Francisco Rojas is here with a new Phillies Today. On today's episode, he spends most of the show discussing the big news about Jose Alvarado being suspended 80 games for using performance-enhancing drugs and what it could mean for the team. Also, he praises Mick Abel for an incredible debut in a win against the Pirates. Lastly, he previews the next series where the Phillies will be heading to Coors Field to play the Colorado Rockies.

  Near the visitors' dugout at Coors Field in September 2024, Cardinals veteran Matt Carpenter found a relatively quiet spot to discuss his career, his future plans, and the dramatic shifts he's seen in the game since his arrival in 2011 with the Best Podcast in Baseball.  Carpenter announced his retirement this past week after 14 seasons in the majors, and included a six-year run as one of the top leadoff hitters in the game to go with three All-Star appearances and a Silver Slugger Award at second base. This is a BPIB replay of the full episode that first dropped on Sept. 28, 2024. From the original launch of this episode: Toward the end of his first professional season, not too long after he told a roommate Oliver Marmol about his personal and accelerated timetable to reach the majors, Matt Carpenter got a phone call that could have forever changed his career in baseball. He was approached about being a coach, and he was tempted to take it. The next summer his playing career took off. There are baseball cards galore and probably a Cardinals Hall of Fame red jacket in his future that tell how that story ended, but Carpenter shares with the Best Podcast in Baseball how close he came to moving to a role in the game that he might eventually also have. A three-time All-Star who returned to the Cardinals for the 2024 season, Carpenter joins the Best Podcast in Baseball and baseball writer Derrick Goold for a conversation many months in the making. The two spoke this past week near the batting cage at Coors Field, just ahead of the Cardinals' season finale in San Francisco. From his early days with the Cardinals as a spring-training standout and favorite of manager Tony La Russa, Carpenter's career had to constantly evolve. He became a second baseman. He became a leadoff hitter. He broke a doubles record long held by Stan Musial, and then his changed his swing and late in one season led the National League in homers and slugging on his way to MVP considerations. And through it all, a coach's kid out of Texas who judged his production by how high above .300 his average was had to learn in real time as the game shifted to take that away from him, quite literally. He had to embrace slugging. He had to reinvent his swing. He had to reclaim his career. And over the course of this season, Goold asked Carpenter if he would talke about all he learned about Major League Baseball's modern offense and how difficult it has become to be a hitter in a game when failure, already abundant, is increasing. Consider the math. As batting average has grown less important, hitters are being told they can do more with a .270 average and slugging than singling their way to a .330 average, and still that difference is six outs, six fewer times succeeding. Carpenter has some thoughts and offers lots of insight. This brand-new BPIB begins as all good stories do on a road trip with Matt Holliday and Carpenter and the trouble they encountered somewhere between Stillwater, Oklahoma, and Memphis, Tennessee. The conversation also touches on what went sideways for the Cardinals' offense during a season that will finish with a winning record but nowhere close to the team's stated goal of contending for the NL Central title and returning to the playoffs. Carpenter also discusses his immediate and longterm future, which brings up the story about the phone call he received while playing Class A baseball for the Cardinals with an offer he wasn't sure he could refuse. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.

00:00 High Five.15:15 More on the Avs loss.24:30 More on Nuggets Game 5 tonight.35:00 Dick Monfort comments on the 30th anniversary of Coors Field.

0:00 - What are the keys to tonight's Nuggets game? Also, the Avs have gotten a tough whistle during their series vs. Dallas ESPECIALLY last night. The Stars players are out here flopping around and selling calls left and right. It's not the reason the Avs lost last night. Let's be perfectly clear about that. It's just a bad look from Dallas. It's not very "hockey-like" behavior.16:01 - Can the Nuggets flip that magical switch and play consistent defense? They played great D for 3 quarters in Game 4. Which version of their defense will we see tonight? Also, Buster Olney wrote a fantastic article about how difficult it is to pitch at Coors Field. It's been a nightmare for 30 years and counting.35:21 - The NHL needs to send a message that flopping/embellishing/diving/whatever you wanna call it isn't okay. A fine? A suspension? Why would they have that rule if they don't enforce it?

This week, Skyler and Evan discuss the flurry of Colorado Rockies rookies debuts in the month of April, with injuries often forcing the issue. Who will be the next to get the call? Meanwhile, is this team getting better at all? They fired the hitting coach but the losing continues and players like Ryan McMahon are mired in a brutal slump. We round things out and attempt to be positive by celebrating the 30th anniversary of Coors Field! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Colorado Rockies scored as many runs (9) as the New York Yankees hit home runs (9) during a game this past week. What's the deal with Torpedo bats? Is the science behind the innovation legit? And, most importantly, is it actually legal?Colorado has been in a winning position all four games this season against the Tampa Bay Rays and Philadelphia Phillies, yet have only one win to show for it. Who is letting down the Rockies? Are they missing that intangible of knowing how to win?Marlins gets a team Hall of Fame and Denver readies for the Coors Field home opener on Friday… so long as it doesn't get rained out.

The cards are stacked against the Colorado Rockies. Unproven talent, a dominant NL West, and the toughest schedule in baseball make for a daunting 2025 season.

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil question if the Broncos should draft Taysom Hill 2.0 in Jalen Milroe, the former Alabama quarterback. Does Milroe have the skillset that Sean Payton could use as a Swiss army knife? Could the actual Taysom Hill still be a fit for the Broncos or be worth having him in training camp? We pivot to Shedeur Sanders and question if Coach Prime is hurting Shedeur’s draft stock. We hear from Coach Prime and his thoughts on media and teams taking shots at Shedeur. Will teams be able to separate the Sanders name from Shedeur’s production on the field? DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen joins the show to discuss the rankings of all NFL, MLB and NBA arenas/stadiums/fields. Where did Ball Arena, Coors Field and Empower Field rank on the list? We wrap up the show with what we learned in Denver sports.

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to the list of stadiums/arenas in the NFL, MLB and NBA ranked by yelp and google reviews. Where did Colorado’s Coors Field, Ball Arena and Empower Field land on the list? How would we rank these three sports arenas/fields? Should the Broncos draft Taysom Hill 2.0 in Alabama’s quarterback Jalen Milroe? Would Sean Payton be able to maximize Milroe’s skillset at the NFL level? Is it time to be concerned about Jokic missing games due to his injuries? Is Jokic’s rest more important than the Nuggets seeding in the west? How important will it be for the Nuggets to avoid teams like Oklahoma City and Minnesota in the playoffs? The guys react to NFL.com’s ranking of teams after free agency. Where did the Broncos land on the list? Phil shares why he doesn’t agree with certain teams being ranked ahead of Denver.

Dover and Cecil kicked off the show reacting to the Broncos landing TE Evan Engram. Cecil wonders if the Broncos have a better chance at winning it all then the Nuggets now. The fellas recapped the Nuggets' loss last night to Minnesota. The guys dove inside the internet and talked about the Rockies' 30th celebration for Coors Field.

Charlie Blackmon had no illusions of grandeur once he realized his days as a left-handed pitcher were numbered.  He'd been a pitcher in high school and junior college and figured when he transferred to Georgia Tech he'd ride his time out on the bench, get a degree and find a job. Life worked out a bit differently.   It all changed when Chalie spent a summer in the Texas Collegiate League and got some advice from Texas Rangers Hall of Famer Rusty Greer. Charlier went into the TCL with a bit of a fib: he told them he could pitch, hit and play defense. Truth be told, he hadn't hit or played in the field since high school. Regardless, he picked up a wood bat and began to make contact, a lot. He also started to play positions outside of pitcher and Rusty told him he should consider giving up pitching and heading to the outfield. The self-admitted hardheaded Charlie eventually agreed.   He had fairly quick success with his newfound skills at Georgia Tech and got drafted by the Rockies. He worked his way up every level of the minors and finally made his MLB debut in June of 2011. Within a month Charlie had his first hit, RBI, home run and broke his foot, ending his season.   He used his rehab time to finish his degree in finance and found a new appreciation for baseball and the grind. He'd be up and down from the minors to the Rockies for another couple years and then became a staple at Coors Field until his retirement in 2024. Which didn't last long: in 2025, the Rockies named Charlie a Special Assistant to the General Manager.   Listen to Charlie's story and conversation with @susiewargin on the Cut Traded Fired Retired Podcast.

Headlines and T Mobile's problems.

What about wind? - Have all of these park factors created a strikeout epidemic? :30- Pete Carroll was introduced in Vegas yesterday and seemingly won the local media over quickly. We revisit some of his comments from the press conference one last time For Pete's Sake. :45- Is the hiring of Klint Kubiak as the Seahawks' OC John Schneider's way of saying he hears what his critics are saying and he'll try something new?

Join us as we dive into the Colorado Rockies' potential shift to a six-man pitching rotation and what it could mean for their 2024 season. With Kyle Freeland leading the charge, we explore the historical trends across MLB, the team's past considerations for a six-man setup, and the challenges posed by their current rotation and bullpen. Can a revamped approach help elevate the Rockies from their struggles in starting and relief pitching (ranked 27th and 28th in 2023, respectively)? How would this impact the "Arm Barn" and players like Austin Gomber, Ryan Feltner, and Germán Márquez? https://www.denverpost.com/2022/07/18/rockies-considering-six-man-rotation/
