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) 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.

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!
