Orel Hershiser joins Jay Horwitz for a rare deep dive into the year he spent as a New York Met — and the unforgettable moments that came before it. From earning his 200th career win in Flushing to outdueling the Mets in the legendary 1988 NLCS, Hershiser reflects on a career full of iconic moments and unlikely friendships. He opens up about what it meant to play behind Robin Ventura and Rey Ordoñez, why Bobby Valentine was one of the smartest minds he's ever worked with, and the hilarious myth about John Olerud's helmet. Plus: tales from the Dodgers' clubhouse, broadcasting with Vin Scully, and why Ricky Henderson was truly one of one. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Intro: Orel Hershiser's Mets & Dodgers Legacy01:00 – Why He Signed with the Mets in ‘9902:15 – Bobby Valentine, Buck Showalter & a Smart Clubhouse03:00 – Remembering That 1999 Mets Team04:00 – Clinching the Wild Card: Brad Clontz's Wild Pitch05:00 – Pitching Through Pain, Grit, and Adjustments06:30 – The Grand Slam Single Game from the Mound08:00 – Winning Career Game #200 as a Met09:15 – Flashback to 1988 NLCS: Breaking the Mets' Hearts11:00 – Dodging Bulletin Board Material & Lasorda's Pep Talks12:30 – Game 7 Heroics & Tommy's Crazy Contingency Plan14:00 – Thoughts on Payroll, Competitive Balance & Steve Cohen15:30 – Shohei Ohtani Is a Fantasy16:45 – Best Infield Orel Ever Played Behind18:00 – The Olerud Helmet Story Was Fake?!19:00 – Ricky Henderson Talked in the 3rd Person20:00 – The Mercury Mets Game21:00 – Why That One Mets Year Meant So Much22:00 – Life Lessons from Vin Scully & Dodgers Legends23:30 – On Broadcasting with Joe Davis & ESPN24:30 – Orel's Plans During the Dodgers-Mets Series25:00 – A Farewell to Jay from the Bulldog Himself Learn more about your ad choices.

Adam Auslund hosts with Rodney again and they talk about the competitive balance issue in sports (mostly MLB) as one of the highest payrolls in MLB (the Dodgers) faces the lowest payroll in MLB (Miami). They discuss Tommy Edman's walkoff single last night and the pitching attrition that is plaguing the Dodgers.

Competitive Balance“ ist ein etwas sperriger Begriff in der Sportökonomie. Allerdings beschreibt er, was einen Sportwettkampf attraktiv gestaltet. Es ist, wie bei einem guten Krimi. Da hält sich Spannung bis zum Schluss. Wenn aber in der Fußball-Bundesliga zehn Spieltage vor Saisonende schon feststeht, wer Meister wird oder wer absteigt, stellt sich Langeweile ein. Eine Kettenreaktion löst sich: weniger TV-Zuschauer, weniger Stadionbesucher, weniger Sponsoring. Gerhard und Christopher erklären Grundbegriffe wie „Uncertainty of Outcome“, dokumentieren wie in verschiedenen Sportarten eine Ausgeglichenheit der Spielstärken angestrebt wird und bewerten regulative Maßnahmen wie Draft System, Kaderrestriktionen, 50 plus 1 Regel, Salary Caps. Schlauhören möglich!

Welcome to Episode 51 of TableSetters! Devin and Steve are back with a jam-packed MLB offseason update, offering you the latest trade rumors, blockbuster signings, and strategic moves that are shaping the 2025 season. The winter's been buzzing with activity, and we've got all the inside scoop! Pete Alonso's free-agent future is a hot topic, with Scott Boras reportedly using Prince Fielder's 9-year, $214 million deal as a benchmark for what Alonso might command. With interest from teams like the Blue Jays, the stakes are high—will Alonso get the payday he's dreaming of, or is reality setting in? Meanwhile, the Blue Jays are reportedly nearing a 4-year, $80 million agreement with outfielder Anthony Santander, addressing a critical hole in their lineup. Will this move help push Toronto closer to contention? In Los Angeles, the Dodgers have been making bold moves, signing Korean infielder Hyeseong Kim to a 3-year, $12.5 million deal with a potential extension option. But that's not all—after signing Kim, they've also sent Gavin Lux to the Reds in exchange for outfield prospect Mike Sirota and a Competitive Balance draft pick. The Dodgers are making moves to stay on top of the NL West, and we're here for it! The Oakland A's have also been busy, locking up Brent Rooker to a 5-year, $60 million extension with an option for a sixth year. With this deal, the A's are signaling a long-term commitment to their future—are they finally turning the corner after years of rebuilding? On the pitching front, the Baltimore Orioles have bolstered their rotation, bringing in veteran right-hander Charlie Morton on a one-year, $15 million contract. Is that all that they plan to do? In New York, the Yankees made a major splash by signing Max Fried, but now they're looking to trade Marcus Stroman. With the Blue Jays rumored to be the frontrunners, could a return to Toronto be in the cards for Stroman? Elsewhere, the Padres are caught in a legal battle over ownership control, as a lawsuit following Peter Seidler's passing puts the future of the franchise in question. Meanwhile, the Rangers have strengthened their bullpen with Chris Martin on a one-year deal, and the Royals have added Michael Lorenzen to their staff for one season at $7 million. And don't forget, potential trade talks involving Luis Castillo are heating up, with the Mariners and Orioles both in the mix. Where will Castillo land, and what could this mean for both teams' playoff hopes? We'll dive into all these moves and more in today's episode. Stay tuned for in-depth analysis and be sure to follow us for exclusive content on Instagram and X @TableSettersPod!

#nicksaban #nilmoney #competitvebalance Nick Saban's rambling of "new" lack of competitive balance because of the NIL money is laughable. "We don't have any guardrails on what we're doing right now," Saban said. "We have no restrictions on who can do what. Some people are gonna be capable of doing certain things; other people aren't going to be capable. But the bottom line is we'll lose competitive balance. Which, everything we've always done in college football is to maintain competitive balance. Same scholarship, everyone had to play by the same rules whether it was recruiting or whatever. Right now that's not how it is." --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Now that Major League Baseball's Collective Bargaining Agreement has expired, Alex and Bobby are taking some time to break down key concepts that will be on the table in the coming weeks and months and examine what's at stake for each side. This week, they do a deep dive on the competitive balance tax, looking at its initial aims to address parity and how its purpose has been twisted by both small and big market teams since its inception in 1997. First they talk with Maury Brown, senior contributor at Forbes, about how teams' attitude towards the CBT has changed over the last two decades and what rising revenues across the league have done to undercut the measure. Then they bring on Lindsey Adler, Yankees beat writer for The Athletic, to talk about covering a team that has self-imposed-but-CBT-influenced limits on its spending and why they don't exactly set baseball's financial market anymore.

Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers when he want's out of New Orleans, LaMarcus Aldridge wants out of the San Antonio Spurs, he ends up in with the Brooklyn Nets, just like James Harden wanted out of Houston and ended up in the same place. Andre Drummond wants out of the Cleveland Cavaliers, off to the Lakers.  The rich are getting richer and the smaller market teams don't have a chance in hell with the money stacked against them like this.  I have some suggestions in today's rant.  I think you'll agree, this system is not sustainable.

We conclude the first iteration of the Fanalytics University course on sports and fandom analytics with a class on league design. League design is a topic of critical importance that receives little attention. It receives little attention because it is a topic for unions, lawyers, and maybe economists. The core of the class is a discussion of how leagues manage competition. The discussion starts with the role of collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) between leagues and players. These agreements, increasingly, dictate how teams choose to operate and compete. Of course, how teams choose to compete ultimately creates the product that attracts (or repels) fans. Within this discussion, we consider the role of amateur drafts, free agency, salary caps, and revenue sharing.

Have you ever wondered why in some sports leagues, some teams appear destined never to win the title, yet other teams appear destined to win it quite frequently? This lecture outlines 'competitive balance' (CB) as being an unusual economic phenomenon specific to the sports industry - that we, as consumers of sport, actually like uncertainty! We define ways of measuring CB, as well as summarising certain policies that can influence the level of CB, while noting some of the possible distortive effects of such policy on the behaviour of certain teams and/or individuals.

Dr. Dan Ross OHSAA Commissioner talks with Vince Koza about the Competitive Balance issues facing Ohio High School athletics. 93.1 The Fan - Sports Talk with Koza - 2-6-12

This paper provides an economic explanation of the frequent rule changes in the Formula One (F1) motor racing series. In a two-stage model, the FIA (as the organizer of the F1) first decides whether to change the rules or not, and then the racing teams compete in a contest. It turns out that a rule change reduces the teams' performances, but also improves competitive balance between the teams. The rule change is implemented, if the FIA's revenue gain from the latter effect overcompensates the FIA's revenue loss from the former effect. We provide empirical evidence from F1 seasons in the period 1950-2003 which supports the main implications of the model.
