Podcasts about Baseball

It was a flat night on Wednesday for host Matt Perrault but Matt continues to get ready for a monster football weekend. Matt has 3 bets for you on 3 Wild Card NFL games for the Thursday episode of the Daily Juice presented by Hard Rock Bet. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A discussion the Cardinals and a chilly Hot Stove eventually ignites with this completely unrelated question: How far into your list of the best players in the history of Major League Baseball do you get before mentioning Rickey Henderson? He's the all-time leader in runs, he's the greatest leadoff hitter in the game's history, and he almost lapped everyone but Lou Brock when it comes to career stolen bases.  The name of the game is scoring runs, and few (if any) did it better than Henderson. That's part of the discussion with Matt Snyder, CBS sports writer and author of the new book, "The Leadoff Man: The history of, the evolution of, and fun with the greatest catalyst in sports." (The book is available here.) In his book, Snyder chronicles the changing nature of the leadoff spot, from the speedy contact hitters of yore to the bashers and mashers of the modern game, from the tradition of putting infielder there regardless of their ability to get on base to the analytics of prioritizing the most at-bats for the player who makes the fewest outs. Henderson leads the way with a style of play that was both ahead of his peers and ahead of its time. At about the 23-minute mark, the conversation speeds from leading men to discussing the current offseason and the Cardinals' willingness to trade their leadoff man, Brendan Donovan. The Hot Stove has been sluggish, even stagnant. And that prompts an impromptu suggestion for how to spur deals during the winter meetings with tools already present in the current Collective Bargaining Agreement. No cap needed. Although talk about a cap is going to dominate the next 11 months, and that is where the podcast hurries toward its conclusion by describing how it's not the tycoon-like Dodgers that signal the lack of competitive balance and economic concerns about the game. The Cardinals could be the canary. To which, Snyder flips the question: How deep into a list of the most recognizable baseball teams does one get before naming the Cardinals?

Joe and Dave preview the College Football Playoff matchup between Miami and Ole Miss, discussing Miami cornerback Keionte Scott's claim that the Canes are the most hated team in the CFP and what it says about this new era of Hurricanes football. Dave pushes back on that idea, questioning whether Miami is truly viewed that way nationally. The conversation shifts to Ole Miss playing with added motivation after Lane Kiffin's departure to LSU just before the playoff. The segment wraps with a breakdown of the NFL coaching carousel, including why John Harbaugh landing in Miami remains a longshot, Brian Flores emerging as a candidate for the Ravens' opening, and how the Dolphins could separate themselves by offering Harbaugh both GM and head coach responsibilities.

Kim Bokamper joins the show to break down the College Football Playoff, explaining why Miami's matchup with Ole Miss sets up better than a potential showdown with Georgia. He discusses the strengths and flaws of the current playoff format and how money has completely reshaped college football, with players now earning massive paydays. The conversation highlights Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss and the reality that he could make more money returning to college than entering the NFL draft. The segment wraps with a shift to the Dolphins, including a blunt assessment of Tua Tagovailoa's season and the scrutiny surrounding his comments and performance.

The show opens with a preview of the Miami Hurricanes' CFP semifinal matchup against Ole Miss and what's at stake for the Canes. Joe shifts to the Dolphins, addressing recent criticism, the GM search narrowing to four candidates, and the urgent need for a talent upgrade while praising standouts like center Aaron Brewer and a motivated Bradley Chubb. The discussion also highlights Mike McDaniel's innovative offense and the pressure on Miami's early draft picks to deliver. The segment wraps with coaching talk, including Brian Flores resurfacing in head coaching conversations and Ryan Fitzpatrick's candid comments questioning Flores' leadership style after his tenure in Miami.

Joe previews Miami's CFP semifinal showdown against Ole Miss, refusing to revisit the painful memories of the 2003 Fiesta Bowl. He breaks down why this Hurricanes team is built on physicality on both sides of the ball and how Miami has worked its way back to national prominence under Mario Cristobal. The conversation also touches on the changing landscape of college sports, from the NIL and transfer portal era to renewed institutional support for both athletics and academics. Joe highlights Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss' remarkable journey from D2 Ferris State to starring on the CFP stage and explores whether his future could eventually include a fit in Miami at the next level.

Hour 1 includes Joe previewing the Miami Hurricanes' CFP semifinal showdown against Ole Miss and what's at stake for the Canes on the national stage. The focus also remains on the Dolphins, as Joe puts the organization under the microscope with the GM search narrowed to four candidates and Miami emerging as a serious player in the John Harbaugh sweepstakes. He breaks down why roster deficiencies have given Mike McDaniel some benefit of the doubt, while emphasizing the need for major talent upgrades and more production from early draft picks. Plus, Brian Flores resurfacing in head coaching talks and Ryan Fitzpatrick's blunt assessment of Flores' tenure in Miami.

A lot to discuss in tonight's Headlines including a reset on the firing of John Harbaugh, another MLB move that the Red Sox aren't a part of, and the Athletics looking for a new name when they move to Las Vegas.

During tonight's Headlines, Arcand tries to point the finger away from John Henry and more at Tom Werner. What should we make of a reported "willingness" to spend big by the Red Sox to get Alex Bregman back? Then, a shoutout to two local artists who are going viral for their own Drake Maye anthem in the New England Nightly News. And, diving into the rest of the NFL playoff slate and which games are the most compelling.

The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show for Wednesday, January 7th, 2026.

In this week's new discussion, the story of a Yankees prospect who might have made it if not for a certain United Nations police action overseas. Then we return to 2017 for a look back at one of the show's earliest episodes and what was happening in the game on the days the United States went to war. Gee, I wonder what brough that one to mind? 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?

Joe breaks down the Dolphins' 2025 roster, highlighting surprising standouts like cornerbacks Rasul Douglas and Jack Jones while noting that this year's rookies largely underwhelmed. He discusses the team's lack of true playmakers, with De'Von Achane standing out as one of the few exceptions. The conversation turns to Jaylen Waddle, critiquing how he's often removed from the game plan and why the team isn't getting the most out of his talent. Joe also praises Bradley Chubb, despite speculation that salary cap issues could force Miami to cut him, emphasizing that, ultimately, all major decisions come down to owner Stephen Ross.

Hour 3 opens with Joe and Dave previewing the Miami Hurricanes ahead of their CFP semifinal against Ole Miss, highlighting Rueben Bain's dominance, Malachi Toney's limited role, and Akheem Mesidor's rising NFL draft stock. They also take a look at the biggest NFL playoff matchups of the weekend and give praise to Aaron Rodgers for his incredible season at age 41. The focus then shifts to local pro sports, breaking down the Miami Heat's inconsistency and talent issues and the Panthers' struggles on the road, Barkov's potential return, and possible moves at the trade deadline. The hour wraps with some lighter moments as Joe and Dave roast Jamie over his dating life, sharing stories from college recruitment and offering brutally funny advice.

The Dolphins add another name to their GM search with a Chargers assistant, a move that could hint at a potential connection to John Harbaugh. Joe and Dave discuss the best possible landing spot for Harbaugh, comparing Miami to other options like Atlanta and Tennessee. The discussion also revisits how Mike McDaniel managed to keep his job without Chris Grier and dependable quarterback play, winning four straight games despite major struggles under center. The segment wraps with a hard look at Tua Tagovailoa's contract, questioning whether internal loyalty outweighed what was best for the organization.

Joe breaks down the Miami Heat and Florida Panthers after tough road losses, highlighting the challenges both teams face. The Heat remain inconsistent, with flashes of talent but missing a true superstar to carry the team. Meanwhile, the Panthers also struggled in Toronto, and Joe discusses Aleksander Barkov's potential return, a grueling upcoming road schedule, and whether GM Bill Zito could make a move at the trade deadline to shake things up

Joe and Dave weigh in on the Dolphins' offseason, arguing that Miami should make a strong push to bring in John Harbaugh, “handing him the keys” to the franchise.

The discussion turns to the team's overall offseason outlook, the tough decisions facing Stephen Ross, and the need for bold, smart moves to set the Dolphins up for success.

The conversation shifts to John Harbaugh, with Joe and Dave urging Miami to “hand him the keys” and discussing his potential to build an organization, not just coach. They also break down recent quarterback classes and debate whether the Dolphins should draft a QB every year, stressing the need for bold, smart decisions to get the franchise moving in the right direction.

Hour 1 opens with Joe and Dave reacting to the Ravens firing John Harbaugh and making the case that the Dolphins should aggressively pursue him, pointing to Miami's history with the Harbaugh family. They firmly dismiss the idea that Tua Tagovailoa can return next season and succeed, arguing his benching was an organizational decision and a clear sign his time in Miami is over. The conversation also examines potential landing spots for Harbaugh and why Miami could make the most sense. The hour wraps with questions surrounding the Dolphins' GM search, including the growing list of candidates with 49ers ties and what it says about the franchise's direction.

The Miami Hurricanes are set to compete in the College Football Playoff semifinals as they prepare for a dangerous Ole Miss team dealing with plenty of off-field distractions. Despite the turmoil, Ole Miss brings an explosive offense averaging 37 points per game and added motivation after Lane Kiffin's departure just before the playoff. The discussion highlights Miami's dramatic defensive turnaround from last season, crediting the unit's growth and consistency.

The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show with Meghan Ottolini, Jon Lyons, and Justin Turpin filling in on Tuesday, January 6th, 2026.

Mego, Lyons, and Turp get into some potential rumors regarding Josh McDaniels and the rest of the Patriots' front office. Will the offensive coordinator get a head coaching offer and will he actually accept it? Then, everyone should hope the holy trinity of Mike Vrabel, Eliot Wolf, and Ryan Cowden stick together in the Pats' front office otherwise it could all blow up. And, more has come out about just how aggressive the Red Sox are to bring back Alex Bregman, but either way both sides need each other and should make it happen.

Ben & Woods start the 8am hour with Woodsy and Paul talking about how nervous they are for this time tomorrow when they both take off to head to Arizona for Padres Fantasy Camp, and Ben will be left in the studio for the last 2 hours of the show alone with our boss Adam...

Ben, Woods, and Paul are here for you on a Wednesday morning! We start the show with a little foreplay and hear a clip of some cringey "news anchor banter" from Ben last night, and Woodsy talks about doing something later tonight that he has not done in 16 years. Then we set the menu for today's show before we talk a little hoops as San Diego State beat Nevada in Reno last night 73-68! Listen here!

Ben & Woods kick off the 7am hour talking a little football as a lot of the NFL was shocked yesterday when the Baltimore Ravens fired head coach John Harbaugh after missing the playoffs. But was that the right choice? Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before we talk a little baseball and try to figure out why it's been a pretty quiet offseason for MOST teams, not just the Padres. Listen here!

Send us a textOld-time baseball isn't a museum piece—it's a masterclass hiding in plain sight. We invited Jim Koenigsberger, a gifted storyteller of America's pastime, to trace how legends like Yogi Berra, Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige, Ted Williams, and Rickey Henderson still shape the smartest coaching on today's fields. What emerges is a fresh, practical lens on development, durability, and the decisions that win games.We start with Yogi's real greatness—RBI crowns on stacked Yankees teams, marathon doubleheaders, and humble service—then connect it to the coach's eye test that numbers can't replace. From there, we follow Jackie's path through a welcoming Montreal and onto a hostile national stage, using that journey to rethink how context unlocks performance. Jim brings the Negro Leagues into full focus, arguing that the Monarchs and Homestead Grays could hang with any era, and that their players' versatility should reshape how we teach roles, reps, and resilience.Development takes center stage as we challenge the two-pitch prospect pipeline and spotlight simple safeguards—pitch counts, rest rules, and patience—that actually protect arms. Ted Williams becomes our hitting blueprint: elite vision, relentless practice, and mentorship from Jimmie Foxx, all bookended by combat service that interrupted but never dimmed his prime. Finally, we reclaim the running game with Rickey Henderson's playbook, showing how intelligent aggression pressures modern defenses when paired with reads, jumps, and situational awareness.If you're a coach, parent, or fan who believes the past can coach the present, this conversation delivers tools you can use tomorrow—sharper practice plans, better development paths, and a renewed love for the craft.
