The Bernie Show: Gorman Leash Shortening

Nolan Gorman just flipped into something nobody saw coming, and the results are stranger than his worst slump. Bernie Miklasz breaks down the baffling 2026 puzzle: an elite defender who suddenly cannot hit a fly ball. The deeper Bernie digs into the Statcast profile, the bigger the red flags get: dropped exit velocity, a lost launch angle, and a brutal offspeed blind spot that opposing pitchers are already exploiting. With arbitration raises coming in 2027 and 2028 on a low-payroll roster, the question Bernie keeps circling back to is how long Chaim Bloom can justify the bet, especially when Jordan Walker's early signs of a turnaround make the contrast even sharper.
