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, obviously not EVERY week because it's been two months since Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) have gotten together to talk ball. Unfortunately, that's because nothing has happened relating to the Cardinals, something that still hasn't changed. The pair talk about why that is, why the pandemic may be giving the organization cover for a lack of activity that was coming anyway, and then make a few predictions for 2021. Come on in and get reacquainted!

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 decision this week to not pick up the option on Kolten Wong, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) struggle to find the positives in what looks to be a bleak winter. How does the team adjust to the loss of Wong's glove? Will he be the only long-time Redbird taking flight or will Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright follow him out of town? How can the Cardinals legitimately make 2021 exciting, or is it even possible? Plenty to discuss in what will be the last show for a while!

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 World Series going on, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) talk about the action on the field before using the Dodgers as a jumping off point to talk about the Cardinals, comparing and contrasting the two organizations. Does St. Louis need to reevaluate how they do business? Is being good enough actually good enough? Would you rather terrible years followed by greatness and then back down or the chance every year to make a difference? Some good baseball talk as we get ready for the hot (or likely cool) stove!

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 no Cardinals baseball, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) talk about some various baseball-related topics. Does the success of Randy Arozarena indicate the Cardinals need to revamp their thinking? Which crown jewel would you actually trade if you had to? And what's up with Trevor Rosenthal thinking San Diego is baseball heaven? All that and much more!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need for the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals took two losses this week with the passing of Bob Gibson and the elimination of the team from the playoffs. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) talk about what Gibby meant to this organization and the players that are currently wearing the uniform, then transition into the problems that cropped up against the Padres. What was the deal with Tyler O'Neill? How much blame does Mike Shildt get for the losses? Who replaced the bullpen? All that and more on this week's show!

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 fact that the Cardinals made the playoffs was only the second-biggest story of the week, so Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) starts off by asking about Tara's (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) engagement. Don't fret, though, there's plenty of Cardinal talk here, looking at what the team overcame to be a playoff squad, what might happen in the playoffs, and a little bit about the future of some current Cardinals. Come get ready for October!

Every week, two of Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals had a successful week, somehow. The offense made a lot of pitchers look good but, at least in Pittsburgh, were able to scrounge up some runs when they needed them. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) talk about a sputtering offense, a remarkable bullpen, and just how the playoffs might look if St. Louis gets there. Settle in and enjoy!

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 full week of Cardinal baseball but it wasn't anything like what's coming up. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) talk about the bullpen issues that are starting to rear their ugly head as well as what needs to happen in the coming week, especially the first series against the Brewers. Will there be enough healthy arms to shoulder the load? What about the offense--will Matt Carpenter's resurgence be enough? All this 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. It was a sad day in Cardinal Nation on Sunday as the legendary Lou Brock slid into his eternal home. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) talk about what Brock meant to the organization and whether the current generation of Cardinals will ever have that sort of aura about them with the next generation of fans.
Then the two turn to the series with the team that traded Lou to the Cardinals as the Redbirds took on Chicago's baby bears in a five game series that wrapped around the Labor Day weekend. They talk about the resurgence of Harrison Bader, whether Tommy Edman should be playing outfield or third, and what to make of Dylan Carlson. All this and much 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. After an heroic outing, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) sing the praises of Adam Wainwright, one of the few bright spots in a week that didn't go according to plan. Does this team need some sort of move before tomorrow's deadline to give it a boost? Or is that not the play in a season as crazy as this? All that and more in this week's show!
