Ep. 779: Cardinals SWEEP the Nationals! That's E-I-G-H-T (8) Wins In a Row!
Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 win over the Nationals on Sunday, Mother's Day, as the Redbirds keep things rolling by sweeping the Nats and winning their eighth straight game!Miles Mikolas once again did all you could ask for, even if he felt like he could see his game extended beyond the 69 pitches that he threw, we explain why it was certainly the right choice by Oliver Marmol to turn to Steven Matz for what ended up being the biggest leverage spot in the game.The Cardinals offense got some early power swings off against MacKenzie Gore with Nootbaar and Contreras both launching their sixth home runs of the season. It was even more impressive, though, the way the Cards kept at it against Gore and chased him from the game with a key insurance rally in the seventh inning.Nolan Arenado tacked on a two-run homer of his own in the eighth to allow the Cards to comfortably complete the sweep!Now, a big series in Philadelphia looms as the Cardinals send their top arms to the mound against the Phillies. Would a series win get the fans to totally buy back into what we're seeing? Sound off in the comments!Follow this podcast feed for daily Cardinals coverage all year round!

Ep. 778: Cardinals SURVIVE Anxious 9th For Helsley To Win SEVENTH Straight Game!
Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 win over the Nationals on Saturday as Andre Pallante became the latest Cardinals starter to pitch an absolute gem.Were we surprised to see him stay in the game for the eighth inning considering the rested nature of the bullpen? Perhaps, but it's also fair to say there weren't really any obvious signs of him slowing down prior to the Dylan Crews homer.At that point, it was up to JoJo Romero and Ryan Helsley, the latter of whom had an adventurous ninth inning after some questionable pitch sequencing seemed to throw him off his game in the Josh Bell at-bat.All's well that ends well for the Cards as they've now won 7 in a row. Can Miles Mikolas keep it going against a big-time strikeout pitcher on the other side Sunday?Follow this podcast feed for Cardinals coverage all year long!
