In today’s Bernie Show, Bernie Miklasz breaks down the core problem plaguing the St. Louis Cardinals offense: a shocking lack of true star power.

Bernie explains why Masyn Winn, Brendan Donovan, and others — while good players — aren’t elite hitters that can consistently carry a team. He takes you inside the numbers to show how this lineup is defined by extreme highs and lows, and why the days of Pujols, Edmonds, and Rolen feel like ancient history. Can the Cardinals ever return to having true MVP-caliber bats? What will it take? Join Bernie for an honest, deep dive on the state of Cardinals baseball.
