Podcasts about Designated hitter

Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins drop 2 of 3 to the Tampa Bay Rays at Steinbrenner Field.  The Twins lose their first series since May 1st, and the guys discuss the lack of offensive production being the reason why the team dropped this series. Dan wants to know how many jersey changes Pablo Lopez did during his start, and also wants the Twins to add a Designated Hitter for Keirsey Jr. David wants to know if the offense will pickup with the return of Buxton and Wallner from the IL, and how much will it need to pickup if the pitching stays this dominant. Dan is curious if Royce Lewis weren't Royce Lewis and playing the way he currently plays if he would be sent down. The guys finish up by making their picks for the upcoming Mariners series. Thanks for listening, and as always, go Twins! The Gran Group with Edina Realty TWIN CITIES AREA REALTORS TO MEET ALL OF YOUR HOUSING NEEDS!

Dodgers' Ohtani to Play as Leadoff Designated Hitter in Season Opener in Tokyo

Since 1901, in the American and National Leagues, 11 pitchers have thrown 9+ inning, complete game 1-hitters and lost. These include a pitcher that pitched both games of a double-header on the day, a pitcher that took a perfect game into the 13th inning only to lose and a pitcher that gave up an extra-inning, walk-off home run to lose. This week, a tale of the hard luck pitchers who pitched their best game only to come up short.Errata: In 1988, 46.5% of starting pitchers threw 100 or more pitches in their start - by 2014, that number had dropped to 13.1%. Rocky Nelson hit a single to move Bill Virdon to third base, not a fly ball. Lyn Lary's bunt that scored the first run in Bobo Newsom's loss was scored a fielder's choice, not a single as it appears from the description. The Deadball Era was the era from 1901-19 - Craig flubbed that somehow.Episodes mentioned:212 - Ken Johnson has a secretYou can support Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including books featured in this episode, through our store at Bookshop.org.

This week we discuss the our much disliked Desginated Hitter. We know that the DH is here to stay, but do we think that's for the better and is it even really necessary anymore? For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss the 1957 Supreme Court decision upholding the MLB's lone anti-trust exemption. Do we agree with the decision or do we wonder if it should have even come to be in the first place?Our Hall of Famer this week is outfielder Harry Hooper. He has some decent looking numbers, but was he good enough in his day to warrant his addition to the HOF? Shaking it up, we will only have a single part shot in our last segment going forward and will then discuss it. This week we discuss the tumultuous offseason of Alec Bohm and his future with the Phillies.Enjoy our new crop of weekly commercials with a 1997 Mastercard commercial and 2 Oakland A's local commercials!Please join us as we discuss baseball topics and we continue our mission to make The Hall small.

Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo drop the latest episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, as the Mets bring Adam Ottavino back to the bullpen, and the offseason starts to wind down. Connor and Joe look at other relief pitchers the team might still sign in free agency, and start to accept the idea that the Mets are unlikely to use free agency to sign a new DH. The guys go long on the idea of Mark Vientos getting a real long look as the designated hitter in 2024, before going down on the farm to see when offense might come to the Mets from the likes of position prospects Drew Gilbert, Luisangel Acuna, and Jett Williams. Finally, the show opens the Mailbag for questions about bounce-back season candidates, pitchers holding runners, more one-year deals for relievers, and the “quiet” offseason across all of MLB.

The D-backs have signed Joc Pederson to be their designated hitter. What will they do against lefties?

We continue to track the Arizona Diamondbacks pursuit of a designated hitter, and it would appear per reports they are now in talks with Joc Pederson to potentially fill that role. We discuss Pederson's strengths and if he would be a good fit to replace Tommy Pham, which to be fair is also pretty hilarious. We also give our choices for the cover of MLB the Show 24 and if we still believe in video game cover curses.

Harry Norman Turtledove is an American author who is best known for his work in the genres of alternate history, historical fiction, fantasy, science fiction, fantasy and mystery fiction. He's a student of history and completed his PhD in Byzantine history. Turtledove published his first two novels, Wereblood and Werenight, in 1979 under the pseudonym "Eric G. Iverson". He later explained that his editor at Belmont Tower did not think that people would believe the author's real name was "Turtledove" and came up with something more Nordic. He continued to use "Iverson" until 1985. Turtledove won the Homer Award for Short Story in 1990 for Designated Hitter, the John Esten Cooke Award for Southern Fiction in 1993 for The Guns of the South, and the Hugo Award for Novella in 1994 for Down in the Bottomlands. “Must and Shall was nominated for the 1996 Hugo Award and Nebula Award for Best Novelette and received an honorable mention for the 1995 Sidewise Award for Alternate History. Two Georges also received an honorable mention for the 1995 Sidewise Award for Alternate History.Publishers Weekly dubbed Turtledove "The Master of Alternate History". Within the genre, he is known for creating original alternate history scenarios, such as survival of the Byzantine Empire or an alien invasion during the middle of the Second World War. In addition, he has been credited with giving original treatment to alternate themes that had been dealt with by many others, such as the victory of the South in the American Civil War or the victor of Nazi German during the Second World War. His novels have been credited with bringing alternate history into the mainstream. His latest book, Wages of Sin is a terrifying tale about HIV spreading in the early sixteenth century. It poses the question: What if HIV started spreading in the early 1500s rather than the late 1900s? Without modern medicine, anybody who catches HIV is going to die.A patriarchal society reacts to this devastating disease in the only way it knows how: it sequesters women as much as possible, limiting contacts between the sexes except for married couples. While imperfect, such drastic actions do limit the spread of the disease.

The Designated Hitter rule was adopted by the American League in 1973. Nearly fifty years later, and with much debate that has started to quieten down, the National League followed. In that time leagues at every level around the world introduced the pitcher's replacement bat. Somebody had to be first though. And the first was the New York Yankees' Ron "Boomer" Blomberg. It was April 6th, 1973, the wind blowing out to right field, and Blomberg faces Luis Tiant… five pitches later, Boomer walks to first base. All designated, no hits, but on base. That'll do nicely. We don't have the actual game where Blomberg was the first DH, but we do have a game a few months later. The Yankees are visiting Memorial Stadium to take on the Baltimore Orioles. Boomer is fifth in the order, with the still-unusual DH letters beside his name. Behind the microphone is the platoon of Frank Messer, Bill White, and Phil Ruzzuto. You can find the boxscore here: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/BAL/BAL197306280.shtml This game was played on June 28th, 1973. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classicbaseballradio/message

The National League won the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday. Both leagues now have the Designated Hitter. Traditions and standards are too easily dropped. This extends from baseball to church… Couples in the UK don't want to give up two incomes and don't want to have kids. Kids are too expensive and furthermore, they pollute the environment… Bret Stephens defends free speech. His NY Times readers don't agree.  Did you adopt a child? If so, how did it work out? Or were you adopted? Dennis poses these questions and gets some fascinating answers from callers.  Dennis is joined by Julie Hartman… Megan Rapinoe, US soccer star and leftist activist, is all for transgenders competing in women's sports. From this position alone, is it possible to predict where she stands on almost every other issue?... Is there more nuance on the left or the right?  Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.
