  Cardinals Want a Core? Then PAY Alec Burleson

  Oct 2, 202633 min

  Alec Burleson wants to stay in St. Louis, so what are the Cardinals waiting for? Bernie Miklasz explains why a contract extension would put real weight behind the team’s promise to build around its young core. On this episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie breaks down Burleson’s offense, improved first base defense, clubhouse leadership, and overlooked baserunning. He also examines how Busch Stadium affects Burleson’s production, why his struggles against left-handed pitching shouldn’t derail extension talks, and what a potential deal could look like.

  Was the Cardinals’ 2026 Season Really a Failure?

  Sep 28, 202630 min

  The Cardinals finished 77-85 and missed the MLB playoffs again, but does that record really tell the story of the 2026 season? Bernie Miklasz explains why he believes judging the St. Louis Cardinals rebuild strictly by wins and losses completely misses the bigger picture. Bernie breaks down the Cardinals’ dramatic second-half decline, the brutal Philadelphia series that helped send the season spiraling, Jordan Walker’s breakout production, JJ Wetherholt and the young core, and the rapid improvement of St. Louis’ farm system under Chaim Bloom. He also compares the Cardinals to other MLB rebuilding teams and examines preseason projections that expected St. Louis to win significantly fewer games. Presented by DraftKings Sports.

  Sep 25, 202638 min

  Cardinals fans have demanded a managerial change before. Bernie Miklasz thinks the history behind those calls raises an uncomfortable question about how Oli Marmol is being judged today. On this episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie connects the debate over Marmol to Joe Torre’s time in St. Louis, Tony La Russa’s early Cardinals seasons, and the expectations surrounding Chaim Bloom’s rebuild.

  Are the Cardinals Getting Too Much Credit Already?

  Sep 24, 202629 min

  The Cardinals are getting national praise, but how much have they actually proved? Bernie Miklasz examines the case for Chaim Bloom’s front office and the test that could determine whether this rebuild delivers. On this episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie breaks down the Baseball Prospectus front office ranking discussed in today’s show, the changes taking place throughout the St. Louis Cardinals organization, and why he believes fans should separate progress in player development from the challenge of building an October winner.
