Ep. 546: Cardinals Win! Willson Contreras Sparks Rally To Sink Monty and The Snakes
April 25, 2024 02:47 - 49 minutes - 45.4 MBBrenden 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 wa...

Ep. 545: If that was "one of his better outings," expectations for Steven Matz are way too low
April 24, 2024 05:26 - 55 minutes - 50.4 MBBrenden 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 urge...

Ep. 543: Cardinals Waste Sonny Gray's Brilliance As They're Swept By Brewers
April 22, 2024 05:11 - 1 hour - 75.2 MBBrenden 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 th...
BONUS POD: The Cardinals Offense Owes Sonny Gray An Apology
April 22, 2024 01:46 - 18 minutes - 16.5 MBBrenden 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? Note: This is not B-Schaeff Daily for Sunday night. Another podcast will be recorded later on this evening to be posted for Monday morning's commute! --- Sen...
Ep. 542: Mikolas wastes rare run support from Cardinals lineup by coughing up three bombs to Brewers
April 21, 2024 05:20 - 39 minutes - 36.2 MBBrenden 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 be...

Ep. 541: Goldschmidt and Gorman Go 0-for-10 with 5 Ks as Cardinals bats cost team another game
April 20, 2024 07:24 - 38 minutes - 35.4 MBBrenden 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 th...
Low Hanging Fruit, Ep. 13: How Concerned Are You About Paul Goldschmidt?
April 19, 2024 19:10 - 55 minutes - 50.9 MBBrenden 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 ...
Ep. 540: The State Of The Cardinals With KMOX Clubhouse Reporter Ethan Hannaford!
April 19, 2024 01:03 - 49 minutes - 45.1 MBKMOX Cardinals Clubhouse Reporter and Lindenwood grad Ethan Hannaford joins Brenden Schaeffer on Ep. 540 of the B-Schaeff Daily podcast to discuss the St. Louis Cardinals after their 9-10 start to the season (4/18/24).

Ep. 539: Cardinals Can't Sweeps Oakland — St. Louis Offense Quiet Yet Again In Series Finale
April 18, 2024 03:25 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MBIn Ep. 539 of the St. Louis Cardinals podcast 'B-Schaeff Daily,' Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 6-3 loss to the Athletics from Wednesday as the offense failed to take full advantage of the six hits and five walks allowed by Paul Blackburn. Steven Matz was doing decently -- until he hit the dreaded fifth inning that seems to so often plague him. More discouraging signs from guys like Paul Goldschmidt make you wonder how long we can keep saying that it's still early for this offe...
Ep. 538: Lance Lynn Does It Again! Cardinal Bats Are Still Sleepy, But Pitching + Defense Beats A's Again
April 17, 2024 05:48 - 1 hour - 64.9 MBBrenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 3-2 win over the Athletics on Tuesday night, April 16, 2024. Following up Sonny Gray's electric outing from Monday, Lance Lynn guided the Cardinals through seven strong innings before the bullpen slammed the door. Ryan Helsley has pitched in every win so far this year for STL! It's a good thing, too, that St. Louis got the effort that it did from its pitchers -- because, yeah, the offense is still looking a little sluggish. How worrying is Paul G...
Ep. 537: Sonny Gray Deals Again, Oli Marmol Nearly Drops The Gloves With A Security Guard
April 16, 2024 06:00 - 1 hour - 69 MBBrenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 3-1 win over the Athletics on Monday, April 15, 2024. This audio comes from a YouTube Live stream that took place postgame Monday night. On another pitch limit, Sonny Gray worked with what he had to twirl six more scoreless innings, bringing his total for the season to 11.0 shutout frames. Offensively, the Cardinals didn't get much -- but they got enough to win the opening in Oakland. Oh, and Oli Marmol almost fought a security guard for some reas...
Ep. 536: Ol' friend Zac Gallen blanks the Cardinals, 5-0 -- Why does Masyn Winn keep riding the bench so often?
April 15, 2024 06:07 - 59 minutes - 54.4 MBBrenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 5-0 loss to the D-backs from Sunday, April 14, 2024. Masyn Winn was out of the lineup for the fourth time in 16 games with Brandon Crawford playing shortstop instead as Oli Marmol and the Cardinals continue to manage Winn's workload in the early going. But fans are wondering why a 22-year-old shortstop necessarily needs so much careful management of his workload. Brenden attempts to present some possible reasons for that in an episode that extend...
Ep. 535: Kyle Gibson was stunned that Lourdes Gurriel Jr. launched a well-located sinker for a game-altering swing
April 14, 2024 06:25 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MBBrenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday night, April 13, 2024. Kyle Gibson gave up a costly three-run home run to Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and after the game he conceded that he should have let Willson Contreras call the slider that he was angling for before PitchCom issues caused some problems for the St. Louis battery ahead of the fateful pitch to Gurriel. Even in giving credit to his catcher for a well-called game, though, Gibson said you'd have to...
Ep. 534: The kids are all right -- and Arenado, too! Cardinals handle D-backs in game one
April 13, 2024 06:22 - 1 hour - 68 MBBrenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 9-6 win over the D-backs on Friday, April 12, 2024 out in Arizona. This podcast is the audio from a live stream that took place on YouTube Live. (channel: youtube.com/@bschaeffer12) St. Louis erupted for six runs thanks to home runs from Nolan Arenado (finally!) and Lars Nootbaar (sheesh, took him long enough) to race out to a big lead. But Matz and Gallegos struggled in the fifth inning to allow for the game to begin anew. But how about the lineup...
Ep. 533: Jordan Montgomery Fires Scott Boras, Ohtani's Former Interpreter Is Formally Charged With Bank Fraud
April 12, 2024 04:12 - 43 minutes - 40 MBOn the Cardinals off-day, Brenden Schaeffer discusses Jordan Montgomery firing Scott Boras as his agent, moving forward with Wasserman Group instead after Boras bungled the free agency of Montgomery and his other clients this winter.

Ep. 532: Nootbaar Reportedly Returns Friday — And Victor Scott Is Staying Right Where He Is Despite Wednesday's Struggles
April 11, 2024 05:09 - 55 minutes - 50.8 MBBrenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 4-3 loss to the Phillies on Wednesday as rookie outfielder Victor Scott II had an unfortunate afternoon in the field and on the bases to contribute to the Redbirds dropping the series finale. But Brenden comes out in favor of the reported decision by the Cardinals not to overreact to that specific game with a move to demote Scott to Memphis upon the return of Lars Nootbaar, which will reportedly take place Friday in the Cardinals' next game. Katie...
Ep. 531: In Highly Anticipated Cardinals Debut, Sonny Gray Looks Like The Ace Who Was Promised
April 10, 2024 06:15 - 1 hour - 73.6 MBBrenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 3-0 win over the Phillies from Tuesday night, April 9, 2024. On a pitch count of 65, Sonny Gray went out and shut down the Philadelphia lineup for five scorless innings in his first appearance for the Cardinals. The bullpen was asked to carry more of the load than usual due to Gray's truncated availability, and the unit came through with a massive performance highlighted by JoJo Romero's gumption. Offensively, the Cardinals got just enough thanks ...
Ep. 530: The Cardinals NEED Their Best Players To Be Their Best Players -- Goldy, Gorman, Arenado Struggle Monday vs. Phils
April 09, 2024 07:01 - 40 minutes - 37.2 MBBrenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 5-3 loss to the Phillies in extra innings on Monday, April 8, 2024 at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals just didn't get much production from their lineup backing Miles Mikolas' strong start in this one. The problems are particularly noticeable as it pertains to 2-3-4 in the lineup with Goldschmidt, Gorman and Arenado combining to for 2-for-15 with 7 strikeouts. With runners at the corners in the 10th, the Nolans whiffed back-to-back to end the game. If...
Ep. 529: Sunday Was A Failed Start For Gibby — But Did He Also Still Do His Job?
April 08, 2024 17:07 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MBBrenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 10-3 loss to the Marlins from Sunday afternoon, April 7, 2024, at Busch Stadium. Kyle Gibson failed the team by giving up six runs in the first inning and effectively taking them out of the game before it ever really began. But did he also, in a way, do the exact job that the Cardinals signed him to do on those inevitable days where you don't have your best stuff as a pitcher? Gibby still got the team through six innings and saved the bullpen in a ...
Ep. 528: Do The Cardinals Deserve Some Credit For Cautious Handling Of Steven Matz? Because It's Paying Off!
April 07, 2024 14:29 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MBBrenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 3-1 win over the Marlins on Saturday, April 6, 2024 at Busch Stadium. Steven Matz dialed up another strong outing as he tossed five zeros on the scoreboard, lowering his ERA to 1.74 for the young season. The Cardinals had a very intentional, deliberate approach to Matz's spring, bringing him along on a slower pace than the rest of the team's starters. While it might be nice eventually to see Matz get deeper into games, it's hard to argue with the...

April 05, 2024 06:35 - 43 minutes - 39.7 MBBrenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 8-5 win over the Marlins in the home opener on Thursday, April 4, 2024. Ivan Herrera launched his first MLB home run. Lance Lynn gave the Cardinals a solid start but saw the wheels begin to fall off as he was removed from the outing after allowing a couple of fifth-inning homers. From there, the Cardinals found a way to put together a rally and got sturdy efforts from their relievers to hold together a victory in front of the Busch Stadium crowd ...
Ep. 526: Key Moments From Zack Thompson, Brandon Crawford And Nolan Arenado Stand Out As Cardinals Come Up Short Of A Sweep In San Diego
April 04, 2024 03:45 - 43 minutes - 39.9 MBBrenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 3-2 loss to the Padres on Wednesday, April 3, 2024 as Zack Thompson had an up-and-down start that included more free passes and fewer miles per hour than folks were hoping to see from the St. Louis starter. Nolan Arenado came up empty in a big late spot as the Cardinal offense failed to make the Padres pay for several walks and hit-by-pitches. Plus, a very unnerving defensive play from Brandon Crawford was ultimately equivalent to the difference i...

April 01, 2024 05:25 - 1 hour - 92.7 MBBrenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 5-4 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday Night Baseball as John King surrendered the crushing blow of a home run off the bat of Max Muncy to give LAD a lead that they would not relinquish.
