    Bernie UNLOADS on the St. Louis Cardinals Front Office (Again)
    Jun 18 2025
    The Cardinals called 2025 a “runway season," a year meant to let young talent soar. But Bernie Miklasz is calling out the hypocrisy.

Roster logjams, poor planning, and an unwillingness to bench underperforming veterans. Bernie breaks it all down: from Herrera’s catching dilemma to Arenado’s declining bat, and explains why this “youth movement” isn’t going anywhere unless drastic changes are made. 🔥 Get your first month free at BlueChew with code ‘BERNIE’ https://bluechew.com 👑 Presented by DraftKings.
