Brenden Schaeffer discusses Thursday's 11-6 loss for the Cardinals to Washington as Yadi goes deep twice in a record-tying day for he and his batterymate. The pitching wasn't bueno Thursday but the Redbirds' standing in the division still is. Plenty to discuss from a busy day for the 'birds!
Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the latest example of Devil Magic in our midst as the Cards scored five in the ninth to comeback and stun the Nats. {raise for Montgomery, Edman and others inbound.
Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the Cardinals' win over the Nats from Tuesday as Quintana returned to his roots as a quality game-manager. Nolan Gorman burst out offensively after a recent lull in production. And Ryan Helsley has the coolest entrance in MLB.
Brenden Schaeffer hops back behind the microphone for the first time as a FATHER (wow) to discuss the birth of his beautiful baby boy and chat a little Cardinals baseball before going to find approximately 31 minutes of precious sleep.
Brenden Schaeffer breaks down another troubling outing for Dakota Hudson and explains why Oli Marmol's reaction to it could be telling in terms of where the team may look to go from here. Jake Woodford gets praised and we talk about his possible role moving forward. It's not a simple as a 1-for-1 swap, though, with Jack Flaherty's return to the rotation looming--and potentially soon.
Brenden Schaeffer discusses Albert Pujols passing Barry Bonds by homering off the 450th different pitcher of his MLB career; and wouldn't you know it, it's a local product who attended Brenden's same high school who gave up the blast. Small world. More discussion of the homer, the chase for 700 as well as the impact of Tyler O'Neill's resurgence for the Cardinals lineup. We also dig into the weeds on the playoff picture and how the starting pitching could line up very favorable in October despite some recent stumbles for the group.
Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the Cardinals weekend at Busch as the Redbirds came back twice in the series to win games and take two of three from the defending World Champs. What kind of omen is that for October? And which members of the lineup are giving the most confidence that the Cardinals could be on a special trajectory?
Brenden Schaeffer breaks down Thursday's 8-3 win for the Cardinals over the Cubs in Chicago, including a discussion on Goldschmidt's triple crown chances and more of an amazing turnaround by Corey Dickerson at the plate. He just keeps doing it, en route to a franchise record in Thursday's win.
Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals Wednesday night loss to the Cubs at Wrigley as Nolan Arenado was ejected in the third inning by John Libka after a questionable check swing call. I give my thoughts on that play and we hear from Oli Marmol on his. Plus more talk about Noot, platoon splits and how the best Cardinals' linuep against RHP might feature Corey Dickerson at this point...
Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals doubleheader split against the Cubs on Tuesday at Wrigley, looking into the offensive troubles from game one and the triumphs from game two. We also discuss more deeply the resurgence of Corey Dickerson and ponder whether Tuesday's outing gets Jake Woodford out of purgatory in the Cardinals pitching pecking order.
