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 busy and rewarding week for the Cardinals, as it started with new pitchers being acquired and ended with a sweep of one of the best teams in baseball. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) break it all down and ponder what it means. Is John Mozeliak more of a fixer than a builder? Is it surprising the club moved on from Harrison Bader? What happens when Jack Flaherty is ready to return? All that and a salute to Mr. Nootbaar!

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 deadline moved from its traditional perch at the end of July, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) spend time talking about what could happen rather than what has happened. Should the Cardinals go with Juan Soto or pitching in the shopping cart? Can the Cards make the playoffs either way? Our duo also talks about the return of Paul DeJong and the impending return of Yadier Molina. Come while away the hours until John Mozeliak makes a move!

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 past weekend, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) were both in attendance at the annual Blogger Day event hosted by the Cardinals. John Mozeliak said a lot but did he say anything? What trade was he wishing he could have back? What were his thoughts about the welfare of the minor leaguers? All that and more, plus our intrepid duo touch on the All-Star Break and, of course, the Juan Soto situation!

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 remarkably dry week, where the Cards went 19 innings without scoring a run and that didn't count the shutout mid-week by the Braves, the four runs scored today by St. Louis felt like a downpour. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) get into the various issues with the lineup, whether it's injury or fatigue or something else. They also get into the catching situation and whether it's a good thing Ivan Herrera got replaced by Austin Romine this week. They wrap up talking about Albert Pujols and the All-Stars going to LA. Give it a listen!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) brings you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. This week brought some almost history in the middle and a classic matchup at the end, so there's plenty for Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) to discuss. What was it like watching the end of Miles Mikolas's bid to get a no-hitter? What do they make of the bullpen dichotomy? How do you balance sentiment and winning? All that and more on this week's episode!

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 long absence, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) is very glad to welcome Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) back to the co-host chair. Tara's not coming empty-handed, though, as the legendary #SiriSteve joins in the conversation, bringing a little Cubbie blue perspective on the issues of the day. The three talk about the Cardinals season as a whole, the youth movement that has been going on, and the farewell tour of the legends. So much to catch up on!

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 Tara still out of pocket, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) reaches back into Cardinal blogging history to talk with his friend Josh Gilliam (Prospect Preacher, @aprfool79) about the past, present, and future of the Cardinals. Nolan Gorman and Matthew Liberatore made their debuts this weekend. What lies in store for both of these highly touted young men? What does the injury to Steven Matz mean for the rotation? Is this team one of destiny, and how many Hall of Famers will make their pitching debut this season? It's a great half hour of baseball talk!

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 Tara still away, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) brings in David Jones (@iPopEditor) to talk about this confusing and roller-coaster week of Cardinal baseball. One day they can't put up any hits, the next day they have double digit runs. Where's the consistency? What really is this team? Where do you improve? What happens now at shortstop with Paul DeJong in Memphis? Come for those answers, stick around as the guys talk about something they'd never thought they'd see as it happens in real time!

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, usually it's two of the best fans. This week, with Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) still out of pocket, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) flies solo, filling the time with a stream of consciousness discussion that somehow never veers into Star Wars or Marvel properties. (Maybe next time!) Offense, the rotation, the bullpen, Juan Yepez's call up, all are touched on in this hopefully unique episode!

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 Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) away, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) brings in Mike Bauer (@mike_bauer) to talk about the first full week of Cardinals baseball. The Cards split with the Brewers--is that a cause for concern or a good sign? Albert Pujols has two home runs in four games played. Can he actually reach 700? Do good outings by Steven Matz and Miles Mikolas alleviate concerns about the rotation? All this and much more!
