Five Straight Cardinals Wins AND Back To .500! Are They Raising Your Expectations, Yet? May 08, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer and Grant Salsman discuss the previous 24 hours for the Cardinals as Sonny Gray followed up Matthew Liberatore's brilliance with some of his own on Wednesday.

The Cardinals have won five straight games. Are they changing the opinions yet of what you had thought about them coming into the season? Or do we still need to see more to adjust our expectations?

Ep. 775: Libby is THAT DUDE! Cardinals Beat Paul Skenes AGAIN! May 07, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 win over the Pirates on Tuesday at Busch Stadium as Matthew Liberatore outdueled Paul Skenes, who has to be about plumb tired of facing the Cardinals at this point.

He still hasn't beaten this St. Louis team and it was Liberatore's brilliance combined with Alec Burleson's timely hitting against Skenes that made the difference on Tuesday.

Plus, did Gordon Graceffo just show us that he's a closer in the making at the MLB level?

Ep. 774: Cardinals beat Pirates despite the worst replay review in MLB history! May 06, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals 6-3 win over the Pirates on Monday at Busch Stadium as Miles Mikolas got the team through five innings and the power supply came from Alec Burleson, Willson Contreras and Jose Barrero!

Plus, the Cards should have had more insurance but the umpires absolutely missed a call at home plate that somehow was not overturned on replay, either.

Ep. 773: Cardinals Conquer The Mets! It's a Doubleheader SWEEP As McGreevy, VS2 & Others SHINE! May 05, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the unbelievable St. Louis Cardinals doubleheader sweep of the Mets on Sunday at Busch Stadium as Michael McGreevy put the team on his back in Game 2.

Victor Scott II made one of the best catches you'll ever see to rob a home run from Juan Soto.

Erick Fedde and Andre Pallante walked way too many guys. Will the Cardinals look more closely at their rotation spots with clear candidates for promotions into the starting five, or will it be business as usual?

It was a potentially season-shifting day at Busch, so we'll talk about the implications as the Cards pull to within three games of .500 out of nowhere.

Ep. 772: Cardinals Just Called Up Michael McGreevy—Is this a short-term move or is he here to stay? May 03, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals calling up Michael McGreevy to the big-league roster on Saturday, optioning Roddery Munoz to Memphis.

Is McGreevy joining the Cardinals rotation or is he simply here to provide some protection for the weekend? What do we see as his long-term path in 2025 and how will the Cardinals handle their expiring contracts if they can't climb back into competitiveness as the year unfolds?

Ep. 771: The Cardinals Cannot Seem To Beat The Dang Mets! Blues Thump Jets To Force Game 7 May 03, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the mounting St. Louis Cardinals losing streak in games against the New York Mets, dating back to last season as Sonny Gray got hit around by a Mets lineup that piled up 17 hits in a 9-3 beatdown on the Cards on Friday at Busch.

Willson Contreras has largely been very steady at 1B defensively during this transition, but his biggest blunder came in a key spot on Friday night.

Plus, the Blues beat the Jets at Enterprise Center to force a Game 7 on Sunday night in Winnipeg!

Ep. 770: The Rains Came And Washed Away The Cardinals Chances In Cincy May 02, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses a rain-soaked loss for the St. Louis Cardinals in Cincinnati on Thursday as the rain delay knocked Matthew Liberatore from his start prematurely and apparently took any chances the Cardinals had in the game with him.

Are we concerned about the offense after being completely stymied by the Reds bullpen again? Or is this one to plain wash away and forget it ever happened?

Plus, we preview the weekend ahead as the Cards will do battle with the Mets at Busch Stadium.

Ep. 769: Cardinals SWEEP The Doubleheader In Cincy! Mikolas, Matz, Graceffo, Winn + More SHINE! May 01, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer provides the comprehensive breakdown of the St. Louis Cardinals thrilling doubleheader sweep of the Reds on Wednesday in Cincy as Miles Mikolas got his first win of the season with the Cards bats finally waking up.

Masyn Winn has a two-homer game and caps a back-to-back-to-back sequence in the ninth inning of Game 1.

Victor Scott and Lars Nootbaar bring their lumber, too.

Oliver Marmol got ejected in a stylish way!

Gordon Graceffo was pumping 99-mph heat and covering five innings behind Steven Matz in the nightcap, allowing the Cardinals bullpen (which has suddenly been really good lately) to save bullets for the rest of the week.

Willson Contreras and Jordan Walker helped build up a nine-run cushion in that second game.

Great stuff all around by the Cardinals on Wednesday.

Oli Marmol told KMOX there's "Nothing to point at" to explain reason for Cardinals road woes... Will this trend level out soon? Apr 30, 2025

Show notes

Andy Humphrey and Brenden Schaeffer discuss Oli Marmol telling the Gashouse Gang show on KMOX Tuesday that "there's nothing to point at from a preparation standpoint or a from a player standpoint where there's something indicating why we should not have success on the road."

Marmol sees the Cards' 2-12 road record as a blip on the radar that doesn't have a concrete answer and he expects it will be something that levels out over the course of the season.

With the rainout Tuesday, the guys discuss Cardinals topics looking into the rest of the Cincy series (understanding that we later learned of Tuesday's postponement after recording).

Ep. 768: Cardinals Offense Sleepwalks Through Game 1 In Cincy -- Why Are They So Bad On The Road? Apr 29, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals dropping the series opener in Cincinnati against the Reds at Great American Ballpark, 3-1 as Nick Martinez out-dueled Andre Pallante.

Pallante gave the Cardinals a quality start and saw the bullpen do a solid job behind him, but he did not get the run support he needed to win this game.

Why have the Cards struggled so much on the road compared to their output at home this season? The road record is down to 2-12 while the club is 10-5 in games at Busch Stadium.

It's confusing, but it's the trend at this point--we talk about what Oli Marmol had to say about it postgame and whether it's impacting the team at this point in the year.

Hey, at least Jordan Walker made a stellar play in RF!
