Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. Sunday brought yet another memorable moment to the career of Albert Pujols and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) give his majesty his due, talking about 700, the emotion that Albert is playing with, and how clutch never goes out of style. Then they move to the rest of the lineup (will Sunday spark Dylan Carlson and Tyler O'Neill), the rotation (how good does it look with the new additions) and the bullpen (is anyone but Ryan Helsley truly trustworthy)? So much to talk about this week!

08/08/22 • 60 min

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 busy and rewarding week for the Cardinals, as it started with new pitchers being acquired and ended with a sweep of one of the best teams in baseball. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) break it all down and ponder what it means. Is John Mozeliak more of a fixer than a builder? Is it surprising the club moved on from Harrison Bader? What happens when Jack Flaherty is ready to return? All that and a salute to Mr. Nootbaar!

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 remarkably dry week, where the Cards went 19 innings without scoring a run and that didn't count the shutout mid-week by the Braves, the four runs scored today by St. Louis felt like a downpour. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) get into the various issues with the lineup, whether it's injury or fatigue or something else. They also get into the catching situation and whether it's a good thing Ivan Herrera got replaced by Austin Romine this week. They wrap up talking about Albert Pujols and the All-Stars going to LA. Give it a listen!

09/19/22 • 34 min

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. Sure, Albert Pujols hit another home run and Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina made history, but it still was a bit of a quiet week for the Cards. Are they just playing down to the level of their competition and can they step it up against the playoff teams that are next up? Should Albert be playing every day and what are the odds he hits a milestone homer when everyone in St. Louis is in bed? How surprising is it the legends are ending on a high note after the start of the season? Plus the Cubs are eliminated from playoff contention, so it's a good day!
