Ep. 23: MLB Draft STEAL?! Cardinals Draft LHP Liam Doyle With Fifth Overall Pick! Jul 14, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the St. Louis Cardinals drafting LHP Liam Doyle out of Tennessee, one of the most fiery players in the draft class, and a guy who certainly has the skill to back up his fire on the mound.

We dive into how the selection was available despite most mock drafts expecting Doyle to go earlier in the round, plus give nuggets on all four of the Cardinals picks from the night.

Also, the Cardinals won a game on Sunday between the rain drops!

Ep. 821: Will Arenado Need An IL Stint After Finger Injury Creeped Up Again Friday? Jul 12, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals losing to the Atlanta Braves on Friday night by a 6-5 score. Matthew Liberatore struggled out of the gate and never really recovered.

The bullpen was good, though, with Riley O'Brien and Matt Svanson throwing up zeroes to keep the Cards in the game.

The offense posted five runs in the early innings but were unable to get anything across the board thereafter.

Nolan Arenado left the game early due to an injury on his right index finger, which is something he has dealt with on and off for a couple weeks at this point.

Will the Cards decide to put him on the shelf to use the All-Star break to their advantage for his recovery timeline?

Ep. 820: Mikolas Bounces Back For Big Win | Cardinals Officially Sticking With Fedde For Saturday? Jul 11, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the big rebound performance from Miles Mikolas as the Cardinals beat the Nationals 8-1 at Busch Stadium on Thursday night. Really solid collective display from the offense, as well.

But we spend plenty of time in this episode discussing the news that Erick Fedde will start for the Cardinals again on Saturday despite previously believing the nod would go to Michael McGreevy.

We go in on John Mozeliak's tentative managerial style and decision-making, as it seems the POBO is still fearful of changing a status quo that isn't even working favorably for his team. After all this time? Always.

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the 8-2 loss for the St. Louis Cardinals to the Washington Nationals on Wednesday at Busch Stadium, and puts the loss in the context of the season as it pertains to how the Cardinals should approach the deadline upcoming for trades.

But then we get into more enjoyable topics, breaking down JJ Wetherholt's AAA debut with the Memphis Redbirds, in which he launched a home run and logged a triple.

When might we see the Cards top prospect at the big league level? We dissect that conversation in detail.

Ep. 818: Cardinals Knock Off Nats Behind Sonny Gray's Short But Effective Outing Jul 09, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 4-2 win over the Nationals from Tuesday night's game at Busch Stadium.

We break down why Sonny Gray departed after five innings and 70 pitches in the game.

We discuss the big swing by All-Star Brendan Donovan that got the Cardinals back into a tied game in the third inning, plus Lars Nootbaar's power stroke coming with wonderful timing after some interesting discussion about him on social media Tuesday.

Plus more thoughts on the impending returns from injury for Jordan Walker and Ivan Herrera.

Ep. 816: So The Cardinals Just Got Shut Out For The Fourth Time In A Week... Jul 02, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals losing in shutout fashion for the fourth time in the past week. What's going on with this offense that they are squandering a wonderful pitching performance like the one Andre Pallante delivered?

Pallante honestly outdueled Paul Skenes. But in the battle of the bullpens, the Cardinals fell short, failing to score for the second day in a row in Pittsburgh.

Ep. 815: Do the Cardinals have an Erick Fedde problem? Jul 01, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals 7-0 loss to the Pirates on Monday night in Pittsburgh as Erick Fedde blew up for the second straight start.

Is this a real problem brewing for the Cardinals or can they afford to stay patient given their solutions for rotation woes beyond plugging in Michael McGreevy are slim?
