Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals win on Saturday over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Busch Stadium.Matthew Liberatore has been remarkable and was again on Saturday. But some defensive mishaps caused a solid lead to disappear as Jordan Walker and Brendan Donovan had some unfortunate moments in the field.But for Jordan Walker to be the reason the Cardinals brought it back with his clutch swing to regain the lead, that's pure serendipity. Ryan Helsley on a back-to-back is often a little nerve-wracking but great defense by Nolan Arenado and Alec Burleson in the ninth helped guide Helsley to a key... win? Why not a save? Regardless, impressive stuff from STLSubscribe to this channel for more Cardinals content all year long!

The St. Louis Cardinals took their first series loss since nearly a month ago in Atlanta, when they lost to the Tigers 5-1 at Busch Stadium on Wednesday.Andre Pallante was not at his best and struggled with walks, but he kept the Cardinals in it.Unfortunately, the offense did not produce the way you wanted to see in a bullpen game. Was there a bit of a hangover after the tough way they lost Tuesday night? It's an interesting question.And as we often see, you have to be willing to use your whole bullpen in games that you're behind rather than chasing the game with your favorite reliever or two.Plus, we discuss the returns to the mound of Tink Hence and Quinn Mathews in recent rehab assignments!Follow this podcast feed for daily Cardinals coverage all year!

The St. Louis Cardinals fell to the Detroit Tigers 5-4 in a tightly contested game on Tuesday night at Busch Stadium. Brenden Schaeffer breaks it all down here in the latest episode of his daily Cardinals podcast, B-Schaeff Daily, describing some of the key points in the matchup that ultimately turned against St. Louis in a tough loss.While there were numerous key decisions in the game that Oliver Marmol had to make, I'm not necessarily convinced that he erred with, really, any of them when you boil down the thought processes behind each. But in what he spoke at the most length regarding in the postgame, Oli revealed the one decision point that clearly ate at him the most in retrospect of a hard-luck loss for the Cardinals.Follow this podcast feed for Cardinals coverage all year long.

The St. Louis Cardinals just secured a series victory over the Kansas City Royals this weekend, finishing their nine-game road trip with a 7-2 record and going back to St. Louis five games above .500.

Is it time to move Ivan Herrera up in the lineup?Overall, the guys discuss how real this run by the Cardinals is, and whether or not it's time to declare them a contender in the National League.

It is very interesting that for the last few years they’ve had a very stoic team and a very stoic ballpark. This is not a stoic team. This is a kinetic team. It’s time to have a kinetic ballpark.” PHILADELPHIA -- The wake of the Cardinals roll to a series win at the rocking Citizens Bank Park against the Phillies, Post-Dispatch sports writers Jeff Gordon and Derrick Goold discuss if expectations should change for the 2025 Cardinals after they won nine consecutive games and 10 of 11. The Cardinals' stated goal in this "transition" year is to be better in May than they were in April and better in June than they were in May. A brand new Best Podcast in Baseball explores this question: When they have a May that puts them within one game of the National League Central lead and earns them the longest winning streak of the month in the National League, then haven't they rewritten what it means to be better in June? Gordon, a sports columnist, and BPIB host Goold, a baseball writer, note how the Cardinals clearly have buy-in from the players, and next would be buy-in from fans before the ultimate test. Does this team get buy-in from ownership to add what it needs for a legit run toward October? Gordon suggests that the style of baseball and success of May should lead to more fans at the ballpark, and that prompts a bit of a rant from Goold about the atmosphere at Busch Stadium. The Phillies drew 40,000 to a Monday game in South Philly, and they had pulsating, jamming crowds for a doubleheader despite poor weather. The Cardinals need to borrow from some of their rivals, and that starts with having a player choose a singalong walk-up song (ala Bryson Stott) that gets the whole crowd involved and part of the experience and then finally identifying and adopting a victory song for all the fans to sing at the end of home wins.  The Cardinals have had a businesslike and stoic team for years and the ballpark reflected that often. This is no longer that team. The team should embrace that, own that, and make that part of the ballpark experience.

Tom Ackerman breaks down the Cardinals' hot streak—eight straight wins and a sweep of the Nationals—highlighting standout performances from pitchers like Fetty, Palante, Gray, and Liberatore.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 win over the Pirates on Tuesday at Busch Stadium as Matthew Liberatore outdueled Paul Skenes, who has to be about plumb tired of facing the Cardinals at this point.He still hasn't beaten this St. Louis team and it was Liberatore's brilliance combined with Alec Burleson's timely hitting against Skenes that made the difference on Tuesday.Plus, did Gordon Graceffo just show us that he's a closer in the making at the MLB level?Follow this podcast feed for St. Louis Cardinals coverage all year!

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the unbelievable St. Louis Cardinals doubleheader sweep of the Mets on Sunday at Busch Stadium as Michael McGreevy put the team on his back in Game 2. Victor Scott II made one of the best catches you'll ever see to rob a home run from Juan Soto. Erick Fedde and Andre Pallante walked way too many guys. Will the Cardinals look more closely at their rotation spots with clear candidates for promotions into the starting five, or will it be business as usual?It was a potentially season-shifting day at Busch, so we'll talk about the implications as the Cards pull to within three games of .500 out of nowhere.Follow this podcast feed for daily Cardinals coverage all year!

Brenden Schaeffer discusses a rain-soaked loss for the St. Louis Cardinals in Cincinnati on Thursday as the rain delay knocked Matthew Liberatore from his start prematurely and apparently took any chances the Cardinals had in the game with him.Are we concerned about the offense after being completely stymied by the Reds bullpen again?

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals dropping the series opener in Cincinnati against the Reds at Great American Ballpark, 3-1 as Nick Martinez out-dueled Andre Pallante.Pallante gave the Cardinals a quality start and saw the bullpen do a solid job behind him, but he did not get the run support he needed to win this game.Why have the Cards struggled so much on the road compared to their output at home this season? The road record is down to 2-12 while the club is 10-5 in games at Busch Stadium.It's confusing, but it's the trend at this point--we talk about what Oli Marmol had to say about it postgame and whether it's impacting the team at this point in the year.Hey, at least Jordan Walker made a stellar play in RF!Follow this podcast feed for daily St. Louis Cardinals content all year round!

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5 win over the Brewers on Saturday at Busch Stadium as the Cards walked it off on a Nolan Arenado home run in the bottom of the ninth.The Cardinals actually played a very solid game all the way through to the ninth, getting timely hitting and good defense to go along with a solid outing from Sonny Gray. Even the bridge to Ryan Helsley was good from the STL bullpen on Saturday. But, well, Helsley himself... left something to be desired.Still, Nolan Arenado called game and sent the fans home happy!

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 Welcome to a brand-new Best Podcast in Baseball. St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer and host Derrick Goold is joined this week by colleague, sports columnist, and instant offense Jeff Gordon. They discuss the Cardinals’ “relentless bunch” – their league-leading on-base machine lineup and their leader, hitting coach Brant Brown. There’s even a quiz on his catchphrases. The two writers look at the Cardinals shift to a six-man rotation for the coming week. And then they dive into the numbers on attendance in the early series of the season, ticket sales, and whether the dip in attendance reflects exactly the drop in payroll. Will the assertive start by the lineup and this team’s style of play be enough to bring fans to Busch Stadium, or Goold asks, is there something else afoot hear? The Cardinals have advertised a “transition” year, so is coming to the ballpark early in the season less fun because the team is more likely to change? Being there to watch a team in April that will be dismantled by August can be a hard sell.

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 There is a decades-old comic book from Japan that freelance journalist and baseball writer Brad Lefton carries with him and has promised to share when next at the Busch Stadium press box. It features a heroic baseball player, Kyojin no Hoshi, and, in one issue, Red Schoendienst and the Cardinals appear. A fictional character in the comic wears the Birds on the Bat as he becomes a rival to the comic's protagonist. So it was for the Cardinals for years -- two Cardinals teams, one led by Stan Musial and another by Bob Gibson, visited Japan on tours. The Cardinals were one of the first teams in Major League Baseball to sign a position from Japan when So Taguchi arrived in the early 2000s. He would go on to start in the World Series, win in a World Series championship, and be a key part of a pennant winner for the Cardinals. When he met Schoendienst he marveled that he was the same person he knew from the Kyojin no Hoshi comic. But Taguchi was also the last Japan-born player the Cardinals signed. They have been unsuccessful or absent in the pursuit of players from Japan since. To discuss why and how the Cardinals can become relevant for fans and players in Japan, the Best Podcast in Baseball welcomes a longtime baseball writer who grew up in St. Louis and now covers baseball for and in Japan. Lefton, a St. Louis-based freelance journalist, writes about baseball for a variety of outlets, including NHK and Number in Japan. He writes in Japanese and English about the game, and his work has also appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and the Cardinals' magazine. In the coming weeks, he'll visit Cooperstown, New York, where he's working as a consultant withe National Baseball Hall of Fame on an exhibition about baseball and Japan, and that exhibit will certainly include the Cardinals' tours and other ties to baseball in Japan. Lefton recently completed reporting on an article about former Cardinals pitcher Drew VerHagen's return to pitch in Japan, and in the coming months, Lefton will write a lot about the oncoming Hall of Fame induction of Ichiro Suzuki. Lefton joins St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold to discuss Ichiro's arrival the majors, his "laser beam" throw, his fondness for the game, and his influence in the huge presence Japan has in the modern game, and not just on the Dodgers' roster. The two baseball writers also discuss how the Cardinals attempted to increase their presence in Japan and whether geography has become to high a hurdle for them to clear. Lefton also describes how growing up in St. Louis, where he also was an intern at KMOX/1120 AM, informs his baseball writing and his interest in Japan and its love of the game. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold. In its 13th year, BPIB drops weekly and is eager to hear from listeners about what it does well and what it can do better.

TWR Season 4 Episode 23 of the Travels With Randy podcast is here! St Louis Baseball And The Natchez Trace Parkway Well it's been a fun week for Randy! The week started with him at Busch Stadium watching his Angels play the Cardinals.   From there, he had to dodge thunderstorms, lightning, and tornadoes as he crossed over to Memphis.  After driving a few hours east of there he found the Natchez Trace Parkway, and old Native American trail which is now managed by the Federal govt (a la The Blue Ridge Parkway for example) which meanders from just south of Nashville to Natchez, LA. After that, it wouldn't be TWR if the fellas didn't speak about bigger issues.  Tonight,  they focused on the differences between generations, how to raise men in this climate, and whether or not OnlyFans girls are justified earning their living or if they are contributing to the horrific dating/marriage/birthrate stats right now.   C'mon in - the brainwater's fine!

The Marc Cox Morning Show kicks off with Marc discussing the less-than-ideal weekend weather affecting plans, including canceled Savannah Bananas games at Busch Stadium, and sharing a personal wedding memory. He also highlights Abby's upcoming wedding near Union Station while reflecting on the impact of President Biden's policies, particularly trade tensions, tariffs, and judicial appointments. Marc dives into the ongoing fallout from the Biden administration's approach, including the controversy over court cases assigned to politically charged judges. In the second segment, Jim Carafano from the Heritage Foundation discusses President Trump's tariffs, the global fallout, and the importance of supporting Israel's position on the Hamas hostage situation. Rep. Eric Burlison joins Marc in the third segment to discuss tariffs, American manufacturing, and the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity bill. They explore the push to eliminate tax stamps on suppressors and short-barrel rifles and the growing calls to rein in rogue agencies like the ATF.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses making a wrong turn off Tucker Blvd. to end up at Busch Stadium instead of Enterprise Center on Tuesday night.The Cardinals lost in extras for the second game in a row and Brenden is evidently the world's biggest contrarian because he frankly didn't see anything to be overly mad about from Tuesday's game.You can always debate and discuss and dissect certain moments, but the "controversial" topics from this game really end up falling flat when you consider the information that was known about those decisions in the moment rather than wait for the outcome to decide what the decision should have been.Brenden explains what he means by this and rants about it a little. Sorry in advance.Follow this podcast feed for Cardinals coverage all year!

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 It would be difficult for the Cardinals to script a better opening weekend for their "transition" year that an emphatic sweep of the visiting Minnesota Twins. The Cardinals got sturdy performances from the starters, stellar play from the defense, and 19 runs in three days from the offsenese. Lars Nootbaar ignited the weekend with a run scored in three of the Cardinals' first four games, and Victor Scott personified the three-game series sweep of the Twins with a dynamic catch in the opener, two stolen bases in the middle game, and the decisive three-run homer in the series finale. The Cardinals put on a show. And some of the smallest crowds in Busch Stadium history were there to see it. How can the Cardinals grow a team and regrow the crowds? Will one assure the other, or are the Cardinals entering more than a "transition" year in the front office and actually embarking on a whole new product to sell fans? Maybe reset wasn't the word after all. This is a rebranding. Post-Dispatch sports columnist Jeff Gordon joins Best Podcast in Baseball host Derrick Goold to discuss the first four games of the Cardinals season and how they came a late-game bullpen leak away from starting 4-0. The Cardinals established their identity early, and the question becomes whether they can maintain it to be competitive in the National League Central. But that isn't the only question. Competitive is quaint. Competitive is the expectation. Moving merch is essential. Will a style of play be enough? Will winning be enough? After several years of selling nostalgia to fans, the Cardinals need more than a clear message about the future. They need a brand new way to market the team.

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the Cardinals first loss of the 2025 season, a 5-4 defeat in extra innings to the Angels at a sparsely populated Busch Stadium.In front of the smallest crowd in Busch III's history, the Cardinals saw walks come back to haunt their pitchers, while not getting enough thump at the plate aside from solo homers by Nootbaar and Donovan off a lefty SP.Key decisions and moments late came around to help determine the outcome. Ivan Herrera removed early for defensive reasons, Brendan Donovan with a mental mistake on a chopper in the 10th inning and a decision not to pinch-hit Nolan Gorman for Masyn Winn with the game on the line against a RHP. We dive into Oliver Marmol's thoughts on a number of the key moments and whether we generally had much of an issue with the way the manager approached the key moments of this contest.Follow this podcast feed for Cardinals coverage all year long!----Call Kevin Foley with Universal Windows Direct for your FREE estimate! 618-520-1234

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 While typing the introduction to a brand new episode of Best Podcast in Baseball, I'm sitting in the press box at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie, Florida, having just watched rookie Michael McGreevy carve through the Mets lineup, pitch around two errors, and finish his impressive spring trianing with five scoreless innings. Meanwhile, down in Jupiter, Florida, Victor Scott II has homered. Again. McGreevy and Scott personify the decision the Cardinals are going to have to make weighing whether it is better for their future to have a deserving player sitting in St. Louis or playing in Memphis. That's the crux of quesitons facing the Cardinals as they crystallize their roster before leaving Florida for the start of the regular season and opening day Thursday against Minnesota at Busch Stadium.  The final Best Podcast in Baseball from Florida centers on that choice -- sitting in the majors, playing in the minors -- and what is best for the players, what is best for the team, and what is a true reflection of the promised "transition" and youth movement? How they act upon the strong springs by McGreevy and Scott will say more than any quote from the Cardinals. Post-Dispatch sports writers Derrick Goold and Jeff Gordon explore the final Cardinals' roster choices and much more much in the sixth episode of the 13th season of the Best Podcast in Baseball. Gordon also provides a forecast for the reception the Cardinals will receive upon returning to St. Louis.

JUPITER, Fla. -- With three weeks of spring training remaining before opening day at Busch Stadium and three weeks to make decisions on the bullpen, three weeks to explore any last-minute trades, three weeks to stir the offense, and three weeks to make that first free-agent move of the offseason, the Best Podcast in Baseball considers camp with a pair of threes. Three up. Three down. Post-Dispatch sports columnist and instant offense for StlToday.com Jeff Gordon joins baseball writer Derrick Goold to discuss three ups of spring (players who have stood out) and three downs (trends of note), and all of that leads to the one major lineup dilemma looming over the team. Manager Oliver Marmol likes to say it will take a larger room to come to a conclusion on some of the defining decisions of March. This is a look at how those talks could go. Gordon joins the podcast from St. Louis, while Goold is in Jupiter covering spring training for the Post-Dispatch's constant Cardinals coverage. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is in its 13th season. It is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.
