Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals' decision to delay their standard end-of-season press conference until later in the month or perhaps even after the World Series. Is there a good reason for this move or is this just the Cardinals, Bill DeWitt and John Mozeliak looking to duck the criticism and tough questions that may come their way during such an availability?

Brenden Schaeffer discusses John Mozeliak's comments on Sunday's pregame show -- Did he already walk back his comments about the St. Louis Cardinals needing three starting pitchers this offseason? It sounded like he did, to an extent. But Cards manager Oli Marmol is clear: Three starters are what is needed. We also get into the mock trade proposal for Logan Gilbert floating around Twitter. This one is a deal that I just don't think can get done. More color on the situation surrounding Marmol's comments about weeding out the guys who are not in it for the right reasons. Plenty of interesting discussion to get to, make sure to drop your thoughts in the comments below.
Brenden Schaeffer discusses the final weekend of the 2023 St. Louis Cardinals season as the festivities at Busch Stadium fully revolved around Adam Wainwright.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses whether the St. Louis Cardinals won the Jack Flaherty trade following Tuesday's news that the Orioles had demoted Flaherty to the bullpen, at least for the time being.
Although the Cardinals have not yet gotten any major contributions from the players they received in the deal, was it definitively a worthy gambit by John Mozeliak now that we know the Cards didn't have much use for Flaherty down the stretch as a non-contender? And that Flaherty hasn't exactly looked like a candidate for a long-term extension with his recent performances?
Plus, we discuss the notion of whether Adam Wainwright will pitch again for the Cardinals after achieving his 200th win on Monday.
Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals' 1-0 win from Monday, September 18, 2023 as Adam Wainwright turned back the clock to toss seven scoreless innings and finally earn his 200th career MLB win.
Brenden Schaeffer discusses Adam Wainwright FINALLY getting to win no. 199 as the Cardinals beat the Orioles on Tuesday night, 9/12/23.
Brenden Schaeffer discusses the unlikely nature of the St. Louis Cardinals blitzing Spencer Strider Wednesday, beating the Braves 11-6 behind four home runs. Masyn Winn got one of them to get the monkey off his back as the young shortstop continues to come into his own at the highest level of the sport.
Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 10-6 win over the Braves from Tuesday, September 5, 2023 in Atlanta, focusing on the incredible play we've seen from Cardinal rookie Jordan Walker of late.
Walker has ascended offensively, taking a solid rookie campaign and turning it on its head in such a short span of time to vault his season-long numbers to new heights. And he's doing it all at just 21 years old. What could this surge mean for Walker and the Cardinals as the focus for the team shifts to moving into the future?

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 4-2 loss to the Pirates in 10 innings from Friday, September 1, 2023.
Dakota Hudson did what he does -- got a lot of ground ball outs and didn't strike out a living soul in seven innings. The bats went back into hiding aside from a mammoth shot to center field by Willson Contreras (hello, Freese's Lawn). The defense also cost the Cardinals in a truly bizarre top of the 10th inning.
Can the Cardinals continue to live and die by the number of pitch-to-contact guys in the pitching staff -- even when they're doing well, it seems like a tricky way to live.
Plus, Adam Wainwright's next start is being pushed back to set up a scenario that honestly feels a little nightmarish on paper, but we can explain to the best of our understanding exactly why it is happening.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses a 6-5 walk-off win in extras for the St. Louis Cardinals over the San Diego Padres on August 29, 2023. Willson Contreras was a star of the show offensively with two home runs, while Richie Palacios and Tommy Edman combined to make the magic happen in the 10th inning.
Couldn't have happened without the contributions of JoJo Romero, though, as the lefty is settling in NICELY to his backend relief role for St. Louis.
