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 Cards' win on Sunday, they had a week that was over .500. So why are Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and David (@iPopEditor) still grumbling? Maybe it's the fact that a team supposedly a serious playoff threat struggled against Colorado and Pittsburgh. What does the team do with Jordan Hicks? Is Willson Contreras coming around? Should the lineup be shuffled? Do we accept any middling success from a starting pitcher as a great thing? So much to talk about so come along and listen!

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 miserable week of games and off-field drama, the Cardinals got back on track Saturday night. Seven strong innings from Jordan Montgomery brought Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and David (@iPopEditor) back from the brink a little bit. The guys talk about the week that was anyway, though, and express their concerns about Jordan Hicks while appreciating what Jordan Walker has done so far. Just call us the Israelites because we're all about the Jordan! (There are other players not named Jordan also mentioned in this episode.)

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. Opening Day has come and gone and the season is starting to find its footing. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about the highs and lows from the first series with the Blue Jays. Are the Cardinals going to be the best offensive team of all time? How many homers will Brendan Donovan hit? And on the flip side, are the pitching performances cause for concern. Three games is just large enough of a sample for wild overreactions so come in and listen to some!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. So Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and David (@iPopEditor) were wrong earlier in the spring as Jordan Walker made the Opening Day roster. Is it good that he struggled late in camp and what do we expect from him? Lots of other interesting decisions as well, such as Packy Naughton over Genesis Cabrera and, apparently, Dylan Carlson over Juan Yepez, though the latter was something that wasn't really on the radar. Plenty of roster talk and then the guys talk about what they really like about Opening Day in St. Louis!

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 USA's semifinal win in the World Baseball Classic was definitely red-tinged as Adam Wainwright and Miles Mikolas limited the damage on the mound and Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt provided it at the plate. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about the WBC and the impact it has had around the world before moving into Cardinal related news. What was up with that 40-man roster move? Which relievers are heading north and which ones are going to Memphis? And, of course, the requisite Jordan Walker talk. It's jam-packed and ready for your listening ears!

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 David Jones (@iPopEditor) still filling in for Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman), he and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) try to go through some of the news from Jupiter and, given the World Baseball Classic, across the globe. Are we still concerned about Adam Wainwright after his WBC debut? How do you cut this roster to 26? And did you recognize any names in Sunday's lineup? Plenty of discussion as we get closer to decision time!

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 David Jones (@iPopEditor) sitting in for Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) again, he and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) talk about the phenom that is Jordan Walker and while a good week is exciting but not enough to change their thoughts about where he starts the season. They also talk about the velocity issues with Adam Wainwright and some of those that haven't been on the field much, such as Jack Flaherty and Paul DeJong. A week's worth of spring training games is more than enough to draw conclusions from, right? Tune in and see!

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 Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) off for a bit, Daniel welcomes in David Jones (@iPopEditor) for a few weeks to talk about all the things happening in Jupiter. Does the fact Giovanny Gallegos is still fighting with the pitch clock warrant mentioning? Is Jordan Walker already set for the Hall of Fame? What about the early results for Paul DeJong? Plus there's talk about the handshake that wasn't and the World Baseball Classic, so give it a listen!

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 new year but some things never change as Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) talk about the front office and their approach following John Mozeliak's comments from Winter Warmup. There's more than that in here, though! Who is going to be the player to up the hair game? Is Dakota Hudson really the best choice for a rebound pick? Was Matt Holliday's resignation all that surprising? Tara's in the best podcasting shape of her life (Daniel's dealing with a cold) so let's start talking Cardinal baseball!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) were supposed to record in their normal Sunday slot, but technology didn't cooperate. In the interim, a major piece of news came out. Cardinal broadcaster Dan McLaughlin was arrested for his third DUI. Daniel and Tara talk about what this means for him personally as well as the impact on the broadcast. They also get to the winter meetings, with the Cardinals in on Sean Murphy and apparently not ready to lose out on the services of Paul DeJong. It's a long show but it has to get you through until January!
