Gateway to Baseball Heaven: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast

GTBH 7/27/25: Stumbling Toward The Deadline

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 a tough stretch in Arizona and Colorado, the Cardinals come home and split with the Padres, but that feels like too little too late for Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor).  The trade deadline should be a busy one and the guys talk about all the various options, including the unlikely ones in Sonny Gray and Brendan Donovan.  They also discuss how things might look the rest of the way and if there's anything that will swing Oli Marmol's job status one way or another.  Double sized show this week, so enjoy!

GTBH 7/13/25: I Feel a Draft

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) and David (@iPopEditor) tag in Allen Medlock (@amedlock1) of Meet Me at Musial fame in a simulcast of the two shows.  David breaks down the pick of Liam Doyle and what that means for the near and long-term future, then bows out as Allen and Daniel talk about the first part of the season and what to look for in the second one.  A supersized show (that is the same as this week's MMM so you won't want to listen to them both)!

GTBH 7/6/25: Definitely Fedde 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.  As the Cardinals get demolished on national television for the second time in three days, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) hash out their feelings about how the club is going.  Will the club make a move on Erick Fedde after yet another disastrous outing?  Do the Cardinals put too much emphasis on what might be and not enough on what is?  What will the Cardinals do at the deadline--or perhaps more telling, what can they do?  All that plus David's final draft prediction and an honoring of Brenden Donovan!

GTBH 6/29/25: Broom Me

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 a downer midweek, the Cardinals came back out and swept the Guardians in Cleveland.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) sort out how they feel about this team now that they've basically run their June gauntlet.  How bright is the future, both in 2025 and beyond?  How impressive was Sonny Gray's game and who do we have to talk to about at least limiting niche networks to once per series?  And why did Chumbawamba make an appearance?  All that and much more!

GTBH 6/22/25: A Win Is a Win

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 Cards took both series this week but that doesn't mean everything is perfect.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about some of the struggles, such as the bullpen, and the loss of Ivan Herrera.  There's also discussion about the trade deadline and how things might shake out after a big series against the Cubs this week.  Plenty to chew over so come join us!

GTBH 6/15/25: Rock Bottom, We Hope

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 rough week for the Redbirds--come from ahead losses, incomplete comebacks, and only one win against Toronto and Milwaukee.  What's the problem?  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) pin most of the blame on the struggling offense.  Is it just a down beat or is it a lingering problem?  Who is taking ownership and trying to lead the team out of the mess?  And while that's the big problem, there's also the Ryan Helsley question to tackle.  Plus David talks about what the Cards might do in next month's draft.

GTBH 6/8/25: Two Out of Three....Is Pretty Darn 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.  The Cards arrested their slide toward the mean by taking two out of three from a very good Dodgers team over the weekend at Busch Stadium.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about the grit of this team, how fun it is to watch, and what we might expect for the next month.  Plus Daniel was at this year's Blogger and Podcaster Day so there's plenty of talk about what Mo said and that whole experience.  Come give it a listen!

GTBH 6/1/25: A New Month, But Will It Be the Same Cardinals?

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 Cards dropped two of three against the Rangers, which elevated Daniel (@C70) and David's (@iPopEditor) anxiety level.  Are we starting to see some regression to the mean, especially out of the pitching staff?  Do the Cards need to move Ivan Herrera back behind the plate more?  What should they do about a six man rotation in June?  All that and plenty more!

GTBH 5/26/25: Falling For the Trap

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 Monday show this week which gave the Cards a chance to lose, but Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) aren't too down on the team even after a shaky game.  That doesn't mean everything is hunky-dory--there's still decisions to be made on Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman and there are a few concerns on the pitching staff--but otherwise it's been a good week for the Cards and that means a good week for us!

GTBH 5/18/25: The Cardinals Keep Rolling

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 Cards actually dropped a couple of games this week but that doesn't damper the mood of Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor).  They talk about the varied nature of the offense, what you do with Alec Burleson, and note the rough start against the Phillies by Sonny Gray.  Plus another mid-2010s Cardinal decides to retire--should Kolten Wong get Cards HOF consideration?  All that and more in this week's show!
