Ep. 578: Are the Cardinals sliding back again — Or are the Phillies just that good?

B-Schaeff Daily

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals 6-1 loss to the Phillies on Saturday, June 1, 2024.

Now that the Cardinals have lost consecutive times to Philly, are you concerned the team is backsliding after it worked so hard to get back to .500 earlier in the week? Or is this series more about the greatness of this Phillies team than it is the shortcomings of the Cardinals, in which case you're not nearly as worried about these results going against St. Louis right now?

In this episode of B-Schaeff Daily, Brenden dives into Sonny Gray's outing and another quiet night for the offense despite facing what essentially amounted to a bullpen game after an injury to Philadelphia's starter knocked him from the game early.

And Jordan Walker got on the board with his first homer of the year Saturday in Memphis!
