  The Joshua Baez Reality Check...

  Aug 19, 202633 min

  Joshua Baez made history at Wrigley Field, then went 0 for 18. Bernie Miklasz says the panic is misplaced, and the Statcast data explains exactly why. On this episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie breaks down what the St. Louis Cardinals rookie is actually doing at the plate versus what the box score suggests. He digs into Baez's 2026 Triple-A profile at Memphis, the chase and contact issues that delayed his promotion, why Chaim Bloom made the call when he did, and the exit velocity and hard-hit numbers that point to better days ahead. Then Bernie goes deep into baseball history, because almost every great hitter you can name started out looking overmatched.

  Joshua Baez Shocked Baseball at Wrigley, But Bernie Is Watching Something Else...

  Aug 17, 202627 min

  Joshua Baez did something no player in Major League Baseball history had ever done, and 24 hours later he struck out three times and went hitless. Bernie Miklasz says the second game may end up mattering just as much as the first. On this Monday edition of The Bernie Show, Bernie breaks down the most stunning debut in baseball history and then makes the case that Baez's quiet Sunday was quietly useful. He walks through why the Cardinals were right to keep Baez at Triple-A Memphis longer than fans wanted, what the swing adjustments actually fixed, and why he now believes he was wrong to push for an earlier call up. He also explains what Baez's arrival does for Jordan Walker, why this lineup suddenly looks deeper, and why the Jimmy Crooks reaction should be a warning to everyone about how fast a fan base can turn on a young hitter.

  Bernie Admits He Was Wrong About Joshua Baez

  Aug 14, 202628 min

  Bernie Miklasz spent this season pounding the table for the Cardinals to call up Joshua Báez, and in this video he says out loud that he was wrong. What changed his mind was a three-week collapse in Memphis that almost nobody outside the organization was tracking. Báez did not make the trip to Wrigley Field, and the frustration from Cardinals fans has gotten loud enough that some are threatening to stop buying tickets until he is promoted. Bernie walks through why the rookie eligibility clock is no longer a reason to wait, what Chaim Bloom's player development group has been quietly rebuilding in Báez's swing since July, and the one vulnerability Triple-A pitchers are still exploiting that would get exposed immediately at the major league level. He also lays out the realistic promotion windows, including the six-game homestand that begins August 25.

  Blue Caps Are Back, and Bernie Sees a Bigger Shift in St. Louis

  Aug 12, 202634 min

  The Cardinals gave their fans exactly what they asked for this week, and Bernie Miklasz thinks the reason behind it matters more than the hat does. Then he gets to the one thing he cannot stop worrying about, and it has nothing to do with 2026. Bernie breaks down the return of the navy blue road caps, why 23 years of contention gave way to a normal baseball cycle, and what Covid permanently changed about attendance in this region. He then makes his case for the rebuild under Chaim Bloom, argues the starting pitching has been the most underrated part of the season, and explains why the smallest active payroll in the majors is the right call right now. He is also blunt about what is not coming: no firings, no sale, no payroll spike. He closes on Hall of Fame weekend in September, and on the 2027 labor fight that genuinely worries him.

  Somebody PLEASE Stop The Fight: Bernie On Matthew Liberatore

  Aug 10, 202625 min

  Bernie Miklasz has been covering the Cardinals for a long time, and he says he has rarely seen a team stand by a struggling starting pitcher this long. On this episode he makes the case, inning by inning and number by number, that Matthew Liberatore needs to be pulled from the major league rotation before something worse than his ERA gets damaged. Bernie walks through Saturday's avoidable 8 to 6 loss to the Colorado Rockies at Busch Stadium, the mental lapse that gave Colorado a free base hit, and the deeper statistical picture that he believes leaves the Cardinals no defensible reason to keep running Liberatore out every fifth day. He also explains why Quinn Mathews belongs in the St. Louis rotation right now, why Brycen Mautz gives the organization depth it is not using, and why blaming pitching coach Dusty Blake is the lazy answer.
