The Cubs may not be leading the division, but one thing is clear: Pete Crow-Armstrong has arrived. In this episode, the guys break down the Cubs' rollercoaster season and spotlight the breakout no one saw coming. Is PCA really an MVP candidate? Can the Cubs ride his momentum into October?

Emotional trades happen, and the Cardinals—anticipating the exile of Rafael Devers from Boston—made one with a future Hall of Famer (who eventually wound up in Boston). Then a Cardinals pitcher is kidnapped—or was he?—and the host questions whether he once witnessed an example of the same on the mean streets of New Jersey.  The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

In new remarks for this week's baseball and history reprise, we argue about bunts, kites, and kings—why would anyone wish for any of them? Kites are okay, of course, but the other two are problematic.

There are very few general managers in the Hall of Fame, but that doesn't mean your local team executive doesn't know what he's doing—it's just that there are only so many obvious choices to make in any baseball season whether your name sounds something like “Ranch Bickey” or “Cryin' Rashman.” Then, following a quick stop with Babe Ruth and a close-mouthed Lou Gehrig, we visit Cleveland Indians camp in 1938 for a manager who was too insensitive to handle a troubled catcher—and his drawer full of shirts.

In the second hour of Inside Access, the guys discuss what EDC had to say on the Baltimore Baseball Podcast. They also talk about Beltway Ben's trip to the Bahamas and if the Orioles can pull off the sweep.

In early February 2021 it seemed as if the danger of internally-inflicted fascism might be over, and so we looked at an occasion when Lou Gehrig was confronted with the same kind of movement and had a visceral reaction. Plus a lighter tale of a semi-pro pitcher who injured himself in an unusual way. We also revisit some of Twins executive Kevin Goldstein's comments on the Colorado Rockies from this episode. In this episode's new introduction: The naivety of some of this episode's comments about the dangers of Trumpism and a close encounter with 1000-game reliever LaTroy Hawkins.

Nine Years Old, 324 Pitches—Time to Draw the LineAfter a week off to shake a nasty bug, host Deven Morgan is back on “the world's most dangerous youth baseball podcast” with his most passionate episode yet. Deven opens with quick hits—AxeBat and 3A Athletics discounts, new Driveline Academy camps—then dives into a heartfelt recap of his son's High School team's postseason run and the power of true senior leadership. From there he pulls no punches on coaching culture, contrasting supportive environments with programs that shame kids into playing scared. The centerpiece rant tackles a jaw-dropping case of pitch-count abuse: a nine-year-old who threw 324 pitches in one weekend and the tournament operator who shrugged it off. Deven explains why tournament providers must adopt MLB Pitch Smart-style limits, likening the current “not our problem” attitude to the era of child factory labor. Along the way he deconstructs toxic “tough-love” memes, explores flow state, and reminds parents that the real goal is nurturing a lifelong passion for the game. Raw, funny, and unfiltered, this episode is a call to protect kids and preserve baseball's future.00:00 Introduction and Housekeeping06:48 High School Baseball Experience11:06 Coaching Culture and Leadership20:12 The Impact of Coaching Styles30:09 Youth Sports and Performance Mindset39:15 Understanding Flow State in Sports41:46 The Impact of Parental Pressure on Young Athletes44:57 Pitch Count Abuse in Youth Baseball56:03 The Responsibility of Tournament Providers01:01:06 Creating a Safe Environment for Young Athletes01:09:59 The Importance of Passion in Youth SportsLinksDriveline Youth Development Campshttps://www.drivelinebaseball.com/academy-youth-baseball-camps/Start training with Driveline now with Academy Flex:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/academy-flex/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Develop bat speed with our Youth Power Bat for just $99!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-power-trainer/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Skills That Scale: The Complete Youth Baseball Training Manual is out now!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/skills-that-scale-training-manual/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Train bat speed and barrel accuracy with our Youth Underload Smash bat - just $79!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-underload-smash-bat/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⬇️ Host ⬇️Deven Morgan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/devenmorgan ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

The secret to managers' success is revealed and dispensed with, in a hypothetical version of 1976, George Steinbrenner gifts Reggie Jackson with a plane, Hal Chase isn't off the list because he was never on the list, a pre-Orioles pitcher becomes ill indeed, and baserunners are obstructed in 1928 and 2025, with differing outcomes suggesting the ways baseball can be like a sloppily-written document.

For the show's first reissue, we return to an episode from almost precisely five years ago which compares players who wouldn't follow rules and inspired their clubs not to follow rules back, a subject framed by our once and possibly future public health crisis.

Sports can be highly instructive. Much of what I have discovered about life comes from the baseball diamond. These are ten valuable life lessons that the game of baseball has taught me. 1) You have to adjust to the curve & bad hops2) Umps are bound to make bad calls3) Keep your eye on the ball4) Hope springs eternal5) It's the little things that matter most6) It's a team game7) Take your cuts8) Not everyone can play short or bat fourth9) Moms matter most10) You only get to play so many seasonsListeners, please subscribe to Heavy Hitter Sports wherever you listen to podcasts so that you don't miss any future episodes.

ESPX Baseball Podcast - May 6, 2025

We consider the legacy of the great Venezuelan players who have graced the game going back to Alex Carrasquel in 1939, constructing an all-star team of players from that beleaguered nation. What can any one of them tell us about Venezuelans as a whole? Hint: it's the same thing that a highway serial killer can tell us about your best friend's gramma. Then we return to the strange, inebriated world of Shufflin' Phil Douglas. Did he betray not just the game and himself, but his wife as well?The Infinite Inning is not only about baseball but a state of mind. Steven Goldman discusses the game's present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large. Expect stats, anecdotes, digressions, explorations of writing and fandom, and more Casey Stengel quotations than you thought possible. Along the way, they'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

This week's Breakfast With Benz baseball podcast features Kevin Gorman of TribLive giving us an update on the fan who fell from the top of the Clemente Wall.

We begin with two players who would have been crowded off of modern rosters, and also couldn't have made the 1970s Oakland A's due to the owner's insistence on carrying two pinch-runners at once.

We examine the Los Angeles Angels' hot start in light of the 1987 Milwaukee Brewers' hot start and what happened afterwards, and stumble across a writer saying inappropriate things about Spike Owen and Teddy Higuera. Then we talk about the tragic loss of Octavio Dotel, “The Pitt,” and Philadelphia's 1903 “Black Saturday.” Trigger Warning: There's nothing graphic about any of the above, but we do talk a bit about more than one tragic building collapse. It's tasteful, it's respectful and, we hope, totally not exploitative, but thinking about it too much still might be troubling. The Infinite Inning is not only about baseball but a state of mind. Steven Goldman discusses the game's present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large.
