We hope you had a great Labor Day! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch talk about Hancel Rincon and his cool hat (and the not-cool umpire), as well as how the Cardinals rotation might look next year. But they close with some nostalgia, telling stories about Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina and the 2006 Cardinals as they're all honored at Busch this weekend.

The Cardinals lost a rough series to the Pirates, but it's not really about the rest of the season at this point. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch discuss the callup of top catching prospect Leo Bernal, as well as what J.J. Wetherholt's injury means and how important Masyn Winn is moving forward.

The Cardinals had a very active deadline, trading away Dustin May and J.J. Romero to the Brewers and Lars Nootbaar to the Diamondbacks. But they got a LOT back. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch wrap up the deadline and talk about the future, particularly how Alec Burleson may be a bigger part of it than many (including us) might have anticipated.

1 hr 4 min
The Cardinals' miserable loss to the Diamondbacks on Sunday exposed a lot of flaws in this team, but they're still in the Wild Card race. What does it mean for the team moving forward?

Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod

We didn't have an episode scheduled today, but how could we not talk about what Jordan Walker did in the Home Run Derby? Will Leitch goes solo to talk about Walker's HRD, which sure feels like something we'll be talking about for a long, long time. Just a quick react: That was amazing.

54 min
We were off last week, and boy did we miss a lot! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch talk about the end of the first half, how the Cardinals should approach the trade deadline, and then they talk about the draft and, the biggest news while we were gone, the eight-year extension they signed with J.J. Wetherholt, who will be a Cardinals for a long time. Music as always by the great The Sundogs. seeingredpod@gmail.com. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod

The Cardinals are still in the playoff position, but just barely. Can they hang on? Will they even try? Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch dig into the key next couple of weeks.

Music as always by the great The Sundogs. seeingredpod@gmail.com. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod
1 hr 3 min
The Cardinals had a brutal series, pitching-wise, in Kansas City, and it has us wondering what can be done ... and if the Cardinals will even try to do something. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch dig into the Cardinals rotation woes, particularly Matthew Liberatore, and if there is some help to be had in Triple A. It's the next big test for the front office. Let's see how they handle it. Music as always by the great The Sundogs. seeingredpod@gmail.com. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod
50 min
Dustin May pitched one of the best games in recent Cardinals memory on Monday, but the bullpen is fading. Do they need help? Are they going to dare to still trade May at the deadline? What is next for this team at this very critical juncture? Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch dig into all the big decisions that Chaim Bloom is going to have to make in the next month. We also have a cameo appearance from Wynn Leitch, to tell us about his visit to Tarps Off, how Jose Fermin signed his hat, the potential of a Jordan Walker position change and JJ Wetherholt's new catchphrase.

Lars Nootbaar returned to give the Cardinals a three-game sweep over the Reds this week, and the Cardinals made a roster move involving Victor Scott II. Lots of intrigue as always!

54 min
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. seeingredpod@gmail.com. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod
55 min
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. seeingredpod@gmail.com. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod
52 min
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. seeingredpod@gmail.com. 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. seeingredpod@gmail.com. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod
54 min
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. seeingredpod@gmail.com. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod
59 min
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. seeingredpod@gmail.com. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod
50 min
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.

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. seeingredpod@gmail.com. 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. seeingredpod@gmail.com. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod
48 min
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. seeingredpod@gmail.com. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod
47 min
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. Music as always by the great The Sundogs. seeingredpod@gmail.com. Twitter/X/Bluesky: seeingredpod

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. seeingredpod@gmail.com

The trade we've all been waiting for finally happened: The Cardinals traded Brendan Donovan. He'll be in Seattle, and the Cardinals got a pitcher who throws with both arms as well as a bunch of draft stuff. Bernie Miklasz was unable to be with us today, so Will Leitch solos, talking about what the trade means in the short and long term. Because there is no Bernie, this is, of course, the words episode of Seeing Red ever. But we still wanted to get it out to you. We'll be back weekly when Spring Training gets going (and Will gets back from the Super Bowl). Music as always by the great The Sundogs. seeingredpod@gmail.com
47 min
Hey, hey, Bernie and Will are back! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch return for their first Seeing Red of 2026, and they've got a lot to discuss, starting with of course the Nolan Arenado trade. They dig into what Chaim Bloom may have brewing up next, including with Brendan Donovan, and what some of the projection systems say about the team in 2026. Our next show will be after the Super Bowl, but come Spring Training, we'll be back to weekly. We missed you! Music as always by the great The Sundogs. Sorry we didn't have our opening song on this one, we had some tech issues. It'll be back on the next show. We're rusty!

Hey, hey, Bernie and Will are back! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch return for their first Seeing Red since the end of the year, and they've got a lot to discuss, starting with of course the Sonny Gray trade. They dig into what Chaim Bloom may have brewing up next, as well as trying to figure out the catching situation and how long it may be until the Cardinals contend next. We missed you! We hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Music as always by the great The Sundogs. Sorry we didn't have our opening song on this one, we had some tech issues. It'll be back on the next show. We're rusty!

So the 2025 Cardinals season ended with a whimper. Goodbye, John Mozeliak, hello, Chaim Bloom. What's next for the offseason? What will surprise us? Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch wrap up the year and look forward. And thank you all for listening this year, it has been more fun than the baseball. We are excited to talk more this offseason than we did last offseason. Music as always by the great The Sundogs.
54 min
We promised you a big Recap Of The John Mozeliak Era show. This is that show. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch give an exhaustive rundown of the highs and low of the Cardinals' leader's two-decade run on the eve of his retirement. How will he be remembered? What did he do right? Wrong? What's fair? What isn't? We did in deep. We hope you enjoy. And hey: Just one week left in the season! Music as always by the great The Sundogs.
58 min
The Cardinals are about to have a VERY active offseason. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch go through the whole roster to figure out who's going to stay, who's going to go, and what they think the Cardinals SHOULD do. It's a fun show, with just two weeks left in the season. Music as always by the great The Sundogs.
58 min
OK, look, we got a full episode again, it's amazing what you can do through basic Zoom. We also did it on video, which was almost kind of weird! Anyway, Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch talk about Bernie's big Jordan Walker scoop from last week, and then they dig into, with your help, What Will Bring The Fans Back? What do fans expect? What do they need to see? This is what this episode's about. It's a good one, we think! Music as always by the great The Sundogs.
29 min
So we're still having some issues with the Cast podcast app, which is why this show is (once again) shorter, though it is longer than last week. We'll just do Zoom moving forward--annoying. Anyway, Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch get into all sorts of good stuff, but we missed a whole fun Story Hour With Bernie in which we heard about him watching the Ozzie "Go Crazy Folks" homer with Bill Bidwill. Argh. Music as always by the great The Sundogs.
6 min
WE ARE SORRY: CAST ATE THE FINAL 40 MINUTES OF OUR PODCAST TODAY. Here are the first six minutes. Very frustrating. Below is what it WOULD have been about. CAST is the equivalent of Cardinals baseball right now. Anyway, have a great Labor Day. As the wheels start to come off the 2025 Cardinals, Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch take a look at the two most compelling figures, moving forward, on the team: Nolan Gorman and Jordan Walker. Have they made progress? How can you count on them moving forward? We dig into the futures of each player, and the Cardinals themselves, and how they're tied together. We also talk a little college football. Have a great Labor Day! Music as always by the great The Sundogs.
56 min
A miserable week--seriously, what a lousy homestand--was exacerbated by some very, very small crowds at Busch, which was noticed by a national media paying attention to the Yankees. We discuss that, an interview with the Cards' head of ticket sales and try to place blame where it's warranted. We also have a fun discussion of everyone's picks for their least favorite Cardinals ever. Fiery show! Music as always by the great The Sundogs.
51 min
After a successful week--wait, are the Cardinals really only 3 1/2 games out of the Wild Card--and a weekend that featured Yadier Molina in the dugout (and a lot of Cardinals fans wishing he'd stay there), Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch dig into The Oliver Marmol Question. What kind of a manager is he? Why are fans so skeptical of him? Can he survive into next year, or even the year after? Does what he represent shadow who he actually is? It's a lively discussion! Also: We want to hear your least favorite Cardinals ever: seeingredpod@gmail.com Music as always by the great The Sundogs.
55 min
The Cardinals didn't do THAT much at the deadline, but maybe that's for the best. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch discuss what comes next, whether Chaim Bloom is NOW fully in charge ... and what we should expect from the ownership group moving forward. Music as always by the great The Sundogs.
51 min
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.
51 min
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.
49 min
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.
53 min
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.
52 min
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.
