Nolan Arenado spoke with the St. Louis media upon his return to Busch Stadium on Monday afternoon before the start of the Cardinals vs. D-backs series. Arenado reflected upon his time in St. Louis and gave his thoughts on the 2026 Cardinals.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 3-2 win over the D-backs on Monday at Busch Stadium. Nolan Arenado returned to Busch as a visiting player after spending five years in St. Louis. Cardinal pitching, though, made sure Nado's return didn't steal the show. Andre Pallante handed it over to a tired bullpen, but the relievers picked up the mantle to guide the Redbirds home in a clos...

We missed a podcast after Saturday's win, and I needed to record some vertical videos Sunday morning for other reasons, so I decided to compile them into a podcast format here. If you want to catch up on my thoughts from Saturday's craziness, this is here for you! we'll get back to normal podcasts Sunday night but hopefully this is better than nothing for those who wanted me to weigh i...

Brenden Schaeffer spends 30 minutes on a Friday night breaking down the Cardinals 9-8 loss to the Twins, the Leahy outing, the Stanek moment, while also diving into the explanation for how all the Nolan Gorman-Blaze Jordan saga unfolded on Friday afternoon, too.

Nolan Gorman being pinch-hit for in the ninth inning in the game situation he was in still made sense, but it also spoke volumes about the way we're viewing his status with the team right now. Brenden explains why that is in the latest episode of B-Schaeff Daily after the Cardinals 5-4 loss to the Mets on Thursday.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 9-2 win over the Mets on Wednesday as Jordan Walker powered up once again, homering for the 17th time to set a new career high.

Riley O'Brien saved two of the three wins over the Reds this weekend, even if one of those saves came in more adventurous fashion than he intended. How does a closer bounce back from a dicey outing? Hear it from Riley himself as he describes his mentality in his marquee role for the Redbirds.

The Cardinals got the sweep over the Reds with a 5-3 win on Sunday at Busch. The pitching stood tall and the relentless Cardinals simply found another way to break through late in a game, for their 19th comeback win of 2026.

Audio from the Cardinals clubhouse as reporters heard from Lars Nootbaar after the outfielder played the hero in the Cardinals' 6-5 win over the Reds on Saturday.

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down one of the wildest wins of the season as the Cardinals come from behind to beat the Reds. The sixth inning had a seemingly golden opportunity slip away for St. Louis but it put the wheels in motion for a Lars Nootbaar at-bat in the eighth that would ultimately define the game. The ninth was pretty insane, too, with Riley O'Brien holding on for dear life -- how abo...
