This St. Louis Cardinals defense is unbelievable!

Jordan Walker came up with the key swing, powering the lone run in the ball game as Miles Mikolas was brilliant yet again. If you don’t realize how good Mikolas has actually been this year, take a listen to some of these stats in this episode!

Ep. 783: St. Louis Cardinals Look Ahead: Tackling The Trade Deadline And Beyond May 16, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer hosted a live episode of B-Schaeff Daily during the St. Louis Cardinals off-night on Thursday and ended up tackling a lot of long-view type of topics in a Q&A with Cards fans.

What will the Cardinals do at the trade deadline if they are winning and contending? What if they aren't? What if they're in the middle? And how much influence would Chaim Bloom have over that deadline, or is it all John Mozeliak?

Would Nolan Arenado still want out at the deadline?

The Cardinals wouldn't trade guys like Brendan Donovan and Lars Nootbaar, right? What about Walker and Gorman?

Will Oli Marmol be the manager next year?

So many topics handled in this hour-long podcast.

Ep. 782: Cardinals Win Streak Ends, But Momentum Remains After 14-Run Eruption To Win Philly Series! May 15, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals splitting the doubleheader against the Phillies in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Game 1 was a tightly played contest that had a playoff atmosphere to it, and the Cardinals simply came a play or two short from finding a way to come out on top. So, the winning streak ended.

But in Game 2, the Cardinals were resilient, overcoming an early 5-1 deficit with Sonny Gray not having very good stuff, and finding a way to score a bunch of runs off Aaron Nola and the Philly bullpen in a 14-7 onslaught victory.

Masyn Winn and Alec Burleson starred in the nightcap as the Cardinals kept the good vibes rolling into Kansas City.

Ep. 781: What To Do With Gorman, Walker? + Trade Deadline Dreaming & More! May 14, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals on the Tuesday off day after the rains poured down in Philly to set up a DH on Wednesday.

Cards fans jumped into the live comments on the stream that originally aired on YouTube, asking about the plan for Gorman and Walker, Herrera's future position, my predicted win total for the Cardinals this season, my 2026 rotation projection and so very much more.

It was a very fun conversation with the Cardinals fans who joined us!

Ep. 780: It's NINE Wins In A Row After Dramatic Cardinals W In Philly On Monday! May 13, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals pulling off a thrilling win in Philadelphia Monday night, 3-2 over the Phillies to extend their winning streak to nine games!

The hottest team in baseball just did it in dramatic fashion, on the road, and this time it came against a legitimate contending opponent.

We dive into all the moments that mattered from this game, including key swings from Ivan Herrera and Masyn Winn, as well as some important defensive plays that didn't necessarily go the Cardinals' way.

We recap Matthew Liberatore's outing and make a (bold?) proclamation regarding his standing in the St. Louis Cardinals organization.

Plus, a bullpen that has been absolutely nails during this streak was at its best Monday, with Kyle Leahy and JoJo Romero setting the table for a vintage version of Ryan Helsley in the ninth (with a little help from Jordan Walker defensively).

Some of the stats surrounding this St. Louis Cardinals eight-game winning streak are absolutely incredible, especially when considering the numbers for the starting rotation and a bullpen that hasn't given up a run in a week!

Ep. 779: Cardinals SWEEP the Nationals! That's E-I-G-H-T (8) Wins In a Row! May 11, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 win over the Nationals on Sunday, Mother's Day, as the Redbirds keep things rolling by sweeping the Nats and winning their eighth straight game!

Miles Mikolas once again did all you could ask for, even if he felt like he could see his game extended beyond the 69 pitches that he threw, we explain why it was certainly the right choice by Oliver Marmol to turn to Steven Matz for what ended up being the biggest leverage spot in the game.

The Cardinals offense got some early power swings off against MacKenzie Gore with Nootbaar and Contreras both launching their sixth home runs of the season. It was even more impressive, though, the way the Cards kept at it against Gore and chased him from the game with a key insurance rally in the seventh inning.

Nolan Arenado tacked on a two-run homer of his own in the eighth to allow the Cards to comfortably complete the sweep!

Now, a big series in Philadelphia looms as the Cardinals send their top arms to the mound against the Phillies. Would a series win get the fans to totally buy back into what we're seeing? Sound off in the comments!

Ep. 778: Cardinals SURVIVE Anxious 9th For Helsley To Win SEVENTH Straight Game! May 11, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 win over the Nationals on Saturday as Andre Pallante became the latest Cardinals starter to pitch an absolute gem.

Were we surprised to see him stay in the game for the eighth inning considering the rested nature of the bullpen? Perhaps, but it's also fair to say there weren't really any obvious signs of him slowing down prior to the Dylan Crews homer.

At that point, it was up to JoJo Romero and Ryan Helsley, the latter of whom had an adventurous ninth inning after some questionable pitch sequencing seemed to throw him off his game in the Josh Bell at-bat.

All's well that ends well for the Cards as they've now won 7 in a row. Can Miles Mikolas keep it going against a big-time strikeout pitcher on the other side Sunday?

Ep. 777: Erick Fedde Complete Game Shutty! Cardinals Win Their SIXTH Straight To Get Above .500! May 10, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals 10-0 win over the Nationals on Friday night as Erick Fedde was masterful in a complete game shutout, the first of his MLB career! And it happened in the place that he was drafted all those years ago.

More on Fedde's outing and his outlook, as well as the Cardinals lineup falling into form. Ivan Herrera is back and he contributed to a big game offensively for the Redbirds, who took their walks and hit their way in timely fashion to a 10-run output without the benefit of a single home run.

How are we viewing this Cardinals club as they creep up on the Cubbies? Sound off in the comments!

Ep. 776: Cardinals Option Luken Baker — And On Their Day Off, Elect A New Pope?! Plus, The Final Answer On Whether He Is A Cubs Fan May 09, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals optioning Luken Baker to Triple-A Memphis ahead of the weekend series in Washington D.C. Does this mean van Herrera is returning? And is it a bad thing that the Cardinals now have so many catchers on the active roster?

Plus, on their day off, the Cardinals elected a new pope, who, despite erroneous reporting earlier in the day Thursday, is NOT a Cubs fan--and we can prove it!
