Oli Marmol’s SECRET Weapon? Keeping St. Louis Cardinals Pitchers Healthy


Listen Later

Bernie takes you inside one of the biggest, but least talked about, reasons for the St. Louis Cardinals’ 2025 success: their ability to stay healthy, especially on the pitching side.

While injuries are decimating teams across MLB, the Cardinals have one of the lowest totals of games missed in the league. Bernie explains why this isn’t just “luck,” breaking down how Oli Marmol and Dusty Blake are managing pitcher workloads smartly with a six-man rotation and efficient pitch counts.
Plus, Bernie calls out silly “jinx” superstitions and gives eye-opening comparisons with injury totals around the league. A must-watch if you want to understand what’s really fueling the Cardinals’ playoff push!
