Eric is on the show solo today, and tackling a topic that has become very popular, not just in baseball, but in various different sports, and that topic is workload management. Eric talks about how to understand it, and then how to manage it. Enjoy!
Today's guest is joining us while on the road! He was selected in the 2020 MLB draft by the Los Angeles Angels. He made his big league debut on August 1st, 2021. On May 10th of 2022, he pitched the 12th no-hitter in Angels history, in just his 11th major league start. Welcome to the show Reid Detmers
Today's guest is a long-time friend of Eric's, someone who has often been confused as his doppelgänger in the early days of their careers. He is the owner of iFast, a top 10 gym in the U.S., and has worked with a wide range of clients and athletes from rehab patients to the professional athlete world. He holds a master's degree in sports biomechanics, he is a prolific writer and a masterful content creator. Welcome to the show Mike Robertson.
In the previous episode, 6a, we talked to Cory Gearrin a former major league pitcher who made a career out of beating the odds. In that chat, he credits one person with being at the right place, at the right time, with the right words that changed his life ... and that's his Cape Cod League manager Mike Roberts. So in this episode, we talk with Coach Roberts, the first person that taught Cory how to trust him and himself. If you measure the worth of a person by their accomplishments, Coach Roberts has plenty -- a college ballplayer, drafted by the Royals, two decades as head baseball coach at North Carolina, manager of the Cotuit Kettleers, and not the least of which, father of Brian Roberts, a two-time major league All-Star. But if you measure a person's worth by the people they help, Coach Roberts is … in a class by himself. So what happens when a coach takes 20 minutes to talk to a 19-year-old kid he just met that changes his life forever? Let's find out and meet Mike Roberts, a coach revered for his baseball knowledge who teaches young men about life on and off the diamond. These are Coach Roberts' lessons: 3:10 -- Coaching Pirates, Cape Cod's Cotuit Kettleers 4:18 -- 4 rules for every ballplayer 6:13 -- 1 unforgettable image of Cory Gearrin 9:28 -- 15 pitches and a life-changing conversation 11:11 -- "I beg you do not sign" 13:16 -- A risk worth taking 14:26 -- What HOF Coach Dean Smith taught me 17:53 -- 20 minutes of listening 21:51 -- I'll take the blame 25:55 -- How to get ballplayers to believe in themselves 33:10 -- Advice for underdogs Coach Roberts' Book Recommendations 'Chop Wood, Carry Water: How To Build The Bedrock Character Traits That Create Lifelong Success' 'The Last Lecture' +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Origins of The Great Unfamous Nominate your own Great Unfamous IG: @gr8unfamous Twitter: @gr8unfamous All podcast platforms --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thegreatunfamous/message
In this episode, we meet former Major League pitcher Corey Gearrin who relays a 20-minute conversation that changed his life. As an un-recruited, un-drafted ballplayer who beat the odds at every level, this piece of advice not only launched his professional baseball career, it taught him something priceless about himself. Cory spent 10 seasons in the bigs with the Braves, Giants, Yankees and others based on a mindset of owning your dream. He explains what that means and more. So if you like perseverance, underdogs, real-world inspiration, or baseball, stick around because Cory's story has something for you. And by the way, his Twitter feed @CoryGearrin is a must-follow. But for now let's hear the tale that typifies what The Great Unfamous is all about. These are Cory's lessons: 7:39 -- Google your dream 8:36 -- Own your dream 9:20 -- My first break 11:46 -- A fire ignites 19:21 -- The day that broke me 24:15 -- I'm never gonna put my happiness in someone else's hands again 27:20 -- Making a mental adjustment 29:25 -- What's throwing mid-70s mean? 32:44 -- Coach Robert's offer 39:47 -- An unexpected call from Tampa 42:05 -- Coach Robert's advice 45:22 -- Saying no to fear 48:26 -- Betting it all on myself 53:31 -- From un-drafted to 4th Round 57:14 -- What now? 1:03:52 -- What would make Cory proud? 1:06:28 -- Honor the best possible version of yourself Contact Cory Gearrin: Twitter @CoryGearrin Instagram @CoryGearrin LinkedIN profile SubStack Higher Gear +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Origins of The Great Unfamous Nominate your own Great Unfamous IG: @gr8unfamous Twitter: @gr8unfamous All podcast platforms --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thegreatunfamous/message

Softy and Dick Fain continues their broadcast live from Minneapolis just one day before the Final Four gets underway. The Mariners played a day game this afternoon and lose in frustrating fashion, finding themselves down early, coming back to take the lead, and then blowing it late in the game. This is pretty much what we can expect from this team this season; lots of offense, but subpar defense and an unreliable bullpen. Cory Gearrin looked particularly awful in the seventh inning, and Tim Beckham had three errors in one inning. Bill Walton joins the show from Radio Row, discussing all four Final Four teams, the Conference of Champions, the women's tournament, and more. Before the interview Softy asks how long of a gap there will be between the first and second questions he asks. The answer: about 8:30. The Voice of the Final Four Kevin Kugler talks all things college basketball from Minneapolis.

Kate, John, and Matthew get together to talk about a surprising first week in Mariners baseball and award the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly to the season so far. 0 - 13:00: Because this is a Mariners podcast, we start with the Ugly, which, as John rather ominously intones, “comes out at night.” Dylan Moore’s adventures in the infield are gone over and judged to be significantly worse than the 1987 classic film Adventures in Babysitting. But this is not Dylan Moore’s Ugly to wear alone: in true esprit d’corps, the whole team has come together to record some truly eye-bleeding errors. 13:00 - 23:00: On to the Bad, which is pretty clearly the Bullpen of Terror, but not in the good way you want a bullpen to be terror. Kate proposes there’s a Quantum Leap/Freaky Friday scenario going on with Cory Gearrin. The crew ponders the question: “which reliever most terrifies you when their name comes up on the Dial-a-Reliever?” Kate and John debate the merits of Texas’s development system and if there’s maybe something to be done with Connor Sadzuck. Zadseck. Sedzuck. Look, we just started getting Brandon Brennan’s name right, you’re going to have to wait your turn, Connor. 23:00 - 39:00: Finally, THE GOOD! First, some light shading from Kate about the Red Sox potentially not being very good, an assertion Matthew and John quickly shut down. We also introduce Kate to the wonders of macaroni penguins, and talk about our favorite guys on the team. 39:00 - 59:00: Digging into listener questions! Which position player gets called up first? Unsung heroes of the young season? Is the King washed past the point of no return? The crew also makes some prescient remarks about Anthony Swarzak closing games. 59:30: Matthew’s DM’s are super open.

Matthew hopes it’s Action Bronson. 12:00 – We get back on track by transitioning into the Mariners’ relief pitchers, who are the subject of this week’s episode. 17:30 – Can I interest you in a Cory Gearrin or a Zac Rosscup? 20:00 – Gerson (pronounced Hair-sen) Bautista could occupy either end of the reliever effectiveness spectrum. 25:20 – A riveting discussion of Dan Altavilla’s nutmeg slider and the origin of that term. 31:00 – Get well soon, Tui, and get here soon, prospects. 41:30 – Bullpens are very weird, as demonstrated by last year’s Houston Astros. Remember when Ken Giles punched himself in the face? We remember. 44:30 – Picking some possible entrance songs for the Mariners’ 2019 relief pitchers. 56:00 – The non-Michael McDonald questions come pouring in. 1:02:00 – Ruben Alaniz and Ricardo Sánchez are both people who exist and might pitch for the Seattle Mariners this season. 1:03:20 – Some talk about the bullpen’s hairstyles. 1:05:10 – Tyler Danish is filling a very specific niche. 1:07:50 – John introduces us to Tayler Scott, a South African pitching prospect.
