Hello!In our Discord server, which you can access by subscribing to the show for a measly $5 a month, a user asked me to not do shows about sports. I took this request seriously as I generally aim to please, but am sad to announce that after much deliberation, I do think it's worth having a conversation about a very distinct phenomenon I've observed over the past few years. As recently as 2020, it was difficult to have a conversation about sports without bringing in all that “politics.” LeBron was talking about Trayvon Martin and George Floyd. The NFL, still enmeshed in the blackballing of Colin Kaepernick, put together a variety of initiatives around ending racism or whatever. The NBA had its weird bubble spectacle with all its Nike approved slogans on every surface possible, including the player jerseys. Today, almost all of that is gone. Sports coverage, for the most part, feels explicitly apolitical. Even the NBA's big concession post the summer of 2020 — that they would not play any games on election days and use their arenas as polling sites — came and went this year without any real interruption to what had become a non-stop In Season Tournament hype cycle. Are we in a period of overcorrection? To discuss this question, I brought on Bradford William Davis, an investigative sports journalist and a former sports columnist at the New York Daily News. Here is a sampling of Bradford's work. A lengthy investigation into Major League Baseball's practice of using multiple balls during the season. (for my money, one of the finest works of investigative sports reporting in the past five years)A look into injury and labor concerns in the NFL An investigation into sexual assault and misconduct in US FencingTIMESTAMPS6:02- are we in a moment of overcorrection for politics in sports media? 17:05 - OHTANI TALK and did he not come to SF because of crime, homelessness and wokeness? 28:45 - DRAYMOND TALK and “mental health” as a catch-all explanation. 45:00 - a defense of investigative journalism in sports 52:00 - JUST TELL US WHAT'S HAPPENING, REPORTERS!

In this episode, Wellington is joined by special guest Bradford William Davis, a sports journalist who has been an investigative reporter for Insider, contributed to GQ Magazine, and was featured in the 2022 History Channel film AFTER JACKIE. They start off by discussing what are the realistic expectations for the Jets and Aaron Rodgers plus if the Browns can bounce back this year and Oregon plus Washington heading to the Big Ten. Next up, they discuss Dr. J's controversial all-time Top-10 list, how the Tatum-Brown duo will develop with the Celtics over the years, and close it out by covering the Domingo German situation in which he enters inpatient treatment for alcohol abuse and what the future of MLB will look like.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin' Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.  This week, we have Bradford William Davis and Dr. Meredith Wills on the show to discuss their latest findings about the 2022 baseballs reported by Bradford in Insider earlier this month. We talk about the three (yes, three) different baseballs MLB used in 2022, the non-random distribution of the “Goldilocks” (not too dead, not too juiced) ball, the league's response to their findings, and more. We then wrap things up like we always do with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what's making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.  You can listen or subscribe to all of our wonderful Amazin' Avenue Audio podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.

Bradford William Davis joins us to talk about his investigative report into MLB's use of different types of baseballs during the 2022 season, as well as the Carlos Correa drama, billionaire owners mad that Steve Cohen is actually spending money, and Trevor Bauer's suspension being cut in arbitration. We also propose a tactical alliance with a controversial figure and put out a challenge to the show's fans. Head over to Patreon.com/BattingAround and sign up to support the show.

Are we Team Italy now?  Our Royals picks point that way. Pottymouth orders the Italian Breakfast (and former flying monkey) Vinnie Pasquantino and Patti selects Nicky Lopez, who is boots on the ground with his community involvement. Our Pirates guys include a Cleveland favorite, Carlos Santana, and a rookie record-breaker in Oneil Cruz. Dansby Swanson to the Cubs is the last of the top tier shortstop free agents deals this go round, and it gives us a chance to talk about Mallory some more. Pottymouth is taking recent Red Sox decisions as a personal affront, and she may be right. In WBC news Team USA announces more arms, Team Italy announces NCiB boyfriends, and we still can't get tickets for games in Miami. Bradford William Davis and friend of the pod Dr. Meredith Wills tell a tale of three baseballs which just gets curiouser and curiouser (if we may mix Alice and Goldilocks).We say, “MC Hammer pants,” “Day 9, the Waning of the Waft,” and “if you were sliding into third base, your cellphone would probably fall out of your pocket too.” Get boosted, fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith,  and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

In this episode, Jessica Luther, Shireen Ahmed and Brenda Elsey discuss what's going on (and not going on) as the Men's World Cup in Qatar nears. But first, they share their favorite foods they recently ate. Then, they talk about preparations for the Men's World Cup, which is less than 90 days away from starting on November 20. They discuss the mostly off-the-pitch mess, mystery and general clusterfuck that is happening in Qatar: from ridiculous lodging logistics to human rights violations to the bolstering of security and police in Qatar from around the globe. They also discuss the ways the conservative political regime may or may not confront travelers who break Qatari law and the unknown consequences of the cup for women and LGBTQ folks who live in Qatar. All of these issues are underscored by a lack of journalistic transparency, making the BIAD team wonder how anyone will know what is even going on during the tournament. Following this discussion, they preview a special Patreon segment about the Women's U20 World Cup. Then, you'll here a preview of this week's interview with Bradford William Davis, a journalist for Insider, on the latest in Major League Baseball. Next, they burn some of the worst in sports this summer on the Burn Pile. Then, they celebrate those shining light, including Torchbearer of the Week, Konnor McClain, the current US National All-Around Champion in gymnastics. They wrap up the show with What's Good and What We're Watching In Sports this week. This episode was produced by Tressa Versteeg. Shelby Weldon is our social media and website specialist.

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin' Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.  This week, we begin by discussing the blow to the Mets' rotation in the loss of Max Scherzer for 6-8 weeks. We talk about how they can weather the storm (which probably won't involve more starts from Thomas Szapucki) and how Tuesday's loss was encouraging, even if it was infuriating. Next, we talk about Josh Donaldson's racist remarks toward Tim Anderson. We encourage you to listen to the words of Bradford William Davis on this issue. For all the flack we gave the Yankees that chose to defend Donaldson (which was far from a unanimous sentiment), we gave the organization credit for partnering with the Rays to acknowledge the tragedy in Texas this week by tweeting out factoids about the gun violence epidemic in America during last night's game. Sports have always been political and we applaud the Rays and Yankees for using their platforms for good. Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what's making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.  You can listen or subscribe to all of our wonderful Amazin' Avenue Audio podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.

Dr. Meredith Wills was born on a Major League Baseball Opening Day, but it was not a run-of-the-mill Opening Day: It was the day Henry Aaron tied Babe Ruth's home run record. Her father, who grew up watching Aaron play, went out and bought his newborn daughter a baseball bat. “He was absolutely convinced that I was going to be something in the game,” says Dr. Wills. The elder Wills' vision was prescient. Dr. Wills has been busy over the past several years researching and solving the mysteries within a seemingly simple but beloved object: the baseball. The impact of Dr. Wills' research is changing the game of baseball and what we know about MLB operations. Keelin Billue is hosting this new South Side Sox podcast called “Explain It Like I'm 5 (ELI5),” which is focused on simplifying complicated topics in baseball with the experts who understand the issues best. Listen to or watch Episode 1: “The baseball: a semi-chaotic system” to learn about Dr. Wills and the following topics: What do baseball, astrophysics, and knitting have in common? What is the history behind dead and juiced balls? Does MLB purposefully juice and/or deaden balls? How did Dr. Wills find out the MLB used two different balls in 2021? Why did MLB use two different balls in 2021? What is the fallout from using juiced balls? Learn more about Dr. Wills and the articles she mentioned in this episode: Major League Baseball secretly used 2 different types of baseballs last season, Business Insider, Bradford William Davis and Dr. Meredith Willis (2021) Did MLB Use Juiced Balls in 2020?, Sports Illustrated, Stephanie Apstein (2021) “Yes, the baseball is different — again.

On today's show, Mark Simon is joined by Insider investigative sports writer Bradford William Davis. Bradford talked about his career path – from starting a newsletter with a friend to eventually (after time at several start-ups and HBO) as a sports columnist for the Daily News and now for the website, Insider. Bradford often writes about social justice issues as they relate to sports. We discussed pieces he wrote about performative unity by athletes, Jay Z's hypocritical stance in partering with the NFL, the erasing of a Black Lives Matter statement on a pitcher's mound, and a feature he wrote for GQ about an Olympic fencer – a black athlete in a white conservative sport. Bradford also addresses the issue of there being so few Black baseball writers. Thank you for listening. Please rate and review the podcast if you can.

0:00-27:30: 2021 is here, and so is Roenis Elías, but that’s not why we’re here. Bradford William Davis of the New York Daily News and Baseball Prospectus has blessed the mic for an episode about MLB at-large. As a New York-based writer, Bradford has some extensive thoughts on the Mets and their innovative, cutting edge strategy, which is trying to win baseball games by acquiring the best players. Where does he stand on the players that went from New York to Cleveland in the Lindor deal? What about the practice of pretty good teams actively trying to be the opposite of pretty good? 27:35-49:15: We discuss this clip of Bradford asking Francisco Lindor about Cleveland’s spending habits after they were eliminated from last year’s playoffs. What does this response tell us about the rest of the league? Baseball players’ general lack of knowledge about the union and labor relations, detailed in this 2019 article by Stephanie Apstein, also seems like an issue. Kate openly asks if the Tampa Bay Rays are a pyramid scheme. Matthew makes his claim for abolishing divisions and a new system for determining who gets the No. 1 overall pick. Bradford calls people who care about the draft “dorks”.  49:20-1:03:00: The Mets are interested in…Kyle Seager? Is this anything? You have to think Jerry Dipoto will at least make a phone call or six to Queens, just for old times’ sake. Right around this point the episode takes a vicious left turn toward blaccents, hip-hop tattoos, how every white guy is named Tyler, and public masturbation.  1:03:05-1:19:57: Getting back on track by forcing Bradford to talk about the Seattle Mariners before we say goodbye. Terms like “upside” and “not embarrassing” are bandied about.  Music: “ST. PERCY” by BROCKHAMPTON // “Fade Away” by Susanne Sundfør Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
