B-Schaeff Daily Brenden Schaeffer

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 4-2 win over the Mets on Friday night at Citi Field.

Ryan Helsley and the rest of the bullpen was nails again -- and the Cardinals have still needed Hels for each and every one of their wins on the season.

Miles Mikolas gave the Cardinals a bit more than he had been providing while the offense got its start early thanks to homers by Burleson and Contreras.

Why does it feel like the Cardinals are just hanging on for dear life in so many of their wins? Hey, at least it's working as often as it is.

We explain the deal with Brandon Crawford's playing time and talk about one Cardinal pitching prospect who is absolutely lighting it up at one of the lower levels of the org.

Brenden Schaeffer and Josh Jacobs (Dealin' The Cards podcast) sit down to discuss a really interesting hypothetical.

Could the Cardinals institute a mini-rebuild—perhaps more accurately, a retool—of not only the MLB roster but possibly the entire structure of the organization if 2024 doesn't live up to the hopes of ultimately fielding a contender in St. Louis? And if so, what exactly might that process look like?

The boys were surprised to see how much fun the hypothetical pared-down version of the 2025 St. Louis Cardinals could actually be on paper, even after factoring in significant departures from the current team. With a reduced payroll, could a small step back be exactly the step forward the Cardinals need in the long run if they aren't able to right the ship this season?

We discuss just about every relevant name searching for guys who could make sense for a thought experiment in which John Mozeliak steps out of the limelight. Could Chaim Bloom be prominently featured? The boys discuss various reasons why that could conceivably be the case.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, April 24, 2024 at Busch Stadium.

Willson Contreras beat his former (occasional) batterymate Jordan Montgomery for a double in the sixth to help spark the Cardinals' scoring against Arizona. That's a moment that the Cardinal catcher probably enjoyed quiiiite a bit.

Kyle Gibson was sturdy as nails for the Redbirds in six strong innings after he navigated a scary start to the day in the first.

And what was the deal with Marmol taking Herrera out for defense late in the game? We dive into that decision and plenty else in Ep. 546 of B-Schaeff Daily!

Brenden Schaeffer hops on to discuss breaking news as the Cardinals have demoted Jordan Walker and Zack Thompson to Memphis in a roster shakeup Wednesday.

Is this a necessary move in order to get the most out of Walker in the long run?

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 14-1 loss to the D-backs on Tuesday, April 24, 2024 at Busch Stadium.

Oli Marmol shared his belief that Steven Matz actually had one of his better outings on Tuesday, which just isn't something that makes sense to say for the manager in that postgame even if he believed it.

Zack Thompson got shelled in relief and the offense went dormant again against a pitcher that they ought to have dominated. It's bad, all around.

Do the Cardinals have the urgency to turn this around or are we looking at a 2023 redux? Because the momentum from Monday's walk-off is officially squandered after the nightmare of Tuesday's game.
