In Episode 49 we are joined by Devin Smeltzer. Devin is a left handed pitcher for the Florida Marlins and former Minnesota Twins pitcher. He was born and raised out East where he caught the fishing bug. Devin travels the country with the different organizations he plays for and takes along a fishing rod on every road trip. His outdoor interests don't stop there, he is a die hard outdoorsman who is up to chase any game he can.

Back to school week kicks off with a look at one of the premier 2024s in New Jersey. Bishop Eustace's Landon Mack used the summer to further his claim as one of the best two-way players you'll see, as he put up gaudy numbers at the plate AND on the bump in a number of key Perfect Game events. He truly emerged as a pitcher and became a reliable ace in both the spring and summer and last April made a verbal commitment to emerging power Rutgers and we know Coach Owens just loves Mack's competitive spirit. Landon also discusses his diagnosis at age 3 with Type 1 diabetes and tells us about the impact a former Eustace star - Minnesota Twins lefty Devin Smeltzer - had in his development. Check out Landon's story as we go Back to School on JBS!

Minnesota Twins statements limping into the playoffs at the MLB All-Star Break and why the need so much pitching help; Does the ownership have the fortitude to make a move like this; Should the Twins prioritize relievers; If they aren't going to be buyers, should they trade Carlos Correa?; Devin Smeltzer being ‘blindsided' by the Twins decision making; Buffoon of the week; NBA executives are BITCHING at the Timberwolves for “overpaying” for Rudy Gobert.

The Minnesota Twins lost their second straight game to the Chicago White Sox Friday night. Devin Smeltzer pitched three innings, allowing two runs. White Sox starter Michael Kopech wasn't sharp but still kept the Twins off the scoreboard, save for a two-run double from Alex Kirilloff in the first. The Twins didn't score again.

The Minnesota Twins almost had a wonderful come-from-behind victory in game one of the doubleheader in Cleveland Tuesday. Devin Smeltzer was fantastic, holding the Guardians to one run on a bloop hit to right. The Twins' offense got going with a key RBI triple from Gilberto Celestino that tied the game at one, and then Carlos Correa blasted a homer in the eighth to take the lead. Unfortunately, Emilio Pagán gave up two more runs and the Twins lost 3-2. They play again at 6:10 CT with a 42-34 record.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The Twins head to the desert and come up with just one win in a three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks, a disappointing outcome in the eyes of David and Dan. They look back at a homer-heavy series at which Dan was in attendance for all three games. Dan offers his assessment of the gameday experience at Chase Field in Phoenix, and David asks the elephant-in-the-room question about why exactly there is a line across the centerfield wall. They dissect Rocco Baldelli's use of the team's pitchers and wonder whether Devin Smeltzer is going to turn it around next series after a rough Game 1 in Arizona. They also consider the Twins' roster options whenever Jorge Polanco comes back, and David asks whether the Twins should get the gang back together, starting with the recently released Sergio Romo. Thanks for listening, and go Twins. Music: "Minnesota Twins Theme" (1961) written by Ray Charles and Dick Wilson.

Without top starters Joe Ryan and Sonny Gray -- and then without Carlos Correa -- the Twins manage just one victory against the Detroit Tigers in their rare five-game regular season to start the week. The Twins maintain their spot atop the AL Central, but David worries that this was an opportunity wasted with three much more difficult opponents coming up over the next three series. Dan and David lament the wasted starts from Chris Archer and Devin Smeltzer, as the Twins are shut out twice in this series and fail to keep leads in two other games. Dan wonders whether this team can get healthy and eventually be capable of winning a series, whereas David is just focused on the Twins getting through June with a decent record.

The Minnesota Twins split a doubleheader with the Detroit Tigers Tuesday. Devin Smeltzer was outstanding in game one, Cole Sands struggled early in game two, and the Twins offense showed up for only one of the affairs. Max Kepler had a fantastic day at the plate, while Gary Sánchez belted another homer and Trevor Larnach continued to drive in runs. That didn't continue in game two, when the Twins were shutout and failed to hit the ball hard. They are 30-21. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The guys sit down with Minnesota Twins left handed pitcher, Devin Smeltzer to chat about his road to the show. Devin's path is more unique than others which is why he serves as an inspiration to a lot of the world. Devin battled bladder & prostate cancer as a 9 year old kid and we're thankful he gave us some in depth stories & memories about his experience. This interview is packed with personal experiences, funny childhood memories and incredible pro ball stories. I don't think this one will let you down,

As Mitch heads out for a week’s vacation in the mountains, Tom and Jack pick up the slack to host this week’s episode. The guys give a quick run down of this week’s “Riding with the Chirp Boys” before diving into some baseball talk. Tom shares updates on a potential bubble in the MLB as we get a “way too early” preview of the postseason, we discuss the White Sox four consecutive home runs, and wrap it up with our “Who’s Hot & Who’s Not.” We finish our segments with this week’s “Scouting Report” where the guys debate The Best Uniforms in Sports. Devin Smeltzer joins the show (19:54) sharing his battle at a young age with pediatric cancer, his career through college and the minors, and his journey to earning his rightful spot in the MLB with the Minnesota Twins while wrapping it up with some talk about the current season and of course, fishing.

The Twins took two out of three from Kansas City this weekend despite hitting just .208/.284/.364. The four game series concludes tonight with Matt Wisler opening against Kris Bubic for the Royals. Devin Smeltzer is the likely candidate to relieve for Wisler after 1-to-3 innings. Kris Bubic, a left-handed rookie, has a 5.40 ERA in 15 innings this year. Bubic relies mainly on a four-seam fastball and a changeup. His fastball has averaged 92 mph of velocity so far this year.

The Detroit Tigers reportedly turned down two blockbuster offers for Michael Fulmer in 2017, including deals for Javier Baez and Alex Bregman. Those two players have gone on to become some of the best in the game, while the Tigers are in a deep rebuild. Did the Red Sox management give up on the season by not acquiring bullpen help at the Trade Deadline? Boston's playoff hopes have essentially vanished. Whether it's starting or relieving, Devin Smeltzer just does whatever the Twins ask of him - and he's been impressive. All this, plus a full recap of every game!

LHP Devin Smeltzer came to the Twins in a July 2018 trade from the Dodgers. He had gained notoriety because he met Chase Utley in Philadelphia as a childhood cancer patient. Then in Dodgers spring training a couple of years ago, he was brought into the clubhouse and the story was again told, this time with Utley in that clubhouse to meet him again.  Smeltzer has been terrific as a starting pitcher in AA and AAA so far this season, but he continues to support people with childhood cancer. Recently, he started the Catch Cancer Looking campaign, selling t-shirts with proceeds going to Katie's Krusaders.  A great story of an athlete giving back to kids that he had something in common with. Get to know Devin Smeltzer. 

Minnesota Twins prospects Jimmy Kerrigan and Devin Smeltzer, of the Double-A Pensacola Blue Wahoos, joined the Home Run On Wheels podcast to discuss their life journeys toward a professional baseball career. Kerrigan was undrafted out of college, where he had to transfer from Temple to VCU after the Owls folded their program, and then played semi-pro ball before being signed by an independent Frontier League team near St. Louis. He had his contract purchased by the Twins in 2017. Smeltzer was diagnosed with prostate and bladder cancer days before his 10th birthday, but was in remission by age 12. He went on to be a fifth-round pick of the Dodgers, but was traded to the Twins last year. The southpaw regularly visits children’s hospitals to share his story, but more to just be someone kids going through what he dealt with can lean on and talk to while also having fun.
