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 dropped two of three against the Rangers, which elevated Daniel (@C70) and David's (@iPopEditor) anxiety level.  Are we starting to see some regression to the mean, especially out of the pitching staff?  Do the Cards need to move Ivan Herrera back behind the plate more?  What should they do about a six man rotation in June?  All that and plenty more!

GTBH 5/26/25: Falling For the Trap

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's a Monday show this week which gave the Cards a chance to lose, but Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) aren't too down on the team even after a shaky game.  That doesn't mean everything is hunky-dory--there's still decisions to be made on Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman and there are a few concerns on the pitching staff--but otherwise it's been a good week for the Cards and that means a good week for us!

GTBH 4/27/25: The Roller Coaster Heads Back Down

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 some optimism on the last show, the Cardinals continued to not win on the road and struggle with some games at home.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk it out, including whether Ryan Helsley's lesser stats are due to a normal regression or more the lack of playing time.  Who on the offense is really clicking?  Why is Thomas Saggese being sent down?  Plus the guys spend time to honor Walt Jocketty on the event of his passing.

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!
