Podcasts about Baseball

So far this week, host Matt Perrault has gone 5-7. Not the best but not the worst either. Matt still has time for a winning week and starts on with CFP for the latest episode of the Daily Juice presented by Hard Rock Bet. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a 90 minute sprint, Arcand gives his early thoughts on the Ravens and puts a stamp on any potential friction between Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels. it may be quiet, but keep an antenna up for something to occur down the road. Then, injuries on the defensive side of the ball along with having a hard time containing Josh Allen should create some worry for Patriots' fans ahead of Sunday night against Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry. And, it looks like there's a blinking contest going on between the Red Sox and Diamondbacks when it comes to Ketel Marte and Alex Bregman.

With the Red Sox wanting to trade for Ketel Marte from the Diamondbacks, Arcand believes Arizona is trying to play mind games with Boston by showing interest in Alex Bregman.

From the dominance of Skenes and Skubal, the power show put on by the Big Dumper, and the do-not-miss excellence of Shohei and the Dodgers, 2025 truly had it all. In our final podcast of the year, we count down the best in baseball in 2025.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

More Post-Dispatch podcasts.  Please consider subscribing. As the Cardinals have retreated from annual October appearances they have also faded from the national spotlight. They haven't been historically bad. They haven't been as good as their recent history. Jordan Shusterman, senior writer at Yahoo! Sports and host of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, begins a converation on a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball there: Their absence from the national conversation and what will get them back. The answer, of course, is identifying what current players must be a part of the next contending core. That drives this new episode of the long-running Cardinals podcast. When Shusterman joined BPIB and host Derrick Goold for this recording, he entered his name as "#1 Jimmy Crooks Fan," and that fondness for the Cardinals' left-handed hitting catching prospect came up as the two baseball writers tracked the list of teams that have missed the postseason in the same years as the Cardinals. One of those teams -- the San Francisco Giants -- is not only the subject of a forthcoming article by Shusterman but also one of the teams interested in the Cardinals' Brendan Donovan and also a team that shares a standout trait with the Cardinals. Both clubs featured Hall of Fame caliber catchers as their cornerstones and have faded in the years since Buster Posey and Yadier Molina retired. The podcast also includes a discussion on sleeper picks for the future core and how lefty Liam Doyle, the Cardinals' first-round pick in the recent draft, could wake up the ballpark with his debut and personality, if the performance is there to match. He's compared to a closer, just at the start of the game. Plus, did Cardinals' fatigue contribute to the Cardinals' drift out of the national headlines? In its 13th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes. Each episode is sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold.

Baseball injuries continue to rise at an alarming rate. Over the years, we have seen the development of more advanced training velocity programs and pitchers that are focused on enhancing their performance during the offseason.This has led to a variety of development programs being performed over the offseason, which takes away from downtime and allows the body to heal after a long competitive season.In this episode, we talk about some of the science behind why you should take time off from throwing, and perhaps how long you should take off during the offseason.To see full show notes and more, head to: https://mikereinold.com/how-much-time-off-should-you-take-from-throwing-after-the-baseball-season/ Click Here to View My Online CoursesWant to learn more from me?

New @InThisLeaguePod Fantasy Football Podcast with @BogmanSports and @IsItTheWelshWeek 16 Fantasy Football Ranks

In this week's new commentary, we wonder how major league strikeout leader James Wood can reduce his strikeouts by 600 percent in 2026. Then we return to early 2008 for a look at some deleterious, franchise-damaging or -destroying decisions, including a regrettable early mistake in free agency and Connie Mack's decision to run his team like it was the 1910s even though almost 40 years had passed. 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? 

Hour 1 opens with the Dolphins officially benching Tua Tagovailoa, as Joe and Dave break down how the franchise arrived at this moment, revisiting the Brian Flores–Tua drama from 2020 and questioning the decision to ever give Tua a massive contract. They dive into Tua's limitations, especially pushing the ball downfield, and react to Mike McDaniel saying Quinn Ewers gives Miami the best chance to win. The conversation branches out with Joe's college stories and some playful banter about Jamie's dating life before shifting to college football, where Texas A&M is talking trash ahead of its matchup with Miami. The hour also touches on the Florida Panthers getting hot, winning six of their last seven, and the debate over why the Dolphins chose Ewers over Zach Wilson as they officially turn the page at quarterback

The Dolphins officially bench Tua Tagovailoa, and the guys break down how the franchise reached this point, revisiting past drama, questionable draft and contract decisions, and Tua's limitations pushing the ball downfield. They discuss rookie Quinn Ewers taking over as starter and debate whether Zach Wilson should have gotten the nod, while also highlighting Miami's broader organizational struggles and the importance of evaluating the roster and scouting from top to bottom. The conversation spans college football, with Texas A&M trash-talking Miami ahead of their playoff matchup, and the Florida Panthers' hot streak as they prepare for the Winter Classic. NFL insight is added by Brian Baldinger, who weighs in on Tua's benching, team urgency, Zach Wilson's future, and other major storylines, while also discussing the Dolphins' young talent and long-term rebuild strategy. All the while, Joe and Dave mix in lighter moments, including college stories and fan-favorite banter, making for a full look at the state of Miami sports.

Hour 3 dives into the fallout from the Dolphins' decision to bench Tua Tagovailoa. Joe and Dave discuss Tua's professional demeanor with the media despite a season full of questionable press conference moments, examining whether he or Mike McDaniel has lost confidence in himself and how the game plan reflected that. WR Jaylen Waddle's apparent frustration is noted, along with broader organizational concerns, including inconsistent scouting and missed draft picks. Kim Bokamper joins to critique Tua's sideline behavior, Mike McDaniel's frequent early timeouts, and the challenges of a coaching staff with too many voices, painting a picture of a franchise still searching for stability.

Brian Baldinger joins to weigh in on the Dolphins' decision to bench Tua Tagovailoa, criticizing Miami's lack of urgency in the loss to the Steelers and noting the team may have to absorb Tua's contract similar to how the Broncos handled Russell Wilson. He also breaks down other major NFL storylines, including a preview of Thursday Night Football between the Rams and Seahawks, praises Josh Allen for his MVP-caliber season, and gives his candid take on Zach Wilson's future. The conversation then turns to the Dolphins' end-of-season vision, debating whether Quinn Ewers is being evaluated as a long-term option or just a bridge, with Dave Hyde and Kim Bokamper offering differing perspectives. The hour closes by examining Miami's young talent, highlighting Patrick Paul's potential, Chop Robinson's ups and downs, and comparing Jonah Savaiinaea to last season's Paul, emphasizing the importance of building a strong foundation for the team's future.

Brian Baldinger joins to weigh in on the Dolphins' decision to bench Tua Tagovailoa, criticizing Miami's lack of urgency in the loss to the Steelers and noting that the team may have to absorb Tua's contract similar to how the Broncos handled Russell Wilson. He also breaks down other major NFL storylines, including a preview of Thursday Night Football between two NFC powerhouses, the Rams and Seahawks. Baldinger praises Josh Allen for his standout season and MVP potential, and shares his candid take on Zach Wilson's future in the league.

Kim Bokamper joins Joe and Dave to break down the Dolphins' struggles, with all three critical of Tua Tagovailoa. They call out Tua for laughing on the sidelines late in the game, including moments with Jalen Ramsey, questioning his focus and leadership. The conversation also critiques Mike McDaniel for overusing early timeouts and highlights broader coaching issues, including the team having too many voices on the staff.

The Dolphins officially bench Tua Tagovailoa, and Joe and Dave dive into how the franchise reached this point, tracing the path back through years of questionable decisions. They revisit the Brian Flores–Tua drama from 2020 and argue the Dolphins never should have committed to Tua with a massive contract. The discussion breaks down Tua's limitations pushing the ball downfield and why those issues ultimately forced Miami's hand. Mike McDaniel says Quinn Ewers gives the Dolphins the best chance to win.

The segment explores what the Dolphins hope to accomplish in the final three games of the season, debating whether rookie Quinn Ewers is being evaluated as a long-term option or simply as a bridge to the offseason. Dave Hyde assumes Miami will look for a new quarterback next year, while Kim Bokamper urges caution before making that assumption. The discussion also touches on Zach Wilson's underperformance and attitude, the stability of other NFL quarterbacks like Joe Burrow, and emphasizes that building a solid organizational structure is the most critical piece of the Dolphins' rebuild.

The segment discusses Tua Tagovailoa's reaction after being benched, noting that he acted professionally with the media despite a season full of questionable press conference comments. Joe and Dave explore whether Tua has lost confidence in himself, if Mike McDaniel has lost confidence in him, and how the game plan has reflected that. They also touch on WR Jaylen Waddle's apparent frustration and highlight broader organizational issues, including the need for better scouting from top to bottom and a history of missed draft picks.

Quinn Ewers prepares for his first NFL start after choosing the pros over another year in college, giving the Dolphins a chance to see exactly what they have at quarterback. Dave admits he doesn't know what to expect and isn't setting high expectations, while Joe views this as an evaluation period that could come with some growing pains — and possibly a better draft position. The conversation expands into a bigger-picture reset, discussing the need to reevaluate the organization from the top down, including scouting and long-term roster building. The guys also touch on Miami's ongoing primetime struggles and the reality of where the Dolphins currently stand in the AFC East as they look for a path back to division contention.

Joe notes that the Dolphins' offensive line has been solid, pointing to consistent grades across the board as Miami's issues extend beyond protection up front. The conversation shifts to the franchise's familiar dysfunction, with discussion around interim GM Champ Kelly and uncertainty surrounding Mike McDaniel's future. The guys also touch on growing fan interest in drafting Fernando Mendoza, highlighting his impact in turning Indiana into the top team in the country. The segment closes with college football, as Texas A&M's trash talk toward Miami's stars sets the stage for a loud, hostile environment that Joe hopes the Hurricanes embrace and conquer.

The hour also touches on the Florida Panthers getting hot, winning six of their last seven, and the debate over why the Dolphins chose Ewers over Zach Wilson as they officially turn the page at quarterback

Hour 2 continues the Dolphins conversation with Joe pointing out the solid play of the offensive line, citing solid grades across the board as Miami slips back into familiar dysfunction. The guys discuss interim GM Champ Kelly, uncertainty around Mike McDaniel's future, and growing fan buzz around drafting Fernando Mendoza after his remarkable turnaround at Indiana. The show then shifts gears with some lighter fare — Cuban and Mexican food debates — before diving into the Miami Heat, including trade speculation, Tyler Herro's role, and the NBA's load-management problem. The hour closes with a focused look at Quinn Ewers' first NFL start, framing it as a franchise-wide evaluation period as the Dolphins reassess their direction, struggles in primetime, and place in the AFC East

The Royals have finally announced their flurry of moves.  Isaac Collins, Nick Mears, Lane Thomas and an extension for Maikel Garcia… is that enough for this offseason?David Lesky (Publisher - Inside the Crown/@DBLesky), Les Norman (Former Royals OF/Author - Teaching the Tools of Hitting) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) discuss what the Royals have gotten done and look ahead to what might still be to come. If this is it, is it enough?- What to expect from the Maikel Garcia extension.- Will Garcia improve on his '25 season?- Where Lane Thomas fits best?- Why did the Brewers make this trade?- Can Isaac Collins play every day?⁃ What more can the Royals do?

Between trading for Sonny Gray who they could see as the number two starter, floating Marcelo Mayer in a trade for Ketel Marte, and letting Alex Bregman talk with Arizona, there really isn't anything the Red Sox have done during this offseason that makes much sense.

Then, getting into John Henry and the Fenway Sports Group selling the Penguins and the rise of loons up in Maine in tonight's New England Nightly News.

Welcome to Episode 124 of Tablesetters, and today's conversation goes well beyond wins, losses, and box scores. We're joined by Dominic Leone, a former Major League reliever who pitched professionally from 2012 through 2024, navigating more than a decade inside big league clubhouses during one of the most transformative periods in modern baseball. His career unfolded during the rise of Statcast driven evaluation, the reshaping of bullpen usage, and an era where flexibility, churn, and uncertainty became defining features of roster construction. Leone's path was never linear, requiring constant adjustment just to remain employed in a role where reliability and replaceability are often separated by a handful of outcomes. What makes this episode different and necessary is Leone's willingness to speak openly about the human cost of that reality. Since stepping away from the game, he has been candid about mental health, identity, fatherhood, and the emotional weight of building a career without long term security. From going undrafted out of high school to earning trust at Clemson in a postseason elimination game that sent the Tigers to the College World Series, from adapting through injury to teaching himself a cutter by studying Mariano Rivera simply to survive, Leone's story is defined by self direction, resilience, and constant reinvention. Across this conversation, we explore when mental health stopped being background noise and became something requiring intentional care, the invisible strain of bullpen life and living year to year without certainty, and the routines and personal rituals that helped him stay grounded during the season. We talk about baseball as identity and what happens when that identity begins to loosen, how fatherhood reshaped his relationship with pressure and failure, and why he ultimately chose to speak publicly about mental health and life after baseball when those conversations were rarely normalized inside clubhouses. We also dig into the razor thin margins that define relief pitching, the emotional reality of modern free agency, and how bullpen roles have fundamentally changed as teams prioritize depth, flexibility, and short term solutions. Leone offers perspective on clubhouse culture and whether winning creates chemistry or chemistry enables winning, what fans often misunderstand about the waiting and uncertainty of free agency, and what looming 2026 labor uncertainty means for players without guaranteed security. He reflects on what it is like to step away from a world where every pitch is tracked and judged, and what he understands now about baseball's structure, culture, and economics that simply was not visible while living inside it day to day. We close by looking ahead, what Leone is focused on now, where listeners can follow and support what he is building, his favorite offseason signing, and a lighter moment as he reflects on the one strikeout that still stands out above all others. It is one of our most thoughtful and human conversations yet, a reminder that baseball careers are not just built on talent, but on adaptability, mental endurance, and the ability to redefine yourself when the game eventually moves on.
