Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the St. Louis Cardinals loss to the Miami Marlins and Sandy Alcantara from Wednesday.

Alcantara, the former Cardinal, has a 6.04 ERA in 2025, but when he faces the Cardinals, he truly looks like his former self.

The 2022 Cy Young Award version of Sandy was back at it on Wednesday night in Miami, just another frustrating reality for the 2025 Cardinals season.

Why does this keep happening to the Cardinals? It's one of those things we just can't seem to explain.

The Brendan Donovan situation over the past week--not in a vacuum, but connected to other recent comments from John Mozeliak--is a sign that the Cardinals still aren't operating at max capacity when it comes to their organizational thinking within the front office.

Brenden produces a B-Schaeff Daily episode here to break down the situation after Monday's news that Donovan is hitting the IL.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' loss to the Yankees on Friday night at Busch Stadium, but spends the majority of the podcast today talking about a bizarre tweet by national media host Colin Cowherd about the St. Louis Cardinals fan base.

We discuss why the tweet bothered Brenden and what he decided to do about it.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals loss to the Rockies in a series that a playoff hopeful simply cannot afford to lose.

Plus, John Mozeliak gave a new quote to 101 ESPN on he topic of a possible September call-up for JJ Wetherholt and/or Quinn Mathews.

We discuss the quote and why it's pretty frustrating in terms of the way the Cardinals are managing their roster from a front office perspective.

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the Cardinals win over the Rockies 3-2 from Monday night at Busch Stadium.

Miles Mikolas was tremendous in a bounce-back outing for the Cards, while Kyle Leahy served as a bulk reliever and closing pitcher, essentially, within the same game!

Brendan Donovan's contributions were necessary off the bench as his pinch-double was the only reason they were able to claw back to beat the Rox!

Former St. Louis Cardinals great Yadier Molina will be in uniform and in the Cardinals dugout tonight and Saturday night as the Cards take on the Chicago Cubs at Busch Stadium. How did this come to be and what did Oliver Marmol think of the opportunity--and why it was so important?

And based on his response to a question from Brandon Kiley on 101 ESPN today, clearly Marmol is aware of the memes that will come about as a result of this--but he was clear that having an ego about this is the last thing on his mind when it comes to the reasoning behind why it's so important to have Yadi around this Cardinals team.

Plus, Quinn Mathews was excellent on Thursday night for AAA Memphis. When could we see him in St. Louis? I'll explain why his situation mirrors JJ Wetherholt.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the latest rough outing for Miles Mikolas after Tuesday's 12-6 loss by the Cardinals against the Dodgers.

Is it too late to bother doing anything about Miles Mikolas at this point? Could a journeyman name from Triple-A like Aaron Wilkerson be a reasonable replacement if the Cardinals want to show a modicum of urgency to improve their status?

Ryan Helsley is a Met, apparently Steven Matz is a Red Sox in news that broke just before I wrapped up this episode recording. My head is spinning, but I said words about the Cardinals, so I am posting them hear. Enjoy.
