Seeing Red 172: A Less Optimistic Discussion of the Offense

Whoa, actual news! This weekend, the Cardinals extended the contract of manager Oliver Marmol through the 2028 season. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch dig into the details and are generally in favor of the extension: All told, you should probably trust Chaim Bloom on this. They also discuss J.J. Wetherholt and preview the WBC, which will feature Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina as managers. Music as always by the great The Sundogs. [email protected]. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod

Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch were probably a little TOO optimistic last week, so we bring you down this week, discussing how the problem with this team may end up being the offense rather than the pitching. Will they be able to find a stud bat? Will THIS be the year for Jordan Walker or Nolan Gorman? Will Masyn Winn take a step forward? Lots of offensive questions for this team, yep.

Spring Training has arrived! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch welcome the 2026 Cardinals and dig into why they are legitimately excited to see what might be coming for the Cardinals, as well as praising JJ Wetherholt and learning how to pronounce "Jurrangelo Cijntje." We're now weekly for the rest of the season! Can't wait! We missed you! Music as always by the great The Sundogs. [email protected]  

The trade we've all been waiting for finally happened: The Cardinals traded Brendan Donovan. He'll be in Seattle, and the Cardinals got a pitcher who throws with both arms as well as a bunch of draft stuff. Bernie Miklasz was unable to be with us today, so Will Leitch solos, talking about what the trade means in the short and long term. Because there is no Bernie, this is, of course, the words episode of Seeing Red ever. But we still wanted to get it out to you. We'll be back weekly when Spring Training gets going (and Will gets back from the Super Bowl). Music as always by the great The Sundogs. [email protected]

Hey, hey, Bernie and Will are back! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch return for their first Seeing Red of 2026, and they've got a lot to discuss, starting with of course the Nolan Arenado trade. They dig into what Chaim Bloom may have brewing up next, including with Brendan Donovan, and what some of the projection systems say about the team in 2026. Our next show will be after the Super Bowl, but come Spring Training, we'll be back to weekly. We missed you! Music as always by the great The Sundogs. Sorry we didn't have our opening song on this one, we had some tech issues. It'll be back on the next show. We're rusty!

Hey, hey, Bernie and Will are back! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch return for their first Seeing Red since the end of the year, and they've got a lot to discuss, starting with of course the Sonny Gray trade. They dig into what Chaim Bloom may have brewing up next, as well as trying to figure out the catching situation and how long it may be until the Cardinals contend next. We missed you! We hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Music as always by the great The Sundogs. Sorry we didn't have our opening song on this one, we had some tech issues. It'll be back on the next show.

So the 2025 Cardinals season ended with a whimper. Goodbye, John Mozeliak, hello, Chaim Bloom. What's next for the offseason? What will surprise us? Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch wrap up the year and look forward. And thank you all for listening this year, it has been more fun than the baseball. We are excited to talk more this offseason than we did last offseason. Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

We promised you a big Recap Of The John Mozeliak Era show. This is that show. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch give an exhaustive rundown of the highs and low of the Cardinals' leader's two-decade run on the eve of his retirement. How will he be remembered? What did he do right? Wrong? What's fair? What isn't? We did in deep. We hope you enjoy. And hey: Just one week left in the season!  Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

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.
