Send us a textMike "Spanky" LaValliere pulls no punches as he takes us behind home plate for a candid look at baseball through a catcher's eyes. From his days with the Cardinals to becoming a Gold Glove winner and fan favorite with the Pittsburgh Pirates, LaValliere's journey reveals the hidden complexities of one of baseball's most demanding positions.With refreshing honesty, Spanky tackles the evolution of catching techniques, expressing serious concerns about today's one-knee approach: "I don't understand the catching that's going on right now... at the lower levels, if you're on a knee, you're not doing any service." His breakdown of what made him successful defensively offers invaluable insights for players and coaches alike.The conversation turns particularly fascinating when LaValliere pulls back the curtain on catcher-umpire relationships in the pre-analytics era. His stories of umpires expanding the strike zone for mouthy batters and the importance of game management over rigid strike zones highlight just how dramatically baseball has changed. When asked about his relationship with umpires, LaValliere's insider perspective is priceless: "If one of the hitters was a little mouthy, you get a little tap... move a little further outside."Perhaps most compelling are LaValliere's raw, emotional reflections on the Pirates' magical 1990-92 division title runs, culminating in the heartbreaking 1992 NLCS loss featuring Sid Bream's infamous slide. Even decades later, Spanky maintains: "I still believe that I got that back leg before," and reveals he couldn't watch the replay for fifteen years afterward. His stories about teammates like Barry Bonds ("the best player I ever saw, bar none") and Bob Walk offer delightful glimpses into clubhouse dynamics from a golden era of Pirates baseball.Whether you're a catching enthusiast, Pirates fan, or simply love authentic baseball stories from someone who lived them, LaValliere's blend of technical knowledge, humor, and heartfelt reflection makes this episode essential listening.

Steak, Rusty and Mike come back and discuss what they would consider the top four Mount Rushmore plays of Atlanta sports noting Hank Aaron's home run, Michael Vick's walk off TD against the Vikings and Sid Bream's slide to beat Barry Bonds' throw at home plate as plays which could be considered. They then take calls from listeners to allow them to share their thoughts on the topic.

Barry Bonds. Seven-time MVP. All-time home run king. One of the most feared hitters to ever step into a batter's box. So why isn't he in the Hall of Fame? In this episode of Kenny The Sports Guy Podcast, we dive deep into the complicated legacy of Barry Bonds. From his early days in Pittsburgh to his legendary (and controversial) run with the San Francisco Giants, Bonds' story is one of dominance, scandal, and debate. We explore the steroid era, the morality of baseball purists, and the question that still haunts Cooperstown: Should the numbers speak louder than the noise? Was he a villain, a victim, or simply the best to ever do it? Kenny The Sports Guy Podcast  Twitter: @kenny_sports  Instagram: @kennysportsguy1 Tik Tok: @kennysportspodcast

The EC Show: Torpedo Bats, Bare Knuckle Brawls & Opening Day Madness! ⚾

Keith and Mike mark their 200th episode today. They begin by reflecting on the accuracy of milestone counting and segue into a discussion about Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, and the fallibility of supposedly sacred sports statistics. Keith expresses suspicion that his own episode count spreadsheet may contain hidden corruption, though Mike assures him the podcast network's data file would make such an error unlikely. The moment is appropriately celebrated with a shared sense of modest self-congratulation and implied service to humanity. The conversation moves into a deeper analysis of male sexual psychology, sparked by a text from a woman who suggests that sex with a man often ends the pursuit. Keith and Mike consider the implications of novelty, companionship, and emotional labor in relationships, with Mike drawing an analogy to deer hunting and Keith delicately suggesting that some women might simply not be compelling. The two debate whether orgasm consistency and emotional intelligence can prolong male interest beyond the novelty window. Mike proposes a theory of dual peaks of male arousal: initial sex and the first time the woman has a believable orgasm, though Keith is skeptical most men track such things. Later, the hosts discuss the cultural expectations placed on men in relationships, particularly the tension between emotional availability and sexual access. Keith outlines a behavioral pattern where men tolerate emotional excess in exchange for continued sexual opportunity, and questions whether women might strategically suppress their natural behaviors to avoid being broken up with. Mike suggests that all women have some amount of emotional nonsense, and if they don't show it, it's because they've hidden it. Keith, for his part, seems to welcome the deception so long as it's convincingly executed. The episode concludes with a discussion of whether someone should sleep with a terminally ill, married former acquaintance. The hosts dissect the ethical, emotional, and practical implications of this decision, including the possibility that the illness is a ruse, the risks of posthumous heartbreak, and the general undesirability of sex with someone undergoing chemotherapy. They offer their standard dry pragmatism and qualify moral concerns with sufficient caveats to suit most worldviews. Twitter: @ymmvpod Facebook: ymmvpod Email: ymmvpod@gmail.com

Pirates catcher Joey Bart joined the show. Joey mentioned his family members that have Pittsburgh ties. Joey talked about the activities he gets into during the offseason. He described the strategy of competition bass fishing and the events he has taken part in. Joey said Kevin VanDam is the best bass fisherman of all-time. Joey said there's nothing like being in a lake with 100 other boats. Joey talked about his journey to baseball when he expected to be a football player in high school. Joey told a story about catching for Matt Capps when he was 15. Who is the one pitcher from all-time that Joey wishes he could catch? Joey told the guys about meeting and working with Barry Bonds while he was part of the Giants organization. He said Bonds was on a level of hitter that he doesn't think we will ever see again. He thinks Bonds, even at 50+ years old, would be a threat at the plate in today's game.

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike thinks Russell Wilson would be a mistake for the Steelers in 2025, leaving Justin Fields as the better choice. Mike doesn't think the Steelers have interest in Aaron Rodgers unless he's their last option. Mike doesn't buy into the dots being connected between Wilson and the Raiders. Mike described Russ' game as a one-club golf bag and said all he has is the moon-ball. Mike doesn't think Wilson is a player that will accept a backup job. Mike is surprised by DK Metcalf requesting a trade. Mike thinks DK could be had for a 3rd or 4th round pick. The guys asked Mike about what the Falcons are going to do with Kirk Cousins. How will the new deal for Saquon Barkley impact guys like Najee Harris as they enter the open market? Mike believes Davante Adams is the best WR of the available group. The guys asked Mike how the Maxx Crosby contract will affect what the Steelers offer TJ Watt later this offseason? Mike isn't sure what the strategy is for Myles Garrett and if he stays in Cleveland. How will the Bengals make all of their financials work with the young stars on offense? Pirates utilityman Jared Triolo joined the show. Jared won a gold glove last season and said that thing is heavy. Jared talked about how often he practices at the various positions on the field since he plays all over. The guys asked Jared about some of his early moments in the majors. Jared tried to build his all-defensive team. He said learning 1B is a lot more difficult than people think. ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi gave her latest thoughts on the Steelers QB situation. She doesn't think there is a robust market for Russell Wilson. If Justin Fields isn't in Pittsburgh, she thinks there are ‘several' teams looking for his services. Aditi said it's hard to blame a player for testing the waters, especially if it's their first chance to really do so. Aditi does think there is a QB in the draft that she thinks the Steelers would take outside of the 1st round. The guys questioned the Jalen Milroe hand size that went up significantly since the Senior Bowl. Aditi loves Nick Chubb and thinks he's the antithesis of a few guys in the Steelers locker room. Aditi can see DK Metcalf going to Vegas. Pirates catcher Joey Bart joined the show. Joey mentioned his family members that have Pittsburgh ties.
