A jam-packed hour with travel chaos, brutal commutes, and a check-in on the crew (including Connor Green and the latest “Loogie” tales). Then the sports hits hard: Giancarlo Stanton admits his elbow pain is so bad he “can't open a bag of chips,” sparking a real Yankees roster conversation around rest, urgency, and what it means for Jason Dominguez and Spencer Jones. From there, it's full Jets mode at the combine after a headline trade: Jermaine Johnson is shipped out as the Jets bring in massive nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat, with plenty of debate on what it says about Aaron Glenn's defensive blueprint and what it means for the No. 2 pick. The QB carousel gets messy too, with Andy Dalton as a potential “competency” option, plus the usual Kirk Cousins and Derek Carr arguments, and even some Tanner McKee trade talk. To wrap it up, St. John's lays an egg vs. UConn and the guys argue whether it's an anomaly or a warning sign for March, with a quick spin through other big topics like ABS and CC Sabathia getting his number retired.
The Stanton “can't open a bag of chips” saga takes another turn as the conversation shifts from tennis elbow to a scarier possibility: could this be an arthritis-style issue that requires constant warming up just to function? The guys debate what it means for Stanton's season, why he's always the first one on the field, and whether the Yankees should treat him like an October-only investment. Then it turns into a baseball nerd fest in the best way: a caller dives into the strike zone math, and the show unpacks the ABS challenge system, why players want it in big moments, why umpires may want it even more, and how it could change in-game strategy. Is “best of both worlds” the right approach, or does full ABS feel inevitable? Plus, the quarterback conversation heats up. A Giants fan calls from Florida to question Jaxson Dart's durability, sparking a bigger debate about availability, concussions, wear-and-tear, and what young QBs need around them to survive in New York. Stanton's elbow, ABS chaos, and QB risk all in one stretch of radio.
It starts in the Bronx with a sentence you never want to hear about your DH: Giancarlo Stanton says his elbow pain is so bad he “can't open a bag of chips,” yet he's still talking about a full season. The guys react to Stanton's “mentally tough” framing, Aaron Boone's comments, and the bigger question Yankees fans can't shake: if this is what they're telling us, what aren't they telling us? From there, the Yankees' roster dominoes come into focus. Randal Grichuk arrives, the Domínguez vs. Spencer Jones conversation heats up, and the debate turns to a practical plan: should the Yankees slow-play Stanton early, keep him out of cold weather, and treat him like an October investment while the kids get real runway? Then the hour swings to football. The Jets make a major defensive statement by flipping Jermaine Johnson for massive nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat, signaling a scheme shift and a clear vision for Aaron Glenn's defense. Calls pour in on what it means for the draft, the front seven, and whether the Jets should build an elite defense now and attack the quarterback position later. And yes, we hit baseball's ABS strike zone chaos too, plus a Giants caller sparks the latest debate: is Jaxson Dart's durability a real concern, or is New York just traumatized by the “availability” conversation at quarterback?

Baseball has always made room for human error. Umpires miss calls. Fans complain. Life goes on. But this season, MLB is rolling out the Automated Ball-Strike challenge system -- ABS -- giving teams two challenges per game to contest ball-and-strike calls. The idea is to reduce bad calls. The likely side effect is a whole new category of mistakes. In this "Mistake of the Week," Mark Graban looks at what happens when correcting human error depends on another human decision -- and what one anonymous coach predicted, vividly, about how this will play out.
"If you're only going to consume the flesh of one beast for the rest of your life..." It's time to determine what this group will touch with a 10-foot pole, including Luka's future title chances, pork vs. beef, and the new ABS system in baseball, which Greg is vehemently against. The show also remains very, very, very old. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

MLB's Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) system is here, and after seeing it up close in spring training, Evan is fired up. What's supposed to make the game fairer is instead creating constant interruptions, delayed reactions to big moments, and a whole new layer of controversy. The biggest gripe? If the technology can get every call right instantly, why are players “challenging” pitches at all instead of just making the strike zone automatic? The guys break down the chaos of “infinite” successful challenges, why this could dominate the early weeks of the season, and how baseball may be overthinking a problem with a simple solution. Calls pour in comparing ABS to VAR in soccer, pitch framing, and even where an umpire should stand to get the best view of the zone. And because nothing stays on track for long, the conversation spirals into a hilarious hockey history mix-up involving Walter vs. Keith Tkachuk, an on-air apology challenge, locker-room prank stories, hotel room accusations, and a classic Cinco de la Show on the absolute worst parts of snow. A pure slice of late-winter sports talk chaos.
(00:00) The guys open the show discussing the idea of cats & dogs living together. Also, Fred doesn't wanna be around anymore… when it comes to living in the northeast during the winter time.(19:24.454)(34:06.824) WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT: Is Team USA celebrating a little TOO MUCH??? The Red Sox go all-in early on ABS challenges. The Boston Celtics overcame a slow start and earned a lopsided victory over the Phoenix Suns, 97-81.

ABS
Auto-brewery syndrome (ABS), sometimes called gut fermentation syndrome, is one of the most misunderstood conditions in digestive health. Patients can experience real symptoms of alcohol intoxication—even when they haven't consumed alcohol—often leading to years of misdiagnosis, stigma, and confusion. In this episode, we explore groundbreaking research published in Nature Microbiology examining how specific gut microbes may produce ethanol inside the body and contribute to auto-brewery syndrome. Host Jacqueline Gaulin, founder of Gastro Girl, is joined by researcher and co-author Barbara Cordell to break down: • What auto-brewery syndrome is and how it affects patients • Why this condition has historically been difficult to diagnose • What new microbiome research reveals about microbial ethanol production • How this science may help validate patient experiences • What clinicians and patients should know moving forward This evidence-based, patient-focused conversation sheds light on a condition that has long been misunderstood—and offers hope for clearer recognition, research, and support.

"Si quieres ir al desierto, compra un Land Rover. Si quieres volver, compra un Toyota". Esta frase, que durante décadas ha circulado entre mecánicos, militares y exploradores en los rincones más inhóspitos de África y Australia, no es solo un chiste de barra de bar. Es la síntesis de una realidad que la marca británica ha intentado camuflar bajo capas de cuero premium, madera de nogal y una imagen de prestigio ligada a la Familia Real británica. Bienvenidos a una nueva entrega de nuestra serie “lo que las marcas no quieren que sepas”. Hoy vamos a desgranar los "trapos sucios" de Land Rover, una marca que parece haber perfeccionado el arte del "Síndrome de Estocolmo": te maltrata, te vacía la cuenta corriente, te deja tirado en la cuneta... pero la limpias, la miras y te vuelves a enamorar. 1. El Defender y la "Ergonomía del Potro de Tortura" Empecemos por el icono, el Defender clásico. Diseñado originalmente en 1948 para que un granjero pudiera llevar una oveja en el asiento del copiloto, su ergonomía ha permanecido casi inalterada durante casi 70 años. El problema no es solo que el volante esté descentrado respecto al asiento; es que el espacio para el conductor es inexistente. El asiento está tan pegado a la puerta que, si no conduces con la ventanilla bajada y el codo fuera, tu brazo izquierdo quedará atrapado contra tu propio costillar. 2. La Maldición de Lucas: "El Príncipe de las Tinieblas" Para entender los clásicos de la marca, hay que conocer a su proveedor eléctrico: Joseph Lucas. Durante décadas, el sistema eléctrico de estos coches fue el hazmerreír de la industria. Existe un chiste recurrente que pregunta: "¿Por qué los ingleses beben la cerveza caliente? Porque Lucas fabrica sus neveras". 3. El Range Rover P38 y el "Cerebro Mojado" En 1994, Land Rover intentó dar un salto tecnológico con la segunda generación del Range Rover, el P38. Fue un desastre de proporciones bíblicas. Fue su primer coche gestionado totalmente por electrónica, pero con tecnología inmadura. 4. El Freelander 1: El motor "Sándwich" y la IRD A finales de los 90, el Freelander fue un éxito de ventas, pero bajo el capó escondía el motor 1.8 gasolina Serie K. Este motor estaba construido por capas apretadas con pernos larguísimos que atravesaban todo el bloque. El problema es que los pernos se estiraban con el calor y las guías de la culata eran de plástico. 5. Los "Tres Amigos" del Discovery 2 Si tienes un Discovery 2, conoces a los "Tres Amigos". No son tus compañeros de rutas, sino tres luces amarillas (TC, HDC y ABS) que se encienden simultáneamente en el cuadro de mandos. Cuando esto ocurre, todas las ayudas electrónicas desaparecen. 6. La Caja de Cristal del Range Rover L322 En la era BMW, el Range Rover L322 era el epítome del lujo. Sin embargo, equipaba una caja de cambios de General Motors diseñada para coches mucho más ligeros. Land Rover cometió el error de afirmar que el aceite de la caja era “de por vida” (sealed for life). Como nada es eterno, hacia los 130.000 km la caja solía colapsar, desintegrando los discos de embrague o haciendo explotar el convertidor de par. Una factura de 4.000 euros esperaba siempre a la vuelta de la esquina. 7. La Ruleta Rusa del Cigüeñal (TDV6 y SDV6) Bajo el mandato de Ford, los Discovery 3 y 4 montaron los motores V6 diésel desarrollados con Peugeot/Citroën. Estos motores esconden un defecto oscuro y letal: debido a un fallo en los casquillos de bancada y la lubricación, el cigüeñal sufre fatiga de metal y se parte físicamente en dos. No hay aviso previo, no hay luz de aceite. 8. El Infierno del "Body Off" Para colmo, Land Rover diseñó sus coches modernos (Discovery 3/4 y Range Sport) de forma que el vano motor está tan apretado que casi cualquier reparación "sencilla" requiere separar la carrocería del chasis. ¿Quieres cambiar los turbos o la bomba de aceite? Paso 1: Levantar la cabina entera. 9. Los motores Ingenium y la Cadena "Tímida" En la actualidad, bajo Tata Motors, los problemas no han desaparecido. Los motores Ingenium diésel de 2.0 litros tienen la cadena de distribución en la parte trasera, pegada a la caja de cambios. Si la cadena se estira (un fallo común), hay que sacar el motor entero para cambiarla. Además, sufren de dilución de aceite: el gasoil extra inyectado para limpiar el filtro de partículas termina en el cárter, degradando el aceite y provocando la rotura prematura de turbos y casquillos. Conclusión ¿Odio a Land Rover? En absoluto. Me encantan. Un Land Rover tiene algo que un Toyota o un Mitsubishi jamás tendrán: carisma. Cuando funcionan, son los mejores coches del mundo.

With Spring Training games in full swing, baseball fans are starting to get familiar with the Automated Ball-Strike challenge system. Although ABS isn't brand new to baseball, as it's been used in the minor leagues for a few seasons, it will be new to the majors in 2026 — so now is the time to learn all about it. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman give you the history of the ABS challenge system and explain how we've gotten to the point where it will be implemented in the game. MLB catcher Garrett Stubbs joins the show to give a catcher's point of view on how it's impacting his position, as well as the strategies that come along with challenging calls and the tension it can create with umpires. Later, Jake and Jordan talk about Rhys Hoskins and Michael Conforto both getting minor league deals and a wave of new injuries plaguing the Minnesota Twins and the Baltimore Orioles. They then close the show by remembering Hall of Famer Bill Mazeroski following his passing this weekend. 1:56 - What is the ABS system? 35:48 - Garrett Stubbs gives POV on ABS 54:19 - Around the League: Minor league deals 1:00:51 - Injury bug is going around 1:05:14 - College baseball happenings 1:11:29 - Remembering Bill Mazeroski Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

This week on the pod, we had a critical audio error and it doesn't exactly sound it's best. But, we power through and talk about how our Cincinnati Reds FINALLY played baseball in 2026. We cover the boys who hurled on Saturday and who might have gotten a leg up on that fifth spot in the rotation, Chase Burns or Rhett Lowder. We also talk about the Hunter Greene “subtweet” interview. We have the introduction of ABS and how it could possibly help Elly De La Cruz. We also talk about the Tony Clark resignation, why it happened and what it means for the future of the CBA. Lastly, we cover the “war chest” and how the owners truly don't care about the fans or the players. The show is always brought to you by Cincy Light, the flavor of Cincinnati.
