October 01, 2025 Why Chaim Bloom Is the PERFECT Fit to Rebuild the Cardinals!
Bernie dives deep into why Bill DeWitt Jr. turned to Chaim Bloom as the St. Louis Cardinals new President of Baseball Operations.
From DeWitt’s history of hiring Jeff Luhnow to reshape the franchise in the 2000s, to Bloom’s track record in Tampa Bay and Boston, Bernie explains why this move signals a full modernization of Cardinals baseball.
Is this truly the start of a new era? Bernie lays out the philosophy, history, and what fans should expect from a rebuild that may take patience but could restore the Cardinals to being one of MLB’s smartest organizations.

September 30, 2025 You’re Blaming The WRONG Guy! Cardinals Problems Explained
Chaim Bloom is keeping Oli Marmol as the St. Louis Cardinals manager in 2026, and Bernie explains why that move tracks with where this franchise is headed.
He gets into the rebuild question, Bloom’s alignment with Marmol, and why so much of the last three years points above the manager’s pay grade.
Historical context matters, so he compares Marmol’s first four seasons to Tony La Russa’s first four in St. Louis, and we walk through where the bullpen and one-run results actually credit Marmol’s game management.

September 26, 2025 The HARD Truth on Walker, Numbers Don’t Lie

After a rocky 2025, defensive miscues, and a prolonged slump, the data and history point to one path: a full season of development.
Bernie cites recent comments from Cardinals hitting coach Brant Brown about Walker’s preparation, compares Walker’s two-year track to past Cardinals at the same age, and outlines how the organization should handle the young outfielder next year.

September 25, 2025 Did Sonny Gray Throw His LAST Pitch for the Cardinals?
Sonny Gray spoke openly about his future after the St. Louis Cardinals were eliminated, acknowledging he has to consider a trade and noting he “came here to win.”
In this episode, Bernie breaks down what Gray actually said, what his contract allows, and why a trade this winter lines up with the Cardinals’ rebuild.
He also compares Gray’s situation to Nolan Arenado’s no-trade decisions, outlines realistic destinations, and shows how St. Louis can cover the 2026 rotation while stockpiling future assets.

September 24, 2025 The Crazy Cardinals Just WON'T Quit!
Bernie Miklasz breaks down the St. Louis Cardinals wild 9–8 comeback win at Oracle Park and explains why, even in a frustrating 2025, this team still gives us reasons to smile.
He unpacks the season-long themes: 39 comeback wins, a strong bullpen and one-run resilience, but also the thin offense, rotation holes, and “what if” moments: Andre Pallante starts, waiting on Michael McGreevy, injuries to Iván Herrera and Brendan Donovan, and inconsistent highs and lows from Sonny Gray.
Plus: thoughts on attendance narratives, fan loyalty, and what Chaim Bloom must build next.

September 23, 2025 Why Ivan Herrera MUST Be the Centerpiece of the Cardinals Rebuild
Iván Herrera is the lone bright spot in a weak St. Louis Cardinals lineup: and the numbers prove it.
Bernie Miklasz breaks down why Herrera is already an elite hitter, how he stacks up against MLB’s best right-handed bats, and why he’s a crucial piece for Chaim Bloom’s rebuild. But with concerns about his defense, injuries, and position uncertainty, can the Cardinals maximize his value?

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.
