There is baseball THIS THURSDAY. The season begins, Opening Day is upon us, and Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch dig into it all, including the very encouraging news that Victor Scott II will be the Day One centerfielder and Matthew Liberatore will be in the rotation. We then discuss what we should expect from this season, and we even make some predictions in the process. Also! Bernie has a lot of exciting stuff happening! We discuss that too! But he's still here for Seeing Red. We hope you are too.

There's too much negativity out there! We're going to do some #happytalk. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch preview the Cardinals season by trying to be explicitly optimistic: What's the best-case scenario for this Cardinals team? What are we excited about? What should FANS be excited about? It's the Happy Talk show! It's spring! We're living in a magical land of sunshine! (For now. And probably not for very long.)

Part Two of our big season preview series continues with Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch taking a look at the pitching staff, the rotation, the bullpen, the prospects, all of it. We're actually close to baseball starting, seriously. We also talk about Yadier Molina and Albert Pujols as managerial candidates. And there are games next week!

Enough offseason grousing: There's an actual team out there! Let's discuss them! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch kick off our 2025 Cardinals Preview series by digging deep into the lineup, offense and defense. How will Oli Marmol balance all the disparate parts? Who is this team's center fielder? How do you get at-bats for Nolan Gorman? Does having Arenado back clog everything up? We dig into all of it. You can almost smell the freshly cut grass.

Spring Training is, at its core, about optimism, and we've got, at last, a little bit of that thanks to JJ Wetherholt, the first-round pick who launched a gorgeous opposite field homer in the Cardinals' second Grapefruit League game. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch discuss the youngster, as well as Nolan Arenado and, disturbingly, Erick Fedde trade rumors.

Well, Nolan Arenado has reported to Spring Training ... so we suppose Bernie and Will should as well. It's our first show of Spring Training, and we dig into Nolan's return, what the Cardinals' plan is (if there is one) and what, exactly, we're supposed to expect for this year. It's a weird time!

Hey, everybody, we missed you! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch are back and ... well, nothing has happened with the Cardinals. We discuss the inactivity, Nolan Arenado, the rotation and what, if anything, is going to happen next. We really, really missed you.

Hey, everybody, we missed you! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch are back and talking about Willson Contreras at first base, potential trades of Nolan Arenado and Ryan Helsley, and all sorts of stuff. And Will might get Bernie on Bluesky. It's a big fall check-in! Hi!

Well, the Cardinals had their big end-of-season press conference. Bernie and Will go over their (and your) observations ... and say goodbye to the 2024 season.

Will and Bernie are baffled to learn that the Cardinals are saying they're making big changes ... but bringing the exact people who let things go downhill back to make those changes. What is going on? We try to make sense of it. But it's very, very hard.
