B-Schaeff Daily Brenden Schaeffer

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals sweep over the Orioles in a YouTube live stream on May 22, 2024. This podcast is the audio from that stream as Brenden dove into listener questions about the current state of the team.

Are the Cardinals back? Although they're still three games below .500, St. Louis has consistently demonstrated a lot of encouraging signs over the past 10 games, during which they've gone 8-2 to climb back into relevance.

Plenty of conversation about Lars Nootbaar's amazing catch, injured and minor-league Cardinals nearing their returns, the state of various hitters in the lineup either trending up or down.

What do the Cardinals do with Liberatore and the fifth rotation spot? Is a trade for a starter in the cards?

All that and more in this episode!

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 6-3 win over the Orioles on Monday, May 20, 2024 at Busch Stadium.

'The Michael Siani Game', as future generations will come to know of it, was a spectacle for the St. Louis outfielder who launched his first ever big-league home run and compiled four RBIs on the night.

Sonny Gray had a no hitter going through five, but ended up asking for Oli Marmol to pull him from the start before completing the top of the sixth. Plenty of context explaining that decision and the other moves made by the Cardinals manager.

If you ask me, Oli had an impeccable night of managing this bullpen and the St. Louis pitching staff.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses comments by Marlins manager Skip Schumaker after Sixto Sanchez had another rough first inning that the Miami club was unable to overcome over the weekend.

A hit batter and wild pitch followed by multiple walks and hits put the Marlins in a bind that they weren't able to overcome against the Mets. Schumaker pulled no punches saying that what the club has been getting from Sanchez has been unacceptable.

Do we like a manager giving blunt criticism of a player on his team when it matches what fans and media can see and acknowledge with their own eyes? Is this similar or different to other instances of managers coming after their own players in recent years across MLB?

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 11-3 loss to the Red Sox from Sunday, May 19, 2024 at Busch Stadium.

In Ep. 568 of B-Schaeff Daily, we dive into the Cardinals' handling of Matthew Liberatore this season as he began the year thriving in a bullpen role but has been tasked with a return to the rotation on the fly.

What does it say about the Cardinals' drafting and development of pitchers if their best option for filling in for the rotation is a player that they had already assigned to a bullpen role? Is Liberatore going to be miscast by the Cardinals as a "failed starter" in the same way that Jordan Hicks was? Because he's looking like a pretty successful starter over with the Giants this year... Simply put, this falls on the Cardinals front office.

We also discuss the frequent off-days for players like Masyn Winn and how (and perhaps why) they have coincided with Sunday games in which the Cardinals have mightily struggled this year.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 7-2 win over the Red Sox on Saturday, May 18, 2024 at Busch Stadium.

The Cardinals have continued to swing the bats well recently, racking up a ton of hits as every player in the lineup came up with at least one base knock on Saturday.

But most importantly, they came through with a clutch late rally in order to seal the deal and set up another sweep chance for Sunday afternoon at Busch.

We talk Liberatore getting set for that contest as well as Miles Mikolas' outing from Saturday. Plus, thoughts on Oli's bullpen management in the win and how important it was that Ryan Helsley was again not needed to win a game.
