Ep. 814: GORM CRUSHES ONE! The Left-On-Left Homer Guides Cardinals To SWEEEP In Cleveland! Jun 30, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the St. Louis Cardinals sweep of the Cleveland Guardians as the Cardinals won the finale of the series 7-0 on Sunday.

Nolan Gorman set the tone of the game in the first inning, refusing to let lefty Logan Allen off the hook for his first inning troubles. A massive homer for Gorman gave the Cardinals the lead.

Despite not having his best command, Matthew Liberatore never relinquished that lead, throwing six scoreless innings to shave more points off his ERA and put the Cardinals in the right position for a run on the rest of this road trip.

Ep. 813: Mikolas falters... Doesn't matter! These Cardinals always seem to find a way! Jun 29, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the St. Louis Cardinals comeback win over the Guardians on Saturday, 9-6.

After falling behind 6-1, the Cardinals figured out a way to battle back, chasing the Cleveland starter from the game and continuing to hammer away at the bullpen.

Can the Cards find a sweep on Sunday morning?

Checking in on the minor leagues, the Cardinals affiliates also had a huge day at the plate, including Jordan Walker's rehab and Nathan Church's continued success with the bat.

Ep. 812: ONE-HITTER! A MADDUX For Sonny Gray! HE Was SUPERB! Jun 28, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the masterful Sonny Gray performance from Friday as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Guardians 5-0. Sonny threw a one-hitter, a shutout, a MADDUX (fewer than 100 pitches) by retiring the Cleveland lineup for 27 outs on just 89 pitches, walking none, giving up just one hit, and somehow doing those amazing efficient things while striking out 11 batters.

He was as good as we've ever seen, and doled out a lot of credits to his teammates, especially Pedro Pages, after the win.

Pedro contributed, too, at the plate with a homer, and Alec Burleson also went yard. Lots of good vibes for the Cardinals to begin the road trip!

Ep. 811: A Philosophical Differences Reunion! Did The Cardinals Mess Up Not Trading Fedde Last Winter? Jun 26, 2025

Show notes

Born of a small difference in philosophy on Twitter, Brenden Schaeffer and Josh Jacobs jumped into the podcast studio to debate whether the Cardinals should have traded Erick Fedde in the winter.

Of course, this comes after a game in which Fedde gave up seven runs and did not get through the fourth inning, so it's going to be tougher for Brenden to defend his stance - the only reason the Cardinals got Fedde in the first place was to have him as a cost-controlled rotation arm in 2025.

But Josh thinks John Mozeliak should have been more creative in establishing the rotation plans this year, which could have included a refresh for Fedde's slot while getting what you could for him via trade in the winter or spring.

We debate and discuss that and plenty of other Cardinals topics on a special crossover of B-Schaeff Daily and Philosophical Differences (which may be making a comeback!).

Ep. 810: WIN OF THE YEAR?! Cardinals SURVIVE The Cubs In An 8-7 Thriller! Jun 25, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the thrilling 8-7 win for the St. Louis Cardinals over the Chicago Cubs from Tuesday night at Busch Stadium as the Cardinals highwire act goes right down to the final pitch of the game in this one.

We discuss the concerns for guys like Matz and Helsley while evaluating the outing for Michael McGreevy for what it was.

The offense is a high point of the discussion as we highlight the recent surge for Nolan Gorman. Masyn Winn was incredible Tuesday, including a heads-up baserunning play on PCA that proved to be the difference in the final score of the game.

Plenty to get into from this one!

Ep. 809: The Cardinals BLAST Ben Brown & Cubs With FOUR 2-Run Homers! Libby Was Brilliant, Too! Jun 24, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals 8-2 win over the Chicago Cubs from Monday night at Busch Stadium as the Cardinals lefties feasted on Cubs starter Ben Brown. The Cardinals slugged four two-run homers off Brown, all of which came by left-handed hitters.

The other notable lefty for St. Louis was Matthew Liberatore, the starter who logged seven innings and came up with one of the most crucial pitch selections and executions of the season in a key fifth-inning spot against Ian Happ.Follow this podcast feed for Cardinals coverage all year!

Ep. 808: Cardinals Stifled By Andrew Abbott | Why Did They Send Granillo Back To AAA? Jun 23, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1 loss to the Reds on Sunday at Busch Stadium.

Andrew Abbott set the Cardinals down in order with relative ease all afternoon, but Miles Mikolas threw a solid game in his own right. The lineup simply did not back him up on a hot day in downtown St. Louis.

The Cardinals optioned Andre Granillo to Memphis for Gordon Graceffo ahead of the game Sunday.

We explain the reason behind that roster move and debate whether another move could be coming Monday to prepare the bullpen for the rigors of a four-game series with the Cubs.

Plus, in down on the farm. Tekoah Roby was masterful Sunday in Memphis. The Springfield starter also is making a name for himself after an eye-popping strikeout total Sunday.

Ep. 807: Pozo plays hero as Cardinals win fifth straight game! Jun 22, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals thrilling comeback win over the Reds from Saturday at Busch Stadium as the Cardinals rallied from nothing in the bottom of the eighth inning to score a couple runs, tacked on an Arenado homer to tie it in the ninth, before seeing Yohel Pozo play the hero in the 11th inning.

We talk Sonny Gray's outing and more that led up to the fateful 11th inning walkoff. Plus, we go down on the farm to trace back to Tink Hence's mastery from Friday in Springfield.

Ep. 805: Does The Rafael Devers Trade Impact The Cardinals? Cards Drop Finale In Milwaukee Jun 16, 2025

Show notes

The Red Sox traded Raffy Devers to the Giants on Sunday. Does this deal have impact on the St. Louis Cardinals? Would Devers have been a fit here? Plus, could Arenado now fit in Boston?

The Cards dropped the final game in Milwaukee despite having every opportunity to win it late. The young guys for the Cardinals are going to have growing pains in key spots and we saw that play out on Sunday.

Michael McGreevy keeps shoving in AAA and he will be a bigger part of the Cardinals plans in the second half of the season. JJ Wetherholt is doing his thing, too.
