The hour opens with a wild fight between an Uber Eats driver and Barstool security, debating whether an employee should have filmed the altercation or gotten help. C-Lo delivers his final update covering Gerrit Cole and the Yankees' loss to the Astros, George Lombard Jr.'s sixth straight game with an error, Rex Ryan visiting Jets camp, and Dan Campbell's message to high school players. Finally, the Moment of the Day highlights Jerry and Al's poor SAT scores before Jerry heads off to the Salt Shack for Jerry's Beach Bash.

C-Lo starts with the sounds of the Yankees losing to the Astros and a pitcher with a last name that sounds like ‘blue balls'. George Lombard Jr made another error last night, making that six straight games. The Mets lost to the Brewers and dropped the series.

With Boomer out today, Gio and Jerry take the mic ahead of the Jerry Recco Beach Bash at Salt Shack on Long Island later today. Geno Smith isn't playing tonight, Jaxson Dart's status is uncertain, the Yankees face the Red Sox, and the guys debate whether starting QBs should play in the preseason. C-Lo drops his first update featuring sounds from the Yankees' loss to the Astros—including a pitcher whose last name sounds like "blue balls"—and George Lombard Jr. making an error in his sixth straight game. Finally, the Mets dropped their series to the Brewers, Al Michaels celebrates his 60th wedding anniversary, and the hour wraps up with Chris Stapleton's song about his dog alongside other sad father-daughter songs.

Gio recaps playing golf with Boomer during a thunderstorm and Boomer's fear of lightning, followed by a look at the Good Good Golf controversy and why they might be finished. C-Lo returns for an update covering Steve Torre taking over for Damon Amendolara at Mad Dog Radio, alongside the Yankees' loss to the Astros featuring a pitcher whose last name sounds like "blue balls." Finally, the guys debate which pro sports team they would choose to run as GM and discuss Gio "sucking off the area" when it comes to spending time locally this summer.

Former Major League Baseball pitcher Brandon Puffer reached the highest level of the game. Then his life took a dramatic turn that ultimately led him from the bullpen to prison. In this powerful episode of The Gametime Guru, Brandon shares his remarkable journey through professional baseball, addiction, incarceration, accountability, faith, sobriety, forgiveness, and redemption. Brandon was drafted by the Minnesota Twins directly out of high school and spent years grinding through the minor leagues. He was released by multiple organizations, continued fighting for another opportunity, and eventually made a pitching adjustment that changed the trajectory of his career: dropping down and throwing sidearm. That adjustment helped Brandon climb through professional baseball and ultimately earn his call to Major League Baseball. He would go on to pitch for organizations including the Houston Astros, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, and Boston Red Sox organization while competing against some of the biggest names in the sport. But Brandon's story goes far beyond baseball. He openly discusses his battle with alcohol, losing his sobriety, ignoring warning signs, and making decisions that eventually resulted in his arrest, conviction, and a five-year prison sentence. Brandon ultimately served three and a half years behind bars. What makes this conversation so impactful is Brandon's willingness to take responsibility for what happened. He does not make excuses. Instead, he talks about the ripple effect of our choices, the people who were hurt by his actions, and why true redemption requires accountability. Brandon shares what it was like to surrender his life to God while incarcerated, walk out of prison with almost nothing, rebuild relationships with his children, take a humbling job working maintenance at a baseball stadium, and slowly rediscover his purpose. Today, Brandon uses his experiences to mentor young athletes, speak to people facing difficult circumstances, return to prisons to share his story, and encourage others to recognize the warning signs in their own lives before it is too late. In this episode, we discuss: Getting drafted by the Minnesota Twins out of high school The grind and uncertainty of Minor League Baseball Being released multiple times and refusing to quit The sidearm pitching adjustment that changed Brandon's career Getting the call to Major League Baseball His unforgettable MLB debut Pitching against some of baseball's biggest stars His first Major League win Addiction and losing his sobriety The warning signs Brandon ignored The night that changed the direction of his life Receiving a five-year prison sentence Spending three and a half years incarcerated The impact his choices had on his family and others Why accountability is essential to redemption Surrendering his life to Christ Starting over after prison Rebuilding relationships with his children Grace, forgiveness, faith, and nearly 18 years of sobriety Why isolation can make our struggles more dangerous Brandon's advice for anyone who knows they need help His book, From the Bullpen to the State Pen Connect with Brandon Puffer: Website: www.coachpuffpositive.com Instagram: @coachpuffpositive X: @coachpuffpositv Brandon's Book: From the Bullpen to the State Pen Available on Amazon. If Brandon's story resonates with you, share this episode with someone who may need to hear the message that your worst decision does not have to become the final chapter of your life. Accountability, humility, faith, and the willingness to ask for help can change the direction of your story.

Hour 1 - Astros, Texans and Headlines

The show is cursed. Last week's audio came out haunted, three Cardinals hit the IL in a matter of days, and Nate and Ben have made peace with the grudge ghost now living in the podcast. Between hauntings they cover a tired, banged-up team still hanging around the wild card: Masyn Winn's season-ending thumb, Josh Baez's wildly unlucky start, and a Kyle Leahy who's quietly pitched like an ace for two months.Down on the farm, Rainiel Rodriguez keeps mashing, and the Cardinals now have baseball's second-best farm system. Plus Pirates and Dodgers previews, the Astros' bizarre firing of Dana Brown, and a new game about ballpark calories.Have a question or comment for the show?

The San Diego Padres have been a franchise since 1969, and while they've won two National League pennants, the ever-elusive World Series championship still eludes them. However, on Monday, there was a renewed sense of optimism and commitment to the team when the baseball world was introduced to the team's new owners, who hope to finally end the club's 57-year drought. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman recap all the highlights from the introductory press conference of new Padres owners José E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones, including their backgrounds, why this should be viewed as a separate investment beyond their other business dealings and why this is a different type of ownership group than we're used to seeing. They also talk about the Padres' game Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates, which saw Mason Miller finally give up a home run and Paul Skenes show signs of life in their victory. Later in the show, Jake and Jordan take a look at the Triple Crown case that Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez is making, what might be the one category in which he could lose a step and which stat they would sub out to make the achievement more modern.

The Yankees-Astros rivalry just does not feel the same anymore.
