Seeing Red Episode 157: The Cardinals Bottom Out in Phoenix

The Cardinals are about to have a VERY active offseason. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch go through the whole roster to figure out who's going to stay, who's going to go, and what they think the Cardinals SHOULD do. It's a fun show, with just two weeks left in the season.  Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

OK, look, we got a full episode again, it's amazing what you can do through basic Zoom. We also did it on video, which was almost kind of weird! Anyway, Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch talk about Bernie's big Jordan Walker scoop from last week, and then they dig into, with your help, What Will Bring The Fans Back? What do fans expect? What do they need to see? This is what this episode's about. It's a good one, we think! Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

So we're still having some issues with the Cast podcast app, which is why this show is (once again) shorter, though it is longer than last week. We'll just do Zoom moving forward--annoying. Anyway, Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch get into all sorts of good stuff, but we missed a whole fun Story Hour With Bernie in which we heard about him watching the Ozzie "Go Crazy Folks" homer with Bill Bidwill. Argh. Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

WE ARE SORRY: CAST ATE THE FINAL 40 MINUTES OF OUR PODCAST TODAY. Here are the first six minutes. Very frustrating. Below is what it WOULD have been about. CAST is the equivalent of Cardinals baseball right now. Anyway, have a great Labor Day.   As the wheels start to come off the 2025 Cardinals, Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch take a look at the two most compelling figures, moving forward, on the team: Nolan Gorman and Jordan Walker. Have they made progress? How can you count on them moving forward? We dig into the futures of each player, and the Cardinals themselves, and how they're tied together. We also talk a little college football. Have a great Labor Day!  Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

A miserable week--seriously, what a lousy homestand--was exacerbated by some very, very small crowds at Busch, which was noticed by a national media paying attention to the Yankees. We discuss that, an interview with the Cards' head of ticket sales and try to place blame where it's warranted. We also have a fun discussion of everyone's picks for their least favorite Cardinals ever. Fiery show! Music as always by the great The Sundogs.  

After a successful week--wait, are the Cardinals really only 3 1/2 games out of the Wild Card--and a weekend that featured Yadier Molina in the dugout (and a lot of Cardinals fans wishing he'd stay there), Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch dig into The Oliver Marmol Question. What kind of a manager is he? Why are fans so skeptical of him? Can he survive into next year, or even the year after? Does what he represent shadow who he actually is? It's a lively discussion! Also: We want to hear your least favorite Cardinals ever: [email protected] Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

The Cardinals didn't do THAT much at the deadline, but maybe that's for the best. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch discuss what comes next, whether Chaim Bloom is NOW fully in charge ... and what we should expect from the ownership group moving forward. Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

The Cardinals needed a perfect week to convince themselves they could be buyers at the deadline: That, uh, did not happen. So it's clear what the Cardinals have to do. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch preview John Mozeliak's final deadline running the Cardinals, and who might go ... and what it might mean. We'll be back next Monday to wrap it all up. Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

The Cardinals came out of the All-Star Break and face-planted in Phoenix, getting drilled in three uncompetitive games. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch think this seals the deal on this season and are primed for what might be some pretty big changes. We discuss! Also, Leitch and his son will be at Busch this weekend: If you see them, say hi. Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

The Cardinals sort of stumbled into the All-Star Break, but they're still only a game-and-a-half out of the Wild Card. What should we think about this team at the break? Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch try to make some sense of it. Music as always by the great The Sundogs.
