Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch discuss all things cardinal baseball and beyond.
Episodes
Bernie MIklasz and Will Leitch start our show with a look back at the career of Walt Jocketty, the former Cardinals general manager who died last week. Jocketty is in many ways the orchestrator of the Cardinals success over a 30 year stretch, and he's indicative of what the Cardinals have lost. They also discuss Carlos Marmol's bullpen usage and what should be reasonably expected from this team.
Also, don't forget our book event fo...
The Cardinals looked very solid in series wins over the Phillies and Astros, but boy, did it go sideways on them in Flushing. The Mets swept a four-game series over the weekend, and Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch run down what went wrong and how frustrated Cardinals fans should be. We also debate Thomas Saggese vs. Michael Siani and how Oliver Marmol is handling this team.
Also, don't forget our book event for Will's next novel at ...
The Cardinals had a bad series in Pittsburgh (but beat Paul Skenes) and then had a great one against the Phillies. And Pedro Pages played second base. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch run down the Cardinals hitters, debate the switch to a six-man rotation and announce a book event for Will's next novel at Left Bank Books on June 26. Fun!

The Cardinals have gone 1-5 since we left you, which is worrisome because they haven't stopped hitting. But boy, that pitching. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch praise hitting coach Brant Brown and even manager Oli Marmol, but wow, they have plenty to say about Miles Mikolas. Yikes.

Hey, hey, the Cardinals are 3-0! Look at that! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch talk about the Cardinals' darned-near-perfect start to the season, what worked against the Twins, and how Lars Nootbaar is very much at the center of all of it. They also answer a dad's question about which jersey he should buy for his kid, which is a catnip question for Will. Fun times! Baseball can be fun! Who knew?

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...
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.

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 fres...
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 youn...
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...
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.

We've got only two weeks left in the season. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch ask the big question: How much CAN the Cardinals change in the offseason? On the field? Not a lot, we argue. But off the field? That's the big one.

Now that this season is (essentially) over, Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch ask what happens next, and if it will require a housecleaning to get the fans back. The answer is ... probably yes.

The Cardinals had a 4-2 week but lost Willson Contreras again, which bodes very poorly for the next month. What happens if the Cardinals bottom out? Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch also contrast the Cardinals and the Padres, and discuss if Mike Shildt is better off having left St. Louis entirely.

Egads, it got really bad. The Cardinals are in big trouble, and Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch try to figure what, if anything, can be done. They also go long on fanbase psychology, and what it means to be a Cardinals fan right now.
