Mozeliak BUILT This Mess: Lefty Overload KILLING St. Louis Cardinals Offense

Bernie goes in-depth on the Cardinals’ ongoing struggles against left-handed pitching, placing the blame squarely on John Mozeliak’s flawed roster construction. He highlights how the team’s overload of left-handed bats—many of whom underperform against lefties—has created a structural offensive weakness that opposing teams continue to exploit. Even with Ivan Herrera’s injury factored in, Bernie argues the problem is deeper than just missing one player. He also calls out the St. Louis media and fanbase for making excuses, insists the Cardinals need to thin their left-handed depth, and closes by advocating for Chaim Bloom to lead trade discussions instead of Mozeliak. 👑 Presented by DraftKings.
