Are The Cardinals Going To Squander This Extremely Soft Upcoming Schedule? Jun 10, 2024

Show notes

Andy and Brenden of the KTGR Big Show discuss the disappointing series split that the Cardinals had against the Rockies over the weekend at Busch Stadium.

Are the Cardinals going to squander the soft upcoming schedule over the next month?

Ep. 586: The Cardinals Finally Handled The Rockies! ...And All It Got Them Was This Lousy Series Split. Jun 10, 2024

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 5-1 win over the Rockies on Sunday, June 9, 2024.

The Cardinals finally had an easy peasy win over the Rockies in this series, but all it got them was a series split. That's not what was needed when the series began, but by Sunday, of course, it was the most they were eligible to do.

How do you feel about the split and the state of the team as they continue to tread water in the standings during a portion of the schedule that should have been a building block toward contender status?

Ep. 585: Point blank, Saturday was a bad look for Oli Marmol and the Cardinals Jun 09, 2024

Show notes

In Ep. 585 of B-Schaeff Daily, Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 6-5 loss to the Rockies on Saturday, June 8, 2024.

The Rockies did everything in their power to hand the game to the Cardinals on a platter and the Cardinals politely declined to win it.

A three-run throwing error helped give STL the lead, but the Cardinals had a rare mishap by Andrew Kittredge that contributed to the loss. But it would not be fair to blame it solely on the usually steady reliever.

The Cardinals let an opposing starting pitcher dominate them who had no business doing it. The offense was anemic. And the fundamentals in several areas of the game, particularly on defense, have evaporated.

All of it led to a very testy postgame presser with Oli Marmol, which we will discuss here in this episode. Strap in, it's a long one.

But the takeaway: This day was a bad, bad look for the Cardinals.

Low Hanging Fruit, Ep. 18: Brenden and Charlie return! Charlie thinks the Cardinals are boring... Are they? Jun 08, 2024

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer and Charlie Marlow return for the latest episode of the award-winning podcast (in our own minds) Low Hanging Fruit.

Charlie says the Cardinals are boring this year. We discuss that contention and numerous other topics pertaining to the team.

I actually had fun recording this one with Charlie, and he's a bit of an obnoxious guy usually so that really tells you this one is worth the listen!

Ep. 584: Wait... Is #EveryDayDylan BACK?!?! DC3 Lifts Cardinals Over Rockies! Jun 08, 2024

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 8-5 win over the Rockies from Friday, June 7, 2024 as Dylan Carlson emerges as a hero of the game, producing his first three RBIs of the season.

DC3 provided the game-tying swing in the sixth after Lance Lynn had coughed up an early 4-0 Cardinals lead on a little league grand slam... Whoops.

But the Cardinals kept battling and had a key eighth inning that saw Oli Marmol make a gutsy decision to pull Nolan Gorman for a pinch runner... And it paid off in a major way.

With Carlson chipping in a 2-RBI double at that point to solidify the game for Ryan Helsley in the ninth, is the monkey off DC's back? Can he become a more prominent contributor for the Cardinals moving forward?

All that and more on Ep. 584 of B-Schaeff Daily!

Ep. 583: "I pitched like s---." Sonny Gray at a loss to describe his fifth-inning collapse as Cardinals drop the opener to Rockies Jun 07, 2024

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 3-2 loss to the Rockies from Thursday, June 6, 2024 at Busch Stadium.

Sonny Gray came apart at the seams in the fifth inning as he walked three batters with two wild pitches and a pair of stolen bases allowed. He was candid with his frustration after the game, but didn't offer a ton in the way of an explanation for why things went so wrong.

You'll hear from the Cards starter in this episode, and we'll talk through his outing as well as the struggles for his catcher Ivan Herrera in helping to limit the damage in that frustrating fifth inning. Herrera's management of the running game is becoming a glaring issue for St. Louis.

And of course, so is their un-timely offense as Thursday was another night where RISP was a real issue.

After 4-5 Road Trip, Cardinals MUST Dominate Easier Upcoming Schedule Jun 06, 2024

Show notes

Andy and Brenden of the KTGR Big Show discuss the Cardinals' win over the Astros from Wednesday and take stock of the road trip at large as the Redbirds finished up with a 4-5 record in their trip to Cincy, Philly and Houston.

Are you satisfied by the result of the road trip? Or is it a merely "tolerable" result for the Cardinals as they seem to have weathered the storm of a difficult portion of the schedule.

Now, things are about to lighten up with some lesser teams on the docket in the days ahead. Can the Cardinals take advantage and make their move in June?

Plus, the White Sox have some interesting names potentially on the trade block. Would the Cardinals trade marquee prospects like Tink Hence or even Jordan Walker to swing a blockbuster with Chicago? SHOULD they even be willing to consider such a thing or is it a matter of blasphemy?

Ep. 582: Mikolas Exits After 62 Pitches -- And It Seemed To Be The Right, Aggressive Call In A Cardinals Win Jun 06, 2024

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses Wednesday's 4-2 win for the Cardinals over the Astros as Miles Mikolas earned the W for his six strong innings of two-run baseball.

It was a bit of a quirk to see Mikolas pulled from the game after only 62 pitches, but Oli Marmol explained why it was about factors other than pitch count that led to him determining that it was the right time to turn to his bullpen at that point.

And, of course, the Triumvirate came through with JoJo, Kit and Hels Bells finishing the job. And newsflash, Helsley looked back-back when it comes to that fastball velo and location. He seemed to trust the command of the pitch again which is bad news for NL hitters.

Plus, some good fundies and small ball by the Cardinals helped to establish a lead in this one. And Nolan Arenado found the Crawford boxes before he left H-Town.
