Joshua Baez Shocked Baseball at Wrigley, But Bernie Is Watching Something Else...

Joshua Baez did something no player in Major League Baseball history had ever done, and 24 hours later he struck out three times and went hitless. Bernie Miklasz says the second game may end up mattering just as much as the first. On this Monday edition of The Bernie Show, Bernie breaks down the most stunning debut in baseball history and then makes the case that Baez's quiet Sunday was quietly useful. He walks through why the Cardinals were right to keep Baez at Triple-A Memphis longer than fans wanted, what the swing adjustments actually fixed, and why he now believes he was wrong to push for an earlier call up. He also explains what Baez's arrival does for Jordan Walker, why this lineup suddenly looks deeper, and why the Jimmy Crooks reaction should be a warning to everyone about how fast a fan base can turn on a young hitter.
