The St. Louis Cardinals are still within striking distance of a wild card spot, so why is Bernie Miklasz opening this show by admitting he got the 2026 season wrong? Because he bought in during the hot start, the numbers say he shouldn't have, and he's not going to pretend otherwise. In this episode of The Bernie Show, Bernie owns his mistake and then explains it. He walks through why this Cardinals roster was never built to be good, why the wild card race is telling fans a story the underlying metrics don't support, and why he believes almost everyone is angry at the wrong thing. The turn at the end may surprise you, because this isn't a case against Chaim Bloom, it's a case for him.
