There's too much negativity out there! We're going to do some #happytalk. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch preview the Cardinals season by trying to be explicitly optimistic: What's the best-case scenario for this Cardinals team? What are we excited about? What should FANS be excited about? It's the Happy Talk show! It's spring! We're living in a magical land of sunshine! (For now. And probably not...

Part Two of our big season preview series continues with Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch taking a look at the pitching staff, the rotation, the bullpen, the prospects, all of it. We're actually close to baseball starting, seriously. We also talk about Yadier Molina and Albert Pujols as managerial candidates. And there are games next week!  Music as always by the great The Sundogs. Email us at seein...

Enough offseason grousing: There's an actual team out there! Let's discuss them! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch kick off our 2025 Cardinals Preview series by digging deep into the lineup, offense and defense. How will Oli Marmol balance all the disparate parts? Who is this team's center fielder? How do you get at-bats for Nolan Gorman? Does having Arenado back clog everything up? We dig into all o...

Spring Training is, at its core, about optimism, and we've got, at last, a little bit of that thanks to JJ Wetherholt, the first-round pick who launched a gorgeous opposite field homer in the Cardinals' second Grapefruit League game. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch discuss the youngster, as well as Nolan Arenado and, disturbingly, Erick Fedde trade rumors. Music as always by the great The Sundogs....

Well, Nolan Arenado has reported to Spring Training ... so we suppose Bernie and Will should as well. It's our first show of Spring Training, and we dig into Nolan's return, what the Cardinals' plan is (if there is one) and what, exactly, we're supposed to expect for this year. It's a weird time!

 Hey, everybody, we missed you! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch are back and ... well, nothing has happened with the Cardinals. We discuss the inactivity, Nolan Arenado, the rotation and what, if anything, is going to happen next. We really, really missed you. Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

 Hey, everybody, we missed you! Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch are back and talking about Willson Contreras at first base, potential trades of Nolan Arenado and Ryan Helsley, and all sorts of stuff.

Well, the Cardinals had their big end-of-season press conference. Bernie and Will go over their (and your) observations ... and say goodbye to the 2024 season. Music as always by the great The Sundogs. Email us at seeingredpod@gmail.com and follow us on Twitter/X at seeingredpod. 

Will and Bernie are baffled to learn that the Cardinals are saying they're making big changes ... but bringing the exact people who let things go downhill back to make those changes. What is going on? We try to make sense of it. But it's very, very hard. Music as always by the great The Sundogs. Email us at seeingredpod@gmail.com and follow us on Twitter/X at seeingredpod. 

We've got only two weeks left in the season. Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch ask the big question: How much CAN the Cardinals change in the offseason? On the field? Not a lot, we argue. But off the field? That's the big one. Music as always by the great The Sundogs. Email us at seeingredpod@gmail.com and follow us on Twitter/X at seeingredpod. 

Now that this season is (essentially) over, Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch ask what happens next, and if it will require a housecleaning to get the fans back. The answer is ... probably yes.

The Cardinals had a 4-2 week but lost Willson Contreras again, which bodes very poorly for the next month. What happens if the Cardinals bottom out? Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch also contrast the Cardinals and the Padres, and discuss if Mike Shildt is better off having left St. Louis entirely. Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

Egads, it got really bad. The Cardinals are in big trouble, and Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch try to figure what, if anything, can be done.

The Cardinals currently have a 14 percent chance of making the playoffs? If they fall short--with attendance now about to fall below three million for the season for the first time in nearly two decades--the question has to be asked: Will John Mozeliak fall on his sword if they fall short? Won't he have to? Won't somebody? Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch try to war game out the scenarios in what su...

Until about 9:30 Central Time on Thursday, the Cardinals had GREAT vibes. And then it all fell apart during a truly awful weekend in Wrigley. Is there still hope for this team? Can they make a run? When's ownership going to step up? What in the WORLD is up with Goldschmidt and (especially) Arenado? Can Pham save us? Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch discuss! Music as always by the great The Sundogs....

The Cardinals won two out of three against the Braves and scored a whole bunch of runs doing it, led by Alec Burleson. How encouraged should we be? Should we worry about Sonny Gray?

It's the All-Star Break! We evaluate where the Cardinals are at the break, and try to urge the front office to show more urgency than they have traditionally been comfortable with.
