Podcasts about arraez

After an eventful few days in December things quieted down on the Padres front. The New Year is here and Spring Training is only about a month away - so what on earth is going on? Derek and Darnay discuss the state of the team and the possible avenue for rounding out the roster. Preller is no stranger to making moves during Spring Training, are we going to have to be really patient? Is a reunion with Arraez coming? How do we feel about the current state of the roster? One MLB Insider says they've moved backwards.

Chris was back in studio with the guys, and Tony and Skraby talked about whether or not the Padres should bring back Luis Arraez. They also talked about more of the baseball awards and Hall of Fame nominees.

Ben & Woods open the 7am hour talking about a report from Robert Murray who says the Padres are interested in potentially bringing Luis Arraez back, but where would he play and where does he go in the lineup? And is that how the team should spend money this winter? Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before the guys take a look at some of the top trade candidates that could be available this offseason, and if ANY of them could be fits for the Padres. Listen here!

Co-hosts Chris Cotillo and Sean McAdam break down what the Red Sox will do this winter when it comes to both their infield and outfield, which remain very unsettled. Will Alex Bregman come back? How about Trevor Story? Could Eugenio Suarez and/or Luis Arraez make sense? And will Jarren Duran be traded? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

EP 135: This episode, Alex selects six topics to breakdown for a six-pack, starting with the Dodgers and their lack of dominance compared to last season. Then, he covers Anthony Volpe's shortcomings and how they impact the Yankees' aspirations, before highlighting the bright spots in the Yankees offense that are keeping the team going. Alex discusses Luis Arraez's offensive nosedive which calls into question his hitting approach and the manager's decision to feature him prominently. This contrasts with how Roman Anthony has been a driving positive force at the top of the lineup for the Red Sox, as their season has U-turned since trading away Rafael Devers. Alex closes the episode with a discussion on how the savvy Brewers have developed their team into World Series contention, while the Angels have fallen short in player development for another consecutive season.

It was an entertaining series in Seattle. But it was not a good few days for the Padres. After a pair of losses and a Dodgers sweep, San Diego is now looking up at Los Angeles again. The guys assess their division hopes and the Wild Card outlook. It was not a good few days for Padres starters. Michael King should be back soon. Fernando Tatis Jr. finally homered again. Ramon Laureano moved up in the lineup with Luis Arraez out, will it stay that way? Are changes coming? Winnable games are ahead.

The guys played Chris vs the Fans, talked about where Luis Arraez should go in the lineup, and The Big 5!

En este episodio hablamos con El Potro, un coach venezolano que ha trabajado con peloteros desde los 5 años hasta Grandes Ligas, incluyendo nombres como Luis Arraez y Aroldis Chapman.Con más de 15 años de experiencia, nos revela los secretos del desarrollo integral del atleta: desde lo físico y mental, hasta el papel de la familia y la prevención de lesiones.

We heard from Luis Arraez on his move to the cleanup spot, plus we heard from CJ Abrams and Jackson Merrill before the game.

Ben & Woods kick off the 7am hour talking more about last night's game, and some of the late inning mistakes the Padres made, including Luis Arraez swinging first pitch when Fernando Tatis Jr was trying to steal 2nd base. Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before we hear some pregame comments from Mike Shildt who gave an injury update on Michael King, and it didn't sound particularly good. Listen here!

Fresh off a split in San Francisco that was either frustrating or fortuitous, Darnay welcomes Annie Heilbrunn to the pod! How should we feel about the Giants series? Should we be concerned or hopeful about the team finding ways to win? Manny is raking. Tatis has signs of life. Xander and Arraez are dinged up. A series with the Dodgers is finally around the corner. Darnay asks Annie about a more affable Mike Shildt, and the key to asking good questions and getting useful answers.

The Padres just had one of their worst weeks in a long time. Back-to-back sweeps, which included one of the ugliest performances you'll see. Gavin Sheets nearly saved them against the Jays. Manny hasn't looked like himself and Tatis looks defeated. Luis Arraez is confusing. The guys discuss the damage, wonder about shaking up the lineup and are getting worried about Yu Darvish.

After a breath of fresh air in the form of a two-game sweep of San Francisco, Darnay catches up with Greg Garcia to get his thoughts on the club's stellar start. Arraez and Heyward are back, and it sounds like Jackson Merrill isn't far behind. Is this the best version of Fernando Tatis Jr.? Fans are glad the Padres won't see Paul Skenes, would players agree? And Mike Shildt's relentless positivity continues to pay off. Garcia shows love for his former skipper, discusses sign stealing and the living between the bigs and Triple-A.

Ben & Woods kick off the 7am hour talking about Yuli Gurriel being designated for assignment yesterday by the Padres with Luis Arraez and Jason Heyward coming off the IL, and we hear how Jesse Agler incorporated the word "kenspeckle" into last night's broadcast. Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before we discuss some of the other MLB action from last night and get to a Shoutout To His Family. Listen here!

Ben, Woods, and Paul are here for you on a Salvage Monday! We start the show with a little foreplay and talk about our weekends and Woodsy's final game as the PA announcer for the Seals...unless it wasn't! Then we set the menu for today's show and get to our Padres Wrap-Up as we go through the highlights of yesterday's 3-2 win on Sunday Night Baseball as the Padres beat the Astros to avoid the sweep, and we talk about the scary moment in the 1st inning with Luis Arraez being carted off on a stretcher. Listen here

Ben & Woods kick off the 7am hour continuing to discuss the scary moment with Luis Arraez to start last night's game, and some positive updates as we speculate when he may return to the lineup. Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before we continue to discuss the weekend that was for the Padres and talk about Friday and Saturday night's losses to the Astros. Listen here!

Chris and Skraby had a really short show but they had to cover a lot including the weekend in Houston and the latest on Luis Arraez. Plus, Tony gave his thoughts on Luis Arraez.

Ben & Woods attempt to get back on clock in the 8am hour, and we kick things off with pitching coach Ruben Niebla joining the show! Then Woodsy gets star-struck as one of the best hitters on the planet, Luis Arraez, makes his first appearance on the show! Listen here

Ben & Woods kick off the 7am hour talking a little SDFC as we get ready for their first ever match this weekend, but there's some confusion on how to actually watch it. Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before the guys talk about Luis Arraez, and what we should all expect from the 3x batting champion with a healthy hand in 2025. Plus, a fun Throwback Thursday moment from 5 years ago today! Listen here!

Is Extending Arraez on your priority list? The Aztecs Big Win Last Night. Robot Umps Could Be On The Way.

Rumors swirling that the Blue Jays and Pete Alonso are "at the 10 yard line." - Case tells us why whichever team lands Pete will get an elite power hitter with a chip on his shoulder and why Alonso will have a great year with whichever squad he lands with. Don't sleep on the Atlanta Braves - we forget how elite they were 2 years ago and adding another solid bat makes them one to watch in 2025. Plus we debunk a myth about Luis Arraez's skill set and wonder aloud if Bregman could end up back with the Astros. Youtube: https://youtu.be/bDlkHkGNZhs https://bleav.com/

Ben, Woods, and Paulie are here for you on a Friday-Friday! We start the show with a little foreplay as Ben tells us about his "memory palace" that he utilizes to help him remember things? Then we set the menu before we discuss Kevin Acee's Padres notes from yesterday as Acee caught up with AJ Preller at the GM Meetings, and Preller gave some insight into the team's plans for Xander Bogaerts and Luis Arraez. Listen here!

A.J. Preller seemed to push all the right buttons in 2024, and it got the Padres back to the postseason. Now can they make it back to back trips to the playoffs? Preller wrapped up their bounce back season and began to look ahead to 2025 in a lengthy chat with reporters. Will they extend Mike Shildt? What about Arraez, Cease, King and Merrill? Where do things stand with Ha-Seong Kim and what does he expect from Xander Bogaerts? And how much dough will he have to spend?

Ben & Woods start the 7am hour talking about the possible logistics NIGHTMARE that Major League Baseball could be facing due to weather causing postponements of some critical games. Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before we get back to some Padres baseball and discuss how banged up Luis Arraez might be, and if he needs a little rest before the playoffs. Listen here!

An emotional Post Game Presser for Guardians Manager Stephen Vogt got some headlines last night. Sean argues for Vogt to be Manager of the Year and we give love to the Guardians roster. Rumors Shohei Ohtani COULD pitch in playoffs. Should he? And will he get to 50/50? We debate. We dive into the numbers with the Padres Luis Arreaz's amazing non-strikout style and give some props to Casey for never striking out as a player. Plus, Sean Manaea of the Mets is DOMINATING. Are they poised to finish strong? And, of course, a huge Wildcard convo and we look at what the playoffs would look like if the season ended today!

The Never Weres' Tom and Jack Brown are back to talk about the clock running out on the Red Sox season. Then they discuss why the Red Sox rookies aren't getting enough love for Rookie of the Year. Finally, they discuss Luis Arraez's incredible run of not striking out.

Ben & Woods kick off the 7am hour by continuing our discussion on yesterday's postgame exchange between Padres manager Mike Shildt and Kevin Acee from the Union Tribune. Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before we get back to some Padres baseball and discuss how the team may view Luis Arráez's value, and the odd discrepancy between what our eyes tell us and what his advanced metrics say.

His season looks a lot like his breakout season in 2022. He's posting a 3.59 ERA, but not striking out a ton (about seven per nine) with three wins. He's even pitching a sub 4.00 ERA in four starts at home. a.Should I be excited about this or is this a mirage?b.He should get traded at the deadline, but with the Rockies do it?3.Josh Hader has settled down and has pitched much better of late. Should we look at him as a Top 3 closer again?4.I actually liked Nick Gonzales entering this season and he made my target list for Draft and Hold Leagues. I'm sure people thought I was crazy, but he's been ok. He looks like he's turning back into the player that he was in his first two years of college – a contact hitter with doubles power and 10 to 12 home run pop. Your thoughts?5.Is there any reason to expect Eloy Jimenez to play more than 100 games a year? He's done 120 for two seasons, 55 and 84, and is hurt again. Do you just avoid rostering these injured-riddled players?6.Xander Boegarts fractured his shoulder and hits the IL for a while. I'm assuming Arraez moves to second. Who gets his playing time?7.Julio Rodriguez still hits the ball hard (92.6 MPH exit velo) and is still in the 98th percentile in speed, but he's striking out 28% of the time and walking less than 6% of the time – both career worst. His quality of contact (squared-up balls) is in the bottom 20% of the league. How concerned should fantasy managers be?8.One question after today's games…9.What hitter are you targeting this weekend?10.What pitcher are you targeting this weekend?
