Did you know that the Yankees and Dodgers have not only played in the World Series before but that they used to be from the same city? People should talk about this more. David Brown joins to the podcast to ponder the controversial idea that it might be good for baseball to have two iconic franchises and four of the best players in the game facing each other in its biggest event. They also discuss Andy's hatred for a former Dodgers' centerfielder and listen to him forget Chris Coghlan's name for an uncomfortable amount of time. They also discuss the Hall of Fame chances of Giancarlo Stanton and Ben Zobrist (it'll make sense when you hear it), how the Dodgers' success is only to make bullpen games even more of a thing and much, much more.
Today we look back on Chris Coghlan's pretty good 2009 season. A year that saw him start off incredibly slow, but when the dog days of summer came around, he cranked up the heat to levels nearly unprecedented.

We did not know what we were getting into when we decided to do a segment on the least valuable careers for MLB Rookie of the Year winners. There are some interesting tales here involving players drafted in other sports, barroom brawlers, errant shaving cream pies, drunken horseplay, hit songs, indiscreet philandering and in some cases, really bad luck. But hey, no matter what happens after, winning the Rookie of the Year Award is something special and they can't take that away. Also, our take on Super Bowl LVI's halftime show.Here is that regional hit single, "Go Joe Charboneau." Bob Hamelin's baseball card is so bad Josh Levin wrote an essay about it at Slate.com. We ranked our best and worst Super Bowl halftime performances in our Episode 50.Check It Out:Andrew: Frank Turner's new album, "FTHC" has hit the streets.Rex: Saxon released their 24th album, "Carpe Diem," earlier this month.Craig: Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder released his first solo album since 2011, "Earthling," last week.Errata: Walt Dropo's hometown is Moosup CT; Dropo was drafted by the BAA's (pre-cursor to the NBA) Providence Steamrollers in 1947, not the mid-1950's; Chris Coghlan hit .372 in the second half of the 2009 season.

With Major League Baseball players in camps this week getting ready for a shortened season during a pandemic, Mike had a chance to talk with recently retired major league baseball player, Chris Coghlan to get his thoughts. He told us on Good Day Alabama, the no-spitting rule Major League Baseball is implementing will be impossible for players to follow. But he also had interesting insight on how he thinks his friends, still playing in the majors, will handle it. They also discussed his slide that was a highlight for the ages, his thoughts on the Astros cheating scandal, meeting his wife, and how losing his father when he was a teenager, helped shape his approach to adversity.
Chris Young burst onto the scene with the Arizona Diamondbacks by swatting 30 homers and stealing 27 bases in his rookie year. The D-Backs thought they had a star on their hands. Chris Coghlan seemed like a hitting machine when he won the NL Rookie of the Year, but the most we've heard of him since then was when he flipped over Yadier Molina a couple years ago. Who are some players who peaked as rookies? All this on today's episode.

Chris Coghlan's leap over catcher Yadier Molina to avoid the tag at home plate had to be one of the most unbelievable plays of the season. Blue Jays reporter Gregor Chisholm joins MLB.com's Matt Waymire as they recall the best moments from the Blue Jays' 2017 season.
Blue Jays centerfielder Kevin Pillar’s incredible catch reminds Greg and Wayland of their favorite baseball fets (including Chris Sale’s slider and Bo Jackson’s everything), plus the guys do some REALLY great transitions. Then comedian Mary Sasson (Upright Citizens Brigade) talks about being a fan of the Pirates during the Barry Bonds years, and picking back up again in the era of Andrew McCutchen. Finally, grumpy old man Victor Pebblesmythe (Alex Berg, Earwolf) complains about the kids in the baseball field next door and bemoans the fall of the “hoop and stick industry.” Plus Derek Jeter, Chris Coghlan, Mark Buehrle, Francisco Cervelli, Javier Baez, Vladimir Guerrero, Bobby Bonilla, Manny Machado and lots more.

What's that all about?Trevor Cahill is being stretched out at Triple-A to start, so what does that mean for the rest of the rotation.All those questions and more, along with our Question of the Week, which Ryan tackles. It's about Chris Coghlan vs. Tommy LaStella.Isaac's At Bat of the Week is a heads-up sac fly by Dexter Fowler, along with great baserunning from Matt Szczur himself.
The Cubs surprise everyone and trade for Chris Coghlan. With him and Almora now on the roster, how does playing time look moving forward? The guys touch a little bit on the draft (and the Cardinals' draft) as well as the whole "how long can they carry three catchers?" ordeal. What's up with that?Joel's 60 Seconds with a former Cub goes for some prose with Bryan LaHair. Ryan's Question of the week pitts Javy Baez against Addison Russell. Isaac's At Bat of the Week hopes Jason Heyward has finally reached a turning point.

Also, Isaac professes his undying love for Addison Russell.Isaac talks about FIP for the stat of the week and Ryan takes our first ever fan question.And thank you to the Drive-By Truckers for allowing us to use their track for the intro and outtro on the podcast!
What fueled Cubs' outfielder Chris Coghlan to use statistics to help turn his career around? Coghlan joins Statcast's Mike Petriello to explain how talking to the right people and understanding why statistics like slugging, on base percentage and route efficiency could turn him into a more complete, above average player. Plus, the guys discuss how manager Joe Maddon's decision making and confidence helped the Cubs earn 24 more wins in 2015.
We are off and running with classic 2020 All-Star material in discussing Randal Grichuk’s elbow injury. Names like Aaron Hicks and Chris Coghlan are bandied about. We move on to King Felix’s troubles. I’m a little more worried than Todd, but the more interesting discussion is should you try to move Felix if you’re looking to rebuild? Next we delve into a weird discussion about borderline playable OFs. The name on the bottom of my list might surprise you. Finally, Todd goes on a rant about how Billy Hamilton is actually Willy Mayes Hayes and the manager should implement a 10 pushups for every flyball rule. It would kind of be great to watch a guy drop down and do 10 pushups during a game ala Major League, right?!? As always, check us out on Twitter @2020AllStars, Instagram 2020AllStars, and iTunes.
