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.
