In a rare bonus episode, Bernie Miklasz breaks down shocking new details from The San Diego Union-Tribune’s Kevin Acee on Mike Shildt’s departure from the Padres, and how the same issues that doomed him in St. Louis resurfaced in San Diego.

Mizzou hosts No. 8 Alabama on Saturday, Oct 11 at 11:00 a.m. CT on ABC in a ranked SEC showdown at Faurot Field.
Bernie lays out why the Tigers have a real shot: Ahmad Hardy’s yards-after-contact machine, a defense that can generate pressure, and Beau Pribula’s accuracy in the quick game. He also digs into Alabama under Kalen DeBoer, QB Ty Simpson’s strengths, and the national skepticism that follows Mizzou until they beat an SEC blueblood.

October 07, 2025 Chaim Bloom’s PLAN in STL: Patience, Smart Trades, Real Contenders
Bernie Miklasz breaks down what a real St. Louis Cardinals rebuild should look like under Chaim Bloom.
How many star bats will STL need to get back to October, and where will they come from? Bernie argues for patience, smarter value trades, international scouting, and an uncompromising commitment to player development.

Mizzou welcomes No. 8 Alabama to Columbia on Saturday, Oct. 11 at 11 a.m. CT in a top-15 clash on ABC.
Bernie breaks down why this feels different for the Tigers: Eli Drinkwitz’s home-field surge, Kalen DeBoer’s shaky road and neutral results, and what the betting market is signaling as the spread slides toward Mizzou.
He hits the big matchups: QB Beau Pribula’s growth, RB Ahmad Hardy’s bulldozer season, and how Ty Simpson and Alabama’s pass pro match against Mizzou’s rush. Plus, why this game kicks off a brutal seven-game gauntlet that will define Missouri’s season.

October 03, 2025 Chaim Bloom Was DOOMED in Boston. Here’s Why STL Is Different
Bernie dives deep into the saga of Chaim Bloom, explaining why his disastrous run with the Boston Red Sox wasn’t his fault: and why the St. Louis Cardinals are the perfect landing spot for him.
From John Henry’s constant flip-flopping to Alex Cora’s power struggles, Bloom was undermined at every turn in Boston. Now, with Bill DeWitt Jr. and the Cardinals committed to his long-term vision, Bloom has the freedom and stability he never had before.
Bernie explains why this fresh start could finally restore the Cardinals’ player development machine and return the franchise to its former glory.
