On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we recap an absolutely brutal weekend at Dodger Stadium during which Mookie Betts broke a bone in his left hand and Yoshinobu Yamamoto suffered a strained rotator cuff. Both are expected to miss several weeks, if not months. Craig Goldstein at Baseball Prospectus shared data from the site's injury recovery database, showing recent pitchers with a rotator cuff strain miss an average of 64 days, while a broken hand averages 53 days away. We'll dig into more details on what's next for the Dodgers on our next episode, but for the coming week ahead at least, Miguel Vargas will be called up from Triple-A to take Betts' roster spot, Miguel Rojas will see the bulk of time at shortstop with a smattering of Kiké Hernández, Bobby Miller will return from his own long injured-list stint on Wednesday, and Landon Knack might make a spot start next weekend against the Angels.

Blake Murphy opens the show with a quick trip around Monday's Major League Baseball action, sans the idle Blue Jays. Sportsnet's own Ben Nicholson-Smith joins the show to chat about the curious case of  Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s season, where in the world is Alek Manoah, the current condition of the pitching staff, and the heated Wild Card race in August. Following this, Geoff Pontes from Baseball America guides Blake through an exploration of prospects within the Jays' ranks who are on the cusp of advancing, as well as those who have faced setbacks (31:16). In the second hour, Craig Goldstein from Baseball Prospectus stops by for a detailed look at Vlad's season statistics, how the dimensions of different parks impact player performance, and how to evaluate team execution data in high-leverage scoring situations (52:56). We wrap up with a visit from Mid-Atlantic Sports Network's Melanie Newman, who shares her colleague Kevin Brown's thespian exploits, before delving into the upcoming AL East showdown between the Jays and Orioles (01:18:47). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

The Blue Jays were off yesterday, but Major League Baseball may have seen its greatest day in history; thanks (of course) to Shohei Ohtani, just as his Angels come to Toronto to play the Jays. Host Blake Murphy welcomes Sportsnet's own Jeff Blair for a Blue Jays trade deadline primer, highlighting what the organization's focus should be and the importance of, not only getting it done but, the urgency to do it. Next up, Zach Crizer of Yahoo! Sports' The Bandwagon Podcast identifies some teams who may be a bit more aggressive at the deadline given how big (or small) their winning windows are (31:00). To start the second hour, Angels TV play-by-play voice Wayne Randazzo stops by to discuss the state of the Halos on the heels of some major trades, before teeing up this weekend's pivotal series in Toronto (50:20). Blake's last guest today is the editor-in chief of Baseball Prospectus, Craig Goldstein, who offers a more analytical look at the deadline and discusses what scouts look for in prospects (01:12:15). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

This week on the Bandwagon, Hannah and Zach try and figure out how Juan Soto ended up in a Petco for his calendar shoot, explore the already tumultuous relationship between Willson Contreras and the Cardinals, and chat with Craig Goldstein from Baseball Prospectus about appreciating umpires.00:40 Juan Soto & the fish tank06:11 Cardinals-Wilson Contreras situation20:00 GAME: Actually Angels or Tungsten Arm O'Doyle?27:15 New MLB Rules / State of Play43:15 BANDWAGON: Umpire! (feat. Craig Goldstein)This week's Bandwagon starts with a bang, with Hannah and Zach going deep to try and figure out how Juan Soto ended up getting his picture taken in a Petco near a fish tank for his “Padres Puppies Calendar”.They then discuss the news of the week, which is the St. Louis Cardinals moving newly-acquired catcher Willson Contreras to the outfield and then deciding they'd rather teach him how to play catcher instead. It's all very weird and is another bad look for the Cardinals in the midst of a bad season.It was Hannah's turn to come up with a game and she showed up with “Actually Angels or Tungsten Arm O'Doyle?” This game is meant to show off Zach's memory and also the greatness of Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout (while the Los Angeles Angels struggle to win games).A little more than a month into the regular season, Hannah and Zach look into the numbers to see if the new rules have had a huge impact on MLB and what that impact might be. Stick around for Hannah's own ideas for new MLB rules, they're very outside-the-box.Finally, Baseball Prospectus Editor-in-Chief Craig Goldstein joins the show and bandwagons for umpires. Yes, baseball's cops. Craig says they're better than they get credit for and that we should be empowering them instead of tearing them down. It's a controversial take, but one with some merit.

A family spokesperson says 8-year-old Cooper Roberts is in critical but stable condition after he was shot in the chest and suffered a severed spinal cord during the Highland Park mass shooting on July 4. At least seven people have died and dozens more were wounded. Katie Goldstein, a loving mother and wife, was murdered while at the Independence Day parade with her daughter. Her husband Craig Goldstein tells Anderson Cooper the kind of mom, partner and person his wife was and said she “always had a smile on her face” because “that's what was in her heart.” Plus, two-time U.S. Olympic basketball gold medalist Brittney Griner pleaded guilty to drug charges in a Russian court.

Jacoby Ellsbury isn't going anywhere and Manny Machado isn't coming to the Bronx, at least not right now. The swiftness of the Giancarlo Stanton trade may have warped our minds as to how quickly things happen, but on the whole, this is a slow baseball offseason, and there are many waiting games that the Yankees have to play as they go about the rest of their winter business.While the winter meetings ended quietly after a rousing start, there was some news at the conclusion, with the Yankees losing four players in the Rule 5 draft. Craig Goldstein from Baseball Prospectus joins the show for the Farm Report, taking a look at what was lost but might return, as well as the expectations for Gleyber Torres and Miguel Andujar, plus analysis of Clint Frazier's situation.Plus, it's the debut of the Friday Mailbag, with questions about the Yankees' third base situation and needs in the starting rotation, as well as a fun thought exercise about players out of position.Remember to follow @LockedOnYankees on Twitter, and watch out for the next episode coming on Monday!

Welcome to Barbecast 111. This is the last Barbecast. As you may or may not know by now, we are transitioning to Tha BBQ Part II, aka the part where we work for MLB Advanced Media. You can read all about that by clicking here. But this is our last hurrah, the final victory lap for this audio adventure we've been on for nearly four years. As is only right, this episode features arguably the three most important guests of Barbecast lore, but we began with a large pile of fantastic e-mails from you wonderful listeners, including questions about Kelly vs. Avril, Napoleon Bookbindery, baseballers on rollerskates, and of course, a beautiful final story from OBP himself. Thank you all so much for all the kind words. Our first special guest (at 42:10) is Craig Goldstein, our inaugural guest and one of our favorite people. We talked about Craig stuff. Our second special guest (at 52:40) was the most frequent guest in Barbecast history and we like her even more than we like Craig. It's Lana Berry! Lana recently had a tweet get over 100,000 likes. We talked about that and then said goodbye forever. Our third and final special guest (at 1:05:40) is Kieran Lovegrove, right-handed pitcher in the Cleveland Indians organization and the OFFICIAL minor leaguer of the Cespedes Family BBQ. Kieran is a Lynchburg Hillcat now, so we checked in on how his season is going and how he likes his new logo. We concluded (at 1:18:15) with some details about our new job, and some final hearty thanks for all of your support. For one final time (on here): thanks for listening
