Send us a textWhat if nearly half of what separates good teams from great ones can't be found on a stat sheet? We explore the real engine behind championship baseball: team chemistry. Drawing on a large-scale study of MLB teams from 1998 to 2016, we break down how player complementarities and trust explain a surprising portion of performance, and why coaches who design relationships win more when pressure spikes.We share practical takeaways from managers who mastered the human side of the game. Bruce Bochy shows how clarity and connection turn talent into titles. Joe Maddon proves that fun is a strategy, not a gimmick, sustaining energy over a 162-game grind. Terry Francona's clubhouse model highlights how empowering veteran leaders can build belief that survives slumps and setbacks. Along the way, we challenge the myth that chemistry is mystical, and show you how to spot the “glue guys” whose intangibles lift the group.You'll leave with a simple coaching blueprint: recruit for fit, not just tools; create role clarity so every player knows when, why, and how they contribute; install small rituals that strengthen bonds; and communicate consistently to build trust before the big moments arrive. We also tackle the “winning or chemistry first” debate, arguing for intentional culture-building that moves results rather than waits for them. Whether you coach high school, college, or travel ball, these stories, data-backed insights, and on-field tactics will help you build a dugout that multiplies talent.If this conversation sparked ideas for your team, follow the show, share it with a coaching friend, and leave a quick review so more coaches can find it.

On this episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges sits down with longtime Texas Rangers beat reporter Evan Grant to examine one of the most pivotal offseasons the franchise has faced in years. With Bruce Bochy and Mike Maddox gone, Skip Schumacher stepping in, and payroll reductions looming, the Rangers must decide whether they are still building to contend—or preparing to reset. Evan offers candid insight into the front office's thinking, the financial squeeze tied to TV revenue losses, and what roster changes may look like—from Adolis García and Jonah Heim, to a potential move involving Marcus Semien, Corey Seager, or even Jacob deGrom. They also tackle whether the Rangers' offensive philosophy has stalled, how Josh Jung and Jake Burger fit into the new approach, and whether the organization can finally develop its own pitching. Along the way: cat diplomacy, rescue dogs, and a little baseball soul-searching. A thoughtful and revealing conversation for any Rangers fan wondering what comes next.   Chapters 00:00:00 – Norm Sets the Stage: GM Meetings, Offseason Uncertainty 00:00:33 – Title Sponsor: Fluent Financial 00:01:35 – Introducing Evan Grant: Perspective from Decades on the Rangers Beat 00:02:32 – Bruce Bochy's Exit: Mutual Decision or Push Out the Door? 00:03:54 – The Loss of Mike Maddox and What “Respect” Means in Baseball 00:06:28 – Will Coaching Changes Actually Hurt the 2026 Team? 00:07:57 – The Real Issue: Payroll Cuts and Financial Restraints 00:09:49 – TV Revenue Decline and Attendance Drop: The Business Side 00:10:57 – Who Goes?

Norm's got a Monday doubleheader: first, a public-service announcement that the “2–5” Arizona Cardinals are the most annoying good bad team you'll see all year; second, a therapy session about the Rangers' brain drain—Bruce Bochy already gone, and now pitching whisperer Mike Maddux exits stage left to Anaheim. We break down why Jacoby “No Picks” Brissett is the exact backup QB you don't want to face, why this is a must-win that won't feel like one, and how Maddux turned duct tape and journeymen into league-best ERA magic…which Texas now has to replace.

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and Calvin Watkins analyze [00:40] a historically bad Cowboys' defense and what it portends for Matt Eberflus, the defensive coordinator, as well as Brian Schottenheimer. Is it the scheme? The players? Both? How bad is it when Rico Dowdle calls out the Cowboys, and they not only don't respond, they don't even take offense? [32:33] The Skip Schumaker era will probably be different from Bruce Bochy's in terms of communication, but it would be better if it involves better players. Does the Rangers' director of amateur scouting escape blame for the farm system's inability to deliver position players?

Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before we start to look at a list of potential managerial choices for the San Diego Padres, both in and outside of the organization, and we discuss why Bruce Bochy is already reportedly NOT in serious consideration for the job?

RUNDOWN   Are Seattle sports are even fun anymore? Six hours “chewing my fingernails and losing hair.” Mitch and Scott argue about what “fun” in fandom really means, roast Matt Brash for his walk-filled chaos, and marvel at the weirdness of Seattle beating Tarik Skubal yet again. Mitch welcomes Brady Farkas (Refuse to Lose Podcast) and Joe Doyle (Over-Slot / Future Stars Series) for a fiery Mariners No-Table as Seattle heads to Detroit tied 1–1. They rave over Jorge Polanco's two-homer night off Cy Young favorite Tarik Skubal and the team's resilience, then dissect Dan Wilson's bullpen management in Game 1, Bryce Miller's usage, and the decision to start George Kirby. The group debates Matt Brash's shaky late-inning trust, Julio Rodriguez's base-running and clutch turnaround, and whether the Tigers or Mariners now hold the upper hand as the ALDS resumes. Mitch welcomes Brady Henderson (ESPN Seahawks Insider) and Jacson Bevens (Cigar Thoughts) for a heated Seahawks No-Table after Seattle's gut-wrenching 38–35 loss to Tampa Bay. The trio debates how Mike Macdonald's defense—ranked among the NFL's best through two weeks—got completely schemed apart by Baker Mayfield. Mitch rips the lack of pressure from Byron Murphy and Leonard Williams, the blown coverage across the secondary, and the failure to get a stop with the game on the line. All agree: Sam Darnold looked spectacular, throwing four touchdowns and confirming his franchise-QB credentials even in defeat. CBS analyst Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch after an emotional weekend that saw his son Jerry Neuheisel call plays for UCLA in the upset win over Penn State. Rick describes watching from the CBS studio as his phone exploded with messages, reliving the moment as both a broadcaster and a dad. He shares the behind-the-scenes timeline of Jerry being handed play-calling duties, his pride in how the Bruins responded, and the joy of seeing his family's work pay off. From there, the conversation turns to the broader college-football landscape — Penn State and Texas now facing uphill climbs to the playoff, Notre Dame's renewed path, the Huskies' comeback win in Maryland, Florida's bounce-back under Billy Napier, and previewing the week ahead with Oregon–Indiana on CBS.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over-Slot Substack Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | From Fingernails to Fun Forest: Mitch and Hotshot Debate Whether Sports Are Still Fun After Six Brutal Hours of Seahawks and Mariners Angst 12:15 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 15:46 | Mariners Split, Seahawks Stumble: Mitch Calls It “Inexcusable,” Hotshot Still Finds Hope in Detroit 32:01 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table; Polanco Powers Mariners Even, Wilson's Moves Debated as Series Shifts to Detroit 55:21 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks Defense Collapses in 38–35 Shootout: MacDonald Takes the Blame, Darnold Shines in Defeat 1:20:50 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; A Proud Papa Moment — Rick Neuheisel on His Son's Play-Calling Debut and a Wild Weekend in College Football 1:51:20 | Other Stuff Segment: Michael Bennett defends Russell Wilson and says Richard Sherman's criticism is personal animosity, debate over whether Russ deserves the Hall of Fame, Mark Sanchez stabbed in Indianapolis parking dispute involving pepper spray, 49ers backup QB Mac Jones discovers a dead body outside his hotel before Thursday Night Football, Texas Rangers part ways with Bruce Bochy and promote Skip Schumaker, Jay Cutler released early from DUI jail after trying to pay off a fender-bender with $2,000, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's reported split includes a “no-cocaine bonus clause,” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson gets early Oscar buzz for The Smashing Machine as MMA fighter Mark Kerr, Lionel Richie claims Michael Jackson was literally nicknamed “Smelly,” Mitch realizes the real-life fighter from The Smashing Machine went to Syracuse the same time he did.
