B-Schaeff Daily Brenden Schaeffer

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the Cardinals 3-0 win over the Cubs at Wrigley on Friday, June 14, 2024.

Kyle Gibson was masterful. Kyle Hendricks was annoying. Pedro Pagés launched one into the wind and somehow found the basket for his first big-league homer, with his family in attendance.

Pedro also called a heckuva game and guided the Cardinals staff to the W.

JoJo gave up a bomb that Brendan Donovan caught in left field to end an inning. Helsley still can't find his fastball but it didn't matter. I could go on. I did go on, breaking down all of that as well as the Cardinals playoff prospects after climbing back to .500 once again.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 4-3 win over the Pirates from Thursday, June 13, 2024.

Lance Lynn failed to get through five innings for the third straight time, and for the third straight time, his teammates bailed him out.

Goldy and BFD homered to pace the offense.

The bullpen was sensational, tossing 4.2 scoreless innings after John King got the Cardinals out of the fifth. He allowed a couple of inherited runners to score, but nothing was charged to the STL pen all day.

How do we feel about the bullpen now, and what could happen to it when Giovanny Gallegos returns very soon?

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the Cardinals 4-2 win over the Pirates on Wednesday, June 12. 2024 at Busch Stadium.

Sonny Gray was looking to rebound from a rough outing last Thursday in which walks came back to haunt him. That meant a gameplan Wednesday of attacking hitters in the middle of the strike zone and trusting his stuff to do the rest.

Well, after Gray had allowed a walk and a double to begin the game, he had to mentally lock back in and tell himself to put up or shut up. He wasn't adhering to the plan he had discussed with his catcher and coaches leading into the game, and didn't want to be the type to talk about something without doing it.

Needless to say, Gray did it the rest of the way, striking out the side in the first on his next 10 pitches to escape the jam and set the tone for his night.

Although the final RISP numbers for the Cardinals look more favorable than it was (we'll explain), the offense did enough to back Gray in his eighth win of the year.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 2-1 loss to the Pirates from Tuesday, June 11, 2024.

In Ep. 588 of B-Schaeff Daily we discuss the duel between Miles Mikolas and Paul Skenes as the rookie phenom lived up to the billing for the Pirates--but Mikolas matched him stride for stride.

It was the Cardinals offense that disappointed in this one, unable to get to Skenes or the Pittsburgh bullpen in a meaningful way.

Ryan Helsley had a hiccup, but the loss really shined a light on the bench that John Mozeliak has built here in 2024. It left Oli Marmol with precious few real options to deploy resources effectively late in the game.

Oh, and Brenden got shot by an airsoft gun downtown while walking back to his car late at night. True story.
