GTBH 11/2/25: Let the Second Season Begin
Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  OK, every week is a little bit of a stretch, but after a month away Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) finally get back to business.  The guys talk about some takeaways from the Chaim Bloom press conference, how exciting and interesting the 2025 playoffs were, and what they'd like to see from Bloom as the offseason trade and free agent market opens.  Good to be back, come give it a listen!

GTBH 9/28/25: No Mo' Mo, Bloom Gets To Bloom
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 2025 season has come to a close and Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) are here to mark the occasion.  Was intentionally walking Michael Busch on Saturday a good thing or a troll job?  Should the closing lineup have been a little more robust?  And the less said about Miles Mikolas the better.  The guys also talk about the upcoming press conferences by John Mozeliak and Chaim Bloom plus the fates of the no-trade-clause guys.  A rough season but, hey, we aren't Mets fans!

GTBH 9/21/25: The Home Curtain Comes Down
Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  We've seen the last of the Cardinals at Busch Stadium for 2025 and while there are still some more games, there was a lot of finality this weekend.  Miles Mikolas made his last start on the home mound, John Mozeliak watched his last games from the POBO suite, and Nolan Arenado walked off to a huge ovation without even playing.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about some of the endings and some of the beginnings, starting with Chaim Bloom and what he might do this winter.  How can Cardinal fans stay engaged when a rebuild is coming?  Let's find out together.

GTBH 9/14/25: Well, It Wasn't a Total Loss
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 very rough week for the Redbirds (well, not the Springfield ones) and Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) aren't terribly inclined to talk about it.  They do give some kudos to Miles Mikolas (of all people) while talking about the pitching problems next year may have.  Are we expecting too much from Chaim Bloom or will this actually be a busy offseason?  Plus Masyn Winn gets shut down, finally.  All that and more on this week's outing!

GTBH 9/8/25: Gray and Overcast
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 about to take on the Mariners, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) dive into a few things team related.  Would Sonny Gray waive his no-trade this winter?  Would the Cardinals actually be able to trade him?  How about the buzz around Jordan Walker this week?  Was it a big deal?  The guys also remember back to September 8, 1998.

GTBH 8/31/25: New Faces, Same Blahs
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 two of three from their closest wild card rival but splitting with Pittsburgh before that took a lot of wind out of the sails, if it was there to begin with.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about the flagging offense, what to watch for in September, and who the 2026 catcher might be among other things.  Spend your Labor Day with the guys!

GTBH 8/24/25: The Dog Days of the Season
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 mediocre week for the Cardinals as they made their Florida tour, but "mediocre" seems to be the word of the season so it's not a big surprise.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) wonder about Masyn Winn's knee, how the two factions in the front office are working together, and the frustration of watching this team.  We'll miss them when they are gone but they'll drive us crazy until then!

GTBH 8/17/25: Misery Loves Company
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 were just one Brendan Donovan pinch-hit away from being swept in two series this week by teams on both ends of the spectrum.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about the futility of the team and where it goes from here.  Would this season be different had Chaim Bloom taken over already?  What do you do with JJ Wetherholt?  What will we get out of Nathan Church?  All than and much more!

GTBH 8/10/25: Is There 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.  Another week closer to the end of the season and the Cardinals are still somewhat hanging around, 4 games out of a wild card spot as Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) record this episode.  Does that mean the flame of hope is still flickering?  If not, is there hope for next year?  When WILL there be hope, when a data chip gets sent to Princess Leia?  (Sorry, wrong fan interest)  The guys talk about the current and the future and try to read some tea leaves!

GTBH 8/5/25: What's Left?
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 trading deadline has come and gone and neither Daniel (@C70) or David (@iPopEditor) was all that enthused about it.  It was fine, but will any of the returns make it to the majors?  What about the roster and the clogs of bats that are there?  Will we see Nolan Arenado again?  Who will be the September callups?  It's a hodgepodge of a show but it might be more entertaining than the current Cardinals game, depending on when you listen.

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!

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!

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!
