“The future is now” is an old football saying attributed to former Redskins coach a George Allen. We get a view of the future in this episode of The Approach Shot when we talk to one of the hottest play-by-play men in all of sports, CONNOR ONION. Connor has already worked with Bill Raftery, Matt Mullen, Ken Rosenthal and others. His humor and humility are on full display as we talk baseball, football and his golf game. This guy is going to be the next Joe Buck or Jim Nantz!

The gang moves into a fancy new studio and David Brown stops by to talk baseball. How are the Cubs ever going to know if Christopher Morel can get better at third if they keep yanking him out of games late, and when is it going to cost them to lose his bat in the process? What's life going to be like for the A's in Sacramento and what's the only way to make that move a positive? Joe Maddon talked about who else to blame in the Shohei mess, which got Andy talking about Shōgun and how everything he ever needed to know about translators he learned by watching that show. They also give some rash overreactions to the first week of the season and you'll get a truly terrible eclipse joke. But as a bonus, there's a great Bill Raftery story. All that, and more. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/desipio/message

If we're lucky, we find work that is our passion. In a sense, it doesn't even feel like work. Long ago, Bill Raftery found that passion analyzing basketball games on TV. And we are the lucky ones. What we don't see is the immense amount of preparation he puts into every game. What millions of us do see and hear and experience is the joy, the excitement and the great sense of humor that comes with every broadcast with Bill Raftery. Before Bill Raftery broadcast the game, he played it (and how!) and coached it. The journey to analyzing games on TV was hardly direct. But he got there, and millions of us basketball fans are the better for it.

For the first time in a long time, Jim Nantz will not be calling the Final Four and National Championship game on CBS. Ian Eagle takes over as the lead voice of the NCAA Tournament and joins us to discuss! Does March feel any different to him this time around? How does the tournament differ from other major sporting events he calls? Memorable moments from past NCAA Tournaments? His relationship with Bill Raftery. Watching is son have success in broadcasting. Is Kentucky set to make a run? And why names make March. Plus, it's Championship Week... Beware of the bid stealers!

This week, the Weave is talking Big East - aka the most fun power conference last year. Will the upper echelon (and Bill Raftery, and John Fanta, and Gus Johnson) continue to provide us with high-level, competitive games? We sure hope so! Will UConn continue to give wedgies to all nonconference foes? What's better: Rick Pitino with a mid-major all-star roster, or Kyle Neptune with a fully loaded one? What about Kim English with a high-upside group? How will Xavier handle all the injuries? And what about the likely bottom four...
