September 04, 2026 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?

September 02, 2026 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.

August 31, 2026 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.

August 28, 2026 The Stats That Could Decide Wetherholt vs. Stewart...
The NL Rookie of the Year race has flipped fast, and JJ Wetherholt may be running out of time. Bernie Miklasz breaks down whether the St. Louis Cardinals rookie’s elite all-around game can overcome Sal Stewart’s massive power numbers for the Cincinnati Reds.
Stewart has captured attention with his home runs and RBIs, while Wetherholt continues to dominate in defense, baserunning, and overall value.
Bernie examines the traditional statistics, advanced metrics, ballpark factors, recent trends, and additional contenders that could decide one of MLB’s most fascinating award races.

August 26, 2026 Rebuild Reality: Why This Collapse Is Part of the Plan
The St. Louis Cardinals were embarrassed 13-1 at Busch Stadium, but the ugliest loss of 2026 may reveal why the rebuild is working. Bernie Miklasz cuts through the panic, explains the pitching collapse, and shows why Chaim Bloom’s young roster could still be ahead of schedule.
In this edition of The Bernie Show, Bernie examines Matthew Liberatore’s difficult season, Nolan Gorman’s rough return from Memphis, Joshua Báez’s adjustment to major league pitching, and the roster problems behind the Cardinals’ recent free fall.

August 24, 2026 Bernie on the Bullpen Chaim Bloom Never Fixed
The Cardinals carried a four run lead into the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday in Philadelphia with a 98 percent probability of winning. Thirty nine pitches later, the entire problem with this season was sitting out in the open for anyone willing to look at it.

Bernie Miklasz breaks down the Cardinals' collapse against the Phillies, the 11 game road trip that ended 5-6, and why the bullpen meltdown was the predictable end of a chain that started weeks ago.

He gets into the rotation losses, the Kyle Leahy innings plan he fully supports, the one offseason decision he thinks Chaim Bloom got wrong, and the Oli Marmol decision he does criticize, without the theatrics.

August 21, 2026 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.

August 19, 2026 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.

August 17, 2026 Joshua Baez Shocked Baseball at Wrigley, But Bernie Is Watching Something Else...
Joshua Baez did something no player in Major League Baseball history had ever done, and 24 hours later he struck out three times and went hitless. Bernie Miklasz says the second game may end up mattering just as much as the first.
On this Monday edition of The Bernie Show, Bernie breaks down the most stunning debut in baseball history and then makes the case that Baez's quiet Sunday was quietly useful.
He walks through why the Cardinals were right to keep Baez at Triple-A Memphis longer than fans wanted, what the swing adjustments actually fixed, and why he now believes he was wrong to push for an earlier call up.
He also explains what Baez's arrival does for Jordan Walker, why this lineup suddenly looks deeper, and why the Jimmy Crooks reaction should be a warning to everyone about how fast a fan base can turn on a young hitter.

August 14, 2026 Bernie Admits He Was Wrong About Joshua Baez
Bernie Miklasz spent this season pounding the table for the Cardinals to call up Joshua Báez, and in this video he says out loud that he was wrong. What changed his mind was a three-week collapse in Memphis that almost nobody outside the organization was tracking.
Báez did not make the trip to Wrigley Field, and the frustration from Cardinals fans has gotten loud enough that some are threatening to stop buying tickets until he is promoted.
Bernie walks through why the rookie eligibility clock is no longer a reason to wait, what Chaim Bloom's player development group has been quietly rebuilding in Báez's swing since July, and the one vulnerability Triple-A pitchers are still exploiting that would get exposed immediately at the major league level.
He also lays out the realistic promotion windows, including the six-game homestand that begins August 25.
