Gateway to Baseball Heaven: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast

GTBH 11/13/23: November Details

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  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!

GTBH 11/5/23: Start Your Engines

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 in the rear view mirror, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) discuss the Rangers' championship before diving into the free agency issues.  The opening bell sounds on Monday but do either of these guys expect a big deal before the turkey is ready on Thanksgiving?  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!

GTBH 10/29/23: Hey Buddy, What’s 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.  With limited Cardinal news, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) are reduced to speculating whether there is any import in the Cardinals picking up Buddy Kennedy.  (Spoiler alert: there's not.)  They also discuss the pitfalls of a Yadier Molina return via coaching and the chances of the club landing a Japanese pitcher.  No, not that one.

GTBH 10/8/23: Pitching, Pitching, Pitching

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 season firmly behind us, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) take a brief glance at the postseason before diving into the issues of the winter, most notably the mound guys.  Why will the Cardinals NOT sign both Aaron Nola and Sonny Gray?  Could Jordan Montgomery come back to the Birds?  What three pitchers would you pick out of the arms seemingly available?  All this and much more!

GTBH 10/1/23: Time To Fly

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 

GTBH 9/24/23: #ThankYouWaino

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 miserable week for the Redbirds with folks getting hurt right and left, but at least we had #200 for Adam Wainwright as part of it.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about the beautiful game that got Wainwright to history before looking at the wreckage that was the rest of the week.  Through all that, though, there's a chance for you to show what the impact Uncle Charlie has had on this organization, this city, and this fan base!

GTBH 9/17/23: Should He Stay Or Should He Go?

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis about the St. Louis Cardinals.  In a slightly shorter show than normal, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) discuss the news that Oli Marmol is expected back as manager of the Cardinals in 2024.  Shouldn't someone be sacrificed for this season?  Do the Cardinals really want that sort of turnover in the managerial seat?  What sort of wood makes the best torch for storming a station?  Plus a little thinking of Tyler O'Neill on the occasion of his return to the injured list.

GTBH 9/10/23: Throwing A Curve

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 Cardinals...won two series this week?  Against playoff locks or contenders?  The Cardinals?  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) try to make sense of the madness.  Winning with home runs beats losing by getting just one hit, as the team proved this week.  Can Miles Mikolas do anything this winter to stop his slide?  What's the possibility Zack Thompson is in the rotation next season?  How much fun is it to watch Jordan Walker now and are there any concerns about his friend and teammate Masyn Winn?  And finally, what about that guy in Anaheim?  No, not that superstar, the other one....

GTBH 8/27/23: Is This String Already Played 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.  When your AA affiliate scores more in an inning than you do in a series, you might be a last place team.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) try to find things to talk about surrounding this team but it's hard to do that and stay positive at the same time.  Are the veterans already checked out?  Who has any buzz around this team right now?  Are the injuries more from an abundance of caution or is there something going on in the workout room?  It's not easy to talk about this team right now but the guys give it their best shot!

GTBH 8/20/23: Does Anyone Still Care?

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 fairly miserable week of Cardinals baseball, but that doesn't help it stand out from much of the season. Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about the lack of attendance in recent games as well as the newest attendee, Masyn Winn. There's also discussion about the starters the Cardinals are looking for this winter and a guarantee that this show will never be sponsored by Fanatics.
