Seeing Red Episode 181: Is This the Most Exciting Young Team in Baseball?

The Cardinals made some fascinating moves this week, calling up Jimmy Crooks and Nelson Velazquez, but, as Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch discuss, it's less about the players themselves and more about what the movies say about what the Cardinals think about this season ... and the opportunity in front of them right now. Plus: Leitch will be in the Tarps Off section on Tuesday! Please do not take pictures. Music as always by the great The Sundogs. [email protected]. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod

We hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch talk about the Cardinals lagging offense, and how Lars Nootbaar could help.

The Cardinals, thanks to a club team from Stephen F. Austin, have stumbled across something undeniably cool with TARPS OFF, a bunch of shirtless dudes screaming like soccer fans. How do the Cardinals capitalize both on and off the field? What does this mean moving forward? It's a very exciting moment, and Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch break it down. And have a great Memorial Day weekend, all: We'll be back on Tuesday after the holiday weekend.  Music as always by the great The Sundogs. [email protected]. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod

The Cardinals split with the Brewers and Padres this week but could have had more. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch discuss the week that was and whether this team should be thought of more highly than they are. They also have a big debate about Pedro Pages, as well as Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina and the Cardinals Hall of Fame. Also: Will is going to the games in Sacramento this week, if you're in town, come to Drake's The Barn pregame on Wednesday and hang with fellow Seeing Red listeners.

Just when you thought you could start modulating your expectations ... the Cardinals sweep four from the Pirates and win two of three from the two-time defending champion Dodgers. Exciting! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch break down what it means for the Cardinals, how on board we should be, whether Chaim Bloom should get some bullpen help and, in a fun discussion, what extensions for JJ Wetherholt and Jordan Walker would look like. Fun show. Fun team! Music as always by the great The Sundogs. [email protected]. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod

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.
