Bernie’s REDBIRD REVIEW: Two Series Wins, 20 Takeaways stlsportscentral.com/2026/04/02/ber…

The feisty rebuilders -- #STLCards -- had a good opening week at home. They won a high-scoring series against a low-payroll team (Rays) and a low-scoring series against a massive payroll team (Mets) youtu.be/JToZ3vTtlzY?si… via @YouTube

Can the #STLCards win games in different ways? They've prevailed in the first two series. (1) Rays + Cards combined for 45 runs in 3 games and STL won twice. (2) Cards + Mets combined for 12 runs in 3 games and STL won twice. Lots of runs, hardly any runs, just keep competing. Small sample. But a fun one.

Bernie Show: The #STLCards have found their star. JJ Wetherholt is ideal for this team and this market. The situation calls for a long-term contract. And the longer the Cards wait the more expensive it will be. youtu.be/IuARx8dPoEM?si… via @YouTube

In the first turn of the #STLCards rotation, Michael McGreevy got a good share of strikeouts (23.8% rate). But the other 4 starters -- Liberatore, May, Leahy, Pallante -- collectively faced 91 hitters and struck out only nine of them. (9.8% strikeout rate.)

Bernie Show: The #STLCards big dream for 2026? That what they're seeing from Jordan Walker + Nolan Gorman is something that can last. Think of what the young hitters did in 2023 as compared to 2024 and '25. youtu.be/9tFJF5Gb-xs?si… via @YouTube

Great point. The 2026 MLB season concluded on Sunday night, so congrats to the #STLCards for exceeding expectations with a 2-1 record and shutting up all the a-hole media types. Just an excellent full season by the Redbirds. It went by so quickly!

@gibuo1 Everything is fine. Nathan Church was going to play a lot, either way. Loooooooooong season.

@b_miklasz And now he's 0-8 with 4Ks in AAA. The Cardinals decision to send him down,especially given the fact he had 0 options if they would have added him to the 40 man, is looking pretty smart. Let him prove it in AAA and then add him. I hope he tears it up.

Fun with math: I included Nelson Velazquez in here to have a comparison and see how he fits. These are MLB stats only. #STLCards Home Runs Per 100 ABs 1. Velazquez, 5.62 2. Gorman, 5.27 3. Herrera, 3.57 4. Burleson, 3.41 5. Pages, 3.20

This is essential reading for #STLCards fans who want to track the prospects. You GOTTA subscribe, or Kyle will come to your house and "water" your lawn.

One thing about the young #STLCards hitters: they don't scare. The Redbirds had to dig deep to win 2 of 3 from the Rays. A highly entertaining series, but is there a fire extinguisher for the STL bullpen? youtu.be/UQMoBDSZmcQ?si… via @YouTube

Who is this Jordan Walker fella? #STLCards

Bernie's Redbird Review: On Opening Day, the #STLCards went with their youngest, and most homegrown lineup in ages. All-Homegrown as a matter of fact. Pretty remarkable, and so rare. stlsportscentral.com/2026/03/27/ber…

Bernie Show: That was my favorite #STLCards Season Opener in a long time. So much goodness and excitement and resilience packed into one game. youtu.be/Gh7xcpACaq0?si… via @YouTube

Sincere apologies about my incorrect research on the last time the #STLCards erased a deficit of at least six runs to win a home game. (Which they did Thursday). My search queries spit out conflicting answers, so at this point I'm surrendering. I'll be more careful from now on.

I would be honored.
