Show notes

Brenden discusses the Cardinals' 8-7 loss to the White Sox from Friday night as the hamstring injury suffered by Jordan Montgomery is a nightmare for the Cardinals in more ways than one.

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the 3-0 win for the Cardinals over the Marlins from Thursday night as Jack Flaherty turned in another gem of an outing. Is his trade value going to peak at the right time for the Redbirds?

Ep. 414: The Cardinals hit rock bottom--and proceeded to pick up a shovel Jul 06, 2023

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses a 10-9 Cardinals' loss as Jordan Hicks quite literally throws the game away down the right field line, wasting what would have otherwise been the most emphatic home run of the season for St. Louis. What happens next? I don't know either, so we just let everyone vent about it with me as the reluctant tour guide.

Ep. 413: What do the Cardinals do with Adam Wainwright? Jun 30, 2023

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 14-0 loss to the Astros from Thursday. The conversation revolves heavily around Adam Wainwright following the latest deflating performance for the St. Louis Cardinals franchise icon.

What should the Cardinals do about Waino's struggles? What do we expect them to do after hearing from the relevant parties following Thursday's game? And perhaps most importantly, how does the sober reality of Wainwright's career winding down in this fashion make you feel as a Cardinals fan? Hop in on the therapy session.

Ep. 412: Gio's no good, very bad, awful rotten day Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses a 10-7 Cardinals' loss as Giovanny Gallegos flat-out didn't have his good stuff on Wednesday night at Busch Stadium. Houston tagged him for five runs as the Astros stole one away from St. Louis.

How much blame falls on Gallegos for the loss? Should Oli Marmol shoulder some responsibility for having him in the game? Brenden breaks it down blow by blow and explains why hindsight clairvoyants were out in full force after this one.

Ep. 411: Retool or rebuild? Do Cardinals need BOLD action at the trade deadline? Jun 28, 2023

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses Tuesday's 4-2 win for the Cardinals over the Astros and dives into a discussion stemming from a recent article by Ken Rosenthal which suggested that St. Louis either needs to commit to going all-in on free agent spending to finance a winner--or tear this roster down to the studs by trading star players over the coming months.

Does Brenden see this situation the same way? How do you, the fan, view it?

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer returns to the podcast to break down the results of the London Series between the Cardinals and the Cubs. Despite earning a split in the short series, do Cardinals fans have more uneasiness about the team than they did before the Redbirds ever took flight to Europe? Or are there signs to be encouraged by after Sunday's come-from-behind effort?

Plus, the vitriol that Adam Wainwright is receiving seems to have reached new heights from Cardinals fans.

Ep. 409: Could Cardinals and Mariners be a perfect match as trade partners ahead of the deadline? Jun 23, 2023

Does the Cardinals' current winning streak rejuvenate your faith in their potential to make a run at this thing in 2023? What do you need to see in the weeks ahead to demonstrate this team should be adding for the stretch run at the trade deadline?

Ep. 407: Gritty bats and Hicks HEAT make a winner of Flaherty and Cardinals amid developing winning streak Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down Monday's 8-6 win for the Cardinals over the Nationals as Jack Flaherty struggled early but stayed in the game long enough to become a winner thanks to the St. Louis lineup grinding out a quality performance in the clutch. And how about Jordan Hicks for the third straight day? En Fuego.

Plenty of conversation on the interesting lineup we saw Monday as well as how the team can and should juggle playing time with certain slumping hitters during this present stretch.
