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) off for a bit, Daniel welcomes in David Jones (@iPopEditor) for a few weeks to talk about all the things happening in Jupiter. Does the fact Giovanny Gallegos is still fighting with the pitch clock warrant mentioning? Is Jordan Walker already set for the Hall of Fame? What about the early results for Paul DeJong? Plus there's talk about the handshake that wasn't and the World Baseball Classic, so give it a 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. It's a new year but some things never change as Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) talk about the front office and their approach following John Mozeliak's comments from Winter Warmup. There's more than that in here, though! Who is going to be the player to up the hair game? Is Dakota Hudson really the best choice for a rebound pick? Was Matt Holliday's resignation all that surprising? Tara's in the best podcasting shape of her life (Daniel's dealing with a cold) so let's start talking Cardinal baseball!

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 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) were supposed to record in their normal Sunday slot, but technology didn't cooperate. In the interim, a major piece of news came out. Cardinal broadcaster Dan McLaughlin was arrested for his third DUI. Daniel and Tara talk about what this means for him personally as well as the impact on the broadcast. They also get to the winter meetings, with the Cardinals in on Sean Murphy and apparently not ready to lose out on the services of Paul DeJong. It's a long show but it has to get you through until January!

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 newsy week for the Redbirds, bringing Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) out of hibernation to comment on the stories. Does Tara completely believe the company line about the departure of Mike Maddux? Was social media to blame for the departure of Jeff Albert? Also, what about the guys that are staying, Adam Wainwright and Nolan Arenado? Your dynamic duo cover those guys as well. Lots of fun so come on in!

The season for the Redbirds has been over for a week now but the playoffs continue to roll on.

Is a bye a good thing and should the Cardinals retool to focus on that? Do former Cardinals on other teams sway your rooting interest? All that and 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. With Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) out of pocket this week, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) turns to David (iPopEditor) to start sifting through the rubble of the latest Cardinals postseason flop. Does the team need to change their process? What happened to Paul Goldschmidt? How much does the ninth inning in Game 1 rest on Oli Marmol's shoulders? All that and an appreciation of what did go right in the series as we get ready for a cold winter.

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 an emotional end to the finale of the home schedule for the Cards as three icons of the organization left the field, at least two for the final time in a regular season. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) try to put into words what it means to see this era of Cardinal baseball come to a close. How can you describe what Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina have meant? How can you talk about the emotions of the ceremonies and everything that surrounded it? Daniel and Tara try, plus touch on a few of the more prosaic issues facing St. Louis. Come in and honor the legends one more 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. A huge bit of history was made this week and, as they have often this season, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) get to wax rhapsodic about the man, the myth, the legend that is Albert Pujols. How crazy is it to see someone that will be spoken about as reverently as Ruth and Aaron in the coming decades? How amazing is this final run in Cardinal red? Just how terrible must Anaheim have been for the guy?
Unfortunately, not everything was coming up roses this week--in fact, little else did. Daniel and Tara talk about their concerns with Adam Wainwright, Jordan Montgomery, and Paul Goldschmidt. Come and see if you share them!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. Sure, Albert Pujols hit another home run and Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina made history, but it still was a bit of a quiet week for the Cards. Are they just playing down to the level of their competition and can they step it up against the playoff teams that are next up? Should Albert be playing every day and what are the odds he hits a milestone homer when everyone in St. Louis is in bed? How surprising is it the legends are ending on a high note after the start of the season? Plus the Cubs are eliminated from playoff contention, so it's a good day!

This was a week of history, with Albert Pujols moving to fourth all time in the home run list and Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina tying to record of starts by a battery. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Bat, @tarawellman) try to put into words the amazingness that is these players and the wonder of watching them on a regular basis. They also touch on some of the issues of the week and wonder if fatigue could be an issue going forward. Come in and revel in the history!
