Podcast appearances and mentions of Craig Kimbrel

Patti defends Baltimore's City Connect choices – it's high concept, people. We discuss booing by fans AND by moms (We don't like it but it seems to work for Trea). Adley goofs off at the MLB flagship store. Luke Raley strikes out Vladdy, then gets lit up. Christopher Morel can't stop raking. Craig Kimbrel reaches a milestone. In the Police Blotter, The Dodgers apologize to the Sisters, Glen Kuiper gets fired for his not-really-a-flub, and Aaron Boone keeps on getting tossed, this time for “expectorating.” Summer collegiate leagues are starting, and Broxton Rocks Marika Lyszczyk becomes the first woman in the Futures Collegiate Baseball League. Good luck to Venezuela's Francys Sandoval, the only girl playing in the 12U Baseball World Cup.We say “It's a very light toddy,” “Take backsies and a spit take,” and “you can't say holy shit to that.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Congratulations to the Oakland Athletics for getting their 10th win two weeks ago. The A's are having a historically bad season and it just keeps getting worse. Today we're taking a look at the numbers and putting in perspective just how bad the 2023 A's are compared to the worst teams in the history of baseball. José Abreu also sprinted around the bases after a home run which led to a social media feud postgame. Other topics include Aaron Judge's resurgence since coming back from injury, Michael Soroka returning to the Braves after not pitching since 2020, the state of the Los Angeles Angels, Ben Joyce throwing 106mph with control issues, Craig Kimbrel's 400th save and where that leaves him in the HOF discussion, Tatís Jr.'s return to the Bronx, and more!

After a disappointing weekend in Philly sports, both Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers and Bryce Harper of the Philadelphia Phillies made lasting impressions on Philly fans. What do you think separates Bryce Harper from other Philly “superstars?” Speaking of superstars, why is it so difficult for superstars to win in Philly? Do Philly fans demand too much? Or exactly what is needed? Trea Turner has not carried his World Baseball Classic success over to the regular season. Why is there another new Philadelphia Phillies player struggling? With Nick Castellanos on fire to start this season, let's look at what Trea Turner can learn from his fellow teammate. Craig Kimbrel and the Phillies bullpen have stepped up since closer José Alvardo's injury. Are we finally ready to trust the Phillies bullpen? Should Kimbrel continue to be the closer?

Eno, Britt and DVR discuss Kenley Jansen's achievement of joining the 400-save club, whether his career will eventually lead him to Cooperstown, and if we'll ever see another 400-save reliever after Jansen (and likely, Craig Kimbrel). Plus, DVR gets overcaffeinated and makes a case for the Marlins to be an aggressive team well ahead of the trade deadline to address their core position player needs, and the trio discusses the strong start for the Rangers despite injuries to Jacob deGrom and Corey Seager.

The Philadelphia Phillies snap their losing streak and Kyle Schwarber doesn't bat leadoff. Coincidence? Maybe? Do you think the Phillies made the right decision? What decisions would you make to the Phillies' current lineup? How would you shake things up? The Phillies pitching has been a disappointment to start the season. With Ranger Suarez's return on the horizon, how will it affect the Phillies rotation? How much longer can the Phillies trust Craig Kimbrel and Seranthony Dominguez at the back end? Taking a step out of the city of Philadelphia, we take a look at different lineups from around the MLB and take our picks at some of the absolute best…and the worst. Led by the best team in baseball, the Tampa Bay Rays, will all five teams in the American League East actually finish with a .500 record? Lastly, to conclude the show, Matt takes us into the world of Fantasy Baseball with his best starts and sits for this week of thrilling MLB regular season action!

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about more examples of players whose names describe what they do (like Colin Holderman), the return of Justin Verlander, Juan Soto's overdue hot streak, Keynan Middleton calling out Carlos Correa, the difference between Craig Kimbrel's leverage and results, and how success lowers the boo threshold, then (16:22) react to […]

Dallas has the day off today after a longggggg night at the Coliseum so we got Jared, Joey, and Jayhay holding it down. Today we're talking about Scherzer's struggles to start the year and whether anything is to blame besides his age. We also opened up the voicemail lines for Cardinals fans to vent about their 10-21 start. Jayhay has zero sympathy for them. Other topics include the importance of Verlander being effective for the Mets, Ohtani's 13 K outing, whether the Yankees are legit World Series contenders, Max Muncy's walk-off grand slam, and Craig Kimbrel's decline.

Philadelphia Inquirer's Scott Lauber says Craig Kimbrel could be challenged by the new pitch clock.

Bryce Harper 'a little bit ahead' of schedule in Tommy John surgery rehab and Craig Kimbrel is embracing his role and expectations.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Here we are. Pitchers are going to be penalized for taking their time, and infielders are having to reach an addition six inches to tag a runner out. It's 2023, year of the rule change. It's been several years since these many rule changes have been implemented in MLB. Which ones will have the biggest impact? Let's start with the pitch clock. Pitchers will have 15 seconds to begin their throwing motion as soon as they receive the ball from the catcher, and 20 seconds with a runner on base. Who will be affected? A pitcher like former Brave Kenley Jansen, who has an elongated motion (including a shimmy) before he becomes set, and Craig Kimbrel, who does the vulture arm thing before he becomes set. Pitchers like Clayton Kershaw, who have a longer delivery after their motion to the plate has started, will not be affected. The penalty for pitchers who violate the pitch clock rule will be a ball with no runners on, and a balk with runners on. 92.9 Braves insider Grant McAuley told Andy Bunker and Randy McMichael that the pitch clock alone has shaved as much as 20 minutes off of the game time in the minor league games where it was tested! Pitchers are also going to be limited to stepping off of the rubber twice, weather to attempt a pick-off, or simply to get a new sign. Violations of this rule will also result in a ball or balk, respectively. No more shift! This has been talked about for years, and the change is happening this season. While I've never been a huge fan of the shift, I would have liked to have seen hitters eliminate the shift themselves by learning how to bunt or hit the ball the other way, but here we are in 2023. Defenses will have to have 2 fielders on either side of 2nd base, with all 8 feet in the dirt. Finally, larger bases. The bases are going from 15inX15in to 18inX18in. Think about that. Weather you draw it out on the floor, or just visualize it, that's a full 3 inches added to each side of the base! This is being done to increase player safety, and increase the number of attempted stolen bases and overall excitement to the game. I'm all for increasing the number of stolen bases in MLB, but this may be a tad extreme. It's not likely that all of these rules are around for the 2024 season, but for 2023, let's play ball! Spring Training games start on February 25, while the regular season kicks off March 30.

In today's episode, Connor crosses over with Paul Francis Sullivan of Locked On MLB to discuss the Philadelphia Phillies' magical World Series appearance, and how the team will attempt to follow it up in 2023! Sully and Connor talk everything from how the Phillies captured magic this past fall, to the new additions of Trea Turner, Gregory Soto, Craig Kimbrel, and Taijuan Walker, to Dave Dombrowski's work as President of Baseball Operations, to just how much this city loves Bryce Harper. Can the Phillies recreate that magic in the 2023 season? And where will they finish in the NL East?? Listen in! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In today's episode, Connor discusses an interesting question about the Philadelphia Phillies' remaining needs: if there could only be one more piece added to the 2023 roster, what position would it be at, and also, who would it be at that position? Next, a breakdown of one of the weirdest stories in the past couple years of baseball offseasons as Carlos Correa still isn't signed to a contract with the New York Mets. Finally, Connor wraps up with a little more explanation about his excitement of the Craig Kimbrel signing! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

With the Christmas weekend behind us, I have one last gift for your stocking as I share all of my thoughts on the entire sports landscape. On deck: (3:21) We're down to the final two weeks of the NFL regular season. Week 16 didn't disappoint as they were teams trending up (i.e. Panthers, Jaguars, Packers) and some heading south (i.e. Titans, Dolphins, Commanders) as the above, among others, are jockeying for position to get into the postseason. I'll break down all that took place over the weekend and where we're at to date as the AFC & NFC playoff picture becomes clearer. (33:46) The NBA had their annual Christmas Day slate of five games, which didn't live up to the hype. Sixers-Knicks was competitive until the fourth quarter, before Philly took over and won. And what's this about James Harden possibly making a return to Houston at the end of the season? (CORRECTION: I made a mention of Tyrese Maxey returning soon to the Sixers lineup. I accidentally called him Tyrone. My apologies for the faux pas.) The Mavericks put up 51 third quarter points on LeBron & company as they take care of the Lakers. The Celtics pull away with a big win vs. the Bucks. Memphis was no match for Golden State as they try to become rivals with some trash talk. And Nikola Jokic shows why he's a two time, back to back MVP as he records another triple double in a win vs. the Suns. (41:50) On the ice, things have been super quiet. As in, no games have been played since late last week. I don't recall the NHL taking a few days off over the Christmas holiday in years past. Maybe the NBA & NFL had something to do with it. The two big recent developments have been Alexander Ovechkin surpassing Gordie Howe for number two all time on the career goal scoring list. And the Hurricanes have blown by the Devils in the Metropolitan Division as Carolina has won eight in a row, while New Jersey has dropped eight of their last 11. The Winter Classic is on deck next Monday as the Flyers visit Boston to play the Bruins in Fenway Park. (45:44) This Mets/Carlos Correa soap opera is starting to irritate me. The two parties are "working through" the medical issues that hung up the original deal between Correa and the Giants. Well, I have an excellent idea to solve this once and for all. Then you have former Cy Young Award winner, Trevor Bauer (remember him?) reinstated back into the MLB. Will the Dodgers release him? Or bring him back for his final year of his contract? There were a couple of minor signings that transpired. Craig Kimbrel signs a one year deal with Philadelphia. Former Mets OF Michael Conforto inks a two year deal with San Francisco. Same for relief pitcher, Taylor Rogers as he joins his twin brother Tyler in the bullpen on the Giants as well. (55:01) Stephan Bonnar, who was part of The Ultimate Fighter reality show which put the UFC on the map and grew the sport exponentially because of it, dies at the age of 45 a few days ago due to heart complications.

AJ Pollock should be exercising his option as the Chicago White Sox will be exploring their own. Pollock is set to make a lot of money and there's no reason he will turn down that opportunity to test the market. Pollock was traded to the White Sox for Craig Kimbrel just a week before Opening Day 2022. Finally, the White Sox had an answer to their outfield struggles. Pollock put up solid numbers in 2021 and brought a veteran presence as well as playoff experience. Pollock's arrival was met with a lot of excitement on the South Side but an inconsistent April led to a shaky season. Pollock battled a hamstring issue early on and struggled to get into a groove once he returned to the lineup. His numbers fell off from 2021 and he bounced all over the outfield for the White Sox. With Pollock most certainly in the fold for the White Sox in 2023, what other options does the team have? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
