Bernie Show: If Nolan Arenado plays for the #STLCards in 2026, manager Oli Marmol will have to change the way he uses Arenado. And that means saying "No." Can't play when injured. Can't play when failing to hit. youtu.be/amVsA7vfZkg?...

Bernie Show: There are reasons why Chaim Bloom #STLCards didn't make a trade during MLB's overly hyped Winter Meetings. Plenty of offseason left. And Bloom must maximize value if he trades Brendan Donovan. Make a quick trade? No, I'll take a great trade instead. youtu.be/u552kQ-E4Vw?...

Bernie Show: At some point, as Chaim Bloom's rebuild shows strong progress, #STLCards ownership must step up with a substantial payroll increase to help Bloom get the team to a higher level. But now is not the time for that. youtu.be/ER7anojb0UQ?...

Today's Bernie Show: Why the #STLCards are staying with Oli Marmol as their manager even if it isn't the most popular thing to do. youtu.be/QdntHqATivI?...

Bernie Show for Monday: Notre Dame's exclusion from the CFP has set off the Whining Irish, and they do have a reason to complain. But they're missing the real reason why it happened. youtu.be/i979QQkITXg?...

Bonus Bernie column written earlier Friday: my picks for this weekend's college football conference championship games. Have a great weekend! www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/12/05/b...

Bernie Show: Considering their greatness over a long stretch of time, the #STLCards collapse is stunning. The revenue has dropped so much, they'll be getting a revenue-sharing handout from MLB for for the 1st time. (hat tip @dgoold.bsky.social ) Yes, it's come to this. youtu.be/YnkA8o0gIhA?...

Bernie Show: There's a case to be made for the #STLCards to keep the fantastic Brendan Donovan -- but with an obvious and extensive rebuild underway, there's a much stronger case for trading him. And I say that as a Donny fan. youtu.be/kzEM5v4nr_s?...

New Bernie Show: What are the chances of the #STLCards trading Willson Contreras this offseason? A report from Katie Woo (The Athletic) casts new light. So here's my breakdown of an intriguing possibility. youtu.be/XmZsfOOnWD0?...

My "free" Redbird Review column of the week: Chaim Bloom has made many hires and gotten a lot done as the new #STLCards president of baseball operations. Please sign up for "Insider" membership at STL Sports Central to access all of my columns. Thank you. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/12/01/b...

New Bernie Show: Congrats to Eli Drinkwitz for his new contract extension. And in the aftermath the level of expectations and pressure goes up. Can he turn his good #Mizzou program into a great one? Can he win more games against ranked teams? Can he find an elite QB? youtu.be/-WQA7J4mQso?...

Bernie Show: A look at the #STLCards trade from all angles, including Chaim Bloom's decisiveness and how that contrasts with a lot of what we saw from John Mozeliak. The Rebuild is underway, and Bloom starts it by collecting more young pitching. youtu.be/DRwPuQibIUE?...

Can former #STLCards closer become a successful starting pitcher? He was a strong starter in the STL farm system. There are many questions including: would the Cardinals and Helsey be interested in a reunion. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/11/24/b...

Bernie Show: is #Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz overrated? Are teams reportedly interested in hiring him aware of the holes in his resume, including the worst passing offense in the SEC this season? Just wondering. youtu.be/brU2kqof8_8?...

Bernie Show: I selected the top 10 (actually 11) most valuable #STLCards trade chips in Chaim Bloom's 1st offseason as the new president of baseball ops. youtu.be/DUcsy7t1SG0?...

Bernie Show: Can Chaim Bloom’s new regime save Jordan Walker -- the worst position player in MLB over the last two seasons -- and give the #STLCards the impact hitter they've dreamed of? youtu.be/M2mv9FVUQlc?...

The Bernie Show: It's time for true-son Missouri alum Enos Stanley Kroenke to step forward financially and make the #Mizzou football program his sixth sports franchise. youtu.be/KSViySzhhd8?...

Bernie Show: on Lane Kiffin, (perhaps) Eli Drinkwitz and the current CFB system that allows teams to tamper with coaches under contract to other teams DURING the season. Insane. Contracts shouldn't be non-binding. What's tge point of having them? This is nuts. youtu.be/d4ZJXtluwyg?...

My Redbird Review: How a shortage of power doomed the 2025 #STLCards offense, and the trend goes back to 2023 -- and why adding power is such an important objective for POBO Chaim Bloom. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/11/17/b...

Bernie Show: The #stlblues and the #STLCards have a lot in common. (Losing.) But there are also differences -- like the perception that one is committed to winning and the other is not. If the Blues blow up the roster, who is in charge of the dynamite? The same people? youtu.be/fx8cYCQvOZY?...

My #Mizzou column: the Tigers must dig in, have some pride and purpose and make the best of what's left of the 2025 season. Also: the case of the disappearing Missouri wide receivers in '25 -- including some distressing numbers. Have a nice weekend! www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/11/14/b...

Bernie Show: Chaim Bloom is under pressure in his first offseason as #STLCards POBO. The work on the player development side has been terrific, but this is our first chance to see what Bloom does with the big-league roster. youtu.be/0cYEo4bXM3g?...

Can rising prospect Joshua Baez end the #STLCards right-handed hitting power drought? Read about it in today’s Redbird Review. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/11/13/b...

In today's Bernie Show I pose a question: Should the #STLCards consider trading Ivan Herrera? In this vid I look at "For" or "Against" cases and and explain why I feel strongly about one of those options. youtu.be/8GsQrl_F8S4?...

My Redbird Review: now that his career has taken off and reached a higher performance level, should the #STLCards give serious consideration to trading Alec Burleson? www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/11/12/b...

Bernie Show: It makes sense for the #STLCards to trade starting pitcher Sonny Gray. That's my opinion -- but if you're looking for a reason to stay the course, there is some benefit to keeping Gray in 2026. youtu.be/Kt7RsPKrYRs?...

Can Kyle Leahy win a spot in the 2026 #STLCards rotation? I think he can. And it isn’t because the Cardinals are bad. It’s because Leahy is good. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/11/11/b...

Why are St. Louis media starting conversations about bringing Miles Mikolas back in 2026? Is it boredom? A content shortage? Or have we gone mad? Or is this a conspiracy to drive me cuckoo? #STLCards youtu.be/rGE_uYFiIDQ?...

Redbird Review: Taking a look at why Albert Pujols hasn't landed a big-league managing job, though he could have had the Angels' job if he wanted it. And do great players make good managers? It's happened more times than you would assume. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/11/10/b...

Bernie Show: Mizzou's momentum has stalled under coach Eli Drinkwitz. He's done a fantastic job overall but can't break through to beat elite SEC teams. Also: what a terrible passing-game plan for freshman QB Matt Zollers in the 38-17 loss to Texas A&M. youtu.be/e6vMuF8PDxA?...

My #Mizzou Preview: A season on the brink and a chance for the Tigers to change the doom-gloom script by knocking off No. 3 Texas A&M. Can't wait for this one! www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/11/07/b...

New Bernie Show video on #STLCards - have we underrated Alec Burleson? Well, I know I have. But not anymore. I explain why that's changed. youtu.be/sZlZOkYmYJc?...

Redbird Review: Chaim Bloom’s No. 1 priority for the #STLCards offseason. Pitching. And more pitching. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/11/06/b...

Bernie Show: After another poor performance and his bizarre reaction to Ovechkin's 900th career goal, I must ask the question: Is Jordan Binnington cracking? #stlblues youtu.be/yViUBAN2c-k?...

Redbird Review: #STLCards shortstop Masyn Winn may not be a Statcast Superstar, but he will improve offensively. Just give it some time. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/11/05/b...

Bernie Show: As Chaim Bloom begins his 1st offseason as the #STLCards president of baseball ops, here's a Must-Do List between now and spring training to get the rebuild off to a good start. youtu.be/SVtsjzrLt1Q?...

Bernie Show: no, there are no similarities that matter between the 2025 Blue Jays and what the #STLCards are planning for 2026. Stop with the ridiculous narratives. Good grief. youtu.be/7I5aKjaPpBM?...

My primary takeaway from a great World Series: The Dodgers used an NBA-style approach to "load management" (pardon the expression) to keep their starting pitchers strong through the end of Game 7. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/11/03/b...

Bernie Show: Not only did #STLCards shortstop Masyn Winn deserve the Gold Glove, but his 2025 season was one of the best defensive seasons by a shortstop in MLB history. And what makes this even more impressive: Winn did this at a really young age. youtu.be/uIHhY0IFtW4?...

Bernie Show: a preview of the #STLCards offseason with big roster changes coming under new president of baseball ops Chaim Bloom. youtu.be/-0q-FtT4BG8?...

Column: No, the Dodgers aren’t ruining baseball. But with one more loss to Toronto the Dodgers will ruin their 2025 season. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/10/30/b...

Bernie Show for Thursday: The #STLCards have declined to hire Yadier Molina as a coach in 2026, a decision that I fully expected. The reasons may be unpopular but make sense. youtu.be/0buAsfM44fo?...

My Mizzou Review column: as the coaching carousel spins crazily, what's being said about #mizzoutigers coach Eli Drinkwitz? And does his lousy record against ranked teams lower his percentage of landing one of the big jobs? www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/10/29/b...

The disappointing #stlblues unexpectedly have continued the trend of losing STL sports teams, following the down seasons by the #STLCards and #StLouisCityFC ... No excuses. The Blues have talent. Time to wake up. youtu.be/rjassQQGgIE?...

Column: the KC Chiefs are back and have that inevitable look again. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/10/28/b...

Bernie Show: The 2025 #STLCards outfield was the worst offensively in the NL (by far) and the worst offensively over the 30 seasons of DeWitt ownership. Brutally bad. Chaim Bloom must fix it. youtu.be/HcWflCumqV4?...

Hello Matt Zollers! #Mizzou lost a game but found their quarterback. The true freshman was the best QB on the field on Saturday at Vanderbilt. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/10/27/b...

New Bernie Show: The Lars Nootbaar Experience is frustrating, but the #STLCards should keep him for 2026 with the hope of regenerating his trade value. And he will have trade value. That's why you let this play out. youtu.be/tihDskBWarQ?...

Today's Bernie Show: here's the No. 1 reason why -- by far! -- the #stlblues are off to a dreadful 1-3-1 start at Enterprise Center this season. youtu.be/SjppffiEUEA?...

Bernie Show: Why STL's own, Tony Vitello, can awaken and energize the San Francisco Giants while making a direct leap from college to MLB. Kudos to Buster Posey for having the guts to make the move. youtu.be/B0fKPK6NlhE?...
