Podcasts about antoan richardson

We're hitting everything from roster upheaval to coaching changes. The McNeil trade chatter is heating up, Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz are back on the market after opting out, and both Jeremy Hefner and Antoan Richardson are gone as the Mets overhaul the entire coaching infrastructure. We'll break down Carson Benge's legit shot at becoming the centerfielder of the future, why Lindor needs a real backup shortstop, which minor leaguers enter true put-up-or-shut-up mode, and what the pitching staff has to look like if 2026 isn't going to be another September disaster.We'll also celebrate the newly announced Mets Hall of Fame Class of 2026: Lee Mazzilli, Bobby Valentine, and Carlos Beltrán. And yes — we'll dig into the big question: is Cooperstown next for Beltrán, and how soon? Some of us think he's in. Some of us (cough Farace) think the voters love to make people wait just to feel important.From free-agent fits to bullpen reconstruction to trying to understand why this team collapses every September, we're laying out the whole roadmap. Expect Farace's rants, Rodriguez's spin, and Joe chiming in from the wall every time someone mentions “this should be easy” — because nothing with this franchise is ever easy.It's the season wrap-up, the therapy session, and the first steps toward 2026. Buckle up. #Mets #PiitB# PutItInTheBooks #ThePutItInTheBooksShow

The Atlanta Braves have a new manager and it ended up being a familiar face. The club announced the hiring off long-time bench coach Walt Weiss this week, setting off a slew of changes to the coaching staff. Grant McAuley discusses the hiring of Weiss, how he fits into what the Braves are looking for, the club's decision to keep it internal despite a month-long search, how the continuity Weiss provides should help Atlanta get back to winning, and some of the changes that have already taken place on the coaching staff. Pitching coach Rick Kranitz, first base coach Tom Goodwin, and third base coach Fredi Gonzalez are out, while former Mets pitching coach Jeremy Hefner and first base coach Antoan Richardson were hired.

Do the Mets have egg on their face after Antoan Richardson left for Atlanta?

On the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo talk old and new coaches, plus the Mets forever search for starting pitching. The guys cover the likely departure of first base coach Antoan Richardson, the addition of hitting coach Troy Snitker, and also take a quick look back at the chase and non-addition of Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Connor and Joe then dive into the free agent market for starting pitchers, considering such options as Dylan Cease, Framber Valdez, Ranger Suarez and more.

BT & Sal go off the rails following Carl Banks' scathing criticism of Dexter Lawrence, questioning if the $60M man is hurt or just "lazy" after getting paid. The guys debate if Banks was right to publicly rip a Giants star. Then, the discussion shifts to the Mets' coaching turnover, as Antoan Richardson moves on—is the loss of the "best first base coach in baseball" a sign of deeper trouble? Finally, the segment ends with a round of Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth featuring Hoff, addressing three fiery claims: The Knicks will have five players finish in the top 20 with minutes played again this season. (Knicks Minutes) Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber will both be returning to the Phillies next season. (Phillies' Future) The Rangers will find a way to trade Panarin and/or Mika Zibanejad. (Ranger Rebuild)

BT & Sal launch a blistering critique of the Yankees and Mets, arguing they are light years behind the Dodgers' aggressive, 'win-now' blueprint. They torch New York's ownership for their "financial fear," demanding both teams stop settling and "go Dodgers-Deep" by trading for stars like Tarik Skubal and Kyle Tucker. The show then erupts over Giants legend Carl Banks' scorching public criticism of Dexter Lawrence, questioning if the $90M All-Pro is hurt, "lazy" after getting paid, or if opponents truly "don't respect" him anymore. They debate the impact of Banks' verbal fire on the Big Cat's effort. The hosts also discuss the Mets' puzzling loss of first base coach Antoan Richardson, rumors of a Kayvon Thibodeaux trade, and end the hour with a fiery round of "Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth" covering the Knicks' minutes, the Phillies' stars, and a potential Rangers' rebuild via trading Panarin/Zibanejad.

BT & Sal lock horns over the news that Antoan Richardson, the Mets' first base coach, may leave after contract talks stalled due to his desire for an expanded role. Sal passionately defends Richardson, calling him the "best first base coach in baseball" and highlighting his historic 89% stolen base success rate with the Mets, a stat Juan Soto directly credited him for. BT, however, dismisses the hysteria, arguing that a first base coach is irrelevant to a team's success and calling the reaction "blown out of proportion." The debate also touches on whether Richardson's base-stealing genius is simply a temporary "exploitation" of the current defensive ineptitude and the larger issue of Carlos Mendoza being left isolated as the entire Mets' coaching staff shifts around him.

Juan Soto recently became the 5th Met to record a 30/30 season, far surpassing his previous career high of 12 stolen bases in a season. Pat McCarthy sat down with Mets first base coach Antoan Richardson and spoke about Juan's evolution into a base stealer this season, and how he has been able to dramatically increase his stolen base total.

Mets first base coach Antwan Richardson sits down with Pat McCarthy and discusses Jeff McNeil's transition towards playing center field, Juan Soto's improvement in right field, and how the team approaches a pitcher when it comes to baserunning.

The San Francisco Giants finally announced their new coaching staff under new manager Bob Melvin tonight. At least most of it, anyway. The big ticket additions: Ryan Christenson will be Melvin's bench coach, leaving former bench coach and interim manager Kai Correa's status in question. Matt Williams returns to the Giants and will be the third base coach, which pushes Mark Hallberg from third base to first base. This leaves Antoan Richardson's status in question. And finally, Pat "The Bat" Burrell joins the SF Giants' staff as co-hitting coach with Justin Viele.Viele's retention comes as somewhat of a surprise after two straight lackluster offensive seasons from the Giants under his leadership, ever since Donnie Ecker departed for the Texas Rangers. Pedro Guererro also returns as an assistant hitting coach. On the pitching side, things are far less certain. Director of Pitching Brian Bannister has already departed for the White Sox. Pitching coach Andrew Bailey's status is uncertain. All we know is that J.P. Martinez will return as an assistant pitching coach.What about important holdovers from Gabe Kapler's staff like Alyssa Nakken? Fortunately, Nakken will return for her fifth season as an Assistant Coach with the Giants. She been a popular figure in the dugout since her arrival, and she will forever be the first in-uniform female coach in MLB history. Taira Uematsu will also return as an Assistant Coach. Sadly, popular coach Craig Albernaz officially left the organization to join new Guardians manager Stephen Vogt's first-ever staff.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The call to take her place in baseball history, one that Alyssa Nakken had long prepared for, came in the third inning Tuesday night, when the San Francisco Giants' first base coach was ejected for responding to what he said was a racist remark. Nakken, an assistant who works with Giants players on baserunning and outfield defense, became the first woman in MLB history to coach on the field after the ejection of Antoan Richardson. When called upon, she left her spot in the batting cage, replaced her sweatshirt with her No. 92 jersey and grabbed a batting helmet. “I think we're all inspirations doing everything that we do on a day-to-day basis and I think, yes, this carries a little bit more weight because of the visibility, obviously there's a historical nature to it,” she said (via the Associated Press) after the Giants' 13-2 victory over the San Diego Padres. “But again, this is my job.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Did Mauricio Dubón and Steven Duggar violate the unwritten rules? The Padres sure thought so. But the Giants had the explanation to end all explanations for continuing to try to score even when the game was out of hand. They're trying to win a series, not just a game.Gabe Kapler explained that he liked the plays by Dubón and Duggar because their goal is to exhaust the opponent. They want to force them to throw as many pitches as possible and use as many pitchers as possible. Not to mention the fact that tiebreakers are now determined partially by run differential, so teams should never try to stop scoring. Kapler also explained that the Giants will have no issue with other teams doing this to them. Honestly, this was such a refreshing take and it's good for the game.Giants first base coach Antoan Richardson was ejected following an interaction with Padres third base coach Mike Shildt. Richardson said after the game that Shild told Gabe Kapler to "control that f—er." Richardson said it was highly inappropriate and had racist undertones. In his absence, however, Alyssa Nakken took over at first base and became the first on-field female coach in the game's long history.And oh by the way, the Giants put a whoopin' on the Padres. They scored 10 runs in the first two innings. Brandon Belt, Joc Pederson, and Wilmer Flores homered. Alex Cobb, making his Giants debut, put together an exciting performance. He struck out 10 in five innings. One turn through the Giants' rotation, it's easy to see why they could be one of the better staffs in the game. Logan Webb and Carlos Rodón get the next two.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

For the last two weeks...we've been making the case that Major League Baseball is out-of-touch with their audience. Yesterday...we were given two stories that prove this point. San Francisco Giants coach Antoan Richardson faked outrage to the media after their game against the Padres...while inventing a new insulting term. Cincinnati Reds President Phil Castellini was interviewed on local radio yesterday...and basically encouraged fans not to support the team. We explain how both instances further prove Major League Baseball is out-of-touch with their audience.

On this episode, you'll hear the “best-of” our interviews from the 2021 baseball year. Those you'll hear from are Tony Kemp (0:46), Joey Wendle (3:10), Rachel Balkovec (5:03), Melanie Newman (6:57), Michael A. Taylor (9:03), Cedric Mullins (9:55), Tommy Edman (12:30), Ryan McMahon (13:41), Matt Chapman (14:30), Luis Guillorme (17:08), Antoan Richardson (18:12), Max Stassi (19:33), Larry Walker (22:12), Hunter Renfroe (23:19), Chas McCormick (24:17), Adam Duvall (25:18), and Michael Harris (27:14).Thank you for listening this season.

Can you imagine getting to work with your closest college friends years later? That’s how it’s played out for a select group of Giants, all VandyBoys. Mike Yastrzemski, Curt Casali, Tyler Beede, Sam Selman and first base coach Antoan Richardson all played baseball at Vanderbilt in Nashville and built a special bond. Mark Willard visits with each of them (including Yaz and Casali together) along with their beloved Vandy coach Tim Corbin on what they were all like during college.
