Winter Warmup in St. Louis brings John Mozeliak and the players out for media availability. What stood out to the guys? Is it really true the RSN situation didn't affect this winter? Is Victor Scott II really the next Mookie Betts? And why are the Cardinals going to arbitration with Tommy Edman? All that and more on this week's show!

Monday Nov 27, 2023
Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. John Mozeliak did a lot of shopping around the Thanksgiving holiday, checking off the Three Wise Starters from his list. How interesting is it to have Lance Lynn, Kyle Gibson, and Sonny Gray in the fold? Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about their reactions to the moves, whether the Cards are the favorites in the division, and whether this is more of a band-aid than a true course correction. Give a listen and let us know if you think this would be a better haul were it not for the Shadow of Yamamoto!

Is it a problem that the Cardinals apparently never met with the pitcher? How nervous does it make you that there is one less chair? The guys also talk about the non-tender deadline and the moves that were made there. Do they show a new focus for the organization? Come in and enjoy during your Thanksgiving week!

Still no major moves as of yet, so Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) start talking about the smaller ones. Does it make sense that the Cards filled up their 40-man roster? Will they make a Rule 5 pick? Should Jordan Walker have gotten a ROY vote? All these and more on a special Monday night edition!

There's also talk that Chaim Bloom might be joining the Cardinals in an advisory role. Is this a good idea? Before the free agency begins, give a listen to this show!

Sunday Oct 01, 2023
Sunday Oct 01, 2023
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 curtain finally comes down not only on this horrible season but the legendary career of Adam Wainwright. Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about how much the celebrations of Waino meant while also looking at this season and what comes next. Plus there is discussion of Oli Marmol's mention of "weeding out" the clubhouse. Will that color every move the Cards make this winter? All in all, though, it was Wainwright weekend and he said it best:
I did what I came here to do
And I love being here with you
St. Louis fans are one-of-a-kind
And you'll always be in this heart of mine
But it's time to fly
