Podcasts about American League

It's impossible to talk about the American League's early years without talking about Clark Griffith, the former pitcher and manager who, this week 106 years ago, finally completed his quest to become a big league owner. Griffith's Senators would eventually become a laughingstock, and his legacy complicated by his complicity in perpetuating the color line, but his early years were filled with success. Mike and Bill look back on one of the longest baseball lives, a 75 year span in which Griffith was an integral part of the game, for better and for worse. Plus, happy birthday to Pat Hentgen and Jack Crooks! And farewell to Félix Torres and Bill Hepler. 

Post-Gazette Pirates beat writers Jason Mackey and Colin Beazley react to Paul Skenes winning the National League Cy Young award this week, alongside American League winner Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers. This show is presented by FanDuel. They address not just why Skenes was the obvious choice despite the Pirates' poor season overall; Skenes' comments about his desire to win in Pittsburgh alongside manager Don Kelly and teammates including Oneil Cruz, Bryan Reynolds, Mitch Keller and others; and Skenes' and GM Ben Cherington's dismissal of trade rumors this week that suggested Skenes wants to be dealt to the New York Yankees.

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani won his fourth Most Valuable Player Award, his third in a row, and his second straight in the National League since joining the Dodgers. And for the fourth time, the vote was unanimous. Meanwhile, in the American League, Yankees captain Aaron Judge won his third MVP and second in a row, narrowly beating out Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh for the AL prize. Jeff Snider is here to talk about the awards, the voting, and whether the whole process might be a little too predictable. (And then he sticks around for another hour taking viewer questions about all sorts of Dodgers and non-Dodgers stuff.) Share your thoughts in the comments section! Tube in all offseason long!

We can't stop thinking about this exciting matchup on Sunday! Coaches, MVP-caliber QB's, hot defenses and more; the Seahawk/Rams game has everything you're looking for in a big game and there are so many aspects to cover. Will Ernest Jones be ready to go against his former team? :30- It's MVP day and while race is close, Cal Raleigh SHOULD win the award, but will he? :45- NFL Notes: Cooper Kupp faces his old team, the LA Rams on Sunday and he says it's not about him at all, it's just about getting the W which is such a Cooper thing to say. Can he play a major role on Sunday? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dan Wilson did not win AL Manager of the Year last night, he finished 3rd behind Schneider and Vogt, who won for the 2nd straight year. Did the voters get it right? Are today's successful managers and coaches coddling players? Are players too soft? Or have the Managers and Coaches just figured out how to communicate in a more gentle way and still get the message across? :30- MacDonald vs McVay: The Defensive guru vs the Offensive whiz, a battle of the Mc's. Both QB's are getting MVP chatter, both Offenses are top 5 and both defenses are top 5 as well. NFL power rankings have both teams 1 & 2 this week and while it's not a make or break game, a win would be a huge boost for either team. :45- The CFP rankings saw some shakeups in week 2; what stood out and some big matchups this weekend could have a BIG effect on next week's rankings.

Is LSU really trying to get out of paying Brian Kelly? :30- The Ol' Judge is here and it's time to debate! - Dan Wilson will and should win AL Manager of the Year. - John Schneider and Mike MacDonald are the hottest GM/Head Coach combo in the NFL right now. - The Bengals should just sit Burrow for the remainder of the year at this point and call it a lost season. - It is perfectly awesome for someone to have already enjoyed a glass of holiday nog. :45- We close out the show with one last thing!

Guest: Shane Bieber It only took three days for the most shocking move of the off-season to happen.  Against all odds, Shane Bieber exercised his $16 million (US) player option and is staying with the Blue Jays for the 2026 season.  The 30-year-old, a two-time all-star who won the Cy Young award in 2020, loved his two months as a Blue Jay and has unfinished business here, so he's sticking around to try to run it back.  We spoke to Bieber after the Jays clinched the American League pennant, beating Seattle in Game 7 of the ALCS. You'll hear that conversation, in which he talks about how much he loves the Blue Jays, plus analysis of the move on this bonus episode of Deep Left Field!

BAM! 2025 - coming to you live on location. Yep, October is more recognisable for being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but while Blindness Awareness Month is less familiar to some, it sounds better, more straightforward, rolling off the tongue as acronym than BCAM. This week on Outlook, with the start of a new month…October, we're highlighting BAM even though, we always say, every month is BAM for us. On this BAM Mixed Bag episode sister/co-host Kerry is streaming live and on route, but luckily makes it back to “the flat” still within the first half of the show, a major Uk cellphone service is down which made it difficult to get a cab back from the furniture warehouse. But luckily, freezer deal was found (with help from Barry's assistant AI as he terms his co-processor) and service from the store's sales guy was excellent (lovely British chap) who didn't necessarily know how to assist two blind people, yet was all the things we ask anyone to be when interacting with the public. BAM getting off to a pretty good start after last week's nightmare (see previous Outlook for more on what not to do. It's really not that much different from how to assist anyone else, just be willing to listen to our guidance, as we know what we need as blind people). It's Thanksgiving for brother/co-host Brian back in Canada, but it's also Columbus Day in the States (Indigenous Peoples Day in approximately 30 states now) and we're discussing this update/correction on which one is preferable, along with celebrating our lovely mother's birth, and thankfully the cab finally arriving to take Kerry and BF Barry home is hardly noticeable in the background. We're comparing Canada and The States as baseball rivalries intensify in October. Some things are, as “American as apple pie” while we're talking thankfulness (which should be as obvious as “Apple cake” with details of what Historian Heather Cox Richardson says about Columbus Day's origins, years of colonial subjugation, and the difference in definitions that can become glaringly clear in 100 years. Outlook On Radio Western stands on the foundation of Diversity and we're talking definitions of all of this, plus on things like BAM or World Sight Day, from orgs like the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) or the Foundation Fighting Blindness (FFB) and using a daytime TV infomercial about “blind children in poorer countries” and how helpless images make it seem. While no country should think itself above another like how even the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) tries to raise money by using Canada's blind people and cute images of guide dogs to elicit pity and donations. The NFB thinks of BAM more from the standpoint of independence which often, to them means employment, but though we reject another definition that's all about the patronising angle of everything we do as inspirational, we lay out the harmful impacts of something like the messaging from World Sight Day's promotional material. While the International Agency for the prevention of blindness (the IAPB) is focusing on eye health around the world, some organisations and charities and nonprofits go about fundraising in reckless ways. Brian is riding the fader live in the studio while Kerry was out tracking down monkey nuts (but shhh Mom is listening), returning by cab and sharing how drivers often struggle (as sighted as sighted can be) to find the address, Kerry foreshadowing a recent struggle with such things plus one of Marlee Matlin's similar experiences with those of us who have our sense of hearing which Kerry heard on a recent audio description project. That's why our mom recently painted Kerry's garage door bright red and put up a huge house number, Barry in the process of doing something similar for those drivers who might as well be blind behind the wheel, Brian using the example of Uber drivers trying to find the door into the University Community Centre (UCC) where we record our show out of. We use the Pin The Tail On The Donkey example of disorientation to make the point that these are just more additions of those tropes that are harmful to us blind people and those that are simply the truth of our current reality. Multi sensory, multi media, and interactive - from a recent work experience she had doing cultural consulting and quality control for Toronto's version of the Nuit Blanche festival, she then tells of another Canadian connection (as we call it) when out during a Saturday pub night for many in neighbouring Belfast. Instead Kerry and Barry chose to attend a local boy's return performance, Brian Kennedy (Canada has Cory Hart while Northern Ireland has BK), to the classic Black Box Theatre as he played some Joni Mitchell covers including “Woodstock,” (not the same Woodstock but still). So on this one Brian with an “I” and Kerry with a “y” are talking the Dominos that have to fall in our lives with dealing with how sometimes sighted people can and do suck which adds up the blocks of frustration and fatigue as Kerry shares a bit about a recent visitor experience at Belfast's Titanic Museum and how baseball radio broadcasts put us on an equal playing field (baseball metaphor there for you). BAM! It gets someone's attention at least and we're thankful for our mother, apple cake instead of pumpkin pie, and the Toronto Bluejays beating The Yankees and moving on to take the American League championship, from east to west and north to south - BAM begins.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): It wasn't long ago that the Orioles were shaping up to be the next American League powerhouse. So, what happened? Bradfo is joined by Eric Arditti of Barstool Sports to reflect on the path that led the O's to this point and why there is still hope heading into 2026. With the World Series going on, it's a fascinating example of how quickly the best laid plans of an organization can go awry and what kind of adjustments are needed.

Send us a textA juggernaut from Hollywood meets a nation's heartbeat under a closed roof. We break down Dodgers vs Blue Jays from every angle: the tactical edges, the noise under the dome, and the human details that tilt a World Series. Our panel calls the series with conviction—some see LA's depth ending it in five, others ride Toronto's underdog momentum to a seventh-game win—and we explain exactly what would have to happen on the mound and in the sixth through eighth innings for either script to play out.We get candid about managers. Dave Roberts earns credit for more than payroll—buy-in, role clarity, and handling stars through a six-man rotation. Terry Francona remains the gold standard of culture and adaptability, while Kevin Cash proves how far elite process can carry a smaller payroll. That leadership debate threads through game management: fast hooks, pinch-hit timing, and managing leverage with traffic on the bases.Time zones and TV ratings matter, but the math shifts when an entire country rallies behind one team. We talk start times, customs, and travel fatigue, then weigh how Toronto's dome and crowd can create a pressure chamber if the Jays score early. LA can still quiet any park with one crooked inning, yet there's a different urgency when a city expects to be here versus a nation that hasn't celebrated a title since the early 90s.We also look ahead. The Dodgers' machine seems built for annual runs, but Toronto's path—smart additions, a healthy core, and a tighter American League—may keep them in the chase next year. Finally, we pick where we'd sit for this series: LA's star-studded seats or Toronto's chest-thumping roar inside the dome.If you're into smart baseball talk with strong opinions and real stakes, hit play now.

MLB Network's Jon Morosi joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker (1:11) to discuss how the Blue Jays match up against the L.A. Dodgers, the differences in types of pitchers and hitters the Milwaukee Brewers have compared to the American League champions, John Schneider's bullpen usage, why Chris Bassitt should get more run in the World Series, and projecting Bo Bichette's deployment. Then, National Baseball Hall of Famer and former Blue Jay Frank Thomas stops by (29:41) to chat about winning MLB's Comeback of the Year and George Springer potentially winning the same award, living up to the expectations bestowed on a player like Vladimir Guerrero Jr., if home field advantage plays a factor in the Fall Classic, if Shohei Ohtani can pitch and hit throughout his MLB career and his memories of his time with the Blue Jays. 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.

Guests: Max Scherzer, John Schneider, Jose Bautista      As we await Friday night's opener of the World Series, the first in Toronto in over three decades, we look back at the post-game party after the Blue Jays thrilling win in Game 7 of the American League championship series Monday night.   Max Scherzer, never at a loss for energy, nearly blows the decibel meter on our system as he raves about the team he chose because, as he said in January, he wanted to win the World Series, and about his fellow elder statesmen, George Springer, Chris Bassitt and Kevin Gausman (each one at least five years his junior).   John Schneider, in his third full season as Jays' manager but his 24th year in the organization, wells up as he talks about coaches Don Mattingly, Pete Walker and DeMarlo Hale, and wishes the Seattle Mariners a good winter vacation. And a raspy-voiced Jose Bautista joins us to talk about witnessing Springer's magical home run, as so many of us witnessed his a decade ago. All that plus the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca!

In The Update Journal, it's Politics, Pennants, and Pumpkins. It's a Monday packed with drama both political and personal. First, the race to City Hall takes a sharp detour as Mayor Adams suddenly exits the stage, shaking up what was already a crowded field. Then, the Mets' season of promise ends in heartbreak, capping off one of the most disappointing collapses in team history. Over in the American League, the AL Central finishes in pure chaos, with the Guardians completing one of baseball's most improbable comebacks. And finally — to lighten things up — what you didn't see behind the camera on our Halloween prep was… well, let's just say there were props, pumpkins, and one mad professor who forgot where he left the fog machine.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, we continue our coverage of The Road To City Hall. With just 36 days to go until the general election, we're going to guarantee ourselves a new mayor. Mayor Adams ended his struggling reelection campaign, an acknowledgment that he was no longer a credible contender after a year of scandal and political turmoil. Also, we'll talk about from recalling his “shorty” in Queens to making heart hands with a robot, some of Adams' most ridiculous moments.Thousands of runners retraced a fallen New York City firefighter's desperate race to the twin towers Sunday to honor the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks – and raise over $1 million for survivors and their families. And in Michigan, an ex-Marine smashed a pickup into a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints church, opened fire and set the building ablaze during a crowded Sunday service and then was fatally shot by police. At least four people were killed and eight wounded, and authorities were searching the building ruins for more victims.

   It's a numbers game on KKHI today as gas prices, arrests, deportations and polls all make Trump look like, well, Trump.  This is getting so good.    A famous singer complains about the White House posting an AI video of the president in action set to the singer's song.   Pro Football Focus has been the most respected football stat operation in America for years but it may have real trouble ahead.  Wait until you hear the Mahomes stat from Sunday's game that should just end the stat forever.    Texas Tech has pulled the plug on tortilla tossing at games.  But with the stupid rule the Big 12 has, and no separate rule in place at KU's stadium, why wouldn't KSU students bring thousands of tortillas this week and toss them all over the place after the Jayhawks' disgraceful scandal in Lubbock two weeks ago?    The World Series is set after a dramatic game seven in the American League.  Former KU guard Christian Braun hits the jackpot and our Final Final is a famous actor we like talking about the role of a lifetime he missed.

Ailish Forfar and Justin Cuthbert react to the Blue Jays reaching a World Series for the first time in 30+ years. They react to their own viewing experiences and discuss what it means to the city. Then, Sportsnet's Chris Leroux joins the show following his call of the game to discuss how he celebrated the Blue Jays winning the pennant, George Springer's electric home run, how both managers handled the pitching changes and how the Jays will handle their pitching staff in the World Series. Then, ahead of Brad Marchand's return to his old stomping grounds in Boston, Fluto Shinzawa of the Athletic joins the show to discuss the reception that Marchand will get from Bruins fans, his legacy in Boston, If Marchand could find himself back in Boston in one way or another down the road, and much more. Then, Ailish and Justin continue to celebrate the Jays winning the American League and discuss where George Springer's HR ranks amongst the biggest Toronto sports moments in recent memory, and much more. 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 affiliate.

Guests: Game 7 hero George Springer, Game 7 closer Jeff Hoffman   For the first time in 32 years, the World Series is coming to Toronto.   The Blue Jays won the pennant, dropping the Seattle Mariners 4-3 in a winner-take-all Game 7 of the American League championship series on a dramatic three-run home run by George Springer, bringing them back from a 3-1 deficit.   After Springer went deep, Chris Bassitt pitched a perfect eighth and Jeff Hoffman struck out the side in order in the ninth to secure the victory, sending the Jays to the Fall Classic for the first time since 1993.   Both Springer and Hoffman join us from the post-game celebrations to talk about the historic win and this incredible Jays team, one that picked up its 101st win of the season on Monday night and will now take on the reigning champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers, in a World Series that begins at Rogers Centre on Friday night.   The mailbag will be back tomorrow, so send your thoughts to deepleftfield@thestar.ca.

When Shohei Ohtani hit the 50-50 milestone last season in Miami, many thought it was one of the greatest single performances in baseball history. Little did they know, Ohtani would go on to deliver an even more impressive feat in a series-clinching game that sent his Los Angeles Dodgers back to the World Series, just one year after winning the Commissioner's Trophy.On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down what might be the most impressive game ever played in baseball, in which Ohtani pitched six shutout innings, struck out ten, allowed zero earned runs, and hit three home runs en route to the Dodgers clinching the National League pennant. Then the guys talk about the Milwaukee Brewers' unfortunate showing against a juggernaut like the Dodgers.Also in this episode, Jake and Jordan preview the upcoming Game 7 that will decide the ALCS between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners.

Guests: Blue Jays infielders Andres Gimenez and Isiah Kiner-Falefa       The Blue Jays are the closest they've been to the World Series since 1993 thanks to their 6-2 win over the Seattle Mariners that evened up the American League championship series at three wins apiece.   In this playoff bonus episode of Deep Left Field, we take you through Sunday's big win with two of the key cogs – Andres Gimenez, who was involved in all three consecutive inning-ending double plays (two with the bases loaded) that the Jays turned in the third, fourth and fifth innings, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who had a hand in two of them and also drove in a run with an infield single.   As well, we open the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca to hear your thoughts on all things Blue Jays as they move toward their first post-season Game 7 in 40 years.    A trip to the World Series for the first time in over three decades is on the line Monday night, and Deep Left Field is here with you every step of the way.

Guest: Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman   For the first time this year, the Blue Jays will take the field knowing that if they lose, their season is over.   The Jays dug themselves a huge hole by losing the first two games of the American League championship series at home against the Seattle Mariners, but they went up to the Pacific Northwest and evened up the series before their gut-wrenching loss in Game 5.   In today's playoff bonus episode of Deep Left Field, Jays' closer Jeff Hoffman joins us to describe watching Friday's eighth-inning meltdown from the bullpen, and what he had to say to Brendon Little and Seranthony Dominguez after the fact. We also open the mailbag at deepleftfield@the star.ca to answer your Jays' questions and read your comments. Make sure you keep sending them in after Game 6!

Guest: Blue Jays outfielder Myles Straw   Game Four of the American League championship series is going to go down in Blue Jays history because of one singular moment – John Schneider's mound visit in the fifth inning in which Max Scherzer basically barked his manager off the mound.   In this playoff bonus episode of Deep Left Field, we'll break down that "conversation" for you, and hear from both Scherzer and Schneider, as well as a couple of innocent bystanders.   Outside of that moment, the win for the Jays was massive. Scherzer's unexpected performance on the mound, another huge hit from Andres Gimenez, Addison Barger's incredible performance in right field in a game he expected to start at third base, and the Jays are back on even footing in a series that looked lost when they hopped on the plane to Seattle.   Myles Straw joins us to talk about that mound moment as well as the resilience of this team that we've seen all season long and, as always, we'll open up the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca.

Hosts Joe Maddon and Tom Verducci are picking their favorite parts of the LCS series we're watching. The Dodgers have become the team that everyone was expecting all season. Tom explains what the Brewers need to change and the tough task they're facing. Joe looks back at his playoff experience and talks about how teams are handling these moments and the players that deliver. Has Tom changed his opinion on who is the MVP in baseball? Plus, some thoughts on a surprise managerial opening in baseball! The Book of Joe Podcast is a production of iHeart Radio. #fsrSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

October baseball is delivering everything fans could ask for. Blake Snell's masterpiece — eight innings, one hit, ten strikeouts — set the tone as the Dodgers took control of the NLCS. In the American League, Jorge Polanco and Julio Rodríguez continue to fuel Seattle's push toward the franchise's first World Series appearance. The energy and emotion of October are in full swing. From there, the focus shifts to Detroit, where the Tigers' dream season ended in heartbreak. Fifteen innings in Seattle, eight total runs in five games, and another postseason exit that raised difficult questions about what comes next. In Episode 110 of Tablesetters, Steve and Devin welcome back Jordan Hall, host of Eat 'em Up: A Detroit Tigers Podcast, for an in-depth look at the offseason's defining storyline: Tarik Skubal's future. After a Cy Young caliber season with 195⅓ innings pitched, a 2.21 ERA, 241 strikeouts, and a .677 win rate in his starts, Detroit faces a pivotal decision. Should they extend their ace, explore a trade, or wait and risk free agency in 2026 with Scott Boras leading negotiations? The answer could shape the franchise for years to come. The conversation also examines A.J. Hinch's leadership, Detroit's late season collapse, and the continued growth of Riley Greene and Kevin McGonigle as key pieces in the club's next chapter.

Send us a textDid you stay up late to watch game one of the ALCS Sunday night the 12th? #Mariners and #BlueJays both entered the American League in 1977. Toronto has won 2 World Series but the Mariners have never won a pennant. Will they get past the Jays who have the home field advantage? We make our points and tell you why one of the teams may win easily!   Mariners got by the #Tigers winning a 15 inning classic in game 5. George Kirby hopes he never has to face Kerry Carpenter again! But the M's had Leo Rivas and Jorge Polanco to rescue their season although Cal Raleigh did all he could. Jays kind of bludgeoned #Yankees who had pitching and fielding issues despite getting a terrific performance from odds-on favorite for ALMVP Aaron Judge.  #Dodgers vanquished #Phillies. Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner just didn't do enough. Neither team hit all that well and it was defense and coming through in the clutch that led L.A. to the 4-game victory.  Mookie's wheel play in game 2 was amazing and just perfect. Orion Kerkering's brain fart to lose game 5 and the series was unfortunate. We feel bad for him.  Now Dodgers get the #Brewers who subdued the #Cubs also in 5 games. Brew Crew did the little things a little better and home field meant everything as the home team won every game. Will L.A. overcome Brewer mojo? Listen/watch us take that on!  Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid! Check them out on Spotify or Apple Music!  Please subscribe to our podcast and thanks for listening!

George Edward "Rube" Waddell (October 13, 1876 – April 1, 1914) was an American pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB). A left-hander, he played for 13 years, with the Louisville Colonels, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Chicago Orphans in the National League, as well as the Philadelphia Athletics and St. Louis Browns in the American League. Born in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and raised in Prospect, Pennsylvania, Waddell was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1946. Waddell is best remembered for his highly eccentric behavior, and for being a remarkably dominant strikeout pitcher in an era when batters were expert at making contact. He had an excellent fastball, a sharp-breaking curveball, a screwball, and superb control; his strikeout-to-walk ratio was almost 3-to-1, and he led the major leagues in strikeouts for six consecutive years.
