Marshall Softball All-American Sydni Burko joins me on this episode of The ThunderCast for a conversation about one of the greatest individual seasons in program history, her decision to come home and transfer to Marshall, and why the future of Herd Softball may be even brighter than its present. In 2026, Burko was named the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year and Sun Belt Conference Newcomer of the Year while earning All-American honors and setting Marshall's single-season home run record with 24 home runs. She led the Sun Belt in home runs, OPS, and slugging percentage while finishing among the conference leaders in RBI, hits, and batting average. But this conversation isn't just about statistics. We talk about why a player who grew up just down the road from Marshall chose to come home, what made this year's team so special, playing for fellow Ona native Morgan Zerkle, and the culture that's helping transform Marshall Softball into one of the premier programs in the Sun Belt. Sydni also shares her thoughts on the future of the program, the returning talent that has Marshall fans excited, and why this team feels like it still has unfinished business heading into next season. And of course, we wrap things up with some fun rapid-fire questions covering teammates, music, food, Marshall traditions, and more. If you're a Marshall Softball fan, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. There is a lot of excitement throughout the Herd Universe right now, and after listening to Sydni talk about where this program is headed, you'll understand why. Topics Include: Why Sydni transferred to Marshall Coming home to West Virginia Setting Marshall's single-season home run record Sun Belt Player of the Year & Newcomer of the Year Marshall Softball's team culture Playing for Morgan Zerkle Returning talent for 2027 The future of Marshall Softball Rapid Fire Questions 2026 Stats ⚾ 24 Home Runs (#1 Sun Belt) ⚾ 1.342 OPS (#1 Sun Belt) ⚾ .854 Slugging Percentage (#1 Sun Belt) ⚾ 48 RBI (#3 Sun Belt) ⚾ 66 Hits (#4 Sun Belt) ⚾ .386 Batting Average (#5 Sun Belt) #GoHerd #MarshallSoftball #MarshallAthletics #ThunderCast #SydniBurko #SunBelt #CollegeSoftball #NCAAsoftball

After 1 week in the MLB the Rays are 3rd in Hits, 7th in RBIs, 4th in Batting Average, & not a single Rays hitter ranks amongst the Top 30 hitters in most strikeouts. The reason why they're 2-4 is b/c of their defense & bullpen but it can be fixed. The Red Sox are a prime example of a team that is not only struggling but have tougher problems to overcome. This 2026 Rays may be a sneaky good team

Send us a textSure we talked about #Yankees 9 home runs in one game last week - that's the 2nd time it's happened this season which is a first!  #Phillies Zach Wheeler has surgery and is out for the season - awful.  #Brewers #Cubs #Dodgers #Padres are all good teams and will be tough in the playoffs. #Tigers Tarik Skubal and #RedSox Garret Crochet are pitching horses which is more special than ever. #Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk steals his first base ever after 2,000+ games!  #Rangers continue to disappoint. #Orioles sign another catcher to an 8 year deal after one week in #MLB. Huh? What happened to Adley Rutschman? Our stat of the week is good ole fashioned batting average.  #NationalLeague has had batting champions for 150 years, the #AmericanLeague for 125 years. Do we really want to pull away from that long and amazing history? Batting average may not be the be-all and end-all offensive stat but we think it's still important. Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

With Opening Day being 2 days away, we decided to lay out our bold takes for the 2024 season. We provide 6 Toronto Blue Jays Hot takes for this team, from who will be an everyday player to how many home runs Blue Jays players will hit this season. Which hot takes can you see panning out this season? Which players will overachieve this season? Which players will not meet expectations? Kevin Gausman was absolutely electric in his first game back from injury, striking out 7 hitters in 3 innings of work. Even with this stunning performance, it has not been confirmed if Gausman will start in the first rotation of pitchers. The MLB has made their picks for league leaders in the 2024 season. They have Bo Bichette leading the American League in Batting Average. Do you agree with this prediction? How do you think Bo Bichette will fare this season? Will Kevin Gausman pitch against the Houston Astros? Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes, Mitch White Intro: 0:00 Hot Takes: 3:30 Average Leader + Gausman: 25:02 Outro: 30:54 Twitter: @Brayden5Ewasko @Carterfuerst2 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dialedinjays Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

Like it or not, projection systems are a huge part of major league baseball. And while the SF Giants' team projections may be mediocre (although there's still time to improve the roster), the Giants' big offseason addition, Jung Hoo Lee, boasts some of the more exciting projections on the team. Lee is predicted by several major projection systems to be among baseball's best in terms of batting average and strikeout rate. If Lee's projections were to come true—and we get that games aren't played on computers, they're played on the field—he would've had the second-lowest K rate in MLB last year behind only Luis Arraez. And the SF Giants outfielder is projected to hit for among the top batting averages in the league, around .290.Meanwhile, there was some good Hall of Fame news yesterday if you're a Giants fan. First of all, congratulations are in order for Adrian Beltre, Todd Helton, and Joe Mauer. Beltre and Mauer were elected to the Hall in their first year on the ballot. When we compare Mauer's career to that of Buster Posey, it becomes increasingly obvious that Posey is Hall of Fame worthy, as if that was really a question. Anyone who doubts that wasn't really paying attention from 2010-21. Posey was a better hitter, amassed more accolades, was the best player on a team that won three championships, and produced more fWAR than Mauer in about 500 fewer games. Posey is getting into the Hall of Fame, folks, and it should come on the first ballot.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Posey is getting into the Hall of Fame, folks, and it should come on the first ballot. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The MENTAL GAME, with an all-time GREAT mindset Athlete!It's time to get into the mind of an ELITE Performer. Imagine going from not even starting on your Freshman High School team to a few years later, being considered the #1 athlete in the WORLD in your sport!This week we're going to spend an hour talking with one of the most talented hitters ever to play baseball.However, this show is about MINDSET, not baseball.SEAN CASEY is in the studio, and I couldn't be happier to talk to the guy they call THE MAYOR.Most people know Sean from his playing days as a first baseman in Major League Baseball during a career that spanned 12 SEASONS.  He finished with more than 1,500 HITS, a .302 LIFETIME BATTING AVERAGE, and as a 3-TIME ALL-STAR.You're getting a master class on THE MENTAL TOUGHNESS it takes to achieve PEAK PERFORMANCE on those big fields thousands of times over and over AND how you can apply what Sean knows to YOUR life.You'll recognize many of the things Sean talks about because I also believe they're critical to SUCCESS in any game you play. That means applying STANDARDS, a POSITIVE MINDSET, GRATITUDE, and being INTENTIONAL at all times. There are NO SHORTCUTS.Sean also has a great lesson you must hear about what happened when he started playing OFFENSE instead of DEFENSE when he wanted to set a goal of playing college ball. It's GOLD GLOVE stuff.Sean is also quick to point out that GREATNESS DOESN'T COME NATURALLY.  Although it may look that way on the field, what you're seeing is the result of DEDICATION, PASSION, CONSISTENCY, RESILIENCE, DEALING WITH PRESSURE, and THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX.We'll wrap up with Sean explaining why you should build GAPS into your life and why GRATITUDE, ACCOUNTABILITY, PERSPECTIVE, AND SERVICE are critical to making you a better person and the world a better place.You'll enjoy listening to the MAYOR for great insights on how to take your LIFE GAME to the highest level!
