The St. Louis Cardinals Are CRUMBLING… And This Is Why

The St. Louis Cardinals are hitting a wall, and Bernie Miklasz is here to explain why. In this episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie breaks down the alarming lack of position player depth that’s led to overuse, fatigue, and declining production from key starters like Brendan Donovan, Lars Nootbaar, Victor Scott II, Masyn Winn, and Nolan Arenado. Is it on Oli Marmol? Or the front office? Bernie points fingers and offers fixes, including a hopeful look toward 2026 under incoming baseball ops leader Chaim Bloom. 🔥 Get your first month free at BlueChew with code ‘BERNIE’ https://bluechew.com 👑 Presented by DraftKings.
