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

Latest Episodes:

Ep. 843: Burly Walks It Off... But What The Heck Happened With Willson? Aug 26, 2025

Show notes

Alec Burleson had the final say as the Cardinals walked off the Pirates on Monday night, but Willson Contreras certainly had plenty to say of his own.

We break down the night for Burly, Michael McGreevy, whether the Cardinals are closer to the Brewers or the Pirates in the hierarchy of the NL Central, plus Contreras' tirade against the home plate umpire that got him and Oli Marmol ejected from the game.

Ep. 843: Sandy Alcantara is MLB's WORST pitcher in 2025—except when he faces the Cardinals! Aug 21, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the St. Louis Cardinals loss to the Miami Marlins and Sandy Alcantara from Wednesday.

Alcantara, the former Cardinal, has a 6.04 ERA in 2025, but when he faces the Cardinals, he truly looks like his former self.

The 2022 Cy Young Award version of Sandy was back at it on Wednesday night in Miami, just another frustrating reality for the 2025 Cardinals season.

Why does this keep happening to the Cardinals? It's one of those things we just can't seem to explain.

Ep. 842: After Playing Short All Weekend, Cardinals Finally IL Brendan Donovan Aug 18, 2025

Show notes

The Brendan Donovan situation over the past week--not in a vacuum, but connected to other recent comments from John Mozeliak--is a sign that the Cardinals still aren't operating at max capacity when it comes to their organizational thinking within the front office.

Brenden produces a B-Schaeff Daily episode here to break down the situation after Monday's news that Donovan is hitting the IL.

Ep. 841: Why Is Colin Cowherd Spouting Off About St. Louis Cardinals Fans? Aug 16, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' loss to the Yankees on Friday night at Busch Stadium, but spends the majority of the podcast today talking about a bizarre tweet by national media host Colin Cowherd about the St. Louis Cardinals fan base.

We discuss why the tweet bothered Brenden and what he decided to do about it.

Ep. 840: Cardinals Lose AGAIN To Rockies | Why Mozeliak's New Quote On Wetherholt Is So Frustrating Aug 14, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals loss to the Rockies in a series that a playoff hopeful simply cannot afford to lose.

Plus, John Mozeliak gave a new quote to 101 ESPN on he topic of a possible September call-up for JJ Wetherholt and/or Quinn Mathews.

We discuss the quote and why it's pretty frustrating in terms of the way the Cardinals are managing their roster from a front office perspective.

Ep. 839: Donnie Rescues The Cardinals! Vibes Stay High! Can They Go On a Run? Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the Cardinals win over the Rockies 3-2 from Monday night at Busch Stadium.

Miles Mikolas was tremendous in a bounce-back outing for the Cards, while Kyle Leahy served as a bulk reliever and closing pitcher, essentially, within the same game!

Brendan Donovan's contributions were necessary off the bench as his pinch-double was the only reason they were able to claw back to beat the Rox!

(Note: Apologies that audio is slightly less quality today. I believed Streamyard ignored my settings and used my internal mic instead of my fancy mic for this video. Sorry! I'm a work in progress on tech).

Ep. 838: McGreevy Shows Growth As Cards Blank Cubs! Aug 09, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the St. Louis Cardinals 5-0 win over the Cubs from Friday night at Busch Stadium.

Michael McGreevy shined on the mound while Jordan Walker continued pushing things in the right direction with another big night at the plate!

Ep. 837: Yadier Molina Returns To The Cardinals Dugout TONIGHT! We Explain Why Aug 08, 2025

Show notes

Former St. Louis Cardinals great Yadier Molina will be in uniform and in the Cardinals dugout tonight and Saturday night as the Cards take on the Chicago Cubs at Busch Stadium. How did this come to be and what did Oliver Marmol think of the opportunity--and why it was so important?

And based on his response to a question from Brandon Kiley on 101 ESPN today, clearly Marmol is aware of the memes that will come about as a result of this--but he was clear that having an ego about this is the last thing on his mind when it comes to the reasoning behind why it's so important to have Yadi around this Cardinals team.

Plus, Quinn Mathews was excellent on Thursday night for AAA Memphis. When could we see him in St. Louis? I'll explain why his situation mirrors JJ Wetherholt.

Ep. 836: What Should The Cardinals Do About Miles Mikolas? Aug 06, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the latest rough outing for Miles Mikolas after Tuesday's 12-6 loss by the Cardinals against the Dodgers.

Is it too late to bother doing anything about Miles Mikolas at this point? Could a journeyman name from Triple-A like Aaron Wilkerson be a reasonable replacement if the Cardinals want to show a modicum of urgency to improve their status?

Ep. 835: Lars Nootbaar: Catch Of The Year? Sonny Shines, Plus Explaining Cardinals' Luken Baker Move Aug 05, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals winning an exciting game over the Dodgers on Monday night. Plus, why did Luken Baker get waived and how do we react to the overall trade deadline--and what do we wish the Cards and John Mozeliak might have done a little more of?
