We recap our Call it Now segment from the beginning of the Mariners series against the Red Sox. How did the guys do in their predictions for this Mariners team? // The Mariners are going to have to make a roster move if they want to bring Luke Raley back up to the big-league roster.

Trying to find and alternate option at QB after Geno Smith did not work out and talked about why he was upfront in saying they wanted to re-sign Geno. // Sweeping the Dial: John Schneider went in depth about the process of trying to get interviews with Mike Macdonald and Ben Johnson during the playoffs. Adam Schefter’s latest update on Trey Hendrickson and the Bengals. Kendrick Perkins, in an elimination game, says Tyrese Haliburton should sit out tonight

This episode was recorded in Reno, Nevada, during the 2025 Western Dairy Management Conference. Dr. Hemme begins with a demonstration of three different-sized glasses of milk representing the daily average dairy consumption in China, Europe, and the world as a whole. He explains that when you make predictions, it's good to identify the two main drivers of uncertainty in your industry. In the case of dairy, he cites whether or not people like dairy and whether or not they can afford it. He goes on to describe the four scenarios that can be created from those main drivers: people like dairy and can afford it, people don't like dairy but could afford it, people like dairy but can't afford it, and people don't like dairy and can't afford it.  (4:05)Walt asks Dr. Hemme to give some perspective on what makes a country a reliable exporter built for the global economy. He gives a unique example of how American football versus soccer compares to exporting dairy from the US to the global market. Matt chimes in with his perspective on how DFA is positioning the industry for exports. He notes that we live in the world of VUCA - volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity - and that we have a lot of VUCA happening in the US right now. In general, he's very bullish on our natural resources, management skills, and technical capability in the US dairy industry.  (10:17)The panel discusses who in the world is going to be able to meet the building demand for dairy products, and what the US might need to do to be a major player - in essence, moving from playing football to playing soccer. Dr. Hemme gives culture, policy, and relationship building as potential challenges for the US. (16:37)Matt is encouraged by the new investments in processing plants in the US and looks for a “build it and we will grow into it” scenario as we move forward. Dr. Hemme agrees that the processors are on board. But he wonders about the dairy farm side - no growth in cow numbers, not much growth in production, and breeding so many cows with beef semen makes him think the US is not believing in a growing dairy industry. He also talks about changing interest rates over time and impact on capital management. (25:50)The panel discusses the US milk price compared to the world milk price, the cost of production, and exchange rates. (29:45)Matt gives some perspective on beef-on-dairy. As the beef cycle levels back out and more beef heifers are retained, he forecasts fewer dairy cows being bred to beef semen and an increase in the supply and retention of dairy heifers. (34:31)Dr. Hemme talks about dairy demand and global population growth trends and predictions. (39:38)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

It's in the title. The Giants are on a 7-game winning streak, bookended with our recording of 315 during game 1 of the streak and tonight's recording of 316 during the 7th game of the streak. They're just 1/2 game back of LA and if they complete the sweep of the Rockies tomorrow, the Giants will go into Chavez Ravine tied for first. This incredible streak started with six consecutive one-run wins and eight consecutive one-run games overall, both franchise records. They haven't lost since Buster Posey shook up the roster, DFA'ing LaMonte Wade Jr. and calling in some journeymen. Although the new guys haven't contributed much statistically speaking, something has happened to their ability to come back and hold on to tight games, get knocks in clutch situations in between droughts of hits. Some may call it a lucky streak, but it also shows the strength of the pitching staff and their resolve. Either way, wins are wins, and the Giants are hot. Let's hope it continues. Oh, and the pope was seen today wearing a White Sox hat, so that was cool.www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast

Seth and Sean discuss if Texans RB Dameon Pierce may be on his last legs as a Texan, especially if they do end up signing Nick Chubb, and dive into Forest Whitley getting DFA'd by the Astros.

Carl and Mike come back and briefly share thoughts on the Braves move with Craig Kembrell as they DFA'd him right after they called him up for an outing. They then get into some Falcons talk and share thoughts on if at all possible the Falcons move on from Kirk Cousins, where the veteran QB could end up now that Aaron Rogers is officially signed with the Steelers.

Mark Zinno, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac continue the final hour by spending some time with 92.9 The Game's own Braves insider and reporter, Grant McAuley! Beau, Mark, Ali, and Grant discuss how long and hard that flight was for the Braves yesterday when they left for San Francisco after their embarrassing 11-10 loss to the Diamondbacks, how the backend of the Braves bullpen will look like moving forward with Craig Kimbrel being called up, Raisel Iglesias struggling, Daysbel Hernandez being on the IL, Scott Blewett being DFA'd, and Dylan Dodd recalled, if Grant expects Brian Snitker to be fired, why Grant thinks Raisel Iglesias has struggled this season, when Grant expects Spencer Strider to look like Spencer Strider again, the Braves needing guys to replace the innings that they lost in Max Fried and Charlie Morton, and Brian Snitker's only regret from yesterday might be pulling Grant Holmes too soon.

It must have been somewhat depressing or bittersweet for Buster Posey to make the decision to DFA LaMonte Wade Jr., a consistent player in this lineup that suited up with Posey for the 2021 season when they both performed well and won the NL West as teammates. Yet, it was a move they had to make. The Giants ranked last or near last in all offensive categories at first base. It also serves as a wake-up call for other players that are underperforming this year. The Giants also DFA catcher Sam Huff, which is a little puzzling considering he was the NL Pitcher of the Month's (Robbie Ray) main backstop and brought up two journeymen from Sacramento and signed another free agent journeyman. The Giants were in an incredible streak of 16 games of scoring 4 runs or less, averaging only 2 during that streak, yet their team ERA was an unbelievable 1.77, making them a competitive 7-9. The moves worked, at least for game one, as the Giants roared back from a 5-0 deficit to clip the Padres 6-5 after two heart-wrenching extra-inning losses to their southern rivals. Eric and Chad break it down and even bring in some baseball superstitions that the Giants may want to consider going forward.www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast

The Nats snapped their three game skid with a 4-2 victory on Thursday night at the Phillies.  Mark (From Philadelphia) & Al open with the eventful top of the 6th where Washington scored all of their runs.  Luis Garcia Jr. not only had a RBI single, but also stole home on a double steal for the final insurance run.(08:10) Keibert Ruiz knocked in Nathaniel Lowe on what was ruled a three base error by Bryce Harper, but should it have been scored as a triple?(12:45) Brad Lord lasted five innings and recorded his first Big League "W". The timing is rather interesting as his rotation spot is at stake if Michael Soroka returns from the IL in the near future.(18:45) The bullpen came through for Lord as three relievers combined for four scoreless frames.  Jose A.

Our guest on the podcast today is David Booth. He's the Chairman of Dimensional Fund Advisors, a firm he founded in 1981. David led Dimensional as CEO and later Co-CEO until 2017, when he stepped back from the daily management of the firm. David helped create one of the world's first index funds in the 1970s and launched the first passively managed small-company strategy in the early 1980s. He received a bachelor's degree in economics in 1968 and a master's degree in business in 1969 from the University of Kansas. In 1971, he received an MBA from the University of Chicago. Over the years, David has been a benefactor to both schools, and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business is named in David's honor.

Episode 108 – Cubs Bullpen: Just Noise or Time to Panic? I kicked off the episode by celebrating one of the most infamous moments in Cubs history: Lee Elia's legendary 1983 postgame rant. If you've never heard it, do yourself a favor and look it up — it's a time capsule of frustration, profanity, and peak Cubs lore. Then I pivoted to the present: the Cubs are 17-12 after surviving a brutal April schedule. Not a single game against a losing team until this series in Pittsburgh — that's wild. I talked through why I'm actually encouraged by this start — especially considering we've already seen the Dodgers, Padres, Diamondbacks, and Rangers. No cupcake wins in that bunch. The offense has been carrying the load — leading MLB in runs scored and ranking top five in most categories. Pitching? That's where it gets interesting. Let's talk bullpen: There's panic out there, and I get it — but I dug into the numbers and game logs to get a clearer picture of what's actually happening. I broke down every blown save so far — who they're charged to, how they happened, and why that stat doesn't always mean what fans think it does. I showed how a single bad outing is inflating ERAs for guys like Porter Hodge and Brad Keller — and why Hodge, in particular, has actually been solid outside of one meltdown. I walked through game-by-game bullpen usage during the last homestand to separate emotion from results. Some of those wins? The bullpen locked it down. I compared this group to last year's disaster — and while they're walking too many guys and not getting enough strikeouts, it's not the same situation as 2024. At least not yet. Where we go from here: I talked about who I trust in the late innings right now (spoiler: it's not just Presley), and why the Cubs need to keep cycling through arms until they find the right mix. I gave Jed some criticism for not doing more in the offseason — but also credit for being aggressive with early call-ups and DFA moves. I touched on David Robertson rumors, why adding starting depth could actually help the bullpen, and what internal options might emerge. Finally, I looked ahead to May — the schedule softens up, and if this team keeps doing what it did in April against easier opponents, we might just stay on top of the division.

We talked about the different roster moves (including Yuli Gurriel being DFA'd), made bets in the Daily Gambit, and some sports court!

On this week's episode, we pay tribute to Walt Jockety, the architect of the Bash Brothers A's farm-system, and the consistently great Cardinals teams of our childhood. From there, we draft our favorite ballpark foods, and the best pitching matchups (one per team) across Major League Baseball. To wrap up, we discuss the best teams to not win the World Series over the last 25 years, Triston McKenzie being DFA'ed by the Guardians, and the absurdity of the Angels self-inflicted getaway games travel wounds.

The fifth installment of our Ask Me Anything sessions begins with the inevitable volatility of the stock market as we urge investors to remain calm amidst recent US stock declines. Similarly, we unpack the historical resilience of stock markets and offer advice for dealing with market crashes before discussing why bonds are not the best strategy for boosting returns. We examine the proposed Alberta Pension Plan, the Rational Reminder Podcast guests whose impact still ripples across PWL, how to be a PWL-style advisor, and we revisit the DFA versus Vanguard debate. We also explain why spending rules aren't for us at PWL, the relationship between the amount to withdraw and the stock/bond allocation, and alternatives for short-term horizon investing, saving, and equities. To end, we hear feedback from Atti Ilmanen as well as reviews from listeners, but before all that, Mark McGrath shares bittersweet news!

On the most recent episode of FutureSox Hot Takes & Heaters Danny Miller and Jacob Thome discussed the early call ups of Chase Meidroth and Edgar Quero, and the DFA of Mike Clevinger. They also asked the question: Can the youth movement at 35th and Shields maintain the energy and mindset with a team that isn't likely to have a ton of success with their record? Also as always the chat was popping, and they answered some questions.

Don and Tom dive into how to properly build a diversified portfolio, using a listener question about Paul Merriman's “Four Fund Portfolio” as a launch point. They explore the essentials of asset allocation, including U.S. vs. international exposure, large vs. small cap, and value vs. growth, while comparing Merriman's approach to models from DFA and Avantis. Along the way, they bust myths around Social Security, early retirement, and the tax implications of tweaking existing portfolios.

Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) and Vanguard have intersecting histories rooted in the development of the first-ever index fund. Vanguard's market-cap weighted index funds have been nothing short of revolutionary and they became synonymous with sensible investing for many good reasons, but Dimensional took implementing the ideas from academic finance a few steps further, leading to their own deserved acclaim. In today's episode, Ben and Dan analyze over 30 years of history between DFA and Vanguard, from their founding and relationship to their rise as global leaders in asset management. We discover how their approaches to foundational finance theory differ, whether diversification is mostly semantics, and how DFA and Vanguard compare to one another over 25 years of matched US-domiciled mutual funds. We also discuss which approach is easier to implement, essential insights for fund advisors, DFA's downsides despite its long-term outperformance of the Vanguard 500, and an uplifting cancer update from Ben in today's After Show.
