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 on the IL, David (@iPopEditor) is back to join Daniel (@C70) to talk about a club that seems to be just spinning its wheels. What are the real chances for October baseball? What should the club do with Jordan Walker? Which pitcher besides Sonny Gray do you trust? It's not the most upbeat show but this team isn't the most upbeat team right now either!

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 of recording, the trade deadline is less than 48 hours away and it's still not clear what the Cardinals will do. They plan to be buyers but Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) question if that is the right move for a team that feels like it's going to bob around .500 the rest of the way. The club sent Giovanny Gallegos packing, but was it for performance or was it a salary issue and if it's the latter, well, what in the world is going on here?

The guys also talk about potential trade pieces from the Cardinals as well as try to make sense of Sonny Gray's recent struggles. All this and the tightrope walking David does trying to stay cogent while on medication!

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 All-Star Break in the rear view mirror, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about the series against the Braves this weekend. Winning two of three is all you could ask for, but it wasn't enough to keep from losing ground in the division. How frustrating is that? The Cards have been tied to Erick Fedde in the trade market. Is that a good thing? Are there some warning signs? The lineup on Sunday had Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado out of the top 4. How long will that last? All this and much more!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis about the St. Louis Cardinals. While the Cards finished up the first half on Sunday, the bigger news was happening in Texas. Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) react to the selection of West Virginia SS JJ Weatherholt with the seventh overall pick. How did a player projected to maybe go 1-1 wind up available for St. Louis? Where is he going to play? How exciting is it to have this sort of talent in the organization?

The guys do get to the action on the field as well, trying to decide how much of the recent surge is a team coming together and how much of it is the schedule. What sort of concerns are there hanging around this team? How much could the right move at the trade deadline impact the division or the wild card race? Plus some talk about Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt to wrap it all 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. It wasn't always pretty but it was a successful week for the Cardinals, who have pushed deeper into the October picture with some victories. How does the last week change the trade deadline picture? How will the roster shake out with the returns of Lars Nootbaar, Ivan Herrera, and Tommy Edman? What did David learn by watching the Memphis Redbirds this week? Why did Ryan Helsley need MLB to step in and add him to the All-Star roster? All that and some draft talk in this week's 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. The Cards finished a 7-3 homestand by taking a series against the Braves and splitting a four gamer with the Reds. That's good! However, the run production was minimal and some of the pitching stalwarts got blown up. That's bad! Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) try to sort out exactly how they feel about this team with all its flaws. Plus discussion of the trade deadline, the All-Star Game, 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. It was an eventful week for the Cards, playing games in three states and winning a majority of them, even if it wasn't how you'd expect. Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about different ways to look at the Marlins series, from disappointment to bump in the road. They also discuss the Cardinals catching situation with the injury to Ivan Herrera as well as what the roster issues might be as people get healthy. There's also talk about the pitching, including a salute to Sonny Gray's game on Sunday. Finally, there's discussion about the Rickwood game and if there can be any icons any more. Longer running time but hopefully worth it!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis about the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cards took both series they played this week which should put a bounce in the step of Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor). There's still a lot of questions around this team, like what are they going to do for offense when Pedro Pages gets demoted? Miles Mikolas has been great and Andre Pallante has stepped up enough that the fifth starter question is about to get interesting. All that and much more!
