's find out together.

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 very rough week for the Redbirds (well, not the Springfield ones) and Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) aren't terribly inclined to talk about it.  They do give some kudos to Miles Mikolas (of all people) while talking about the pitching problems next year may have.  Are we expecting too much from Chaim Bloom or will this actually be a busy offseason?  Plus Masyn Winn gets shut down, finally.  All that and more on this week's outing!

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 Cards about to take on the Mariners, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) dive into a few things team related.  Would Sonny Gray waive his no-trade this winter?  Would the Cardinals actually be able to trade him?  How about the buzz around Jordan Walker this week?  Was it a big deal?  The guys also remember back to September 8, 1998.

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 Cards took two of three from their closest wild card rival but splitting with Pittsburgh before that took a lot of wind out of the sails, if it was there to begin with.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about the flagging offense, what to watch for in September, and who the 2026 catcher might be among other things.  Spend your Labor Day with the guys!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  A mediocre week for the Cardinals as they made their Florida tour, but "mediocre" seems to be the word of the season so it's not a big surprise.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) wonder about Masyn Winn's knee, how the two factions in the front office are working together, and the frustration of watching this team.  We'll miss them when they are gone but they'll drive us crazy until then!

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 Cards were just one Brendan Donovan pinch-hit away from being swept in two series this week by teams on both ends of the spectrum.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about the futility of the team and where it goes from here.  Would this season be different had Chaim Bloom taken over already?  What do you do with JJ Wetherholt?  What will we get out of Nathan Church?  All than and much 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.  Another week closer to the end of the season and the Cardinals are still somewhat hanging around, 4 games out of a wild card spot as Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) record this episode.  Does that mean the flame of hope is still flickering?  If not, is there hope for next year?  When WILL there be hope, when a data chip gets sent to Princess Leia?  (Sorry, wrong fan interest)  The guys talk about the current and the future and try to read some tea leaves!

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 trading deadline has come and gone and neither Daniel (@C70) or David (@iPopEditor) was all that enthused about it.  It was fine, but will any of the returns make it to the majors?  What about the roster and the clogs of bats that are there?  Will we see Nolan Arenado again?  Who will be the September callups?  It's a hodgepodge of a show but it might be more entertaining than the current Cardinals game, depending on when you listen.

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 tough stretch in Arizona and Colorado, the Cardinals come home and split with the Padres, but that feels like too little too late for Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor).  The trade deadline should be a busy one and the guys talk about all the various options, including the unlikely ones in Sonny Gray and Brendan Donovan.  They also discuss how things might look the rest of the way and if there's anything that will swing Oli Marmol's job status one way or another.  Double sized show this week, so enjoy!
