In this episode James reviews the MLB Postseason leading up to the Championship series with previews and predictions on that and the World Series. Also some news on Albert Pujols possibly becoming the manager of the Angels as well as managerial moves that have happened so far. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

In hour 1, Matt Pauley talks about the latest news regarding Albert Pujols and his ongoing negotiations on potentially becoming the next manager of the Angels, as well preview the upcoming powerhouse matchup between Mizzou and Alabama.

We kick off with the tragic and mysterious passing of Arthur Jones at just 39—was it his heart? No one knows yet, but we pay our respects and dig into the early reports. Then it's a hard pivot to baseball bombshells: Albert Pujols is officially the Angels' manager for 2026, and we're already dreaming of dugout drama.Next up: Buffalo Bills are reclaiming their identity—not as New York's forgotten stepchild, but as Toronto's football cousin. We break down the geography, the fandom, and why Buffalo deserves its own damn spotlight.And yes, we go there: Taylor Swift's new album has lyrics that'll make you look at Travis Kelce's khakis a little differently. Redwood trees, magic wands, and “New Heights of manhood”? We unpack the poetic thirst trap and crown Kelce the unofficial Tri-Pod of the NFL.Finally, our Biggest Pickle of the week: Mark Sanchez. Stabbed in Indy, arrested at the hospital, and charged with a cocktail of misdemeanors that scream “big alcohol energy.” Was he trying to steal a car? Fight a delivery guy? We sort through the madness and try to make sense of the Sanchez spiral.

Chauncey and Thaddeus look at the Chargers increasing injuries, the thriving lions, and dive deep into the Rams win over the Colts and their choke job against the Niners. They praise Stafford and Puka as well as examine where the Rams need to improve going forward. Then they preview the rest of the week 5 action. Afterwards, they share their concerns over the Dodgers bullpen and who they'd like to see close games during the NLDS, as well as the prospect of Albert Pujols managing the Angels. Later, they review the penultimate episode of "Peacemaker" and also try and figure out where "Gen-V" goes. They quickly look at the trailers for "Frankenstein", "Zootopia 2", and "Jay Kelly. Finally, they share what they watched this week including "The Long Walk", "Task", "The Lowdown", "Slow Horses", "Only Murders in the Building", "Jeopardy!", "Abbott Elementary","Bob's Burgers", and more.LA PODFIDENTIAL is part of the LAFB PODCAST NETWORK Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

JR on the different quarterbacks starting in the NFL this week. | Greg Beacham from the AP joins JR to talk all things Rams football. | Multiple MLB manager positions have opened up. | Albert Pujols to manage the Angels? |

Bill opened today's show by explaining why Shedeur Sanders pantomiming answers to the media proves that he is not a franchise quarterback before discussing how much blame Deion Sanders deserves for his son not handling the moment with maturity. Bill then laid out the MLB history that is awaiting the Thursday playoff slate. Would You Rather was next as Bill decided between the Cubs losing in the playoffs or winning Bum of the Year and if he would rather be hot and bad at his job or ugly and good at his job. Hour two started with Substack's Dennis Dodd breaking down the Big Ten's interest in private equity and whether Bill Belichick or Dabo Swinney have more to lose this weekend. Buy or Sell was next as Bill answered if the Rams losing to the 49ers would be the worst loss of the NFL season, if AJ Brown is the most important Eagles offensive player and if Dodgers manager Dave Roberts made the right decision to make a pitching change in the middle of an at-bat. The show ended with Bill taking a call defending Ryan from being named Bum of the Year before wondering if it's socially acceptable to ask his friend if he's related to a famous actress.

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 In the wake of three managerial firings before Memorial Day, author and longtime baseball writer Scott Miller joins the Best Podcast in Baseball to discuss his new book, "Skipper: Why Baseball Managers Matter (and Always Will)". In his deeply reported work, Miller talks with managers, both current and past, to map the changing landscape of the role as front offices and analytics become more dominant and a perception grips the game that, as Miller writes it so well, lineups are being written for the manager not by the manager. With BPIB host and baseball writer Derrick Goold, Miller discusses the evolution of managers in the game from Sparky to Tony to Bochy, the traits that make a successful manager, and also how those traits have changed and adapted to a game driven more and more by data and run like the big business it is. The two baseball writers also explore what happens to game if, as one executive told Miller in his book, the hiring practices and analytics used in the game leave the majors "with a very homogenous group of managers." The managerial aspirations of Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina, and others are explored as a way to avoid that. Miller has covered baseball for the New York Times, Bleacher Report, and many other outlets, and his book shows the depth of his understanding in the game and access to some of the great managers. He watches a Yankee game at the Boone house as Aaron manages; he spends time with Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts on the job and with Hall of Fame-bound manager Dusty Baker at the vineyard. Miller also talks with former Cardinals manager Mike Matheny and gains welcome perspective on his tenure during a changing time for the role. Miller's book is available now. On Amazon. At a local independent bookstore like St. Louis' Left Bank Books. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a weekly production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.
