EPISODE SUMMARY In a span of ten years, from 1949 to 1958, the New York Yankees won the American League pennant nine times and the World Series seven times. The only year during that span the team failed to win the pennant was in 1954. Despite having an exceptional 103- 51 record, they finished eight games behind the first-place Cleveland Indians. Cleveland finished the season with 111 wins and only 43 losses. Their .721 winning percentage remains the all-time highest winning percentage in the American League. But their storybook season did not have a happy ending as they were swept four games to zero in the World Series by the New York Giants. But now, back to the Yankees......

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker discuss the plans to upgrade Rogers Centre (2:20) before getting into the gift-giving mood for the holiday season! Jeff and Kevin dole out presents tailored to the American League teams (9:51), National League teams (29:39), and the Toronto Blue Jays (42:08). Afterwards, they end the show with another edition of 'Barker's Back Leg Bits!' 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

After becoming regulars in the postseason, the Twins took a huge step backwards in 2021. The Bomba Squad was still alive as they drilled the second-most HRs in the American League. However, poor pitching was the main problem all year long. What's next for Minnesota? All this (and more) on today's episode.

I explain the lack of show on Friday and why there is a Sunday makeup. We then get into some Rule 5 chatter using the piece on the Athletic which highlights players. I talk about who is interesting and who might make sense for the Guardians if they opened a 40 man spot via trade. After discussing the American League players of note we then focus on National League players including the pitcher and hitter that are the most interesting players in the Rule 5 for me. Andres Melendez passed away on December 16, at the age of 20. He was acquired for Mark Mathias two years ago. He had a strong year at Lynchburg and was an ascending prospect in the Guardians system.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Kevin starts the episode by getting into the holiday spirit. Kevin starts with the AL East and breaks down the top three players on every teams wish list when we return on the other side of the work stoppage. The Red Sox, Yankees, and Blue Jays are all still looking for big-time upgrades before next season. Kevin then discusses the AL Central. The White Sox are the favorite once again but still need upgrades at some key spots for 2022. Carlos Rodon would be a welcome addition back but it will not be without competition from other teams in the division. Kevin wraps up the show talking about the AL West and how the power in this division is starting to turn. The Astros should be the favorite once again by the Rangers and the Mariners are looking to make their moves starting this offseason.

One of the first true greats of the American League, Eddie Collins rivals only Joe Morgan and Rogers Hornsby for the title of best second baseman ever. But, with attendance waning and salaries rising, Connie Mack found he was too valuable to keep 107 years ago this week, when he sold him to the White Sox for $50,000. Mike and Bill look back at the impressively consistent career of Collins, and ponder why, exactly, nobody seemed to like him much. Plus, happy birthday to Pink Hawley and Dick Donovan!

J.P. & Josh take an early offseason look at the activity and non-activity of their favorite Texas teams.  Before they get into the nitty-gritty (1:30) J.P. puts Josh on the spot for a spontaneous Texas high school football road trip. Then they break down (3:45) the early offseason storylines from the AL champs. Josh is ok with his team not spending before the lockdown shut things down. Dusty Baker is back (7:00) and you can't really say that's a bad move. But the big story is Carlos Correa not coming back (10:00). Who's the in-house candidate to fill that huge hole, or do they go shopping in the bargain bin? Justin Verlander is back (16:30) and that solidifies the Astros rotation up towards the top of the American League. J.P. is understandably giddy about his Rangers flurry of moves (21:45)! Marcus Semien got the ball rolling (24:20) and Corey Seager was soon to follow. He comes to Arlington as one of the best hitting shortstops in the game. Texas is speeding up the rebuilding process. Hopefully Jon Gray (32:55) won't be the last pitcher signed in the offseason. The front office (34:45) has earned fans trust adding midlevel starting pitching and this probably isn't the offseason to add front of the line pitching with the young starting pitching right around the corner. And let's not forget the addition of Kole Calhoun! (38:15) 'The Texas Porch' is available on Apple, Spotify, Google, Stitcher, Tune-in, I-Heart and all major podcast outlets.

The show kicked off with the Welcome Matt and the potential of the Canucks bringing back Gillis and Gilman as the President and GM. Jeff Paterson, our Canucks Reporter joined ahead of the game vs Ottawa. Jeff reacted to the Kevin Epp interview, where he blamed the media for the poor on ice performance of the team. Talked about the potential of back to back wins for the 2nd time this season.  Darren Dreger joined Matt and Blake and started off by summing up his moustache game, through November and where he stood in his company podium. Talked about the Canucks expressing interest in Jake De Brusk. The issue right now is the Marchand suspension and Covid outbreak in their American League franchise. St. Louis has always tried to get him. Maybe the market has softened on Boston's demands but it'll be a few pieces. Doesn't know if Vancouver has been interested in him before. Would be surprised if they weren't. His playoff stats stand out. There is some accountability that needs to be here from Jake De Brusk. He isn't the player his prospect card had him out to be. Says the team should have refined his skillset a little bit more. Everybody should accept the blame. There is going to have to be a contract that goes the other way, as BOS is a cap team. Don Sweeny has an uphill battle for his client. Talked about the Habs house-cleaning. Hasn't heard anything directly connecting those executives to the Canucks. Thinks Bergevin has earned a break. He will welcome the recharge. Talked about other potential GM candidates for MTL. Talked about what he is hearing on Jim Rutherford. Not a lot, which is sad. JR has earned the right to be selective and has turned down opportunities. Doesn't know what they were but probably advisory roles. You're not going to peer over someones shoulders with his resume. Would take a GM job is it was the right fit.   The new Head Coach of the Vancouver Whitecaps joined Matt and Blake a day after signing on as the new permanent man for the job. Talked about how excited he is for Jan 15th to come. Talked about what he thought his chances were of of getting the full time show. Says after the win against MUFC he knew he had a solid chance. He knows what he is good at. Talked about his leadership style. Talked about how the team will improve next year. Talked about how he celebrated with his family.

Today we go over some of the American League teams and their needs this offseason. We particularly focus on the contenders and up-and-comers like the Yankees, Tigers, Mariners, White Sox and much more. Thanks for listening!

Clint Frazier could be exactly the type of player who could blossom for a rebuilding team. The Mets hired a dud of a GM and the Astros still feel strange in the American League.

Liam Hendriks was Rick Hahn's big free-agent signing last offseason figuring his new closer was the missing piece. Leading the American League in Saves and winning AL Reliever of the Year again, Hendriks lived up to his end. However, was Hendriks the missing piece?

The International Olympic Committee has announced a new framework for transgender and intersex athletes this week. In part, the guidelines say no athlete has an inherent advantage just because of physical appearance, gender or intersex identities. The guidelines also move away from using testosterone levels alone to determine eligibility. And we hear the personal story of Sofie Lovern, a Mexican American standup comedian from Oakland, California, who converted to Islam as a young adult. Plus, Shohei Ohtani has been called the Japanese Babe Ruth. Now, the Los Angeles Angels' player has won the American League's MVP award, making him the second Japanese-born player to score the big win.

The results are in! On today's edition of the Locked On Padres podcast, Javier reacts to the results of the voting for the American League and National League MVP award. He breaks down Fernando Tatis Jr. finishing 3rd, Bryce Harper winning the award, why he thinks Juan Soto should've finished lower, and gives a shoutout to Shohei Ohtani having one of the most beautiful seasons in history. After also breaking down the Cy Young voting a little, Javi reacts to a mock trade proposal that was sent his way via the comment section on YouTube! That's right! A good YouTube comment!

Sports with Rod 11-19-2021 …Minds will be blown if we get a Patriots – Buccaneers Super Bowl …It was unanimous in the American League and that Parrot ain't no Rat.

In the final hour of Game Play, Matt Cauz talks to First Up co-host Aaron Korolnek about betting on the CFL and the New England Patriots facing the Atlanta Falcons in Thursday Night Football. Then Matt is joined by Host of "A Numbers Game" on VSiN, Gill Alexander, to discuss what major award winners in the American League have done to some prominent bookmakers.

It's not the tandem most people envisioned at the beginning of the season, but Robbie Ray and Corbin Burnes are the 2021 American League and National League Cy Young award winners, respectively. Both pitchers have improved significantly in their primes. Justin Verlander is re-signing with the Astros on a 1-year, $25 million deal. All this on today's episode.

Danny Duffy will forever be a part of Kansas City Royals lore with his contributions to the 2014 American League champions and 2015 World Series champions. The Southern California native became a Kansas Citian, to the point where, when rumors swirled that he might be traded one off-season, said, “Bury me a Royal.” He stayed with the franchise several more years before finally being traded at the 2021 trade deadline. But wherever his career takes him from here, he says that Kansas City will always hold a special place in his heart. The feeling is mutual.

The Atlanta Braves have defied the odds and won the 2021 World Series! Jack has three friends that are lifelong Braves fans call in to share their thoughts and break down the World Series. Back on June 20 when the Braves were 5.5 games out of first place in the NL East with a losing record, former Bachelorette contestant and current golf pro Garrett Powell predicted on this show that the Braves would get to the World Series. He calls in for his victory lap, and makes his way-too-early 2022 World Series predictions with Jack (0:00 - 25:05)! Survivor: South Pacific star and fan favorite of the Jack Vita Show Albert Destrade flew to Houston and was on-hand for Game 6 of the World Series. He joins Jack via phone to recap and break down all things 2021 World Series, and he even has his pal Branden Shaw chime in (25:05 - 1:08:20). They also ask if the National League was better than the American League this year, discuss Jorge Soler becoming the second-ever Cuban-born World Series MVP, Max Fried's stellar game 6 outing, the ending of pitchers hitting in Major League Baseball, and how National League baseball can be preserved in the future (Jack has an idea!). Finally, Survivor: Africa contestant and friend of Brian and Ronnie Snitker, Teresa "T-Bird" Cooper, visits the Jack Vita Show for the second straight week, this time to celebrate the city of Atlanta's first championship since 1995 (1:08:20 - END)! Log on to jackvita.com for more content!

Noah Yingling from RoxPile joins the podcast to discuss the best odds for the Rockies to win an end-of-year award, plus why Ryan McMahon may not get his recognition in the Gold Glove Award voting. The fans in Texas - along with the beat writers - are very interested in acquiring Trevor Story, but another American League team could also be a sleeper this offseason. "Why Ryan McMahon will (probably) be robbed of his first Gold Glove Award" by Noah Yingling

Jack welcomes back Chad Vautherine to the show to recap the weekend's sports action, including a World Series update, and how the Braves have taken a 3-1 lead in the World Series (0:00 - 24:25). Is this the last dance season for the Astros' core, as we know it? If the Braves run away with this series, is it indicative that the National League was better than the American League this year? Did the NL have more true contenders than the AL did? Then, they shift their attention to college football and get you caught up on all the weekend's scores, stories and news (24:25 - END). Jack and Chad provide their updated top 25 rankings, share their displeasure with Iowa and Pittsburgh (and the ACC for that matter), and talk Michigan State's Kenneth Walker entering the Heisman conversation, the TCU Horned Frogs parting ways with longtime head coach Gary Patterson, Michigan falling to Michigan State, Cincinnati's chances at the College Football Playoff, the best from the group of five conferences, and more!

Now that the 2021 season is over for our beloved Boston Red Sox we recap their surprising run at the American League pennant, a campaign in which they unfortunately fell just a couple wins short of another trip to the World Series.   And although this episode was recorded early on a Saturday  morning, we also sample a delicious locally brewed Session IPA.  Give it a listen!

The Twins were set to feature one of the better outfields in the American League in Byron Buxton, Max Kepler and Alex Kirilloff in 2021. Buxton & Kepler are widely regarded as two of the best defenders at their positions with immense offensive upside, while Kirilloff carried sky-high hopes as a seasoned top prospect. How did it go and how did these three grade out? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

It's time to take a deep dive into the Los Angeles Angels division, the American League West! The Super Halo Bros. discuss the Angels' rivals and how their 2021 MLB seasons panned out, but before we jump in, Mike and Jon discuss the latest Halo Headlines. First, Matt Swanson is out as the Angels' Scouting Director, and the Bros. ask whether this is a good move for the team and what it might mean moving forward. (4:00) Then, as the San Diego Padres seek a new manager, could former Halos skipper Mike Scioscia be the right fit for the superstar team down the 5 freeway? (13:01) Then, it's time to take a look at "How the AL West Was Won," as Mike and Jon recap each of the seasons for the Texas Rangers, (18:09) the Seattle Mariners, (26:11) the Oakland A's, (33:01) and the AL West Champions and current American League representatives in the World Series, the Houston Astros!

Dusty Baker, who guided the Astros to the American League pennant, is in the World Series for the first time in 19 years, since the Angels came from behind to win Games 6 and 7, his swan song as a Giant. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Adam Jones and Christian Arcand open a Thursday night show with the accusations brought on the Astros for whistling before pitches. Jones brings up how the Red Sox have their own history of cheating so why do fans care so much?

It's been a couple weeks at this point, but the Yankees' 2021 season is over. It lasted just one game longer than the rest of the American League playoff field, as the Red Sox clobbered them in the Wild Card Game at Fenway Park. It was a bummer, but of course not all that surprising given how the year had progressed. Kunj and Andrew didn't return to just talk about the Wild Card loss, though. The big news from yesterday was that Aaron Boone would be returning to the Yankees' managerial helm in 2022 on a new three-year contract, albeit without his hitting coaches and Phil Nevin. Regardless of how frustrating the Yankees looked in 2021, this always appeared to be the most likely conclusion. Hal Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman seemed too fond of Boone to let him go. The hosts work through their thoughts on the non-move & coaching updates, roll eyes at some of Steinbrenner and Cashman's comments, discuss the injury updates (Aaron Hicks comeback szn?), and muse on some of the front office concerns. It does sound like the Yankees will be pursuing a shortstop in free agency, and though the field isn't great, Gary Sánchez's days behind the plate might be numbered.

Brett Phillips is currently an outfielder with the Tampa Bay Rays. He was selected by the Houston Astros in the 6th round of the 2012 MLB Amateur Draft. Five years later, he made his MLB debut on June 5, 2017 with the Milwaukee Brewers. After two seasons with the Brewers, he was traded to Kansas City, where he spent three seasons. In August of 2020, he was once again traded to the Rays and found himself in a pennant race that ultimately saw Tampa win the American League championship. In October 2020, on the biggest stage at the World Series, Brett Phillips became a baseball hero. In Game 4 against the Dodgers, Phillips found himself at bat in the bottom of the 9th inning with 2 runners on and his team down 1 run. He would line a single to right field and ultimately both runners would score on the hit, giving the Rays a Game 4 World Series 8-7 win. Today on the podcast, we welcome back Brett Phillips to tell us about his World Series moment, why baseball is fun, how his faith in God leads to the joy that he brings each day on the field and what his MLB All-Star Game correspondent experience was like.  --- Receive our 10-day Sports Spectrum Devotional written by professional athletes for FREE when you sign up for our Sports Spectrum Weekly Email Newsletter.
