Seeing Red Episode 180: A Rough Week Leads to Adjusted Expectations

The Cardinals did not have a good week, losing a series to the Marlins and then being swept by the Mariners. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch talk about what has gone wrong, and what we've learned about this team moving forward. They also talk Hunter Dobbins, Victor Scott II and, as always, Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman. Music as always by the great The Sundogs. [email protected]. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod

Well look at that: The Cardinals have won five in a row and are one of the most fun teams in baseball. What's going on? Bernie MIklasz and Will Leitch look back at a riotously fun series in Houston, and they wonder what's sustainable ... and whether it even matters. They also dig into Lars Nootbaar, and the injury to Richard Fitts. The Cardinals are five games over .500! Wild! Music as always by the great The Sundogs. [email protected].

Will is back from his vacation--and his Illini loss--and he and Bernie dig into the first fortnight of Cardinals baseball, focusing on Jordan Walker and his explosion. What's real? What isn't? What do the Cardinals do? What does it change? They dig into all parts, as well as trying to figure out the pitching and thinking about short term vs. long term. It's great to talk about this stuff again. And hey: the Cardinals are over .500! (For now.) Music as always by the great The Sundogs. [email protected]. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod

The bullpen is a mess and Dustin May didn't look great, but it was still difficult not to be encouraged by the Cardinals' opening weekend, which featured JJ Wetherholt's debut, Jordan Walker making strides and a team that clearly doesn't give up. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch break it all down. Also, Will is on vacation next week, so we're off until April 13. We will miss you. And go Illini. Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

The season is here! The season is here! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch preview the 2026 season by breaking the team down position-by-position, answering big questions about the team from every angle. Who will lead the team in innings pitched? Saves? Homers? Which hitters end up above average? We dig into all of it. Because baseball is back this week! We missed it. A lot.

Every email we got this week was about Jordan Walker. So Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch dig into the Jordan Walker experience. What to do? When to give up? What happens next? And then, happier things: Nolan Gorman and Jordan Walker. We're almost to Opening Day, folks.  Music as always by the great The Sundogs. [email protected]. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod

It is difficult to think of a season in which the Cardinals rotation, just two weeks out of Opening Day, has ever felt so unsettled. But the difference now is that unsettled, all told, may not be the worst thing. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch break down the Cardinals rotation for 2026, and note 10, maybe even more, different guys who could be a part of it. It's different than what it might have been in the past. But it also might be better. Music as always by the great The Sundogs. [email protected]. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod

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]
