Pero queda en el aire la sensación que la MLB pareciera que hicieron lo posible por cuadrarlo todo para que los Dodgers se lleven la serie mundial. Y es que ya van dos años en que siento que todo cuadra. El año pasado lo hicieron todo para conseguir la serie entre Yankees y Dodgers. Y éste había que darle la oportunidad a los Dodgers para ganar a como diera lugar y la jugada del batazo de Barger que habría empatado el partido siempre quedará como una mancha en esta serie mundial.

Will Lou recaps the Toronto Raptors' 112-101 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. He breaks down the important contributions from Jamison Battle off the bench and the improvements on defense. He then turns his attention to the Toronto Blue Jays (46:35) who catch a run of spectacularly bad breaks with Addison Barger's ground rule double and then Barger caught in a double-play at second.Three stars: Jamison Battle, Brandon Ingram, Scottie BarnesGerald Henderson award: DeAndre Hunter#nba #torontoraptors #bluejays Reach out to the show by leaving a voicemail at hellowelcome.show or email the guys info@hellowelcome.showCheck out our merch!

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 3-1 loss to the Dodgers in Game 6 of the World Series to force a winner-take-all Game 7 on Saturday night. They take your calls and texts, and get right to the bizarre ninth inning, which included a wedged ball in the outfield wall to stop play on what would have been a game-tying hit from Addison Barger, followed by the lineout double play that ended the game seconds later. Had they ever seen the the wedged ball happen at the Rogers Centre, and how much blame does Barger deserve in that situation? They also get into the game at-large, including the missed opportunities against Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the start from Kevin Gausman, the performance of the bullpen, and whether or not the team will be able to bounce back for Game 7 in such a short amount of time. 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.

Jori Negin-Shecter (@JNeginShecter) and Zach Worden (@Worden_Zach) react to the Toronto Blue Jays' Game 6 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, breaking down the ninth-inning lodged ball, Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivering another strong outing and tee up Game 7.

Tim and Producer Stormy are joined by Jordan Youngs to talk about the end of the season for the 2025 Seattle Mariners. They discuss the heartbreak of being 8 outs away from the World Series and give their thoughts on how Game 7 of the ALCS with the Toronto Blue Jays went. Tim for some reason says it was Barger that hit the eventual game winning home run but then comes to his senses that it was Springer. The guys touch on what the team can do to improve in the offseason and what the Mariners will realistically do. An argument breaks out of Scott Servais could have taken this roster to the ALCS but cooler heads prevail. They then finish the show with some quick thoughts on the Washington Huskies and the Seattle Seahawks! #mlb #seattle #mariners #seahawks #nfl #football #baseball #washington #huskies #worldseries #toronto #bluejays

Ever wondered if being “nice” at work could actually be making everything worse? Picture this: a leader so shielded by everyone's politeness that a single, cringeworthy comment in the halls of Congress nearly tanks a $9 million deal—while everyone else sits silent, protecting comfort over honesty. Turns out, our obsession with not rocking the boat isn't just awkward... it can be downright destructive. But here's the twist: the real danger isn't ego or greed. It's this sneaky, everyday culture of niceness that's quietly costing us big—more than we realize. So what's the true price we pay for keeping the peace, and how can we start to flip the script? In this episode, you will be able to: Discover how the impact of niceness in workplace culture can quietly shape team dynamics and influence overall success. Unlock the keys to building psychological safety that encourages genuine conversations and boosts team confidence. Understand the hidden consequences of avoiding conflict at work and how it can stall growth and damage trust. My special guest is Amira Barger Amira K.S.

Few people in Paragould can say they're the best in the world at something—Sebastian Barger is one of them. A graduate of Paragould High School, Sebastian's story took off during the COVID shutdowns when he found himself with extra time and a simple set of cornhole boards. What started as 3–4 hours of daily practice quickly turned into a path to the pros. Within a year, he was competing at the highest level. And in 2025, that dedication paid off as he claimed the title of American Cornhole Organization World Singles Champion—cementing his place as the best in the world. In this episode, we talk with Sebastian about his journey from backyard boards to world champion, what it takes to compete on the biggest stage, and how Paragould shaped the athlete—and person—he's become.
