Bernie Show: Rebuild? Cardinals finally face reality. 38:44

2d ago38:44

38:44

The Cardinals' farm system and player-development structure is an embarrassing mess. I knew it was bad, but the deterioration is much worse than I imagined. Thanks to the excellent reporting by Katie Woo, who covers the Cardinals for The Athletic, we received valuable information of how bad things are, and what must be done to fix a long-term found…

Bernie Show: St. Louis Stars of 2024 25:19

2d ago25:19

25:19

As I continue with my series of looks at the best and worst of the St. Louis Cardinals' season, I turn my attention to the two best stars on 2024. Two shining stars, sparkling above the mediocrity: Masyn Winn and Ryan Helsley. I think we all agree on both of these obvious choices. But I'll give you some extra details that you should find interestin…

Bernie Show: Can Oli Ever Be Loved? 27:21

3d ago27:21

27:21

There's obviously a chance that Oli Marmol will return as the St. Louis Cardinals' manager in 2025. He is under contract through the end of the 2026 season, and the Cardinals' ownership-management could give him another chance in '25. It depends on who will be running the baseball department in 2025? John Mozeliak? Chaim Bloom? What if the hand-off…

Bernie Show: All Eyes On Skip Schumaker! 19:31

3d ago19:31

19:31

If the Cardinals see Miami manager Skip Schumaker as an ideal candidate to take over as manager for the St. Louis franchise that he played and coached for, they can't afford to wait. I'm not saying that he's the only candidate the Cardinals should pursue. It's just a matter of timing. If Schumaker checks all of the boxes for the Cardinals -- and I …

Bernie Show: Mike Shildt is a Happy Man 25:21

4d ago25:21

25:21

Fired by Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak in a stunning and controversial move at the end of the 2021 season, Mike Shildt has rebounded in a big way by leading the San Diego Padres to the playoffs in his first season as their manager. And as we write this, the Padres are only two games behind the first-place Dodgers in the N…

Bernie Show: Most Disappointing Cardinal, 2024 24:01

4d ago24:01

24:01

The 2024 Cardinals will conclude a disappointing season at the end of the week. I'll be handing out some awards -- and some penalties -- in the coming days and weeks. Best player, MVP, most disappointing player, top pitcher, most overrated, most underrated, high point, low point, the firing line ... things like that. Today, I discuss the most Disap…

Bernie Show: What's it gonna be, Cardinals? 25:13

5d ago25:13

25:13

We respect Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras for speaking up and speaking about the team's front office needing to "be hungry" about improving the team, especially the lineup, to reclaim the NL Central division from Milwaukee. The truth is always preferred to head fakes and cliches and excuses. That said, we're not sure what Cardinals management …

Bernie Show: Wake Up, Mizzou 24:20

6d ago24:20

24:20

The Missouri Tigers are 4-0. That's great. But the first two games were glorified scrimmages, and over the past two weeks Mizzou has defeated Boston College and Vanderbilt by an average of 4.5 points. Coach Eli Drinkwitz and his team were very fortunate to escape with a harrowing 30-27 victory over visiting Vanderbilt in two overtimes. But the Tige…

Bernie Show: Brewers embarrass Cardinals again. 27:56

9d ago27:56

27:56

Despite having substantially lower payrolls than the Cardinals and Cubs, the small-market, limited-spending Milwaukee Brewers clinched their second NL Central division title this week. That makes three division championships in the last four seasons, and four first-place finishes in the last six years. The Cubs and Cardinals have a huge financial a…

Bernie Show: What if Chaim Bloom says no? 23:29

10d ago23:29

23:29

Other than Bill DeWitt Jr., Bill DeWitt III, John Mozeliak -- and perhaps others in the Cardinals' leadership circle -- know one knows if the Cardinals are planning to offer, or have offered, their top baseball job to Chaim Bloom. And hypothetically speaking, what happens if Bloom politely declines the offer? What if he joined the Cardinals as a sp…

Bernie Show: Lower Your Expectations 30:54

11d ago30:54

30:54

Assuming that Chaim Bloom will take over the baseball department after this season to get started on a crucial overhaul of every competitive aspect of the St. Louis Cardinals, the project will require time and patience. (And if the Cardinals don't make Bloom the head of baseball operations when this season is completed, they will have wasted his ti…

Bernie Show: Pallante knew. The Cardinals didn't. 21:42

12d ago21:42

21:42

Andre Pallante has done a very good job as a starting pitcher since the Cardinals put him in their rotation on May 29. Pallante has the team's best starting-pitching ERA this season, and since May 29 he's the only St. Louis starting pitcher with an earned-run average less than 4.31. But here's what amazes me: It was Pallante, and not the Cardinals,…

Bernie Show: Cardinals take too many dumb at-bats 19:31

13d ago19:31

19:31

The Cardinals went a ghastly 2 for 27 with runners in scoring over the weekend in Toronto, scoring only seven runs in three games while getting swept by the Blue Jays. This team's failure with runners in scoring position has been a chronic problem all season, and no one seems to know how to make it better. And now, of course, it's too late to matte…

Bernie Show: Good win for Mizzou! 16:43

13d ago16:43

16:43

I firmly believed Missouri would be in for a tough battle when Boston College came into Faurot Field. The final betting line in the game had Mizzou favored by 14 and 1/2 points, which was too much. As I said in my Friday "Bernie Bits" video here, Missouri would win the game, but Boston College would cover the point spread. And that's exactly what h…

Bernie Show: DeWitt doesn't have to sell 28:45

16d ago28:45

28:45

In today's video, I offer my opinion on the "Sell the team DeWitt!" cries that have gotten louder and more intensified. I understand why St. Louis Cardinals fans are disappointed, disgusted, disillusioned. I understand why the great baseball fans have lost faith in DeWitt and are clamoring leadership. But Bill DeWitt Jr. doesn't have to SELL the fr…

Bernie Show: Is Mizzou Overrated? 18:28

16d ago18:28

18:28

Missouri football will get its first test of the season on Saturday in CoMo against a surprising Boston College team that's No. 24 in this week's Top 25 AP ranking. BC stunned college football fans and investors by winning big on the road at Florida State. At the time I write this, Missouri is a 16.5-point favorite over the Eagles. That's a big spr…

Bernie Show: New Manager? Who? 37:01

17d ago37:01

37:01

Oli Marmol is the manager of the Cardinals and is under contract through the end of the 2026 season. As I mention near the start of today's video, it may be considered unfair or inappropriate to discuss potential replacements for a manager who hasn't been fired ... and may not be fired. But this subject has been on my mind, and I think about it a l…

Bernie Show: Greatest Show On Turf 35:28

17d ago35:28

35:28

2024 marks the 25th anniversary of the 1999 St. Louis Rams and their shocking runaway sprint to a Super Bowl championship. They went 4-12 the season before and had an offense that was as dull as any we've seen. No stars, limited talent, an embattled coach in Dick Vermeil ... and then, one year later, there's a Super Bowl parade down Market Street i…

Bernie Show: No Hope for Cards Offense 34:15

18d ago34:15

34:15

In today's video I discuss the awful season offensively for the St. Louis Cardinals. But it isn't just about 2024. Unless something changes quickly and dramatically to upgrade the hitting-talent roster for 2025, there's no reason to to have optimism for 2025. STL's older hitters will be older, we can't count on young hitters Jordan Walker and Nolan…

Bernie Show: It's Over. Play the Young Dudes 21:14

19d ago21:14

21:14

As the St. Louis Cardinals go into three-game home series against the Reds, they are 6 and 1/2 games out of the 3rd wild-card spot and must pass three teams ahead of them in the standings. There are only 19 games left on the STL schedule. The Cardinals have a 0.6% chance of making the postseason. This season is over. So why is Luken Baker sitting o…

Bernie Show: Dump Miles Mikolas 23:22

19d ago23:22

23:22

Miles Mikolas has ranked among the worst starting pitchers in the majors for the last two seasons in ERA, strikeout rate, swing-miss rate. The contact rate against him is enormous. He doesn't miss many bats. And at 36 years old, Mikolas will be even more vulnerable (read: bad) in 2025. Mikolas is under contract for 2025 at a salary over $17 million…

This is a "Bernie Bits" style video, an offshoot of the popular Bits column I did for 25 years at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In this vid, I discuss the following topics: * Investment advice for the Ravens at Chiefs game. A few glaring trends caught my eye. * My menu at home for the first game of the season, as a nod to Baltimore and Kansas City. …

Bernie Show: Defending Oli Marmol 32:53

24d ago32:53

32:53

Oli Marmol takes a lot of heat, which is understandable considering that he's viewed as "John Mozeliak's guy." And if you are burned out on Mozeliak, then you probably are tired of his manager as well. But based on actual job performance, Marmol has done many things right this season. (All managers make mistakes. Hardly breaking news when Marmol do…

Bernie Show: Here Comes Goldy! 22:06

25d ago22:06

22:06

Paul Goldschmidt turns 37 years old on Sept. 10 and has already said he plans to play again in 2025. His St. Louis contract expires after this season. During the first three months of the season, it looked like Goldy was succumbing to a severe aging curve. At that point, it was easy to just write him off and declare that it was time for the Cardina…

Bernie Show: The Cardinals? Not smart. 18:02

26d ago18:02

18:02

The Milwaukee Brewers are running away with the NL Central and have the third-best record in the majors despite operating with a limited payroll as a team in the smallest market in MLB. The Cardinals are outspending Milwaukee by $60 million this season, so why are the Brewers so much better? Lots of reasons. But today, I want to focus on this: the …

Bernie Show: Can Chiefs Three-Peat? 19:02

26d ago19:02

19:02

The 2024 Kansas City Chiefs are pursuing a third consecutive Super Bowl championship -- something that's never been done since the Super Bowl came into being for the 1966 season. In Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs have perhaps the best coach/quarterback tandem in modern NFL history. Regular season and postseason combined, the Mahomes-Reid…

Bernie Show: Don't Rip Cardinals Fans 15:23

1M ago15:23

15:23

There's been some criticism of the no-shows at Busch Stadium. It's nonsense. It's unfair. It's ridiculous. As the DeWitts have said, the Cardinals couldn't have gone on a long run of high-level sustained success without the generous, consistent financial support of the franchise. The DeWitts depicted this as a partnership: if the fans do their part…

1M ago15:33

15:33

I'm excited about the start of the 2024 college football season, and Mizzou gets underway tonight (8--29) with a home game vs. Murray State. The expectations are huge for The Tigers after their 11-win campaign in 2023. And now with the playoff expanded to 12 teams, Mizzou has a good chance to be among the dozen teams that can compete for a national…

Bernie Show: Mo Won't Go? Oh No! 15:23

1M ago15:23

15:23

Via Derrick Goold, the outstanding baseball writer at STLToday, it appears that Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak will fulfill the final year of his contract in 2025 -- and that ownership will "welcome him" to return and finish that contract. This could be a huge fan-relations blunder for the Cardinals. Mozeliak has been runn…

Bernie Show: DeWitt Killed the Golden Goose 15:27

1M ago15:27

15:27

When Bill DeWitt Jr. purchased the St. Louis Cardinals before the 1996 season, the franchise was in decline. Diminishing crowds, a shortage of stars, mediocre results, and no postseason appearances since 1987. It was a bad time, but DeWitt aggressively revived the franchise and led the Cardinals to a long and distinguished run of success loaded wit…

Bernie Show: Shildt Gets Last Laugh 15:28

15:28

Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak abruptly fired manager Mike Shildt soon after the 2021 season. The two had an ongoing dispute about the direction of the team. Shildt pushed too hard, and Mozeliak sacked him. And now here comes Shildt, back in St. Louis with his San Diego Padres for a four-game series with the Cardinals. The…

Bernie Show: Cardinals have a "scary" future 15:26

1M ago15:26

15:26

The St. Louis are struggling to fully develop young hitting prospects and do everything that's necessary to help them maximize their full potential. Too many young batsmen have stalled, the latest being Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman. Lars Nootbaar hasn't developed into the player the Cardinals thought he would be; "Noot" has taken a step back. And…

Bernie Show: Why Cardinals fans are staying away 15:22

Record-low crowds at Busch Stadium for home games in a season that wasn't impacted by the Covid pandemic. The new Busch Stadium has been open since 2006, and it is stunning to see so many empty seats. But is it really stunning? No, it shouldn't be. From ownership on down, the St. Louis Cardinals have lost the trust, the respect and the support of a…

1M ago10:24

10:24

Dylan Carlson, Jordan Walker, Nolan Gorman, on and on it goes. The St. Louis Cardinals actually did the smart thing and the right thing by sending Gorman down to Triple A Memphis on Wednesday. But they waited too long -- much too long -- before intervening. Gorman's hitting only got worse over time, and he fell deeper into an extreme slump that las…

15:03

The St. Louis Cardinals are messing with Jordan Walker in a way that could lead to yet another failure of a young and talented hitter who is so vital to the present and future. The mishandling of Walker is incomprehensibly bad, and the Cardinals are losing more credibility by the hour. (And there wasn't much left.) Also, late in the video: why the …

14:49

The Milwaukee Brewers are in town, leading the fading Cardinals by 11 games in the NL Central. Nothing new. Despite being at a tremendous disadvantage in revenue and payroll, the small-market Brewers continue to dominate DeWitt's wealthier franchise. Why does Mr. DeWitt put up with this? Why has he tolerated so many front-office mistakes in spendin…

Bernie Miklasz Show: Cardinals Failing To Develop All-Star Hitting Talent 15:12

We already knew that the Cardinals have struggled to draft and develop premium starting pitching, which explains why they have cobble a rotation together. But the bottom-line results are just as bad in the organization's failure to draft and develop All-Star caliber talent offensively -- with too many young and talented hitters sputtering and not l…

The St. Louis Cardinals are falling apart. In today's Bernie Miklasz Show, I bring an assessment of the Cardinals as they stand right now. It's a rather bleak picture. Offense, quiet. Starting pitching, getting worse. Bullpen, not as stout. Upcoming schedule, pitiless. I'm not trying to kill anyone's optimism -- but the current reality is harsh.…
