    GTBH 5/3/26: Enjoying The Ride

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Even though the Cards lost on Sunday, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) were pretty pleased with the week that was.  Was Monday night in Pittsburgh a real turning point to the team?  Why is everyone concerned about Shohei Ohtani anyway?  And will the NL Central please stop winning?  It's been a great week and it's a fun show!

    GTBH 4/26/26: Crashing Back To Earth

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Last week, the Cards were flying high.  This week, reality thumped them in the face.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) spend a lot of time talking about the slumping bullpen, but the rotation and some of the bats (hello, Mr. Walker) get a little focus as well.  It's not all been bad....just most of it, but we knew that going in.  So was the winning a good thing or a bad thing?

    GTBH 4/19/26: Leaving Space City on a Rocket

    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 wasn't easy, but the Redbirds picked up their first sweep of the season, going to Houston and coming out with three straight Ws.  Is this team for real?  More reasonably, will they wind up better than the Mets this season?  How long can the pitching walk this tightrope?  Are some of the slumbering bats like Ivan Herrera and Masyn Winn waking up?  And is there hope for Nolan Gorman?  Can Victor Scott II get back to stealing bases?  So many points and a lot of them are positive!

    GTBH 4/13/26: After The Sugar Rush

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Things have started to taper off (well, not Jordan Walker) and some of the initial optimism about this team has faded.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) marvel over Walker, then get into some less happy things like the pitching rotation, Matt Svanson, and Nolan Gorman.  We thought it'd be a rough season going in and it's still looking like it, but there are silver linings in all clouds!

    GTBH 4/6/26: No One Said It Would Be Easy, But No One Said It'd Be This Hard

    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 are 5-5 in their first 10, but they were six outs away from being 6-4 and those six outs--or rather, what happened around the outs--happened right before this show which means Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) aren't in the most forgiving of moods.  The guys talk about the bullpen and when and how it might have a different look, then discuss the early highs and lows of Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman.  Dustin May's name gets dropped as well, so there's a mix of everything in this one!

    GTBH 3/29/26: One Series In The Books

    Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Soon after Sunday's final out, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) get together to discuss the series between the Cards and the Rays.  Is the bullpen going to be a major sore spot this season?  Can we trust this breakout by Jordan Walker?  Dustin May struggled--how disappointing was that?  All that and much more!

    GTBH 3/15/26: The Stage Is Being Set

    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 basketball season winds down, baseball season gets ready to fire up.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about some of the roster decisions made recently as well as things that have stood out in spring.  When do spring stats matter and when do they not?  Are we to the "trust the process" stage?  Should JJ Wetherholt lead off and is there any way Nelson Velazquez is not on this team?  All that and much more in this one!

    GTBH 3/8/26: Joshua Fit the Battle of Left Field

    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 spring training gets close to the midway point, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about some of the topics that have become interesting.  Tink Hence was sent down--while not a surprise, is it disappointing it happened so early?  Jordan Walker hasn't exactly lit things on fire.  Should there be concern?  A good bulk of the conversation, though, centers around Joshua Baez.  Can he make the roster?  Should he?  All that and much more!
