September 22, 2025 Inside the Cardinals Rebuild: What Happens Next
The 2025 home slate is over, attendance is down, and, yes, the St. Louis Cardinals are in a rebuild.
Bernie explains why the R-word is finally unavoidable, what Chaim Bloom has already changed in player development, why “volume of prospects” is the strategy, and how attendance may dip again before the payoff.
Plus: context on Bill DeWitt’s 30-year run, what the Brewers model teaches, and a look at Nolan Arenado’s likely Busch farewell moment.

September 19, 2025 Why Cardinals Fans MUST Show Class for Mozeliak's Final Game
Bernie Miklasz delivers an important message to St. Louis Cardinals fans ahead of John Mozeliak's final home game as President of Baseball Operations.
Yes, Bernie has been tough on Mo over the years, but this is different. Bernie explains why this weekend is the time to show respect, remember Mozeliak's role in the Cardinals golden era, and send him off with class.
From the 2011 World Series to countless winning seasons, Mo's legacy is more than just the last three years.

September 18, 2025 Why Everyone’s Sleeping on Missouri (Until Saturday Night)
Bernie sets the stage for a rare Saturday-night primetime at Faurot: Mizzou vs South Carolina.
He details how Len’Norris Sellers’ “questionable” status whipsawed the spread, warns about Shane Beamer’s likely trick plays, and argues Mizzou’s recent body of work (wins, SP+, PFF grades) proves they were badly underrated in preseason polls.
He highlights the Tigers’ home-field dominance, an improving offense under Bo Beulah, and a run-game matchup Mizzou should control — while acknowledging the tough slate ahead and the need to avoid a letdown that voters would punish instantly.

September 17, 2025 Cardinals MUST Cut Ties With Nolan Arenado
Bernie digs into the uncomfortable question of the week: Is this Nolan Arenado’s final homestand as a St. Louis Cardinal?
From the post-2022 slide to today’s offensive crater, defensive slippage, and messy contract math, Bernie explains why moving Arenado is essential to a true rebuild — even if it means eating 50–60% of the remaining money or, yes, considering an outright release.
He also lays out why showcasing Arenado the next two weeks might be the Cards’ best leverage…and the risks if it backfires.
Plus: wild-card mirage talk, runway-season inconsistencies with Nolan Gorman, JJ Wetherholt pathing, and how third base opens options for a right-handed bat.

September 17, 2025 Cardinals Fans Won’t Like This… But It’s True
Bernie cuts through the rage culture to give a balanced verdict on John Mozeliak’s tenure, Bill DeWitt’s role, and why Chaim Bloom is inheriting more than problems.
From farm-system leaps to legit MLB trade chips, here’s why the St. Louis Cardinals are positioned to rebuild the right way (grow it, then spend to finish it).

September 16, 2025 Cardinals FOOLING Themselves and Fans
Bernie breaks down why the St. Louis Cardinals squandered 2025 (and 2024), how half-measures kept the club “stuck in the middle,” and why a real rebuild can’t wait.
From the non-moves last winter and a subtract-at-the-deadline mindset to muddled “runway” messaging, Bernie walks through who progressed (Burleson, Libby), who regressed (Walker, Pagés’ defense), who was blocked (McGreevy, Baker), and why playing time decisions undercut the whole “audition season.” He closes with what has to change under Chaim Bloom and what fans should demand next.

September 12, 2025 Brewers OWN the Cardinals Now: Here’s How STL Takes It Back
The St. Louis Cardinals head to Milwaukee, and the reality is harsh: since 2018 the Brewers have out-thought St. Louis at nearly every turn—player development, analytics, baserunning, swing decisions, and pitching pipeline—despite spending far less.
Bernie lays out how the rivalry flipped, why payroll talk misses the point, and what Chaim Bloom must do to modernize the operation: draft for whiffs, get younger and faster, tap international talent, and rebuild a true pitching factory. Plus: a quick history refresher, where STL still has edges, and why patience is part of the plan.

September 11, 2025 Cardinals Offense Is HIDEOUS: Why Chaim Bloom Must Fix This in 2026
Bernie goes all in on the 2025 St. Louis Cardinals offense: the Mariners sweep, league-worst post-ASB metrics, power outage (9 HR over 913 AB for key bats), and why first base is the only position group above average.
Bernie also calls on Chaim Bloom to prioritize run production in 2026—even in a rebuild. No more excuses, no more “just wait for health.” What should change? Who needs to go? And how does this compare to peak STL offenses like 2004?
If you’re tired of 3 runs or fewer and one-or-none HR nights, this one’s for you.

September 10, 2025 The Cardinals Wild Card That Never Was (…and Why It Was Possible)
Bernie breaks down why 2025 didn’t have to be a total “Project Runway” year for the St. Louis Cardinals. With the Mets, Reds, and Giants wobbling, the third Wild Card door stayed wide open.. and the Cardinals still couldn’t walk through. Bernie details the low-cost moves (one more starter, a RH outfield bat, smarter IL decisions) that might’ve flipped 4–7 games and kept STL in the race. Plus, how “hero ball” managing and payroll politics torpedoed the chance.

September 09, 2025 Which Cardinals ACTUALLY Earned 2026 Jobs?
Bernie goes player-by-player through the St. Louis Cardinals “Proving It or Losing It” list: Alec Burleson’s legit leap, Jordan Walker’s stalled development, Michael McGreevy’s steady case, Andre Pallante’s struggles, Nolan Gorman’s strikeout spiral, Victor Scott’s elite glove/speed vs. bat, Iván Herrera’s everyday bat (but where?), and Matthew Liberatore’s quietly strong first full year.
Plus quick hits on Kyle Leahy, Matt Svanson, Riley O’Brien, Pedro Pagés, Jimmy Crooks, and Thomas Saggese.
