B. Scott talks about the Astros hanging on by playing .500 baseball while Yordan Alvarez makes an AL MVP bid and ace Hunter Brown works his way back from injury.

Episode 169 of Tablesetters is LIVE! We open with Cristopher Sánchez breaking Grover Alexander's 115-year-old Phillies franchise record with a 44 2/3 inning scoreless streak and discuss where his dominant run now stands among baseball's best pitching stretches in recent years. From there, we break down the Cubs becoming only the second AL/NL team ever to record two 10-game winning streaks and a 10-game losing streak in the same season despite their win today, Houston's combined no-hitter led by Tatsuya Imai and MLB debutant Alimber Santa, and Nick Kurtz's 48-game on-base streak finally coming to an end. We also discuss whether Carlos Mendoza is becoming the face of the Mets' collapse, Munetaka Murakami's legitimate AL MVP case after surpassing the rookie pre-June home run record, and baseball's growing “let the kids play” culture clash after the Brewers and Giants' viral celebration controversies. Plus, Sub-2 ERA crew talk, red-hot and ice-cold players of the week, polls, debates, and everything else happening across Major League Baseball.

Aaron Rodgers regresa a Steelers, elegimos nuestros favoritos al MVP y más NFL.=============
Tonight's MLB episode of Productive Conversations w/ Matt Brown is loaded from top to bottom. We open with the biggest storyline hanging over the sport — owners and players officially kicked off CBA negotiations today, with a salary cap front and center and a potential work stoppage looming at the end of this season. Then we get into the on-field chaos: Shohei Ohtani is in the middle of a real offensive funk, hitting .241 with an 0-for-17 skid that had the Dodgers sitting him out of the DH spot on pitching days. Cal Raleigh — last year's AL MVP runner-up — is hitting just .161 and is hitless in his last 36 plate appearances, calling his slump “really ugly.” Spencer Jones finally made his big-league debut Friday for the Yankees, giving them two 6-foot-7 sluggers in the same outfield. Carlos Correa tore a tendon in his ankle swinging in a batting cage and is done for the year. And we close out by paying tribute to John Sterling, the legendary Yankees radio voice who passed away May 4th at 87. Plus Name That Player — easy, medium, and hard.Tap into Episode 741 of the Productive Conversations Podcast—available now on all podcast platforms and YouTubeOwners and PA meeting (8:20)Ohtani has been struggling (16:34) Cal Raleigh Struggling (26:18) Spencer Jones Debut (31:45) Correa Season Ending Injury (36:48) Rip John Sterling (40:35) Name That Player (49:06)---------------#trending #podcast #podcast #podcasts #baseball #mlbBest way to contact our host is by emailing him at productiveconversationspodcast@gmail.com or mbrown3212@gmail.com Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/productive-conversations-with-matt-brown/id1535871441 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7qCsxuzYYoeqALrWu4x4Kb YouTube: @Productive_Conversations Linktree:https://linktr.ee/productiveconversations
0:00 - Hockey hits are truly different than any other sport. You're not just colliding with other humans. You're getting slammed full force into immovable planks of solid wood, by huge humans moving at high speeds. There's no other sport like it.Also, we were critical of Jared Bednar yesterday for sticking with MacKenzie Blackwood in net for Game 4. It seemed like a solution in search of a problem. And today, we're here to eat crow. Clearly Bedsie knows that goalie room better than anyone else, and that's all that matters. But now, here's where it gets really interesting...who starts in net tomorrow for Game 5?17:05 - Josh Manson clearly got in Michael McCarron's head last night. Manson is a pest. He plays right on that line, but he doesn't cross the line. Every team needs a player like that. Josh Manson is doing to the Wild what Jaden McDaniels did to the Nuggets.32:39 - Some final odds and ends here...The Broncos probably need to a get a restraining order against Von Miller. What happened to Cal Raleigh, who (you could argue) should've won AL MVP over Aaron Judge? Is it okay to send a tweet to the group chat during the waining seconds of a playoff game? LaMelo Ball's partner is named Ana Montana, and they named their son LaOne? Huh?

Tarik Skubal's season—and possibly his financial future—just took a major hit. The Tigers ace is expected to miss 2–3 months with an elbow injury, and Jake and Jordan break down what this means not only for Detroit's season but also for Skubal's looming free agency. Could this injury cost him a historic contract? They also discuss Framber Valdez's struggles on the mound and the fallout from hitting Trevor Story in a lopsided loss to the Red Sox. Shohei Ohtani continues to be one of the most fascinating players in baseball, but is there cause for concern? The guys analyze his recent pitching performance and dig into the narrative that his hitting dips when he's on the mound. Is this just small sample size noise, or something teams should actually be paying attention to? To wrap things up, it's time for some early-season hardware. With one month in the books, Jake and Jordan hand out their picks for AL and NL MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year. Who's real, who's surprising, and who might not last? The overreactions are flying—and that's exactly how we like it. Timetamps: (1:00) – Tarik Skubal our 2-3 months with elbow injury (26:30) – Framber Valdez ejected for hitting Trevor Story (35:45) – Shohei Ohtani continues to not hit when pitching (45:00) – Carlos Correa suffers major ankle injury (50:30) – Early season MLB awards Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Toronto Blue Jays EVP and general manager Ross Atkins (0:24) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker to chat about what he's looking forward to and his goals for the organization's 2026 season, how they handled their first Spring Training after a long season and World Series push, Kevin Gausman entering his 14th MLB season and his workload, how Spencer Miles earned a main roster spot, what he learned from Dylan Cease, how Max Scherzer ended up returning to the team, what he envisions for third base and Kazuma Okamoto as a hitter, Vladdy Jr.'s maturation, Daulton Varsho's consistency and continuing to work with John Schneider after both signing contract extensions. Then, New York Yankees reporter Erik Boland (28:22) drops by to recap their season opener, if the defence or bullpen is the biggest weakness, Ben Rice's season outlook, and if Aaron Judge can stay healthy enough to win another AL MVP.

RUNDOWN We're in a foul mood after the Seahawks' ugly loss to the Rams, unpacking Sam Darnold's four-interception stinker, the looming backlash from "I told you so" Darnold haters, and the gut-punch of Gray Zabel's injury. Mitch unleashes a full-on rant about Greg Olsen's broadcast style ("constant blabber"), while Scott notes how different the offense looks without Tory Horton on the field. The mood finally lifts with the news that the Mariners have locked up Josh Naylor on a five-year extension, giving Seattle fans a much-needed jolt of optimism. And then some baseball outrage: Cal Raleigh narrowly finishes second in AL MVP to Aaron Judge. Mitch is joined by Brady Henderson (ESPN) and Jacson Bevens (Cigar Thoughts) to break down the Seahawks' 21–19 loss to the Rams — a game that somehow stayed close despite four interceptions from Sam Darnold and a red-zone drought. Brady calls it Darnold's first true "stinker" as a Seahawk, noting that none of the INTs were flukes, while Jacson credits a defense that "played its balls off" despite brutal field position. The trio discuss the seriousness of rookie guard Gray Zabel's knee injury, the need for Kubiak to scheme around an unstable interior line, and Darnold's growing turnover trend (now 14 on the year). Mitch welcomes back CBS College Football Analyst Rick Neuheisel, presented by Taco Time Northwest, to unpack a chaotic Week 12 in college football — starting with Rick's victory lap on his perfectly predicted Penn State cover. From there, the guys dive into a jam-packed headline wheel: Lane Kiffin's status as the hottest name on the coaching carousel (and why Rick believes he'll land at Florida), Georgia's dominance over Texas, Oklahoma's big win in Tuscaloosa, Texas A&M's shocking 30–3 comeback, and the SEC's suddenly muddled playoff picture. Mitch revisits Episode Zero — the never-meant-to-be-public "exhibition game" that quietly launched Mitch Unfiltered back in 2018. What begins as a joke about their faux–"Fool in the Rain" theme song turns into a hilarious, chaotic retelling of the infamous team-bus-fire in Auburn, complete with blown tires, smoke pouring into the cabin, players stampeding into a ditch, and the bus erupting in flames seconds after everyone escaped.
