GTBH 4/14/25: We're So Back (For Now)

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 Ferris wheel that is the 2025 season is back on the upswing after the Cards took two of three from Philadelphia.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about how likely this is to last.  Willson Contreras is starting to hit--is it the bat?  How does the spread of offense keep this team from going cold?  How important is it that Masyn Winn gets back soon?  Can Matthew Liberatore keep the run going?  All that and much more in this week's outing!

GTBH 4/6/25: Ship Them Away From Boston

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  As the final innings of a ESPN-broadcast pounding take place, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) take a look at some of the real concerning things that have taken place recently.  How concerning is Ryan Helsley's meltdown against the BoSox?  Should we expect anything from Miles Mikolas?  What happens now that Ivan Herrera is heading to the IL?  There's been some positives as well, but they are harder to find when the staff gives up double digits twice in three games.  Come listen and see if they are in there!

GTBH 3/30/25: Make Broom for St. Louis

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 kicked off and, if this weekend is any indication, it’s going to be a fun one.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about all the different facets of the Cards’ sweep of the Twins.  Should we call VS2 Victor Van Go?  Is there still concern with Sonny Gray?  How is Oli Marmol going to keep up the lineup juggling?  All that and much more!

GTBH 3/23/25: Great Scott (II)!

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 finalized their Opening Day roster and Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) are here to talk about the surprises.  Victor Scott II will be in center for the opener--in St. Louis, not Memphis.  What are the ripple effects from that decision?  Who takes shortstop on days Masyn Winn isn't out there?  Matthew Liberatore is in the starting rotation after making just one start this spring.  Does that matter?  And do all of these different choices indicate that a new day truly has come for the Cards front office?  Come join the guys as they talk it out!

GTBH 3/17/25: Make The Hard Decision

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 one week left in spring but there's still plenty of questions around the club.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) work their way around some of them.  What's really behind this idea of a six-man rotation and why are the Cardinals apparently willing to do it in the absolute worst way?  Who is going to be the 26th man and does it really matter?  How worried do we get about Sonny Gray's less-than-sunny spring?  All that and more!

GTBH 3/9/25: Opportunities Abound

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 of spring training in the books and Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) are noticing things.  Like the improved play of Nolan Gorman, capped off with a home run on Sunday.  Or the fact that the Yankees suddenly seem to have a need for a major league starter.  Or how Thomas Saggese has caught fire as well.  All of these and much more elaborated on in the show!

GTBH 3/2/25: What, Us Worry?

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Spring training is in full swing and there's been just enough statistical data for people to start getting a little buzz going.  It's not like Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) are really concerned about Masyn Winn not having a hit or anything like that, but there are still some things to take note of.  Can Luken Baker make the team?  What do the early cuts mean?  Who is impressing in the early going?  There's enough out there to start some conversations, so come listen to ours!

GTBH 2/23/25: Here We Go Again

Every week, two of the Best Fans of Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  With two spring games in the book, of course it is time for Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) to overact wildly about the results.  OK, maybe not, but the games do give a jumping off point to talk about Tekoah Roby, Sem Robberse, JJ Wetherholt, and many more.  Baseball is back, folks.  Let's talk about it!
