Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 7-6 win over the Angels from Tuesday, May 14, 2024. 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 plate, which set up a thrilling final few frames as a result of the closely contested score. Ron Washington bailed out JoJo Romero in a major way in the eighth inning and Cowboy JoJo made sure not to waste the gift. Cardinals have won three in a row and will look to go for the jugular on Wednesday -- Can they get their first sweep of 2024?

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 happen Monday, let's just say that much. Would a more prolonged turnaround spare the jobs of the manager and hitting coach? What do the Cardinals need to do to maintain their success from the last couple of days? Plus, we scrutinize the handling of Matthew Liberatore as the Cardinals continue their search for consistency in the 5th starting rotation spot.

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 Sunday potentially calm the waters on that front? And a better question -- Should Mozeliak really be allowed to execute another managerial firing in the first place? He built the roster, after all.

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 given that the topic is getting some play from a prominent national podcast.

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 Goldschmidt at this point? Miles Mikolas, too, while we're at it. Follow this feed if you enjoy Cardinals content all season!

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. Kyle Gibson pitched well again for the Cardinals but spent a lot of his postgame comments discussing his belief in an offense that is destined to turn things around. He also hears how his comments might sound to a disgruntled fan base and addresses it in a self-aware conversation. Follow this feed for Cardinals content all season long!

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 potential coaching change? Or both? We discuss the factors as well as get into what in the world the team is supposed to do with Giovanny Gallegos at this point. Because his ERA is 12.00.

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 Sunday's start. Was this the right call? Oh, and Dylan Carlson is back to hopefully provide a boost to the lineup! SUBSCRIBE to this channel for Cardinals content all season long!

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 consistently goes about his business. (Yes, Willson does say a naughty word in the audio we're going to play and that's why I tagged this episode with an explicit warning in cased anybody prefers not to hear such content) More on Contreras, Arenado, Gray and how Burleson contributed to the proceedings as the DH without getting a single hit or getting on base once.

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?

Dylan Carlson hit a left-handed home run in a rehab start for AAA Memphis Thursday. Is he ready to return to bring a boost to the St. Louis lineup? 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 of other Cardinal topics inspired by the live chat on the stream.

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 starting rotation that was designed to log innings while admittedly giving up a few runs per game. St. Louis ranks in the bottom five of every relevant offensive category. What gives? Is it on the players? The coaches? Some combination of the two? What can bring this group of hitters, which seems capable on paper, out of the shadows and into a more robust and productive lineup?

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?

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, shoved the Cardinals into oblivion while setting a new career high in strikeouts. Fortunately, though, the Redbirds handled another former Cardinal pitcher in order to steal Game 1 away from the Tigers late. Game 2, though, didn't go the Cardinals' way. We talk major questions about Steven Matz, Giovanny Gallegos and Brandon Crawford after that unfortunate outing for St. Louis.

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 if it ever comes time to vote on it? Although this report is merely the signal of a very preliminary stage of the process, it does seem that the Cardinals could come knocking on the door of the public in the next two to five years asking for funding to upgrade this 18-year-old stadium.

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 Liberatore from becoming a walk-off victim?

Brenden Schaeffer hops on to discuss the Cardinals 4-2 loss to the Mets in 11 innings on Sunday, April 28, 2024. 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. Heck, it had more to do with something that happened Saturday than anything to do with the relievers who threw today. But more than anything, there was one key stat from Sunday's game that painted the picture.
