GTBH 3/1/26: Marching On In

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) wind up doing a deep discussion on just two topics this week: the lack of spring training games and the signing of Oli Marmol to a two-year extension.  Why can't games get televised in some form or fashion?  Was the extension a good idea and why or why not?  What does success look like in 2026?  Settle in for a topical chat!

GTBH 2/22/26: The First Bite of Grapefruit

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Grapefruit League action has started and the Cardinals have split their first two games, though obviously nothing about these games really matter.  That doesn't stop Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) from talking about it anyway.  From Rainiel Rodriguez getting some early action to Kyle Leahy's start to the addition of Ramon Urias, the guys kick around some of the news from Cardinals camp.  Plus some rants about instant replay and some raves about ABS!

GTBH 2/1/26: A Frozen Week

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 quiet week for the Cards, but Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) use the lack of a Brendan Donovan trade to wonder how things would be different if John Mozeliak was still in charge--assuming they would be.  Should the Cards get what they can or stick to their guns?  There's also some talk about the prospect lists which are giving the system some love.  Come give it a listen!
