B-Schaeff Daily Brenden Schaeffer

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.

In Ep. 566 of B-Schaeff Daily, Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 10-6 win over the Boston Red Sox from Friday, May 17, 2024 at Busch Stadium.

The offense was the star of the show Friday as the Cardinals mashed four home runs in the win, including Masyn Winn's first of the year and a key blast by a slumping Nolan Gorman to perhaps help him toward a turnaround.

The Cardinals scored in seven out of their eight innings offensively and banished the RISP monkey from their backs for a night.

Kyle Gibson pitched well enough and deep enough into the game to secure the win for St. Louis, but we'll get into the sustainability of a rotation that is teetering toward the bottom five of MLB in ERA.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the recent comments made by Cardinals team president Bill DeWitt III on 'The Kilcoyne Conversation' podcast with Martin Kilcoyne (hosted by the Scoops Sports Network).

DeWitt referred to the notion of Cardinals fans deciding not to show up to games anymore in order to send a message to ownership regarding the fans' displeasure with the state of the club as an "illogical" line of thought.

In doing so, DeWitt demonstrated a fundamental misunderstanding of what a team's relationship to its fans should be.

Brenden dives into full depth on the comments and many elements surrounding them in this hour-long episode.
