Gateway to Baseball Heaven: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast

GTBH 2/23/25: Here We Go Again

Every week, two of the Best Fans of Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  With two spring games in the book, of course it is time for Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) to overact wildly about the results.  OK, maybe not, but the games do give a jumping off point to talk about Tekoah Roby, Sem Robberse, JJ Wetherholt, and many more.  Baseball is back, folks.  Let's talk about it!

GTBH 2/16/25: Nolan Reports

GTBH 2/10/25: No News Is...Pretty Typical

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 quiet winter is starting to come to an end and it can't come quickly enough for Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor).  They talk about what hasn't happened, how the roster could change during the year, Nolan Arenado, and Jim Edmonds's thoughts about the club.  Plus it's the only Cardinal podcast you'll hear this week with a reference to the Book of Revelation!

GTBH 1/20/25: Trying To Light The Fire

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 weekend, the Cardinals hosted Winter Warm Up, in part to help the streets around St. Louis finally thaw.  The news is still frigid, however, as everything is waiting on the glacier pace of a Nolan Arenado trade.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) spend some time with what did come out of the charity event, plus discuss why the 2025 team has hopes and what can dash them.  Plus there's talk about the streaming package, a detail of which came out due to the intrepid work of Kyle Reis.  Huddle round and let's see if we can get some heat off of these embers!

GTBH 1/12/25: Welcome To Arb-y's

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 been a quiet few days...weeks...months for the Cards, but Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) are here to break down all the news about Bailey Horn.  OK, not really, but they do go through the arbitration cases while pondering the front office's approach.  Come give it a listen!

GTBH 12/23/24: Wrapping Things Up

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Every week is pushing it in the winter, but Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) are back before the Christmas holidays to break down all the Cardinal activity which is...nothing.  So we talk about Nolan Arenado, why ownership shouldn't be looking for salary dumps, Paul Goldschmidt as a Yankee, and the draft lottery pick.  Merry Christmas from the guys to all!

GTBH 11/24/24: Podcasting--How Does It Work?

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Actually, due to many different circumstances, it's been about a month since Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) have been able to sit down and talk about the Cardinals.  Not a lot has changed, though there has been some news.  What do we make of Sonny Gray and Willson Contreras wanting to stay while Nolan Arenado is open to leaving?  Was last year's trade deadline a bust?  Do the Rule 5 protection picks tell us something about the new front office focus?  All that and more!

GTBH 10/27/24: Cerfolio's Portfolio

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 World Series is going on, and while Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk a bit about it, the Cardinals made some news of their own this week.  What will Rob Cerfolio bring to the table from the Cleveland organization?  What does this hire say about Chaim Bloom?  Can Brant Brown make an impact on these hitters?  Is there a risk?  All that, some really bad jokes, and a tribute to a fallen STL radio show in this episode!

GTBH 10/21/24: All Rise for The Federalist

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 been quiet, which means Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) have to cast a wider net to find topics.  Does the fact that Tommy Edman was NLCS MVP for the Dodgers mean that trade should go with the other trades of questionable vintage?  What does the World Series matchup tell us and is it a good one?  Jon Jay is back and Willie McGee steps aside.  How much will that matter?  A little conversation in the quiet time!

GTBH 10/7/24: Warding Off Problems

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 week out from that important press conference, it was a little quieter for the Cards.  That doesn't mean Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) don't have things to talk about.  The Cards have cut ties with hitting coach Turner Ward.  What are the ramifications of that?  How much was he to blame?  There was also news on the broadcast front, with the potential of Diamond Sports dropping the team.  Will it happen?  Should it?  It's a nice calm show after last week's chaos, so check it out!
