Ep. 758: Cardinals Lose On a Lindor Walk-off To Squander Donnie's Heroics Apr 19, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses a painful loss for the St. Louis Cardinals as Francisco Lindor and the Mets walked it off on Friday night at Citi Field.

That's the seventh road loss of the year for the Cards in only eight games, and it was a frustrating one considering they got a few timely hits (including a clutch home run by Brendan Donovan in the top of the ninth) and decent enough starting pitching from Miles Mikolas.

Frankly, it was the bullpen slowly revealing some cracks that ultimately came back to haunt the Redbirds in this one.

Plus, JJ Wetherholt leaves early with an injury in Springfield.

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals loss to the New York Mets from Thursday night as the bats were quiet and one bad inning cost Andre Pallante on the mound.

The Cardinals are now 1-6 on the road this season, which is a stark contrast to their 8-4 record at home. What do we make of this differential and is it something that is a cause for concern for the full season?

-How will the Cardinals align their bullpen for Wednesday behind Steven Matz as the club expands to a six-man rotation on the fly?

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals 7-0 win over the Phillies from Sunday, including the revival of Willson Contreras at the plate as he put together a strong day offensively.

Plus, Contreras had a strong message for Cardinals fans, leaning into the notion that this team plays for the fans -- and is hoping to see them back at Busch soon.

Matthew Liberatore was terrific again for St. Louis on the mound, which allowed us to reset our views of the rotation now that the Cards have gone a full three times through it. Is the rotation in better shape than we thought?

Ep. 749: The Cardinals Just Did Something To Paul Skenes That No Team Had EVER Done Apr 09, 2025

Show notes

We broke down the game, including the performance by Sonny Gray, as well as the makeup of this Cardinal team that lends itself toward needing the exact type of offensive production they are having so far--and they're near a National League record as a result of that production.
