Podcast appearances and mentions of Don Mattingly

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker are joined by the Blue Jays' top position player prospect Addison Barger, who discussed how he became a left-handed hitter despite being a natural righty, adding a leg kick to his swing, and learning from the Blue Jays' veteran players in camp (17:25). Barker reports back from his assignment on Don Mattingly and explains how “Donnie Baseball” has impacted Toronto's players so far. Later on, Blue Jays radio voice Ben Wagner checks-in ahead of today's Blue Jays-Red Sox game with his takeaways from Blue Jays camp; including who he believes should be the Toronto's 26th man on the roster (37:34). 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.

On Hour 2 of The FAN Morning Show, Shi Davidi checks in from Dunedin to discuss his takeaways from the Blue Jays' opening weekend of Grapefruit League action, Yusei Kikuchi's encouraging outing on Saturday, Nate Pearson's outlook, Addison Barger's growing stock within the Jays' farm system, the early returns on MLB's new pitch clock, and Don Mattingly's influence in his first camp with Toronto. Later, Ailish and Justin present their biggest winners and losers from the weekend (29:06). 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 affiliate

Ben Nicholson Smith joins Ben and Blake for a chat about the Jays, the new look lineup and then how one of the most important acquisitions of the off-season just might be bench coach Don Mattingly. Later, the position where the Jays lack the most depth is starting pitching and although they have much more depth and defence, the bats are not as heavy this year. Next, a chat about base stealing, the desire for the Jays to be more aggressive because of the rules but do they have the roster to pull it off? Finally, the Raptors are hoping to get healthy and both OG Anunoby and Gary Trent Jr practiced today ahead of Thursday's return after the All-Star break (37:44). 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.

On Hour 2 of The FAN Morning Show, Kaitlyn McGrath, Blue Jays reporter for The Athletic, checks in from Dunedin to discuss the vibe down at spring training, Jose Berrios' slew of mechanical adjustments, how MLB's balk crackdown will impact Kevin Gausman, George Springer shifting to right field, John Schneider's approach to his first camp, Don Mattingly's individual work with Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and the future of the home run jacket. Later, Ailish and Justin are joined by Carl Gunnarsson, former NHL defenceman and 2019 Stanley Cup champion, to discuss his experience playing with Ryan O'Reilly in St. Louis, O'Reilly's leadership prowess, the Blues' regression since their storybook 2019 season, and the inherent legacy implications that come with playing in Toronto (25:00). 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.

MLB.com Blue Jays reporter Keegan Matheson joins the show to chat about Blue Jays starting camp down in Dunedin, what are the realistic expectations for the Blue Jays, the impact of Don Mattingly on the team so far, talk of maturing as a team for the Jays, why we might see kikuchi as the 5th starter again, if this is the last chance for Biggio and more!

He said while Aaron Hicks is the starter as things stand, the team is still looking for a left-handed left fielder to balance out the lineup. Brian and Ryan also react to Scott Rolen's induction to the hall of fame, and look into the cases for Gary Sheffield, Carlos Beltran and Don Mattingly.

Don Mattingly played for the New York Yankees from 1982 to 1995 and was a beloved player and fan favorite.

EPISODE 113: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Now that George Santos has been tied financially to the cousin of a sanctioned Russian Oil Oligarch, and Speaker Kevin McCarthy has confirmed he won't move to oust him, the Democrats have to run with the gift the Republicans have given them. Whatever the issue, whatever the question, whatever the talking points, every Democrat, every time, must answer: "George Santos." GOP tries to blame Biden for the looming debt ceiling crisis? "You sound like George Santos!" McCarthy asks about the documents? "Why isn't the Speaker as angry at George Santos?" CNN writes another Bothsidesist article about documents? "Why isn't CNN probing George Santos and the Russian Oligarch?" Everybody insists nobody needs to investigates his ex-girlfriend's allegations of violence against Rep. James Comer? "Speaker McCarthy? In Comer, are you worried you've got another George Santos on your hands?" B-Block (16:33) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Waffles (17:31) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: If she's secretly governor why would she run for Governor? And what do the Biden documents make Ronny Jackson think of? Drugs and hookers! Of course EVERYTHING makes Ronny think of drugs and hookers. (19:36) IN SPORTS: The LIV Golf tournament, formally tied to Prince MBS and Trump; why would baseball expand, especially to Nashville? And 1962 Met Frank Thomas dies, and leaves a troubling legacy on race and teammates and Dick Allen. (26:32) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Jordan Peterson runs a climate change denial chart that ends in 1885; Germany needs a new Defense Minister (to say nothing of 5000 new helmets), and Tucker Carlson needs you to explain candy to him. C-Block (31:02) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: CNN's Chris Licht reportedly wants to hire a comedian to do a nightly newscast you can laugh at (intentionally, this time). He and others at Clicks Not News think this is a great, brand new idea. In fact, it's a lousy old one. It was first proposed at CNN...in 2001! I know: I was in the room. And it was THE SAME COMEDIAN!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker return with their thoughts on the billion-plus dollars dished out by MLB teams at the winter meetings in San Diego, as star players like Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts, and Justin Verlander secured new contracts. After some thought that Aaron Judge might go to the Giants, he ultimately remained a New York Yankee. Jeff and Kevin call up WFAN's Yankees reporter Sweeny Murti to discuss how close the slugger was to leaving New York (18:46). John Schneider checks-in to discuss his first winter meeting as Blue Jays manager, Don Mattingly joining his staff as bench coach, and adapting to MLB's rule changes for the upcoming season (33:40). 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.

Greg and Josh discuss the lack of action for the Blue Jays at the Winter Meetings and what the moves they didn't make and the ones their opponents did make mean for the rest of the offseason, Don Mattingly's hiring, Alek Manoah's first team MLB selection and Fred McGriff making the MLB Hall of Fame. They also answer listener questions and give out a Do Over to MLB.

The Yankees announced they re-signed Brian Cashman to a four-year extension so he will be the team's general manager through 2026. What does this mean for Aaron Judge? Plus, Don Mattingly was snubbed by the Hall Of Fame again but so were the guys linked to PEDs. Justin Verlander signed an $86 million dollar deal to go to the Mets for two years, and Yankees fans were doing Yankee fan things when the news broke, and Stacey talks about it.

Alex and Jesse offer their musings on the sports world with a teaspoon of nonsense as they discuss Cal Peterson's demotion to the AHL (0:50), and how the New Jersey Devils are actually good again (4:43). They applaud Mitch Marner's record breaking point streak (10:44), and Jason Robertson's epic rise to stardom (12:45). The guys also talk Don Mattingly becoming the Blue Jays' new skipper (16:18), and Jacob deGrom's new contract with Texas (20:34). They finish with their Qualin and Schooler Awards (24:48), and play Start-Bench-Cut focused on pre-game meals (30:11).

Kennesaw's downtown thronged with thousands Saturday afternoon as the city kicked off the holiday season with a parade down Main Street. The procession featured marching bands, twirlers, and floats from local bands, along with Santa Claus himself perched on the bed of a pickup truck. The parade also featured businesses, such as Whataburger, and the local Scout troops. Fred McGriff is finally a Hall of Famer. McGriff was voted in Sunday by the Contemporary Era committee, which was formed by the Hall to consider players who starred since 1980 and were not elected in the annual voting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. McGriff, 59, hit 493 home runs during a 19-year controversy-free career that included 13 seasons of 27 or more homers, seven straight top-10 league MVP finishes and a World Series championship with the Atlanta Braves. He had two stints with his hometown Tampa Bay Rays, as well as time with the Toronto Blue Jays, San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers. McGriff was elected unanimously by the 16-member committee. He was the only player elected from an eight-man ballot that also included Albert Belle, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Don Mattingly, Dale Murphy, Rafael Palmeiro and Curt Schilling. During 10 years on the Baseball Writers' Association of America ballot, McGriff never came close to the 75% threshold needed for election, surpassing 24 percent only in 2019, his final year of eligibility, when he got to 39.8. That lack of support was a source of considerable frustration for his supporters, who felt he was being overlooked and even penalized in comparison to players who were connected to the use of performance-enhancing drugs. McGriff chose to not say much, often just saying that he was happy to be considered.   By the time early voting ended Friday, nearly one in every three Cobb County voters had already cast a ballot in the runoff election between U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock, a Democrat, and Republican challenger Herschel Walker. More than 155,510 Cobb voters, or 30.4%, have voted early in person or by absentee ballot, according to data from the Secretary of State's office. That turnout rate surpasses the state at-large, where 1,852,593 voters, or 26.4%, have cast a ballot. Early voting totals in Cobb weren't as high as before the November 8 general election, but voters had far less time to cast a ballot — one week before the runoff, as opposed to three weeks before the general election. That resulted in single-day totals that blew past the previous election. Last Monday, for example, saw over 27,000 voters cast a ballot in person, resulting in long lines at some Cobb polling locations. On Friday, the county said 29,699 people voted early. By way of comparison, the largest single-day total in the general election, which saw short wait times, was around 14,600. In Cobb, the huge early voting turnout was overshadowed Friday by a legal dispute over absentee ballots. The American Civil Liberties Union and Southern Poverty Law Center sued the county, alleging that delays in ballot mailing caused by the Thanksgiving holiday had disenfranchised voters. After hours of negotiation, Superior Court Judge Kellie Hill signed off on an agreement to extend the absentee ballot deadline by three days — to December 9 — for any voter whose absentee ballot application was accepted on or before Nov. 26. Ballots in that category must be postmarked by Tuesday, December 6, which is Election Day.   Three players scored in double figures, and Kell used an opportunistic defense to keep McEachern at bay and win their matchup 67-62 in the Tournament of Champions Showcase at Wheeler High School on Saturday.  The Longhorns, the Number 1 team in Class AAAAA, trailed only twice the entire game -- at 8-6 in the first quarter, and then 40-39 in the third -- and found a way to win despite missing 7-foot center Peyton Marshall. Coach Jermaine Sellers said Marshall could have played if it was a playoff game, but the team did not want to take the chance this early in the season. To offset his absence, Kell played the entire game with a added sense of urgency, grabbing nearly every loose ball, getting hands in passing lanes and creating steals. Each time McEachern, which was playing without starting guard Moses Hipps, seemed to get back into the game, Kell would force a turnover to two and push its lead back to four or five points, which it was the majority of the second half. The Longhorns needed to do all those things to help offset the performance of the Indians' Ace Bailey. The 6-foot-9 junior forward, a day after scoring 34 points against South Cobb, he kept McEachern, ranked third in Class AAAAAAA, in the game with a 30-point performance. The Cobb Galleria and Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre released its annual report this week, and business for both is back in full swing. For the first time since 2019, both venues were financially in the black. That was made possible due to the full return of live entertainment and events at two of Cobb's largest and busiest destinations. The Galleria hosted 187 events, up from less than 100 events in its previous fiscal year. Approximately 229,000 people visited the venue. CEPAC, meanwhile, held 178 events and brought in 180,000 guests after hosting next to no events during the depths of the pandemic. The Galleria posted an operating profit of just shy of $2 million, while the Galleria hit $3.53 million, the latter topping its 2019 numbers by roughly $750,000. The authority also boasted its best sales tax proceeds since before the pandemic. After generating about $1.7 million last year, the authority reported its venues generated $7.5 million in revenue from sales, liquor, hotel-motel and other taxes. Wheeler opened the second half on a 10-2 run to build a double-digit lead and gradually pulled away from a pesky Kimball High School from Texas squad 77-61 in the final game of the Tournament of Champions Showcase at Wheeler High School on Saturday. Kimball kept the game close throughout the first half and trailed only 30-28 at the break, so coach Larry Thompson said it was important to get off to a good start in the third quarter. The main big guy in the middle was 6-foot-9 forward Arrinten Page. The USC signee took full advantage, finishing the night with a team-high 21 points, including six dunks, along with 12 rebounds. Leading 41-34 a 3-pointer and a dunk by Jelani Hamilton, who finished with 12 points, pushed the Wildcats' lead to 46-34. Back-to-back dunks by Page late in the quarter gave Wheeler, the Number 1 team in Class AAAAAAA, a 50-40 advantage before five straight points by T'Johnn Brown, who led all scorers with 24 points, cut the lead to five to start the fourth quarter.  Isaiah Collier, who had 16 points, eight assists and five rebounds, finally found his groove in the final 8 minutes. He opened the quarter with a driving layup, got fouled, and made the free throw. He added four more points as the game came to a close, but he set up three of Page's four dunks down the stretch with some big-time assists. A Page dunk and a 3-pointer by Hamilton pushed the lead back into double-digits at 65-54. A dunk and a putback by Ricky McKenzie made the lead 13 at the 2:48 mark, and two more dunks by Page put Wheeler up 75-61.  Josh Hill scored nine points and McKenzie added eight.   #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews      -            -            -            -            -            The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.             Subscribe today, so you don't miss an episode! MDJOnline            Register Here for your essential digital news.            https://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/  https://cuofga.org/ https://www.esogrepair.com/ https://www.drakerealty.com/           Find additional episodes of the MDJ Podcast here.             This Podcast was produced and published for the Marietta Daily Journal and MDJ Online by BG Ad Group   For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com        See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Toronto Blue Jays make a splash... just not the splash we were expecting. They add longtime MLB manager and player Don Mattingly as bench coach, bringing experience to a young coaching staff. Mark, Bryson and Jacob discuss what the move means for the Blue Jays. Did anyone see this coming? How will this change the culture in the clubhouse?

Special guest Bernie Williams joins the show to discuss his Tune into Lung Health campaign, his memories of the Yankees last dynasty, and his experience in free agency. Plus, plenty of Aaron Judge talk from a Yankee legend who went through a similar situation after his monster 1998 season. Bernie also sings the praises of Don Mattingly after he was named the Blue Jays bench coach, and Keith says he would like to see the Yankees add Carlos Rodon, not Justin Verlander or Jacob deGrom.

The Yankees have a lot riding on Aaron Judge's sojourn into free agency. If they re-sign him, they have moves to make to surround him with a playoff-caliber team. If they don't re-sign, they still have moves to make in order to put a playoff-caliber team on the field in 2023. Stacey discusses the importance of Judge's decision and the timing of it. Don Mattingly will be in the opposing dugout in Toronto, which should be weird for Yankee fans of a certain age. And what other free agents could be on the Yankees' radar during the Winter Meetings, which start this weekend? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Yankees seem eager to up their offers to Aaron Judge just as some of the California teams are calling. Meanwhile a previous Yankee captain, Don Mattingly, is heading to Toronto as a bench coach.

EPISODE 86: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Three weeks ago - so quietly it has barely been noticed - the government declassified the 31-page "memorandum for the record" of the 9/11 Commission's 2004 interview with President George W. Bush (2:20) In it, Bush's words are beyond damning - they are confessional. They confirm his dereliction of duty, his culpability, his malfeasance, in the months before 9/11. Bush lied (5:38) about the August 6 President's Daily Briefing (6:58) Bush lied about the only threats being "overseas" (7:53) Bush lied about Al-Qaeda cells in the U.S. (8:23) Bush lied about aircraft as missiles (8:57) Bush lied about being warned about domestic threats (9:30) Bush lied about George Tenet never warning him (10:00) Bush lied about never being told how Al-Qaeda would attack (14:28) Sadly the 9/11 Commissioners never asked Bush about the allegation that he rushed through the August 6 2001 PDB because he wanted to go fishing and told the briefer "All right, you've covered your ass now." That's unfortunate because ALL Bush did in his interview with the Commissioners was try to cover HIS ass. For more than 20 years he's succeeded, but after the declassification of this memorandum, history will conclude two things: Osama Bin Laden attacked America - no one else. And George W. Bush made sure that America was unprepared - no one else. B-Block (19:29) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Lucky in California (20:21) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: McCarthy promises a committee to investigate the 1/6 Committee - IF he can get elected; and after promising no layoffs, CNN's Chris Licht lays off hundreds (22:26) IN SPORTS: How IS Pele? And Don Mattingly's new job and why whenever he sees me he says "That's Mel on the right!" (25:25) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The man who ignored the warning 'never drink while playing Monopoly' and the gullible website Semafor compete with Elon "I Lied About Apple" Musk for the honors. C-Block (29:31) 37 years ago this month I was new in L.A. and on my way to a great interview with baseball immortal Mickey Mantle. That's when I ran into the most elegantly dressed couple I have ever seen in my life. They were fans of my new local sportscast, and they introduced themselves as Joseph and Patricia Carlton. But who WERE they and why he look SO familiar? An amazing explanation in "Things I Promised Not To Tell."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's word of the day is 'knockout' as in the knockout round as in I got the fever as in the World Cup games have been great and exciting and worth it. The USA is advancing on to the Knockout Stages after a thrilling 1-0 win over Iran. What does this mean for MLS? Can MLS capitalize on this fever? (14:50) Qatar was eliminated. See ya. A spokesperson recently came out and gave big oopsies on the amount of workers that actually died building these stadiums. (24:00) Review: Killer Sally. (27:20) The New York Mets held a Zoom meeting with Carlo Rodon. The Mets are trying to figure out its pitching plans: deGrom? Verlander? Rodon? (35:00) SO You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about teams asking permission of other teams in order to interview a potential candidate for a job. Why do they need to ask permission? (40:35) Don Mattingly is set to be named the Bench Coach of the Toronto Blue Jays. What will he bring to that organization? (45:10) Lamar Jackson tweets.

EPISODE 72: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) OH GOD I so wanted Trump to declare his candidacy last night. He was THISCLOSE to doing it at his fascist rally in Ohio and thus snatching defeat for the Republicans from the jaws of victory, like he did in Georgia. But somebody got to him! (3:46) Whatever happens today, the media is doing everything it can to stick to the "Red Wave" narrative: Their polls all indicate Democratic leads in the Generic Congressional Ballot so what did Politico, Yahoo, and Reuters do? THEY DISMISSED THEIR OWN POLLS AS OUTLIERS. It all underscores the real media narrative: The media corporations are sucking up to the fascists (8:30) Last night, the Republicans gave away the next narrative: any election undecided by Wednesday morning has been fixed by the Democrats (10:48) Oh by the way, a key member of Russia's 2016 Conspiracy with Trump confessed to interfering in the election (11:45) And Elon Musk tweeted more Nazi names and six months after saying "for Twitter to deserve public trust it must be politically neutral" he told his 115,000,000 followers they should vote Republican. Oh and he's also talking about putting all of Twitter behind a paywall.  B-Block (16:40) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Ace has been reserved!

Baseball free agent news and the new Veterans' Hall of Fame Ballot is out: McGriff, Murphy, Mattingly, four roiders, one jackass - where's Keith Hernandez? (23:27) Brit "Trash OnThe Street" Hume and CNN's New Morning Show, called "Fascists? Please Let Us Live!" are no match for the all-time champion of Conventional Political Lack of Wisdom and Groupthink: Chris Cillizza with an all-time great column, telling History Teacher Jim Clyburn he doesn't understand history. C-Block (34:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The day in 1981 the disc jockey on the top New York radio station tried to kill me and then get me fired for daring to criticize "his" New York Giants on his show. The saga of Ted Brown and "he won't remember that either" (49:55) Plus, because it was handy, a complete sportscast from December 30, 1981, and 22-year old me doing an entire sportscast on WNEW Radio in New York, complete with the latest Wayne Gretzky news (and Ted Brown).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's word of the day is ‘hubris' as in I went to compete in my fourth major marathon in Berlin. It didn't work out too well. My body said no. (4:00) Let's discuss why we should never tweet. (6:45) Ime Udoka was suspended and we still don't know what for. What happened in Boston? From the way the Celtics handled it it must be serious. Mistakes were made by the Celtics, the media, social media, and myself. (20:10) Don Mattingly and the Marlins are parting ways after the season. We hired Don in 2015. (25:55) Review: Do Revenge.
