Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. Actually, due to many different circumstances, it's been about a month since Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) have been able to sit down and talk about the Cardinals. Not a lot has changed, though there has been some news. What do we make of Sonny Gray and Willson Contreras wanting to stay while Nolan Arenado is open to leaving? Was last year's trade deadline a bust? Do the Rule 5 protection picks tell us something about the new front office focus? All that and 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 World Series is going on, and while Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk a bit about it, the Cardinals made some news of their own this week. What will Rob Cerfolio bring to the table from the Cleveland organization? What does this hire say about Chaim Bloom? Can Brant Brown make an impact on these hitters? Is there a risk? All that, some really bad jokes, and a tribute to a fallen STL radio show in this episode!

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 been quiet, which means Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) have to cast a wider net to find topics. Does the fact that Tommy Edman was NLCS MVP for the Dodgers mean that trade should go with the other trades of questionable vintage? What does the World Series matchup tell us and is it a good one? Jon Jay is back and Willie McGee steps aside. How much will that matter? A little conversation in the quiet time!

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 week out from that important press conference, it was a little quieter for the Cards. That doesn't mean Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) don't have things to talk about. The Cards have cut ties with hitting coach Turner Ward. What are the ramifications of that? How much was he to blame? There was also news on the broadcast front, with the potential of Diamond Sports dropping the team. Will it happen? Should it? It's a nice calm show after last week's chaos, so check it out!

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 season is over for the Redbirds and while Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) pause to address that a bit, the big news was the press conference held by ownership on Monday. The Chaim Bloom era is getting started with a focus on player development before taking on John Mozeliak's job in 2026. What else came out of the presser? How much credit or blame should Mo get? Where does ownership sit in all of this? What's this winter going to look like? It's a double-sized version of Gateway so come join the 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. At least Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) don't have to try to talk about the White Sox every week, so there are silver linings to everything. After marveling at those 120 losses, the guys get into what's going on with the Cardinals and what needs to change for next year. Does falling short of 3 million fans ring alarm bells? Do the words of Willson Contreras carry any weight? If the Cardinals were going to spend money, would we trust them to do it right? All this plus instant reaction to the firing of David Bell!

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 disappointing weekend in Canada, the Cards sit a game under .500 with just two weeks left to salvage something from 2024. Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) think the team can win some games but the real work seems to need to come from a front office that increasingly feels like they are throwing things at the wall. The discussion frames around center field, though other examples are in there as well. Should the club be playing the kids already? What needs to be the focus for a front office that might not be here in 2025? Can anything be done about hitting with runners in scoring position? A free-wheeling chat that you are invited to join!

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 very rough outing by Miles Mikolas, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) try to figure out his place on the team and how likely it is he'll be finishing out his contract in 2025. Gary Larocque stepped down as Director of Player Development this week. How important is this hire and what signs could we get from how they fill the role? The guys also talk about Paul Goldschmidt and finish up with a good and a bad category for the Cards this 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. With David (@iPopEditor) still on the IL, Daniel (@C70) goes to the bench to bring in legendary pinch-hitter Alex Crisafulli (@alexcards79) to talk about a good week of Cardinal baseball that probably means nothing in the grand scheme of things. What can we see in the last month that will make a difference for 2025? How smart can two guys that haven't seen a game in a while sound? Are the Cubs destined to rule the world (or at least the NL Central)? And we remember a former Cardinal as only a couple of '80s kids can.

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. Well, almost every week. For the first time in Gateway history, Daniel (@C70) flies solo. After talking about the upcoming temporary hosting change, he gets into where the Cardinals are after taking two of three from the Brewers and the Twins. Should we write them off? What's going to happen this winter? If you are looking for a nice white noise podcast to drift off to, we've got you covered!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. Waiting a day to record didn't really help Daniel (@C70) and David's (@iPopEditor) mood or patience with this current incarnation of the Redbirds. How frustrating are moral victories at this time? Will the club finish over .500 or will they finish in last place? What happens this winter--will change come then or even before? The guys hash it out with not a lot of optimism. You've been warned!

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!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) got together this weekend in Busch Stadium but that doesn't mean that they actually recorded anything. Instead, with a couple of days to process, the guys get into what the experience was like both for the new guy (David) and the old veteran (Daniel, obviously). They also discuss John Mozeliak's comments on player development, Jordan Walker, center field, the fifth starter, and much more as well as discussing the current state of the team. Daniel tells stories of how things used to be and David tunes him out as is right and proper.
