Cards beat Cubs again, Baseball talk with Tommy Birch
Cards beat Cubs again, Baseball talk with Tommy Birch
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? We're talking highlight-reel plays, clutch hits, and what's still holding this team back. If you're a Cubs fan or just love a good baseball breakout story, this one's for you. Crack a cold one and join us.
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, history, and politics reissue, notes from the 1500s on kings and princes vs. the mob and what that might tell us about the Rafael Devers trade. Then we revisit two acts of resistance: Tom Seaver and John Lennon have an indirect team-up to remind us of our own power, and the wrong president shows up at the World Series.The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine.

A 1980s designated hitter is traded to the National League, a fish-needs-a-bicycle baseball moment reminiscent of recent US diplomacy, and a 20-game winner who pitched as Theodore Roosevelt charged up San Juan Hill throws it all away in favor of good diction.

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. We then revisit the Brooklyn Dodgers with Jackie Robinson asked to comment on a fallen Hall of Famer who had once been his teammate, then jump back to the days before World War II, when the America First Committee wanted to take over a baseball stadium for one of their isolationist/anti-Semitic rallies.

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 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.

We return to the program's first year for two of our more fun baseball profiles, both featuring Brooklyn Dodgers—one from the 19th century, one from the 1940s, and both a little uncomfortable.

EP 134: This week, Alex and Travis open with a deep dive on the Orioles and try to figure out why they have started the season so poorly. They go on to discuss the drama surrounding Rafael Devers' position and Kyle Schwarber's surprising consistency, before closing with their thoughts on a potential Paul Skenes trade and a recap of the heating up Angels' winning streak.
Before we revisit episode 13 and it's discussion of the O'Connell-Dolan scandal, starring a player and a coach lately sprung off the banned list by Rob Manfred, we have a new introduction discussing Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis, the death of Franklin Roosevelt, Derek Jeter's refusal to move off of shortstop, and we give one more encore to the most perceptive thing Grantland Rice every wrote.The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine.

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.

In this return to one of this baseball podcast's earliest episodes, we discover two utility infielders, the Yankees' Wayne Tolleson and, well, nobody's Snooks Dowd (he was a Tigers, A's, and Dodgers reject) who weren't where they were supposed to be—or maybe they were exactly where they were supposed to be, but those in authority had a different opinion. This episode features a new introduction reflecting on how these lost players relate to some of the displaced people of our own times.The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine.

A pope who supposedly wanted baseball but caved to the Nazis instead, an amateur pitcher who cost a team a pennant, the Perdicaris incident, a Pirates manager is fired and the way his predecessor resigned, and the 2025 Colorado Rockies versus the 1932 Boston Red Sox and both in the hands of the President of the United States.

Let's remember Baseball Talk Radio's first live podcast with Rich Baxter, Gary Mack and Ed Kasputis as we prepared for Game 6 of the 2016 National League Championship Series. Will it be the Dodgers or the Cubs headed to Cleveland for the 112th edition of the Fall Classic?
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.

EP 133: This week Alex and Travis open by putting Aaron Judge's current stretch of dominance into a historical context. Then, they review the biggest surprises teams, both good and bad, thus far in 2025, before shedding some light on some breakout Nationals stars that came from the 2022 Juan Soto trade.
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. Then we travel to Philadelphia and visit two pitchers seemingly on parallel tracks, one who might pitch forever as the other confronts a life-threatening illness.The Infinite Inning is not only about baseball but a state of mind.

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.

Infinite Inning 324: The Way We Live Now (Again) In a largely improvised episode we reexperience current events through the lens of Joe DiMaggio's 1941 hitting streak, counting the days while the war stays away, while once again a government effort requires us to rally ‘round Jackie Robinson—and Abraham Lincoln too, and we do so while checking in on the better brand of shortstops offered by the Negro Leagues' Newark Eagles and Philadelphia Stars (and shame Connie Mack one more time).

We debate whether a victim of the First World War and the 1918 influenza pandemic was the heretofore unidentifiable Greatest Lost Prospect, we make a quick stop to compare takes on the 1915 World Series to Social Darwinism, and rediscover a dirty owners' trick after a pitcher gathers up all his many girlfriends and drives into a wall.

A pitcher reaching a breaking point with his creator sends us scurrying back to the Old Testament for guidance, and then we unpack the stories behind Steve's Baseball Prospectus column this week, a reaction to the Department of Defense labeling Jackie Robinson as “deisports.” Should you wish to read the column, it's available free (no paywall) at BP. Trigger Warning: There are extensive discussions of slavery, and a brief one of rape, in the second part of the show. There is also perhaps one mild cussword in here. It's nothing you haven't heard the current president say repeatedly. The Infinite Inning is not only about baseball but a state of mind.
