Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis about the St. Louis Cardinals. Well, any week that there is news to bring you, of course. After this week, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) might not have much to talk about as baseball looks to possibly shoot itself in both feet. How did the commissioner go from 100% sure the game was returning to less than that after the players told him to make a schedule? Can any trust be regained between the two sides? And it's hard to remember now but there was a draft this week, so Daniel and Tara talk a bit about those guys walking into this sort of situation. It's a mess, but we hope you'll come discuss the mess with us!

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, when there is news to share, of course. Right now, baseball seems to be in a holding pattern as the clock ticks louder and louder toward making a decision for both sides. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) discuss the possibility of a short season and what that means for the players and fans. There's also talk of things missed, as the London Series should be coming up this weekend. Finally, they reflect on the new outspokenness of Jack Flaherty.

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 little breaking news in this one, as Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) find out about the players' proposal to the owners mid-show. They try to break that down this new information, but before that they talk about the odds of any sort of agreement happening. All of that plus what the week was like for minor leaguers. Spoiler: it wasn't good.

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 week, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) get into the latest additions to the Cardinal Hall of Fame. How do they feel about those choices--both who made it and who didn't--and how is the Cardinal Hall of Fame trending. Then they discuss (again) the possible return of the game and the hoops that might be presenting this week for both sides to jump through. Will we see baseball? And will it have an open stage or will the NBA and the NHL encroach? Come and find out!

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 traditional first marker of the season, Memorial Day, gets ever closer, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) talk about the released/leaked proposal by the owners that covers all of the health aspects of returning to play. Is it enough? Does this lengthy document indicate that maybe the game shouldn't return? What happens to the players that don't want to return? So many questions that go around with all of this. Daniel and Tara don't have the answers, but give the show a listen anyway!

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 week, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) probably don't make any friends in the circle of billionaires called MLB owners. They get after them for their plan to reduce the draft to five rounds and then on the possibility they'd scrap the season rather than pay the players their prorated contract value. If you like rants, this could be your 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. In this week's installment of Gateway, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) asks Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) how she is going to celebrate her first true Star Wars day before asking her about all the issues surrounding the minors right now. Between contraction, the potential for new season, and what do up and coming stars (that have more up and coming to do) face in 2020, there's plenty there to discuss! The two wrap with discussions about Yadier Molina and his newfound willingness to, perhaps, finish his career somewhere else. May the Force be with you!

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 week, however, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) aren't talking baseball at all. They are talking comedy with Ben Brainard (@Ben_Brainard), who is putting up some great Tik Tok material with his States Roundtable series. (If you haven't seen any of these, it's like you are going shirtless to Mardi Gras in a pandemic. Find these over at benbrainard.com!) Ben talks about how he got started on this idea, what tipped him off that it was kind of a big deal, and a lot of his process and logistics on putting together these short sketches. Come spend a little time with something a little different!

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 Easter Sunday but, for many reasons, it doesn't really feel like it. Besides the quiet churches, not having baseball on in the afternoon is very strange and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) don't really care for it. While there are rudimentary plans for returning baseball to action, there are a lot of problems with all of them. That may mean that there's no 2020 season, which gets the two talking about how that will affect not only minor leaguers, but two of the team's legends as well.

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. We are all still hunkered down with the quarantine so Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) get a bit off the beaten trail with their weekly discussion. The home opener didn't happen, but a new landmark made it to downtown St. Louis. So do you like the big championship trophy or not? Both sides get aired out here. There was a little talk with Mo this week as well, though how much was really news? And is it better to shut down baseball for the year and start fresh next season? A bit of a different show so we hope you like it!
