The NBA playoffs may be unpredictable, but at least summer blockbusters deliver.   In this episode of They That Hope, Father Dave and Deacon Bob unpack the Cleveland Cavaliers' devastating playoff collapse (RIP hope), debate baseball scandals from Pete Rose to steroid-era legends, and preview the biggest summer movies hitting theaters. From Marvel's new Thunderbolts to the return of Mission: Impossible and a much-anticipated Fantastic Four reboot, they break down what's worth watching and what might just be movie theater popcorn filler.  Alongside the movie chatter and sports rants, Deacon Bob introduces an exciting revival of a powerful small group ministry: Discipleship Quads. This free resource fosters spiritual growth through intentional, weekly gatherings rooted in Scripture, catechesis, and deep personal sharing. With new momentum and even a Spanish-language version, the Quads model is helping people grow in faith and community across the country. (Check it out at dquads.com.)  The episode wraps with reflections on Pope Leo XIV's installation Mass, his moving words of humility, and the symbolic weight of receiving the Fisherman's Ring. As the Church welcomes a new pope, Father Dave and Deacon Bob consider what might lie ahead in his papacy—including the possibility of a historic first visit to Ukraine.   As always, expect humor, brotherhood, and a reminder that our hope isn't in playoffs or premieres—it's in Jesus.    Highlighted Sections  (00:00) Postseason Chaos and NBA Plot Twists  Deacon Bob and Father Dave kick off the episode with a spirited sports recap, reacting to the Cleveland Cavaliers' playoff collapse and the unexpected shape of the NBA postseason. They debate changing legacies, cheer for the Knicks, and comment on the Toronto Maple Leafs' latest heartbreak in hockey.  (05:23) Baseball Scandals and Hall of Fame Debates  From debates over Pete Rose to steroid-era sluggers like Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa, the hosts unpack the evolving conversation around integrity in baseball and eligibility for Cooperstown.  (14:18) Speaking of Movies: Summer Blockbusters Begin  Summer movie season kicks off with Marvel's Thunderbolts, and Father Dave shares why this new team-up film hits just right. The duo also discuss upcoming blockbusters like Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and the much-anticipated reboot of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, as well as kids' flicks like How to Train Your Dragon and Lilo & Stitch going live-action.   (23:11) A Ministry That's Multiplying: Discipleship Quads  Father Dave and Deacon Bob talk about Discipleship Quads—a free resource from Franciscan University that helps small groups grow in faith together. Recently refreshed with new materials and a Spanish-language version, this initiative is spreading globally and helping transform Catholic community life.   (26:30) A Pope Named Bob (Sort Of): Leo XIV's Installation  Pope Leo XIV's inauguration Mass moved the world—and the hosts—with moments of humility and reverence. They reflect on his powerful statement of servanthood and the symbolism of receiving the Fisherman's Ring, traditionally used to seal papal documents.  (32:10) Praying for Ukraine and Papal Diplomacy  As the pope meets with global leaders, including U.S. officials, Deacon Bob and Father Dave explore the possibility of his first papal trip being to Ukraine. They also reflect on early reports of peace talks and the potential impact of a papal presence in times of global tension and reconciliation.    Resources Mentioned  Discipleship Quads – dquads.com  Homily of Pope Leo XIV during the Mass of Inauguration of the Petrine Ministry – NCR Online.

The Hall of Famer That Wasn't: Bobby Abreu Description: In this episode of Kenny The Sports Guy Podcast, we take a deep dive into the career of one of baseball's most underrated stars — Bobby Abreu. With over 2,400 hits, nearly 300 home runs, and a rare blend of power, speed, and plate discipline, Abreu built a resume worthy of Cooperstown. So why has he struggled to gain traction among Hall of Fame voters? I break down his numbers, his impact on the game, and why history might be underrating one of MLB's most consistent performers.

Last Tuesday, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred dropped a bomb on the baseball community with his announcement that the lifetime bans of 17 individuals were lifted, effective immediately. With the ban lifted, all 17 are now eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame, but let's be real; Pete Rose and 16 others are now eligible for Cooperstown. Jim covers what happened and walks through the list of all of the individuals impacted. Then, he takes a quick look into the Hall of Fame cases of Shoeless Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte, Benny Kauff, and Rose (17:35). Finally, he reviews what the 2028 Classic Baseball Era ballot could look like, which is the first ballot any of these players could potentially land on (36:47).

The all-time hit king, Pete Rose, is no longer banned from Major League Baseball, seven months after his death. A new MLB policy announced this week ends permanent bans from the sport once the person dies. The change impacts Rose and 17 other former players, including "Shoeless" Joe Jackson. Ever since he was banned in 1989 for gambling on baseball while he was a player and manager of the Cincinnati Reds, the debate over whether Rose should be inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame has been a constant subject for sports journalists and talk programs. Rose's removal from the ineligibility list makes an induction possible. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent and diehard Cincinnati Reds fan Chad Pergram covered Rose's banishment back in the '80s and joins the Rundown to discuss the legendary player's complex legacy, the politics surrounding Rose, and the likelihood he will get a shrine in Cooperstown.

The Nats lost 5-2 in Atlanta on Tuesday night for their 7th consecutive defeat. Al & Tim run through the rotten state of affairs and wonder if any big changes are on the horizon as Washington is now nine games below .500 (17-26) through 43 games.(09:30) CJ Abrams homered on the first pitch of the game, his 5th of the season, and his OPS is up to .880.(10:45) Dylan Crews struck out to end the game on a questionable call. Crews' struggles at the plate are continuing as his batting average currently sits at .181.(17:30) Michael Soroka only lasted four innings on 81 pitches. Brad Lord relieved him and didn't do well as he allowed the Braves to take the lead for good, but also did not get much help from the defense behind him.(22:05) Cole Henry tossed a scoreless inning and has not given up a run in the month of May.  Henry only has one bad outing this season, when he gave up 5 runs in the series finale vs. the Mets in late April.(28:00) Pete Rose was removed from MLB's Permanently Ineligible list by Commissioner Rob Manfred and this could lead to him eventually getting into Cooperstown.(34:00) The weekly AAA report from Josh Whetzel, the voice of the Rochester Red Wings.
