Podcast appearances and mentions of blaine boyer

Blaine Boyer pitched for 12 years in the major leagues, predominantly as a relief pitcher who was used in high leverage situations. Naturally, he and "Get in the Game" host Scott Linebrink share a bond and an affinity for relief pitching. Their friendship stretches beyond baseball, though, and into the world of service. Boyer and Linebrink have served together on international mission trips and worked together in various missions-based projects, like Water Mission. In November 2015, along with former major leaguer Adam LaRoche, Boyer spent 10 days with the non-profit The Exodus Project in Southeast Asian brothels doing undercover work to help rescue underage sex slaves. In this episode, Boyer shares his experience serving internationally and talks about what it looks like to serve out of a genuine heart and not with a "savior mentality." "Get in the Game" is part of the Sports Spectrum Podcast Network. If you enjoyed this conversation, we know you'll enjoy these as well: — Jason Standridge – Former Professional Baseball Player — Brad Henderson – Pittsburgh Pirates & Penguins Team Chaplain — Luke Weaver – Arizona Diamondbacks Pitcher

In this episode, I discuss my interview with MLB pitcher Blaine Boyer and how God called him into a unique service. What will you do?

  Due to several big-time free agents still unsigned, some MLB players are talking players strike. Chip and Cern dig little into what started the 1994 MLB Strike. Chip and Cern review the Adam Wainwright clip where he is talking about a strike. Find out who is still unsigned, how much are they making and some Giants salary talk on this episode of the Chip and Cern Show.    Bryce Harper and Manny Machado are the two biggest free agents that are yet to be signed and many think that owners are colluding against these big players and their contracts.    Chip has some tips on how to get the strike does not look like some money grab.    Chip and Cern learn up about what caused the 1994 strike and how it affected the game after that.    Chip just starts reading off some stats from the 1994 strike-shortened season.    Cern has a great point in saying the game of baseball isn’t ready for a strike. Attendance is down, and the game is tough to keep up with, so a strike isn’t a good one to take for the MLB.   Here are the remaining free agents for 2019 MLB:   Catchers Martin Maldonado (32, 0.9) Matt Wieters (33, 0.9) First basemen Hanley Ramirez (35, -0.2) Logan Morrison (31, -0.7) Second basemen Josh Harrison (31, 0.3)  Logan Forsythe (32, -0.2) Brandon Phillips (38, -0.3) Third basemen Chase Headley (35, -0.4) Danny Valencia (34, -0.4) Jose Reyes (36, -0.9) Shortstops Manny Machado (26 years old, 6.2 WAR) Jose Iglesias (29, 2.5) Left fielders Marwin Gonzalez (30, 1.6) Denard Span (35, 1.5) Craig Gentry (35, 0.6) Matt Holliday (39, 0.1) Center fielders Adam Jones (33, 0.5) Austin Jackson (32, -1.0) Right fielders Bryce Harper (26 years old, 3.5 WAR) Carlos Gonzalez (33, 1.7) Jose Bautista (38, 1.0) Carlos Gomez (33, -0.5) Chris Young (35, -0.5) Designated hitters Evan Gattis (32, 0.0) Starting pitchers Dallas Keuchel (31, 3.6) Gio Gonzalez (33, 2.0) Clay Buchholz (34, 1.9) James Shields (37, 0.8) Edwin Jackson (35, 0.7) Doug Fister (35, 0.3) -- Retired (2/13).

The Royals lost every game since our last episode. Some by blowout, some by blown save. Shaky offense, shaky bullpen, and not enough starting pitching.It's rough.Is there help on the way? Well, things can probably only get better, right? There are some players performing in the minor leagues who could help and even Salvador Perez may be closer to returning than we had figured three weeks ago - or even last week!Will a couple of bullpen moves and the return of Salvy be enough to take the Royals from dreadful to at least watchable? Are the Dark Days back? Or, to paraphrase Buddy Bell, could it get even worse?Follow the Vault at @KCBaseballVault. Follow host Jeff Herr at @TheJeffReport, co-host Michael Engel at @michaelengel.

Blaine Boyer and Kodi Medeiros join the podcast this week.

It’s just a whole lot more fun to watch a team that’s winning baseball games. This may not be a sustainable pace for this ball club, but that doesn’t make it any less fun to watch. This ball club is playing great, highlighted by Glen Perkins and (gasp) Blaine Boyer at the back of the bullpen coupled with quality starts from the starters and very timely hitting from the offense. This week’s show is all about feeling good. E Rolf is away on his honeymoon after his wedding last week (congrats!), but Cody, Jay and Paul put together a show that covers all the baseball we’ve missed in the last two weeks. We reflect on Aaron Hick’s time with the big league ball club, Paul eats crow (Blaine Boyer Talk), Target Field gets compostable (NOT combustable) cups, and Joe Mauer hits the ball over the outfield fence. All of this, a look at the budding young star, Max Kepler, and more on this week’s show.
