Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer and Charlie Marlow discuss how concerning the slow start is for Paul Goldschmidt, with boys guys giving their expectations for where the struggling slugger's OPS will finish at the end of the season.

Plus, we get into other Cardinals topics including what lineup changes we might consider as a result of the current issues with the offense, what a 2025 1B tandem could look like if Goldy walks, and whether the Cardinals have learned from past examples of offering unnecessary contract extensions too early.

Some Chaim Bloom talk and talk of the future of the organization, too. Plenty of goodies for Cards fans in this episode.

Ep. 539: Cardinals Can't Sweeps Oakland — St. Louis Offense Quiet Yet Again In Series Finale Apr 18, 2024

Show notes

In Ep. 539 of the St. Louis Cardinals podcast 'B-Schaeff Daily,' Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 6-3 loss to the Athletics from Wednesday as the offense failed to take full advantage of the six hits and five walks allowed by Paul Blackburn.

Steven Matz was doing decently -- until he hit the dreaded fifth inning that seems to so often plague him.

More discouraging signs from guys like Paul Goldschmidt make you wonder how long we can keep saying that it's still early for this offense.

Ep. 538: Lance Lynn Does It Again! Cardinal Bats Are Still Sleepy, But Pitching + Defense Beats A's Again Apr 17, 2024

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 3-2 win over the Athletics on Tuesday night, April 16, 2024.

Following up Sonny Gray's electric outing from Monday, Lance Lynn guided the Cardinals through seven strong innings before the bullpen slammed the door.

Ryan Helsley has pitched in every win so far this year for STL! It's a good thing, too, that St. Louis got the effort that it did from its pitchers -- because, yeah, the offense is still looking a little sluggish. How worrying is Paul Goldschmidt's slow start? The Cardinals did seem to pay homage to Whitey Herzog by manufacturing a few runs with small ball. Share your memories of the White Rat as baseball fans everywhere mourn the passing of one of the true great figures of the game's history. SUBSCRIBE to this channel for Cardinals content all season!

Ep. 537: Sonny Gray Deals Again, Oli Marmol Nearly Drops The Gloves With A Security Guard Apr 16, 2024

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 3-1 win over the Athletics on Monday, April 15, 2024. This audio comes from a YouTube Live stream that took place postgame Monday night. On another pitch limit, Sonny Gray worked with what he had to twirl six more scoreless innings, bringing his total for the season to 11.0 shutout frames. Offensively, the Cardinals didn't get much -- but they got enough to win the opening in Oakland. Oh, and Oli Marmol almost fought a security guard for some reason, so we will discuss that, too.

Ep. 536: Ol' friend Zac Gallen blanks the Cardinals, 5-0 -- Why does Masyn Winn keep riding the bench so often? Apr 15, 2024

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 5-0 loss to the D-backs from Sunday, April 14, 2024.

Masyn Winn was out of the lineup for the fourth time in 16 games with Brandon Crawford playing shortstop instead as Oli Marmol and the Cardinals continue to manage Winn's workload in the early going.

But fans are wondering why a 22-year-old shortstop necessarily needs so much careful management of his workload. Brenden attempts to present some possible reasons for that in an episode that extends for nearly an hour so as to responsibly cover all the angles.

We also discuss the day for Mikolas and the relievers as well as the general malaise for this offense -- the simply Cardinals won't thrive without waaay more production from the lineup.

Ep. 535: Kyle Gibson was stunned that Lourdes Gurriel Jr. launched a well-located sinker for a game-altering swing Apr 14, 2024

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday night, April 13, 2024.

Kyle Gibson gave up a costly three-run home run to Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and after the game he conceded that he should have let Willson Contreras call the slider that he was angling for before PitchCom issues caused some problems for the St. Louis battery ahead of the fateful pitch to Gurriel.

Even in giving credit to his catcher for a well-called game, though, Gibson said you'd have to ask Gurriel what he was looking for to be able to turn on the sinker in off the plate and change the game with one swing. Was Gurriel simply lasered in on the pitch for whatever reason?

Regardless, we also dive into some base running issues and the continued hot and cold nature of clutch hitting for the Cardinals in the early portion of the year.

Ep. 534: The kids are all right -- and Arenado, too! Cardinals handle D-backs in game one Apr 13, 2024

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 9-6 win over the D-backs on Friday, April 12, 2024 out in Arizona. This podcast is the audio from a live stream that took place on YouTube Live. (channel: youtube.com/@bschaeffer12) St. Louis erupted for six runs thanks to home runs from Nolan Arenado (finally!) and Lars Nootbaar (sheesh, took him long enough) to race out to a big lead. But Matz and Gallegos struggled in the fifth inning to allow for the game to begin anew. But how about the lineup battling back with Donovan and Goldschmidt before the youngsters brought it home with an impressive insurance-filled rally. And WOW the back end of that bullpen is cooking with gas. Please SUBSCRIBE to this channel if you enjoy Cardinals content all season!

Ep. 533: Jordan Montgomery Fires Scott Boras, Ohtani's Former Interpreter Is Formally Charged With Bank Fraud Apr 12, 2024

Show notes

On the Cardinals off-day, Brenden Schaeffer discusses Jordan Montgomery firing Scott Boras as his agent, moving forward with Wasserman Group instead after Boras bungled the free agency of Montgomery and his other clients this winter. Plus, formal charges have been filed against Ippei Mizuhara, the disgraced former interpreter of Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani. We get into the weeds on the criminal complaint, which is 37 pages long containing numerous explosive text messages between Mizuhara and an illegal bookie.

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer and Charlie Marlow discuss the situation surrounding Victor Scott, Lars Nootbaar the Cardinals outfield in general, concern level on Goldy, Arenado and Jordan Walker, the current status of the starting rotation and bullpen, and more.

The guys also take a look at why the Cardinals seem to send players like Jordan Hicks and Tyler O'Neill to other teams that ultimately get the most out of them.
