B-Schaeff Daily: St. Louis Cardinals Talk, Every Day

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 3-2 win over the Padres, with interludes to break down some Lars Nootbaar anecdotes, the Joshua Baez mega-day in Memphis, and whatever else comes to mind during the latter half of my drive home from Busch Stadium!

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the Dustin May shutout as his one-hitter on Monday propelled the Cardinals to a 3-0 win over the Padres at Busch Stadium.

The million dollar question after May's standout effort -- should the Cardinals extend him? Brenden has another idea, and I'm not sure whether people are going to like it or not...

We missed a podcast after Saturday's win, and I needed to record some vertical videos Sunday morning for other reasons, so I decided to compile them into a podcast format here.

If you want to catch up on my thoughts from Saturday's craziness, this is here for you! we'll get back to normal podcasts Sunday night but hopefully this is better than nothing for those who wanted me to weigh in on Saturday's stuff.

Brenden Schaeffer spends 30 minutes on a Friday night breaking down the Cardinals 9-8 loss to the Twins, the Leahy outing, the Stanek moment, while also diving into the explanation for how all the Nolan Gorman-Blaze Jordan saga unfolded on Friday afternoon, too.

Nolan Gorman being pinch-hit for in the ninth inning in the game situation he was in still made sense, but it also spoke volumes about the way we're viewing his status with the team right now.

Brenden explains why that is in the latest episode of B-Schaeff Daily after the Cardinals 5-4 loss to the Mets on Thursday.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 9-2 win over the Mets on Wednesday as Jordan Walker powered up once again, homering for the 17th time to set a new career high.

He was far from alone in the Cardinal lineup doing damage, though. This is just the most complete version of the team that we've seen all year.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 7-0 win over the Mets on Tuesday night in the return for Nathan Church, who had three hits and a marvelous catch in the victory.Alec Burleson powered up in a big way, while Ivan Herrera reached base a whopping five times.Oh, and Dustin May continues to be rock solid in this rotation, which yes, could invite uncomfortable questions at the trade deadline.

On Monday's off-day for the Cardinals, Brenden Schaeffer discusses the impending demotion of Victor Scott II to Triple-A Memphis. Was this the right move? Where does it leave the roster and the starting lineup moving forward for the Cardinals?

Riley O'Brien saved two of the three wins over the Reds this weekend, even if one of those saves came in more adventurous fashion than he intended.How does a closer bounce back from a dicey outing? Hear it from Riley himself as he describes his mentality in his marquee role for the Redbirds.

The Cardinals got the sweep over the Reds with a 5-3 win on Sunday at Busch. The pitching stood tall and the relentless Cardinals simply found another way to break through late in a game, for their 19th comeback win of 2026.
