THIS Cardinals Stat Left Bernie SHOCKED
Bernie thought he had the 2026 Cardinals figured out, until he dug into the catching numbers and realized he had been completely asleep on one of the team's biggest stories. What he found forced him to publicly admit he was wrong, and the stats behind Pedro Pagés' breakout will surprise even hardcore Cardinals fans.
In this episode, Bernie breaks down why the Pedro Pagés and Iván Herrera catching tandem is quietly performing as the 4th-best offensive catching group in Major League Baseball, with advanced metrics that put Pagés ahead of Cal Raleigh, William Contreras, Will Smith, and J.T. Realmuto in slugging percentage, OPS, and WRC+.
Bernie also explains exactly why catching prospect Jimmy Crooks belongs in Triple-A Memphis right now, using his struggles against non-fastballs to make the case that promoting him too early could derail his development.
