Take 10 with Tim – May 23, 2025 @ 9:30 am 1.I know everyone loves Juan Soto, but with eight home runs and a .247 batting average after 30% of the games played this season, it looks a lot like 2022 when he hit 27 home runs and had a .242 average. He is stealing bases, which helps, but should owners be worried? Is this the player they drafted?a.He's also been criticized for his lack of hustle. Do you think that now that he's being paid, he's lost something?2.Sal Perez and Adley Rutschman hit home runs on Wednesday. It was Adley's first home run since April 20, and he's barely hitting above the Mendoza line. Perez last hit a home run on April 13 and is also just above the Mendoza line. Who are you more concerned about for the rest of the season?3.Dylan Crews will be out for a while after suffering an oblique strain on Tuesday. Robert Hassell III gets the call. He's far from the player everyone expected when he was drafted by the Padres in the first round in 2020, but he's played alright this season, with a .288 batting average, four home runs, and nine stolen bases. What do you expect, and how long do you think he'll be out?4.Patrick Corbin looked like he was playing out the string after signing that great contract with Washington. He went unowned in most leagues. This year, he's been a different guy. Pitching for Texas, he's won three games and posting a 3.59 ERA. However, he's not striking out many (6.75 K/9) and his xERA is 4.56.a.You can't sell high (maybe you can), but what do you do here? Keep starting him every week? Pick and choose based on matchups? Something else?5.In the past three games, Will Warren has a record of 2-0, with a 1.50 ERA and a 13:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He has lowered his ERA to 4.05. Is this merely a hot streak, or are we witnessing a breakout?6.Matt Shaw returns to the Cubs, and Moises Ballesteros is sent down. This is Shaw's second chance. Will this time be better?7.Rank the Top 10 pitchers you would like to own over the rest of the season.1)Skubal2)Skenes3)Yamamoto4)Wheeler5)Fried6)Brown7)deGrom8)Senga9)Bibee10)Warren8.If something pops up today, we will include9.What one hitter are you targeting in this weekend's FAAB?Robert Hassell III (OF, Was)10.What one pitcher are you targeting in this weekend's FAAB?Daniel Palenecia (RHP, CHC)

Jesse Agler, Padres broadcaster, joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker to discuss San Diego's ballclub after their weekend to forget against the Seattle Mariners. Jesse checks in on Manny Machado's ability to produce with runners in scoring position, Jackson Merrill's high ceiling, how to attack Dylan Cease, the ultra-competitive National League West, and Mike Shildt's presence in the dugout. Mike Bordick (25:20), 14-year MLB infield and host of the BMORE Baseball Podcast, takes a look at Brandon Hyde's firing, what behind Adley Rutschman's slow start, Cedric Mullins' impressive offensive game, and former Oriole Anthony Santander's struggles at the plate.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Tuesday. The guys also give out best bets. The "MLB Tuesday Preview + Best Bets" episode hosted by Munaf Manji with guest Griffin Warner offers a detailed, game-by-game analysis of the MLB slate. Munaf opens by mentioning the excitement surrounding the weekend's games and Juan Soto's return to the Bronx. Griffin begins with the Orioles' implosion, losing despite a 14-3 hit advantage, leading to their manager's firing. He criticizes their underperforming stars like Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman, failed pitching replacements, and Kyle Gibson's poor debut followed by being designated for assignment. Griffin speculates that Brandon Hyde's dismissal, despite being 2023's Manager of the Year, stems from high preseason expectations. Munaf admits he underestimated how poorly the Orioles were performing. They highlight the Cubs vs. Marlins matchup with Jameson Taillon vs. Ryan Weathers. Taillon is untrustworthy as a favorite, while Weathers has promise but is fresh off the IL. Munaf leans on the Cubs' offense, skeptical of Taillon's price. Next, they analyze Reds vs. Pirates. Despite interest in backing Bailey Falter, Griffin is deterred by Pittsburgh's scoring drought—failing to surpass 3 runs in 23 straight games. Nick Martinez has been consistent, while Falter has struggled historically against the Reds. Both lean toward the under 8.5. In the Rangers vs. Yankees game, they discuss Patrick Corbin's surprising stability—holding teams to three or fewer earned runs in all starts this season—and Will Warren's solid form. Though historically bad, Corbin's early-season stats make him a tempting underdog. Munaf supports backing Corbin, noting his past success in Yankee Stadium. They discuss Twins vs. Guardians next, where both support Minnesota. Chris Paddock has rebounded after early struggles, while Gavin Williams hasn't found a reliable swing-and-miss pitch. The Twins' recent 13-game win streak reinforces their pick. The Cardinals vs. Tigers match sees both siding with St. Louis for value. Although Detroit's Skubal is a top Cy Young contender, the Cardinals have been on a hot streak. Eric Fedde, typically inconsistent, has posted strong recent starts. Phillies vs. Rockies analysis is brief—Philadelphia should dominate, especially with Sensatela's 6.39 ERA and 1–7 record. Munaf and Griffin agree on Phillies run line and team total over. In Mets vs. Red Sox, Walker Buehler's IL return raises concerns, and Clay Holmes lacks long-term reliability. Both expect high scoring and back the Mets team total over. Royals vs. Giants features Birdsong's first start for SF. With Kansas City's weak offense and San Francisco's cold bats, both prefer under 8. Angels vs. A's is expected to be a slugfest. Kyle Hendricks and Gunnar Hoglund both provide fade-worthy profiles. They predict double-digit scoring, with Munaf backing the over as his best bet. In Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers, Yamamoto is solid, but Ryan Nelson's fastball-heavy approach is predictable. Dodgers' depth and Arizona's weak bullpen suggest the Dodgers team total over is viable. They close with a quick mention of Braves vs. Nationals, likely featuring Spencer Strider off the IL. Griffin's best bet is Twins -108, trusting Paddock's resurgence and the team's momentum. Munaf selects the Angels-A's over 10 due to suspect pitching and a hitter-friendly park in West Sacramento.

Ed, Rob, and Jeremy took some time from Monday's BBMS to talk Orioles with Mike Bordick. Adley Rutschman's recent struggles are starting to turn heads around the baseball world. What will it take to get the former number 1 pick back to the player he was in 2023 and the beginning of 2024?

Welcome into a Monday edition of Glenn Clark Radio, plenty for us to go over after a busy weekend, the Orioles actually won a series out in Anaheim, got Zach Eflin back from the injured list plus there was a ton of lacrosse action over the course of the weekend, and we'll touch on the NBA Playoffs and Stanley Cup Playoffs too, plus we'll go over the latest news in the NFL with the 2025 schedule set to be released this week and what the George Pickens trade to Dallas means for the Ravens, if anything. At 10:30am, we're going to talk O's with our guy, former Orioles pitcher, Steve Johnson to see where he's at with the team right now, the brights spots pitching-wise, Adley Rutschman's struggles and how he can help your son get better at the baseball! At 11am, we're going to meet Ravens 6th round draft pick out of Virginia Tech, DT Aeneas “Fub” Peebles and talk to him all about what it meant to get drafted to the Ravens and what he brings to Baltimore. And as always Jeremy Conn at 11:30am from 105.7 The Fan as we recap the weekend, talk Mother's Day, Orioles, NBA and more! Plus the boys will go ‘Three Up and Three Down' for the week after the birds went 2-4…

Adley Rutschman's slump from the second half of last season has continued into 2025. What went wrong? Bob, Vinny and Nolan are scratching their head trying to figure it out.

The guys discuss Adley Rutschman potentially moving him to first base and why that could help his hitting.

In the final hour of Inside Access, the guys do a six pack of the free agents the Ravens could add still. They also listen to some clips from their interview with Teddye Buchanan and discuss Adley Rutschman's struggles.

Our longtime SABR pal and baseball historian Rob Neyer has made visits from Oregon to talk baseball most of the century and is now the Commissioner of the West Coast League, which once hosted a young Adley Rutschman. It's getting late early for the stumbling Orioles but here's some wisdom on young players and pitching pitfalls for anyone who loves the Orioles. The post Baseball historian Rob Neyer preaches patience on Rutschman and pivots to pitching pitfalls for Orioles first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

Rob was joined by MASN's Kevin Brown during Tuesday's BBMS for a discussion on the root cause of the O's recent struggles. We know the pitching is bad but it's not like the bats are off the hook either. Does an Orioles resurgence hinge on guys like Adley Rutschman and Jordan Westburg?

Orioles Hall of Famer and BBT analyst Mike Bordick joins the show to discuss what he's thought of the Orioles so far this season. He touches on Adley Rutschman's importance, bad at bats from the whole team, the rotations struggles, and much more.

The guys discuss Adley Rutschman's struggles and why the underlying metrics say he could be unlucky.

In the second hour of Inside Access, the guys discuss Adley Rutschman's early season struggles and why a breakout could be coming for him soon. They also listen to Roquan Smith sound and are joined by Mike Bordick.

Adley Rutschman is batting just .208 so far this season and his on base percentage is below .300 as well. Will he be able to regain his 2022 and 2023 form? Bob and Nolan discuss.

The Cincinnati Reds recently faced the Seattle Mariners in a three-game series from April 15-17, 2025, at T-Mobile Park, with the Mariners taking the series 2-1. In the first game, the Reds fell 9-3, struggling against Seattle's pitching despite Elly De La Cruz's speed on the basepaths. The Reds bounced back in game two, winning 3-1, with Hunter Greene's strong start and Matt McLain's timely hitting. The finale saw a dramatic Mariners comeback, as Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena hit back-to-back homers in the ninth to tie it, followed by Arozarena's clutch double in the 10th for a 6-4 win. De La Cruz went 4-for-12 with a stolen base but struck out in key moments, underscoring his -0.10 clutch rating in 2025. Posts on X highlighted Seattle's late-game heroics, with fans praising Arozarena's impact. Looking ahead, the Reds visit the Baltimore Orioles for a three-game series at Oriole Park at Camden Yards from April 18-20, 2025. The Orioles, with a 7-10 record, boast a potent offense led by Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman but face pitching challenges with injuries to Grayson Rodriguez and Kyle Bradish. The Reds, at 9-10, rely on De La Cruz, McLain, and Greene to compete in the hitter-friendly park. Baltimore's bullpen, weakened by injuries, could be a target for Cincinnati's aggressive base-running. Historical data shows the Orioles leading the head-to-head 10-5 since 2011, with a 4.7 runs-per-game average. Terry Francona's strategic adjustments will be key for the Reds to exploit Baltimore's pitching woes and steal a series win, setting a tone for their NL Central campaign.

Adley Rutschman is off to a hot start after struggling in the second half of last season. Is he back to his old self?

Welcome to Episode 76 of Tablesetters! Devin and Steve are back at the mics to bring you everything happening across the baseball landscape — from monster contracts and rising stars to organizational missteps and real-life tragedy. We begin with Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s jaw-dropping 14-year, $500 million extension — the third-largest contract in MLB history — and discuss what it means not just for the Blue Jays, but for a league that's fully leaning into early-career investments. With extensions this past week for Garrett Crochet, Ketel Marte, Jackson Merrill, Cal Raleigh, and Kristian Campbell, it's clear that locking in young stars is the model. Which leads us to a central question: Will the Orioles follow suit? With talent like Gunnar Henderson, Adley Rutschman, and Jackson Holliday blossoming, it's time for Baltimore to decide whether it wants to ride the wave — or get caught chasing it later. Next up, we pivot to injuries shaping the early season. Key arms and contributors are already shelved, including Blake Snell, Spencer Arrighetti, Zach Eflin, Reynaldo López, and Victor Robles. We assess the impact of those absences and who might rise to fill the void. From there, we spotlight the scorching start of Sacramento's Tyler Soderstrom, who's tied with Aaron Judge atop the MLB home run leaderboard. His success is forcing a conversation about top prospect Nick Kurtz, who's dominating Triple-A. The Athletics may have a good problem on their hands — but one that demands a creative solution soon. We also cover two sobering off-the-field stories. First, the resignation of Tigers Assistant GM Sam Menzin following serious allegations of misconduct — a reminder of the cultural accountability still needed in front offices. And second, the devastating nightclub collapse in Santo Domingo, which claimed 66 lives, including beloved figures from both music and baseball: Octavio Dotel, Tony Blanco, Rubby Pérez, and Nelsy Cruz. In one of the week's most powerful and human moments, Jarren Duran opened up about a suicide attempt he survived during a dark period in his career. His story, shared in a Netflix docuseries, is raw, courageous, and a vital reminder of the mental health challenges facing athletes today. And we close out with a look at Chase Dollander's MLB debut — 5 innings, 6 strikeouts, and his first career win — and Zac Veen's red-hot start in Triple-A. Colorado might not contend this year, but the future is taking shape. Plus, we take a few quick swings in Take a Pitch/Swing Away — including jersey etiquette at games, Kyle Tucker's potential contract value, and whether Mets players should be publicly name-dropping Sandy Alcantara. All that and more in this week's episode. Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @TablesettersPod, subscribe wherever you listen, and keep the conversation going — we're just getting warmed up.

Rob and Jeremy took some time from Wednesday's BBMS to debate what's next for the Orioles front office and Adley Rutschman. The Mariners got a deal done with their franchise catcher, but how does that impact Mike Elias' pursuit of a contract with Adley?

Rob and Jeremy took some time from the opening hour of Wednesday's BBMS to debate what's next for Adley Rutschman and the Orioles now that the Mariners paid their franchise catcher. Cal Raleigh will receive around 17 million a year, but is that the right amount for Adley? Or does he deserve more?

MLB Network's Jon Morosi joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker in-studio to chat about the Detroit Tigers' chances for a World Series berth, the differences with the Boston Red Sox's 2025 roster, how the Baltimore Orioles can learn from the L.A.

Send us a textPat Bailey opens up about his remarkable 42-year baseball coaching journey that culminated in two national championships at Oregon State and D3 George Fox University. With a career spanning high school, Division III, and Division I baseball, Bailey offers a treasure trove of wisdom on what truly builds consistent winners.Bailey's approach to recruiting and team-building is refreshingly countercultural. "Culture eats strategy for breakfast," he explains, detailing his three non-negotiable criteria: character, work ethic, and selflessness. This philosophy led him to prioritize high-achieving students (rarely recruiting players with GPAs below 3.5) and team-first personalities. The results speak for themselves—a whopping 813 collegiate wins and a pipeline of MLB talent including Adley Rutschman, Michael Conforto, and Stephen Kwan.For coaches, Bailey delivers practical gold on outfield development, comparing outfielders to defensive backs in football where mistakes often cost multiple bases or even games. His systematic approach includes daily route work and structured drills to develop complete outfielders. When it comes to hitting, Bailey emphasizes attitude over mechanics: "Hitting is attitude, attitude, attitude," followed by approach and strike zone management.Perhaps most compelling is Bailey's perspective on purpose. "Coaching is not about me. It's about helping other people and having an impact," he shares, explaining how he used baseball merely as a vehicle to develop young men of character. After retiring from coaching in 2020, Bailey now works with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, continuing his life's mission outside the dugout.Whether you're coaching Little League or college baseball, Bailey's parting wisdom resonates: "Capture an athlete's heart and you capture the athlete." His legacy proves that when you focus on developing the person first, the championships often follow.Support the show Follow: Twitter | Instagram @Athlete1Podcast https://www.athlete1.net Sponsor: The Netting Professionals https://www.nettingpros.com
