Show notes

How did this happen and do you find the offense or the bullpen more responsible for the L?

We also get into some old Mike Mayers stories, some discussion on how tired the Cardinals really are right now, a hilarious insult of Brenden on Twitter, plus is this new Jordan Walker audio a bombshell or is it no big deal? The Cardinals top prospect is now ignoring the Cardinals' instruction on how to adjust his swing as he returns to the basics of being himself at the plate--and finding success doing it.

Ep. 391: Evaluating Liberatore's start -- Did he do enough to keep his spot despite troublesome fifth inning? May 27, 2023

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 4-3 loss to the Guardians from Friday night and ponders whether Matthew Liberatore did enough in his five innings of work to earn a continued opportunity in the starting rotation.

How long will STL allow that to continue with him in the rotation? What's the fallout of the Matthew Liberatore situation and the latest news on the everchanging plan for him? Plenty to dive into in an angsty episode of the show.

Ep. 388: Cardinals blast Cincy pitching, but is it fair to say they STILL need more from their starting pitchers?! May 24, 2023

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer goes live on YouTube to discuss Tuesday night's Cardinals win over the Reds, 8-5, as we get into topics including how the team honestly needed more from Waino than it got on Tuesday. Plus, Arenado was ejected -- who is to blame there? Big games for Goldy and Edman, Helsley and Gio on back-to-back days... Tons of conversation in a jam-packed episode.

Ep. 387: Cardinals drop the opener in Cincy; were poor ABs from the top of the lineup or Marmol's bullpen management to blame? May 23, 2023

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down Monday's Cardinals loss in Cincinnati as STL fell to the Reds 6-5 in extra innings. We dive into what the cause of the loss was, as Twitter wanted to blame Oli Marmol's bullpen management for sticking with Ryan Helsley for a second inning of work. Poor at-bats from the top of the order to go along with an inneficient night from Jordan Montgomery merit further explanation, though. We also give our tribute to the life and career "The Commish" Rick Hummel after his untimely passing over the weekend.
