In the first of what will hopefully be a series of trade deadline shows, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Richard McGill (Playing Catch Pod, @RichardMcGill89) talk about the winds surrounding the Cardinals as the deadline is a week away. Katie Woo is reporting that the Cards may extend Jordan Hicks instead of trading him. Is that a good move? Katie's also saying the club may not trade Tyler O'Neill. Posturing or is there something to that? The Dodgers traded for a utility guy, so where does that leave Paul DeJong? Listen as the guys try to sort through some of the reports as a potentially busy deadline approaches! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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 put together a little run this week but three straight losses at Wrigley Field seem to have quenched whatever candle of hope they had for this season.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about where the Cardinals are and where they should be in eight days.  Who should be gone by this time next week?  What sort of return should the club be seeing?  Is Dylan Carlson on the block and if so, why is he not playing every day?  Plus the guys get into the return of Adam Wainwright and debate who was better, Scott Rolen or Nolan Arenado.  Plenty of baseball discussion in here so come join us!

Can you ever win at the wrong time? The Cardinals might be doing just that, running off six wins in eight games since the All-Star Break. However, John Mozeliak has already said that they'll be sellers at the break. Should they change their mind? Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and guest host Alex (@alexcards79) ponder that question and other things around the trade deadline. Is the 2007 season instructive at all? Will any player expected to move stay put? What will make this a successful trade deadline? Does the Genesis Cabrera deal speak at all to what the market will be like? Come for all that, stay for all the rabbit holes these two guys go down! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's the All-Star Break, finally, and it's a good time to take stock of the situation. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) tapped a few other Cardinal podcasters to look back at the first half and ahead to the second. Nate (Talking About Birds, @TalkAboutBirds), David (Gateway to Baseball Heaven, @iPopEditor), and Ben (Cardinals Off Day, @b_g_h) come together to commiserate about such an unusual season in St. Louis. What has been the most frustrating? Are there leadership problems? Why is the baserunning so bad?

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 the All-Star Break and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and David (@iPopEditor) are looking forward to the break and what lays beyond.  Will the Cardinals be able to put together any sort of run or is the selloff on its way?  Is there an excitement about who the Cards may trade?  The ASB also means the MLB draft these days and David gives a brief rundown on St. Louis's first pick, OF Chase Davis from Arizona.  Come and 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.  The Cards took a series against the Yankees after coming oh-so-close to doing the same against the Astros.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and David (@iPopEditor) aren't necessarily feeling an upswing, though.  What's the worst case scenario for this team this year?  What sort of trade return should the Cards be looking for with players such as Jordan Montgomery and Jack Flaherty?  What would the rotation look like without those players?  Then the guys spend some time on the Twitter issues around Adam Wainwright this week and reaffirm their fondness for Uncle Charlie.

Another week and the Cardinals are not any closer to finding purchase or figuring things out. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) look at a .500 week since the last show and discuss whether the white flag is coming out or already flying freely. Adam Wainwright is struggling a lot. Is this just Father Time or can he make adjustments for a better second half? Does it even matter when it comes to his rotation spot? Why is Tommy Edman still playing the outfield every day? What kind of deals will John Mozeliak pull at the trade deadline? Come and spend a little time with us talking 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 Redbirds went across the pond this weekend, splitting the series against the Cubs and saving themselves from an international debacle.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about the two games and what they meant for the season.  Was Adam Wainwright's start an aberration?  Was Jake Woodford the London MVP?  Will going to London be a hurdle for this coming week?  The guys also talk about trades and hope for this season and beyond, so give it a listen!

They usually don't let you take toxic things through customs but somehow the Cardinals took their whole game to London anyway. After the first game implosion, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about where this team stands as we get closer and closer to the halfway mark. Is there any real hope for a resurgence? Is John Mozeliak right that the Cards shouldn't rebuild? What sort of trades should the front office be looking at? The season isn't over, but should it be treated as such? All this and much more! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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 week off, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and David (@iPopEditor) come together to try to determine if the current Cardinals winning streak is a fluke, a mirage, or the start of something real.  What can you take from seeing the Mets and Nationals?  Is this London trip coming at exactly the wrong time?  When do the Cardinals have to decide who they are?  All this and a couple of high points so come listen in!

A full week without a Cardinals victory used to be unheard of but now is becoming depressingly regular. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the depressing state of the team currently. How frustrating is it to know even when things go right, the club can still lose? That every facet of the team has let them down? John Mozeliak talks about a lot of baseball left but there's not that much time before trade deadline decisions have to be made. What does that look like for this club? It's a rough time for us fans but we can get through it together! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's the last of the bonus shows (if you have missed it, the regular show is back there after these extras) and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) talks with Brian Salvatore (@BrianNeedsaNap, @HRApplesauce), co-founder of the Fans First Sports Network (@FansFirstSN). Both the Cardinals and the Mets have been disappointing this year and the guys talk about the similarities and the differences in those frustrations. There are positives in New York as well and Brian highlights those before they discuss the pitching matchups, most notably Adam Wainwright going against the Mets. After that, it's only fair to talk about Brian's favorite Cardinals/Mets memories! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

With the Cardinals making the trip across the pond next weekend, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) thought it was a great time to sit down and talk with Dave of the St. Louis Cardinals UK Podcast (@hayesunit). It always interesting to hear how someone outside the US came to baseball and the guys cover that as well as how Dave deals with the time difference, how he picked the Cardinals, and what the atmosphere is like as his country gets ready to host our national pastime. For once, the British guy isn't the villain so come give a listen! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Two straight wins makes for a more upbeat show, though Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) don't shy away from the problems that the Cardinals continue to have. What's up with Dylan Carlson not playing center field? Is the pitching rotation starting to come into focus with Miles Mikolas and Jack Flaherty on strong runs? Who could be moved at the trade deadline? Which Paul DeJong is the real Paul DeJong? All that and more on this week's show! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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 another week of mediocre play culminating in a sweep in Pittsburgh, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and David (@iPopEditor) ask the question: is this really what this team is?  Where's the hope that things will turn around? Is there any part of this team that is actually clicking?  There's a lot of ranting in this one but there's also a couple of positive stories at the end so it's not all terrible!

You should never go to the grocery store hungry and you should never podcast after a disappointing loss. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) had their recording time scheduled, though, so they have to ponder the Cardinals dropping another frustrating loss on the fanbase Friday night. Are we seeing 2007 again? Will Steven Matz stay in the bullpen all year or will he return to the rotation? How has the outfield injuries affected the trade possibilities? Come join us as we discuss this maddening team! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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 went to Ohio and all they got was three wins and this lousy T-shirt.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about the disappointments of this week and some general thoughts about the team as a whole.  Will Steven Matz really be pulled from the rotation?  Will Alec Burleson's metrics and his results ever sync up?  What sort of lineup should the Cardinals be trying?  All this and much more in an extra-long edition!

Thanks to all the great guests and guest hosts--he'll take it from here. Allen (@amedlock1), fresh off his high school baseball season and school year, returns to the program (and makes his Fans First Sports Network debut) to talk about all things with Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70). After an update on the Tulsa Hale Rangers, the guys dive into an overview of the season so far, talking about the weaknesses of the rotation and the strengths of the lineup. Would a Tyler O'Neill trade hurt even if he succeeded elsewhere? Is Jack Flaherty a change of scenery candidate? What is going on with this front office? The guys work over a lot of things in the manner you've become accustomed to so come in and listen to the conversation! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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 hoping for a 4-3 week, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and David (@iPopEditor) were pleasantly surprised when the Cards went 5-2 against Milwaukee and the Dodgers, moving out of last place and filling in some of that hole that they dug.  Are they for real, though?  Can the offense make up for a less-than-stellar pitching staff?  Is Paul DeJong going to be able to continue this and what does this mean for his options this winter?  All of this and a lot more about a great week of Cardinal baseball!

The St. Louis Cardinals have put together a good stretch of baseball and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Alex (@alexcards79) are glad to have some high points to talk about. The offense is remarkably astounding--is it all because Nolan Arenado has started to remember his true form? Can they dig out completely from the April hole? Not everything is hunky-dory, of course, and the rotation still leaves something to be desired. How surprising is it that the Cards went to a six man rotation to fit in Matthew Liberatore? Should the Cards scrap the Zack Thompson-as-starter experiment and use him to replace Genesis Cabrera? All that plus a couple of rabbit trails! Learn more about your ad choices.

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 the best week of the Cardinals' season, as they piled up over 30% of their 2023 wins in the six game span since the last show.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and David (@iPopEditor) rejoice over the return to form by the club and talk about some of the reasons things are trending upward.  Not everything is fixed, though, and they discuss some of the problems as well.  Plus is Willson Contreras returning behind the plate because he's figured everything out or because no one puts Nolan Gorman in a corner?

Willson Contreras. The pitching staff. Jordan Walker. The St. Louis Cardinals have made a lot of, shall we say, interesting moves this season. Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) sits down with Kyle Reis (@kyler416) to talk about this whole thing both in the specifics and as an overall look at the organization. Is the front office panicking? Does the shadow of Yadier Molina really continue to obscure the 2023 squad? Even though he's been solid for so long, is the game starting to pass John Mozeliak by? All that, plus thoughts on Zac Gallen's comments, Jordan Walker's development, Masyn Winn's handiwork, Don Denkinger's passing, and even some Star Wars talk at the end. Something for everyone!

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 another dystopian week for the Cards, broken up only by a win on Sunday.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about the struggles on the field but spend much of the time debating the merits and flaws of the Cardinals current plan to take catcher Willson Contreras and make him....not catch.  Is this the kind of drastic move this team needs?  Does it ruin the tenuous relationship the club has with a guy that was supposed to be a core piece?  Should the pitching staff take more responsibility?  All that and more about a very miserable week, so if that doesn't get you to tune in, I don't know what will.

Since our last episode, the Cardinals have done a lot of things but winning a game isn't one of them. As Friday night's outing against the Tigers unfolds, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Alex (@alexcards79) discuss the myriad of problems surrounding this team. Would a shakeup help and how could the club go about it? Does the front office feel panic? Is it time to move on from Tyler O'Neill? All of these things and many others in an extra-long show!

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 little bit different listen this week as Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and David (@iPopEditor) honor the life and career of Mike Shannon, who passed away late Saturday night.  The guys talk about Shannon's enduring legacy and various clips of his work are scattered throughout the show.  They can't look back forever, though, and they tackle the terrible week and month of Cardinal baseball and search for some answers.  Will a shakeup come on the off day?  Was demoting Jordan Walker the right move?  Has Jordan Hicks figured it out?  Can anyone else pitch like Jordan Montgomery?  All this and discussions about people not named Jordan in this special episode!

It's been another rough week of St. Louis Cardinals baseball and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Alex (@alexcards79) look for silver linings while processing everything that's happened. The guys go through questions submitted by listeners on Twitter this week to talk about things like how much the super-level veteran leadership affected things last year and the absence has impacted this year, what sort of trade the Cardinals might make, and the poses they'd like to see for statues of Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina. There's also the news of the week, Paul DeJong and Jordan Walker version, to pass the time as well. Come join the conversation! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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 keep thinking that the Cards will turn a corner and, week after week, we find ourselves disappointed.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and David (@iPopEditor) look at all the problems that the club is having and try to see if things are actually improving.  Jack Flaherty made a quality start on Sunday, only the third of the season for a Redbird starter.  How can the rotation be improved?  Can the offense start clicking?  And how bad would this team be without Nolan Gorman?  And is that actually Paul DeJong?  All this and more!

With some of his regular conversation companions unavailable, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) goes to the pen and brings in Russ Robinson (Redbird Rants, @frrobinson1957) to talk about another middling week for the Cardinals. How concerning is it to be in the bottom part of the division as the season closes in on finishing its first month? Does this West Coast swing add to those worries? Can we be encouraged over Jordan Hicks's last couple of outings and what will Adam Wainwright bring when he returns to the rotation? And just how is Mo going to be able to manage this roster? All this and much more! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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!

It was a better week of Cardinal baseball, at least in the results category. Two wins against Colorado had the team looking better as it came to Busch, though the first game of the Pirates series left much to be desired. As the Cardinals played game two of the four game set, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and guest host Alex Crisafulli (@alexcards79) were joined by CBS Sports writer Dayn Perry (@daynperry), who has started up a Cardinals-focused Substack called Birdy Work (birdywork.substack.com). After talking about this project and his history with writing, the guys dive into all the issues surround the St. Louis Cardinals. Is the pitching staff going to be OK? What happens to Jake Woodford with Adam Wainwright about to rehab and Matthew Liberatore going strong in Memphis? Is there hope for Jordan Hicks? What's the level of concern around Willson Contreras? All that and thoughts on Jordan Walker and others so come in and join the discussion! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.)

We've got a week's worth of games to talk about but, save for Jordan Walker, not a whole lot of upbeat topics. Still, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Alex (@alexcards79) muddle through, discussing the pitching staff and the drama that this team has had so far. What kind of concern level is there over Jack Flaherty? Has Miles Mikolas been as bad as it seems? Do you have hope for Jordan Hicks? All that plus the Marmol/O'Neill throwdown (which, thankfully for Oli, wasn't physical). It's been a week, hasn't it? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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!

And here we go! The 2023 season is now underway and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and guest Blake Newberry (Viva El Birdos, @bt_newberry) are ready to wildly overreact to the first couple of games. Is there any concern from the outings of Miles Mikolas and Jack Flaherty? What should we make of Jordan Hicks? And how fun is this offense going to be this season? Plus, because Blake's the expert, a little prospect talk including the Question of Masyn Winn. All that and more! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) invites both sides of the Cardinals Off Day podcast, Ben Godar (@bengodar) and Ben Humphries (@b_g_h) to fill in the co-host chair while Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) continues the high school baseball activities.  Roster decisions became clearer this week with the injuries to Adam Wainwright and Paul DeJong.  How does the rotation look and are there concerns about Waino's return?  Who would be the first man up, Dakota Hudson or Matthew Liberatore?  Does the order of the rotation matter at all?  There's also talk about the middle infield now that DeJong has cleared the way for some other folks on the roster.  All that and much more, plus a show announcement, are waiting for you within!

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!

With Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) still molding young minds and improving his players, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) sits down with Richard McGill (@RichardMcGill89) of the Playing Catch podcast.  They talk about why Richard and his son Truman started their show and how its going before diving into the Cardinal talk.  The Cardinals made a 40-man roster move this week--was it for Jordan Walker and why make it now?  The rotation has looked sharp in spring, should we expect that going forward?  And how in the world are we expected to know the Opening Day roster?  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.  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!

It's Lars Nootbaar's world and we're all just living in it.  The Cardinal outfielder is the biggest thing to hit Japan since a certain kaiju.  With Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) still doing the coaching thing, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) teamed up with Nate and Ben from the Talking About Birds podcast (@TalkAboutBirds) to discuss how in the world Nootbaar became the most recognized Cardinal across the globe.  The guys also get into everyone's favorite topic, Jordan Walker, as well as the man who has had perhaps the better spring training.  Questions about Paul DeJong and Jordan Hicks are answered and there's even time for Nate to bring one of their podcast staples out and host a game show.  It's an offbeat hour of great Cardinal conversation!

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!

With Allen's (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) season getting started at Tulsa Hale, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) brings in Ben Cerutti (Birds on the Black, @stlfanbc7) to talk about a full week of spring training.  While none of these results should be taken with anything but a grain of salt, there's still a lot of interesting things to talk about.  Jordan Walker continues to make a case for starting in St. Louis--can it really happen?  Masyn Winn is holding his own at short while Paul DeJong can't get on the field, but does that matter?  What about Adam Wainwright's velocity questions?  Then the guys dig into Ben's patented projection system and talk about some of the highlights and interesting numbers.  Come join the discussion!

Seasons are starting, whether it's high school (where Allen, Mr. Red Dirt Redbird and @amedlock1, is at) or professional (at least, the exhibition version).  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) brings in Russ Robinson (Redbird Rants, @frrobinson1957) to talk about goings on in camp on the eve of the Cardinals' first spring training game.  Does the fact that Tyler O'Neill wants to play center cause a rift with Dylan Carlson?  Can Giovanny Gallegos pitch faster or does he continue to do his impression of Daniel trying to get to a point?  Also, is there any chance anyone gets into the Cardinal Hall of Fame this year other than David Freese?  Be sure to stick around when Russ throws a whole can of gasoline on the HOF fire!

Pitchers and catchers (and other players) have reported to Jupiter and the baseballs are flying, either in bullpens or batting practice.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) brings in Alex (Birds on the Black, @alexcards79) with Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) still on assignment to talk about things in Jupiter.  The guys honor Tim McCarver after his passing this week and discuss how many Cardinal icons have left us in the last few years.  Then they focus on this team, talking about what they've seen so far in camp and how much, if any of it, matters.  Finally there's discussion about arbitration, most specifically the case involving Ryan Helsley.  Come on in and enjoy the conversation!

With Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) on assignment, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) is fortunate enough to rope in prospect guru and all around great guy Kyle Reis (Birds on the Black, @kyler416) for a little chat.  The guys talk about the World Baseball Classic, combating the hype around certain players, and how the organization values its farm system.  And, of course, we get into the Dirty 50 list Kyle is putting out there at Birds on the Black!  All this plus a little Star Wars, Marvel, and DC discussion so come on in and give it a listen!

It's Episode #300 in Best Dans/MMM history (and the 100th with the current theme song by Some Guy Named Robb) and Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) doesn't have Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) but instead gets to chat with Jason Hill (Viva El Birdos, @JPHill_Cards) about Cardinal things.  The two spend most of the time using the roster possibilities as the backbone of their conversation.  Do we believe in the changes Paul DeJong is making?  Is Nolan Gorman a lock for the team?  Who makes up the bullpen and is there a way Dakota Hudson isn't on this squad for the opener?  All that plus Rolen to the HOF talk and a little discussion of the new broadcaster.  It's an oversized episode but it's a good one!

With weather issues keeping Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) away, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) sits down solo to talk with Katie Woo (The Athletic, @katiejwoo) about a host of topics, including the fact that Katie finally gets a normal spring training.  What is she looking for when she heads to Jupiter?  What was it like last year, with Albert, Yadi, Waino, and the MVP boys?  What struck her out of the interviews at Winter Warm-Up?  What's more meaningful, being Missouri Sportswriter of the Year or winning Top Cards on Twitter again?  All the important stuff packed into an hour of great Cardinal talk!

With Allen (Red Dirt Redbird, @amedlock1) away on assignment, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) trades jibes with Brenden Schaeffer (KMOV, @bschaeffer12) while talking about the state of the Cardinals in 2022 and 2023.  What was it like for Brenden to cover Albert Pujols after watching him as a fan growing up?  How crazy was last year and how much should we remember the disappointing ending?  Will the Cardinals ever make the big move and would it matter if they were in a different division?  Plenty of talk about what makes this team tick so come on and 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!
