Redbird Review: the enigmatic Mets gave the #STLCards a chance to snatch the NL’s No. 3 wild-card ticket. Missed opportunity? For kicks, let’s play the “What If” game. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/09/23/b...

Bernie Show: The #STLCards have a true "dude" in Ivan Herrera, age 25. And his elite bat is an essential piece in the team's rebuilding and future. I have a great stat in here that shows where Herrera rates among MLB hitters since late last season. youtu.be/5rwdRxZVrBE?...

Redbird Review: with 6 games remaining in the #STLCards season, one last check-in on the "Project Runway" audition of 2025. What have we discovered? I take a look. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/09/22/b...

Bernie Show: People won't like the "R" word (rebuild) so #STLCards attendance will likely fall again in 2026. But a rebuild makes sense, fans will eventually see the light, and the franchise will come through it in better shape. This is the first Cards rebuild in 30 years. youtu.be/hZIOPs2d574?...

Redbird Review for Friday: Maybe because I recognize that #STLCards baseball existed before, say, 2023. I put together a list of John Mozeliak's best transactions since 2008. Oh, sorry. I forgot that he's never made a good trade or signing. My bad. 😀 www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/09/19/b...

Recent frustration and criticism aside, there comes a time to salute someone who played such a prominent role in a prosperous era of #STLCards history. That man is John Mozeliak. He deserves your cheers Sunday before his final home game. Please show some class. youtu.be/90j-CjFbWgw?...

My new Redbird Review, looking at Willson Contreras, his 3-year performance as a #STLCards regular, the false-premise criticisms of him, and his future with the Redbirds. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/09/18/b...

It's great to see national college-football media wake up to #Mizzou football after the Tigers were snubbed in preseason Top 25 polling. Finally. But why? MU has one of the very best records in the nation since the start of 2023. youtu.be/nE3Jx4m83JM?...

Bernie Show: some #STLCards fans won't want to hear it, but John Mozeliak has actually put Chaim Bloom in better position to formally begin a rebuild -- the farm system has improved, and more young talent is on the way. youtu.be/1ysOrplYCyY?...

The Redbird Review: an appreciation of #STLCards shortstop Masyn Winn … www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/09/16/b...

Bernie Show for Tuesday: The #STLCards largely wasted their 2025 "runway" season because they pursued contradictory goals, did not think in bold terms, and did not choose a strong direction. (Yes, again!) youtu.be/WxWTGPdgC8s?...

My Redbird Review: 5 deep questions on #STLCards baseball as one season winds down, and the planning for 2026 soon will begin. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/09/15/b...

Bernie Show for Monday: The #STLCards must resolve their Nolan Arenado problem before 2026, even if it means digesting the full weight of his contract to free him to shop for a new team. youtu.be/aCsJn77TD4A?...

Today’s Redbird Review is a serving of Bird Bytes with notes, facts, updates, observations and a ghost story. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/09/12/b...

Bernie Show: How the Brewers have owned the #STLCards and the NL Central since 2018 despite their low payroll -- and what the Cards must do to catch up under the smart leadership of Chaim Bloom. youtu.be/HhSjYCg9ON8?...

My Redbird Review for Thursday is a look at the role the runway-season hitters have played in the demise of the #STLCards offense. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/09/11/b...

Today's Bernie Show: The #STLCards have the worst offense in MLB since the All-Star break, and it's turned horrendous. Probably as dull as could be. Chaim Bloom has to make some offseason moves to make it better for 2026. youtu.be/vBl28yWsJVw?...

In today’s Redbird Review, I evaluate individual #STLCards starting pitchers: performance, outlook, historical comps and how they fit (or not) in the future. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/09/10/b...

Bernie Show: Oh, what could have been. The #STLCards had a chance to be a wild-card team this season just by doing a little more to improve their roster in their Project Runway audition season. youtu.be/y9c_y4Prv48?...

The "Seeing Red" podcast on the #STLCards that I do with @williamfleitch is available (this week) via video on STL Sports Central. In this episode we talked about Jordan Walker. Plus: what do Cards fans want to see going forward? youtu.be/1eEe7-yPESU?...

#Mizzou Review: Don't worry about Beau Pribula's accuracy. I have access to data that gives me a complete look at his accuracy in Saturday's 42-31 win over Kansas. There's a long way to go, yes. Better defenses ahead, yes. But Beau knows how to spin it. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/09/09/b...

Bernie Show: Proving It Or Losing It? An update on the #STLCards "Project Runway" for their young players in 2025. youtu.be/M6Qbmgg5ZEc?...

My Redbird Review for Monday: on how the #STLCards have gotten back to .500, how they're overcoming a negative run differential for the 2nd straight season, and why their record is better than it should be. Hint: bullpen management. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/09/08/b...

"Bernie Show" for Monday. The #STLCards are rebuilding, which makes sense. But that doesn't mean we're in for a dull offseason or terrible baseball in 2026. Put some faith in Chaim Bloom and his Tampa Bay background. I have details and perspective. youtu.be/YhdxMvpismU?...

Bernie Show: It's a sentimental weekend at Busch Stadium with the #STLCards celebrating the '85 team, the "Whiteyball" style, the new Hall of Famers including the great Walt Jocketty, and Yadier Molina as guest coach. Enjoy. It's OK to smile. youtu.be/V_qKv8kTQWs?...

Bernie Show: The Border War is back -- YES! -- and the absence only made the Mizzou-Kansas rivalry even more special. #MIZZ Also: who will win Saturday's game? youtu.be/B3sy1yx7hNY?...

Today's Redbird Review: an examination of Jordan Walker's decline, and probing the #STLCards past decisions that may have been a factor in Walker's career setbacks. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/09/04/b...

Bernie Show: #STLCardinals publicly challenge Jordan Walker by criticizing his lack of commitment in preparation. Not a good look for the third-year outfielder. Do they have his attention now? How will this story end? youtu.be/ZBJ0AmGMqq8?...

My Redbird Review: why is Jordan Walker doing so poorly? I asked #STLCards manager Oli Marmol and batting coach Brant Brown and they didn’t dodge the question. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/09/02/b...

Bernie Show: in wake of an 11-3 loss to the A's. If this is what rebuilding looks like for the #STLCards it's going to be a difficult buy-in for the fan base. youtu.be/6SLY4UodS2g?...

My Redbird Review: a look at Friday’s roster moves and a closer look the #STLCards top 3 catching prospects. And did you know that a catcher is (by far) the team’s best hitter in August? Pedro Pages! www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/08/29/b...

Bernie Show! My apologies for not posting earlier. (I've been extra busy and I forgot.) In this vid I discussed the #STLCards inherent flaws and what must (and will) change as Chaim Bloom and his smart team of assistants move deeper into an overdue rebuilding mission. youtu.be/eZVLW2l5Krs?...

In today's Bernie Show, I offer a positive outlook on the #Mizzou Tigers football team for 2025. I explain the factors that I believe will have the most impact. youtu.be/3EgTbWWbqPU?...

In my new Redbird Review I explain why the #STLCards current starting rotation is among the weakest in franchise history - and it’s because of a unique reason. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/08/27/b...

My "Bernie Show" video for Wednesday: the #STLCards have an attendance problem in 2025. but it isn't quite as bad as it seems. The franchise has been through this before, and STL fans will return when there's a reason to do so. The rebuild will test the patience. youtu.be/Neci_MWQ3M8?...

Redbird Review: The #STLCards revamped farm system is receiving national praise. Plus: Bird Bytes, with salt. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/08/26/b...

Bernie Show: I respect #STLCards first baseman Willson Contreras for his hard edge and intensity, and I don't understand his haters, but he recklessly lost control during Monday Night Mayhem. youtu.be/3w6rVC4o_b0?...

My Redbird Review for Monday: I'm not sure what to make of these five #STLCards players as the 2025 season winds down. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/08/25/r...

Bernie Show for Monday: Will #STLCards have patience during Chaim Bloom's methodical rebuild of a franchise that ranks No. 22 among the 30 MLB teams in winning percentage (.479) since the start of the 2023 season? youtu.be/yfQMhOF3FCU?...

My Redbird Review: I take a look at the 5 most disappointing #STLCards (so far) in 2025. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/08/22/b...

Bernie Show video on the horrendous offense the #STLCards have received from their outfield set over the last 3 seasons, especially in 2024-2025. Chaim Bloom has to find a way to get that done, because the problem is really bad. youtu.be/ICq8ysOZ6Ks?...

With a few weeks to go in the #STLCards remaining regular-season schedule here are five things on my watch list. www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/08/21/b...

New Bernie Show video: the No. 1 priority for incoming #STLCards president of baseball ops Chaim Bloom when he begins the planning for 2026. youtu.be/DtV3jVmqlSQ?...

Redbird Review: JJ Wetherholt adjusting, hitting for more power #STLCards www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/08/20/b...

Since the start of last season the #STLCards should have a .474 winning percentage based on their negative run differential. But their actual winning percentage over that time (.505) is 31 points higher. This reflects well on Oli Marmol, the coaches and the players. youtu.be/I8RI9ZyCRVk?...

Today’s Redbird Review on #STLCards and Ivan Herrera’s quiet bat, Nolan Gorman’s surge + Marmol, Pujols and Molina - and other notes. Thanks! www.stlsportscentral.com/2025/08/19/b...

Bernie Show: The #STLCards and their fans keep waiting for Jordan Walker to have sustained success, but improvement remains elusive. Is he an offseason trade candidate? youtu.be/DSif4cWHtDs?...
