B-Schaeff Daily: St. Louis Cardinals Talk, Every Day

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 7-2 win over the Red Sox on Saturday, May 18, 2024 at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals have continued to swing the bats well recently, racking up a ton of hits as every player in the lineup came up with at least one base knock on Saturday. But most importantly, they came through with a clutch late rally in order to seal the deal and set up another sweep c...

In Ep. 566 of B-Schaeff Daily, Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 10-6 win over the Boston Red Sox from Friday, May 17, 2024 at Busch Stadium. The offense was the star of the show Friday as the Cardinals mashed four home runs in the win, including Masyn Winn's first of the year and a key blast by a slumping Nolan Gorman to perhaps help him toward a turnaround. The Cardinals scored...

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the recent comments made by Cardinals team president Bill DeWitt III on 'The Kilcoyne Conversation' podcast with Martin Kilcoyne (hosted by the Scoops Sports Network). DeWitt referred to the notion of Cardinals fans deciding not to show up to games anymore in order to send a message to ownership regarding the fans' displeasure with the state of the club as a...

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the letdown by the Cardinals on Wednesday, May 15, 2024 as the opportunity to cement a sweep once again evaded St. Louis in a non-competitive 7-2 loss to the Angels. Instead of keeping up the momentum and securing a winning road trip, the Cardinals reverted back to their struggles with RISP and saw a further deterioration to their standing in the pitching staff and in p...

Brenden Schaeffer goes into more detail on the Ron Washington comments about Luis Guillorme's failed squeeze bunt that HE called for but did not want to take responsibility for the failure!

Ep. 563 of B-Schaeff Daily delves into big moments offensively by Pedro Pages and Alec Burleson as the offense for St. Louis posted its fourth straight game with a double-digit hit total. We get into the outing from Sonny Gray as the Cardinal ace left a few too many pitches over the heart of the plat...

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals improbable rally as they scored eight runs in the seventh inning on Monday to come from behind to beat the Angels. In Ep. 562 of B-Schaeff Daily, we discuss the big outing by the bats but shed skepticism over whether we can truly believe the offense is BACK until they do one particular thing that they have not yet been able to accomplish -- it didn't happe...

Brenden Schaeffer returns from his weekend hiatus at a wedding in NJ for a new B-Schaeff Daily discussing the weekend that was in Milwaukee but focusing heavily on the scrutiny and scuttlebutt that suggested the Cardinals could be close to making a move at manager. Mozeliak spoke to KMOX on Sunday morning, adding some fuel to the fire. Are the Cardinals close to firing Oli Marmol? Did the win Sund...

Brenden Schaeffer discusses a recent suggestion by the Talkin' Baseball podcast that the Cardinals could trade Nolan Arenado to a contender. If this season goes off the rails for St. Louis, would now be a sensible time to consider a drastic move like that for the Cardinals? It may only be plausible under a certain set of circumstances, but we'll revisit the notion for Ep. 560 of B-Schaeff Daily gi...

Read past the headline and get into the weeds with the guys as they lament the difficult situation currently facing the Cardinals. Follow this feed for Cardinals content all season long!

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' most brutal night of the season as Willson Contreras breaks his arm on a JD Martinez swing. It's the fractured left forearm that he suffered in Tuesday's loss to the Mets on Tuesday, May 7, 2024. Is this injury going to be too much for an already scuffling Cardinals team to overcome? And what the heck do you do about the struggles for Paul Gol...

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 4-3 loss to the Mets on Monday, May 6, 2024 at Busch Stadium. Oli Marmol said the at-bats early in the loss weren't competitive enough from the Cardinals hitters and we get into exactly what he meant by that. The candid presser from the postgame gets a lot of consideration in this episode as we attempt to ascertain where the team goes from here. K...

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 5-1 loss to the White Sox on Sunday, May 5, 2024 at Busch Stadium. Despite the majority of the pitching staff performing capably Sunday, the offense went silent yet again to ensure a series loss to the worst team in baseball. Does an embarrassment like this weekend inspire a drastic move from the Cardinals--either in terms or roster management or a potenti...

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down CB Bucknor's latest failure in the Cardinals extra-inning loss to the White Sox on Saturday, May 4, 2024. Bucknor blew the call on Ivan Herrera to end the game, and Brenden blew his instant analysis of the call. He'll explain how that happened in this episode! Plus, a look to Sunday as Matthew Liberatore will join the rotation in the Steven Matz spot, at least for Sun...

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 3-0 win over the White Sox on Friday, May 3, 2024 at Busch Stadium. Sonny Gray shoved again. He also took off all his clothes in the middle of the game -- don't worry, he was in the clubhouse for that part. How Sonny felt that moment helped him to reset mentally, plus the *colorful* language Willson Contreras used to described Gray and the way he consi...

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down Friday's news that the Cardinals have placed LHP Steven Matz on the injured list with a lower back strain. Kyle Leahy was recalled by the team, but Brenden explains why he won't be the option to replace Matz in the rotation when his turn comes about next time. So who will be the replacement for Matz? Brenden dives into a few of the candidates that could be con...

Brenden Schaeffer discusses St. Louis Cardinals baseball in a YouTube Live stream on the Cardinal off-day, May 2, 2024.

Who will/should replace Steven Matz in the rotation if an IL stint is in his future? We talked about these topics as well as dozens...

Brenden Schaeffer and Charlie Marlow present Ep. 15 of Low Hanging Fruit. The boys spend a lot of time discussing the woes of the offense, whether the Cardinals get the most out of their players' talent level--which opens up a larger conversation about the decline of the player development strategies and success level of the organization in recent years. Subscribe to both Brenden's and Cha...

In Ep. 553 of B-Schaeff Daily, Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 4-1 loss to the Tigers on Wednesday, May 1, 2024. The Cardinals have to figure this thing out offensively. Something's got to give, as the team has now scored three or fewer runs in 19 of their 31 games. It's the complete opposite trend of the type of team they needed to be at the plate in order to accommodate a...

Andy and Brenden of the KTGR Big Show discuss the Cardinals-Tigers series after 27 innings in 24 hours. Are the Cardinals players solely to blame for their struggles at the plate? Or should the organizational approach and hitting coach Turner Ward bear some of the responsibility for what we're seeing? You can listen to the Big Show on KTGR radio in Mid-Missouri and on KTGR.com weekdays from 4-...

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the Cardinals doubleheader split against the Tigers in Detroit on April 30, 2024. Game 1 featured a great pitchers' duel between former Cardinal Jack Flaherty and Kyle Gibson, who traversed seven innings to continue his streak of innings hoarding. His ERA is now below 4.00 as Gibby has been just what the doctor ordered for this rotation. Flaherty, of course, shove...

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the recent Riverfront Times article that reported that the Cardinals plan to request public funding in the neighborhood of $500 to $600 million for renovations to Busch Stadium. What exactly are the renovations needed? What is the timeline for this potential project? And comparing it to recent examples across sports, how do we expect the public to react to this request...

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 4-2 loss to the Mets on Sunday night in a YouTube live stream. This is the audio recreation of that stream. The bullpen came in depleted after the 7-8-9 guys handled Games 1 and 2. But it turned out others were capable of stepping into the void... Until they weren't.' Why couldn't the offense lift a finger in this one to spare Matt Liberat...

In a preview of the topics that will be discussed on B-Schaeff Daily later Sunday night, we get into several topics including the performance of the bullpen Sunday -- which was actually exceptional despite the way the game ended -- as well as the REAL reason the Cardinals lost this game...
