Seeing Red Episode 152: A Very Rough Week Begs Some Very Tough Questions

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.

Sheesh, this team! After one of the best weeks of the season, the Cardinals had one of the worst, going scoreless against the Pirates and getting knocked around by the Cubs. What to make of them now? Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch try to figure it out--and probably fail. Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

First off, thanks for everyone who came out to Left Bank Books in St. Louis on Thursday: What a fun night! The two games Will Leitch attended this week turned out to be the only bad games of the week: He and Bernie Miklasz talk about another hot week for the Cardinals, and how they're now holding the final Wild Card spot. They also look at the "runway season" and see who has passed their midterms, and who hasn't. Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

A hot week for the Cardinals leads into the first series of the year against the Cubs. It should be a hot one! Will Leitch and Bernie Miklasz look at the Cardinals-Cubs rivalry, both right now and historically. Can the Cardinals be to the Cubs now what the Cubs were to the Cardinals 10 years ago? And Leitch is heading to town this week: Cubs-Cardinals rivalry, let's go! Also, our book event for Will's novel "Lloyd McNeil's Last Ride" at Left Bank Books on June 26 is THIS THURSDAY.

The Cardinals had a fantastic weekend series against the Dodgers ... and then fell flat on their face with consecutive miserable series against the Blue Jays and the Brewers. Can they turn it around in time for their first series against the Cubs next week? Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch discuss. Also, don't forget our book event for Will's novel "Lloyd McNeil's Last Ride" at Left Bank Books on June 26. Fun! Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

The Cardinals had a tough loss on Monday, a great comeback followed by yet another Ryan Helsley blown save. Should the Cardinals be worried about their All-Star closer? What other options do they have anyway? Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch break it down. Bernie also talks about some late-night texts with a certain former Cardinals manager.

We were slightly delayed this week, which gave us time to see the Cardinals get knocked around by the ordinarily punchless Royals on Tuesday. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch wonder: Is the rotation going to come apart? If so, what can they do to fix it? Will they even try? Also, don't forget our book event for Will's next novel at Left Bank Books on June 26. Fun! Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

The Cardinals keep winning, and it begs the question: Can this team keep it up and potentially be a postseason team? Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch discuss what the Cardinals' playoff outlook might turn out to be, whether they'll add at the deadline, just how much of a focus that should be. They also talk about some nice crowds this weekend at Busch and how they don't understand the media world anymore.
