   Number 1: What Leo Bernal’s Call-Up Really Means..

   Leo Bernal is coming to St. Louis, and his promotion could force the Cardinals to make a defining roster decision. With four catchers in the majors and top prospect Rainiel Rodriguez rising fast, who plays, who stays, and who gets traded? Bernie Miklasz examines the Cardinals’ crowded catching situation, from Bernal and Jimmy Crooks to Pedro Pagés and Iván Herrera. He breaks down Bernal’s defensive reputation, offensive development and potential trade value, then explains why Herrera’s declining Statcast profile could become a major factor during the offseason. 👑 Presented by DraftKings Sports.

   Number 2: SHOULD the Cardinals Do It? Bernie Weighs in

   The Cardinals score 36.5% more runs on the road than they do at Busch Stadium, and Bernie Miklasz says that is not a hot streak, a small sample, or bad luck. It is the ballpark, and the gap is now the widest it has been since Busch opened in 2006. In this episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie walks through the home and road splits that have taken over his mentions on X, answers the most common objections one by one, and shares what a Statcast contact told him about why fly balls go to die in the power alleys at Busch Stadium. Then he takes on the biggest question facing Cardinals ownership: should they move the fences in? 👑 Presented by DraftKings Sports.

   Number 3: St. Louis Sports Fans Need to Hear This About Stan Kroenke...

   Stan Kroenke just paid a record $4 billion for the Los Angeles Angels, and within hours St. Louis reacted the way it always does. Bernie Miklasz says that reaction is the most valuable thing Kroenke owns in this city, and he is not going to pretend otherwise. On this edition of The Bernie Show, Bernie breaks down the record Angels sale, what it exposes about MLB owners crying poor ahead of a salary cap fight, and why Mike Trout and the Angels clubhouse are genuinely thrilled. Then he retraces the entire Kroenke playbook in St. Louis: the minority stake, the publicly financed dome that printed money, the six year tank, the relocation, and the lawsuit settlement. Along the way he shares a dinner conversation with Roger Goodell, explains the real reason Jeff Fisher was hired, and defends St. Louis as a pro football market that never had anything to prove. Finally, he takes on the local reaction he calls preposterous, from the Nashville panic to the "new rival" takes, and explains what the sale might mean for John Mozeliak in Anaheim. 👑 Presented by DraftKings Sports.

   Number 4: The Stat That CHANGES the Oli Marmol Argument

   A rebuilding team just won its fifth straight series and is sitting two and a half games out of a playoff spot. Bernie Miklasz has the late-inning numbers that explain how, and they point somewhere most Cardinals fans have not been looking. Bernie breaks down the wild five-game series in Cincinnati, the July collapse that should have ended the season, what the trade deadline actually cost this roster, and the one move he believes Chaim Bloom should have made. Plus a data-backed case for Oli Marmol that runs against the loudest opinions on Cardinals Twitter.

   Number 5: The Joshua Baez Reality Check...

   Joshua Baez made history at Wrigley Field, then went 0 for 18. Bernie Miklasz says the panic is misplaced, and the Statcast data explains exactly why. On this episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie breaks down what the St. Louis Cardinals rookie is actually doing at the plate versus what the box score suggests. He digs into Baez's 2026 Triple-A profile at Memphis, the chase and contact issues that delayed his promotion, why Chaim Bloom made the call when he did, and the exit velocity and hard-hit numbers that point to better days ahead. Then Bernie goes deep into baseball history, because almost every great hitter you can name started out looking overmatched.
