B-Schaeff Daily

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.

In Ep. 549 of B-Schaeff Daily, Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 7-4 win over the Mets from Saturday, April 27, 2024. Sonny Gray was stupendous once again, striking out nine hitters and allowing only one earned run over six innings. But he also issued a few walks, one of which becoming costly as it followed an uncharacteristic Nolan Arenado error. The four-run inning that followed the error only saw one earned run charged to Gray, but it led to a tighter score that meant Oli Marmol had to turn once again to his 7-8-9 guys out of the bullpen. Those guys have been absolutely insane, with the ERAs posted on the thumbnail to prove it. But overworking an elite bullpen can still lead to danger later in the year, so the Cardinals have to weigh these factors despite Saturday being a very positive win overall. The offense kicked things off the right way for a change, but it was another save situation for Ryan Helsley. Can Lance Lynn be efficient Sunday knowing the club will need him to be due to a worn out back end of the bullpen?

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 4-2 win over the Mets on Friday night at Citi Field. Ryan Helsley and the rest of the bullpen was nails again -- and the Cardinals have still needed Hels for each and every one of their wins on the season. Miles Mikolas gave the Cardinals a bit more than he had been providing while the offense got its start early thanks to homers by Burleson and Contreras. Why does it feel like the Cardinals are just hanging on for dear life in so many of their wins? Hey, at least it's working as often as it is. We explain the deal with Brandon Crawford's playing time and talk about one Cardinal pitching prospect who is absolutely lighting it up at one of the lower levels of the org.

Brenden Schaeffer and Josh Jacobs (Dealin' The Cards podcast) sit down to discuss a really interesting hypothetical. Could the Cardinals institute a mini-rebuild—perhaps more accurately, a retool—of not only the MLB roster but possibly the entire structure of the organization if 2024 doesn't live up to the hopes of ultimately fielding a contender in St. Louis? And if so, what exactly might that process look like? The boys were surprised to see how much fun the hypothetical pared-down version of the 2025 St. Louis Cardinals could actually be on paper, even after factoring in significant departures from the current team. With a reduced payroll, could a small step back be exactly the step forward the Cardinals need in the long run if they aren't able to right the ship this season? We discuss just about every relevant name searching for guys who could make sense for a thought experiment in which John Mozeliak steps out of the limelight. Could Chaim Bloom be prominently featured? The boys discuss various reasons why that could conceivably be the case.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, April 24, 2024 at Busch Stadium. Willson Contreras beat his former (occasional) batterymate Jordan Montgomery for a double in the sixth to help spark the Cardinals' scoring against Arizona. That's a moment that the Cardinal catcher probably enjoyed quiiiite a bit. Kyle Gibson was sturdy as nails for the Redbirds in six strong innings after he navigated a scary start to the day in the first. And what was the deal with Marmol taking Herrera out for defense late in the game? We dive into that decision and plenty else in Ep. 546 of B-Schaeff Daily!

Brenden Schaeffer hops on to discuss breaking news as the Cardinals have demoted Jordan Walker and Zack Thompson to Memphis in a roster shakeup Wednesday.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 14-1 loss to the D-backs on Tuesday, April 24, 2024 at Busch Stadium. Oli Marmol shared his belief that Steven Matz actually had one of his better outings on Tuesday, which just isn't something that makes sense to say for the manager in that postgame even if he believed it. Zack Thompson got shelled in relief and the offense went dormant again against a pitcher that they ought to have dominated. It's bad, all around. Do the Cardinals have the urgency to turn this around or are we looking at a 2023 redux? Because the momentum from Monday's walk-off is officially squandered after the nightmare of Tuesday's game.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals thrilling walk-off win over the Diamondbacks, 5-3 at Busch Stadium on Monday, April 22, 2024. Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Gorman played the heroes for the offense, launching deep home runs in key moments to help the Cardinals come from behind to win and end their four-game losing skid.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 2-0 loss to the Brewers in a live stream on YouTube, Sunday, April 22, 2024. This is the audio from that stream. Sonny Gray was masterful for St. Louis, posting 12 strikeouts in 6.1 innings. One ill-timed hit in the seventh made him the loser in the game as the Cardinals went 0-for-9 with RISP while leaving all 10 men that they put on base still stranded on those bases to end the inning. What do the Cardinals do about an offense that is costing them the season to this point -- but is supposed to be so much better than it's been?

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals poor offensive trends in 2024 after the club was shutout by the Brewers on Sunday, April 21, 2024 at Busch Stadium. Sonny Gray struck out 12 and pitched a great ball game... But it was all for naught as the lineup failed to contribute even one run. Does the lineup owe their ace an apology?

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 12-5 loss to the Brewers on Saturday at Busch Stadium (4/20/24) as Miles Mikolas had another start in which he was unable to get through five innings. Mikolas allowed three home runs to the Milwaukee lineup, wasting a rare example of quality run support provided by the Cardinal offense. The bullpen was rough, too, as the Cardinals dropped the second straight game to a division rival that too many folks might have been overlooking before the year began... Plenty of Cardinals topics discussed in this episodes including whether Marmol would mix up the lineup, what to do with Victor Scott, and more!

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 2-1 loss to the Brewers in 10 innings from Friday, April 19, 2024. The lineup is still struggling tremendously and it wasted a strong outing from Gibby in the process. Nolan Gorman picked up the golden sombrero with 4 Ks in an 0-for-5 effort. He stranded seven on base, including four runners with RISP and two outs. Paul Goldschmidt went 0-for-5, too, including a groundout with the bases loaded to end the ninth inning. His OPS is below .500 and there could be repercussions to other parts of the roster as Oli Marmol may have to consider accommodating for the massive woes of several star players.

Brenden Schaeffer and Charlie Marlow discuss how concerning the slow start is for Paul Goldschmidt, with boys guys giving their expectations for where the struggling slugger's OPS will finish at the end of the season. Plus, we get into other Cardinals topics including what lineup changes we might consider as a result of the current issues with the offense, what a 2025 1B tandem could look like if Goldy walks, and whether the Cardinals have learned from past examples of offering unnecessary contract extensions too early. Some Chaim Bloom talk and talk of the future of the organization, too. Plenty of goodies for Cards fans in this episode.
