Ellen Adair and Eric Gilde discuss the 2001 movie "Hardball." They introduce the film (1:34), with an overview of the story, the cast, and filmmakers, and review the 20-80 baseball scouting grades for rating the film, with a new metaphor (8:14). In Amount of Baseball (17:50), the scouts initially disagree, but slightly convince each other. Ellen has two potential player comps. Baseball Accuracy (25:26) compares this Little League play to other films, with just a couple of editorial / geographical issues. Ellen defends Frank Thomas's honor and digs in on Sammy Sosa's consecutive homers, and records by Ken Griffey Jr, Don Mattingly, and Kevin Mench. That is not Wrigley. Those are not NBA games. Luis Garcia's dance step is considered. Storytelling (39:23) is a real challenge, when the entire inveterate gambler storyline does not work. Plus, white savior problems, a very confusing moral, and a complete lack of necessary exposition. There are so many unanswered questions. How does he earn their trust? Why does G-Baby have to die? Eulogy issues, uniform issues. At long last, the Score Tool (1:24:13) is only a partial respite, with some small problems of its own. They consider some of the soundtrack songs, including "Ghetto," "Hardball," "Big Poppa," "Where the Party At," and R. Kelly. Acting (1:30:21) considers the ceiling and floor of a slightly mis-cast Keanu Reeves. Diane Lane was trying, John Hawkes had an impossible task, D.B. Sweeney deserves better. Young actors Michael B. Jordan, Bryan Hearne, Julian Griffith, and DeWayne Warren almost save the movie. Neither Delightfulness of Catcher (1:39:26) or Delightfulness of Announcer (1:40:27) offer much. In Lack of Misogyny (1:41:00), they discuss the insipidity of the lame romantic subplot. No spoilers on the following segments: Yes or No (1:45:06), Six Degrees of Baseball (1:48:56), Favorite Moment (1:50:43) Least Favorite Moment (1:53:00), Scene We Would Have Liked to See (1:54:54), Dreamiest Player (1:56:50), Favorite Performance (1:57:09), and Next Time (2:00:32).

BT & Sal ignite the airwaves with a fiery breakdown of Jets coach Aaron Glenn's bizarre decision to "double down" on not naming a starting quarterback for Week 8—is it power-flexing or pure desperation? The conversation pivots as BT has a massive change of heart, "flipping the script" on his dismissal of Don Mattingly's World Series aspirations with the Blue Jays. Finally, Nick Kostos joins the show to share his best NFL Week 8 bets, including taking the Carolina Panthers +7.5 against the Bills and his read on the Cowboys vs. Broncos matchup. The crew also touches on the ongoing NBA gambling scandal and Sauce Gardner's play.

The one to the north. The World Series. The two baseball writers discuss whether the Los Angeles Dodgers, who may not be ruining baseball, might just be ruining the National League. The Dodgers are playing for their ninth World Series championship -- a total that would tie them with the Boston Red Sox and Nomadic Athletics. It would also put them three titles shy of leapfrogging the Cardinals' historic trademark trait and overtaking them as the pre-eminent National League team when it comes to trophies. Author of "The Grandest Stage: A History of the World Series," Kepner offers perspective on the Dodgers' chances while also detailing what this World Series means to Don Mattingly and how the Blue Jays can overtake the favorites from Hollywood. There is a story about an autographed baseball, too. To quote Kepner: "Cue that jaunty music." Kepner joins the Best Podcast in Baseball from Toronto, where he's covering the World Series as a senior writer for The Athletic and baseball writer for the New York Times. In its 13th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes. Each episode is sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold.

Guests: Max Scherzer, John Schneider, Jose Bautista As we await Friday night's opener of the World Series, the first in Toronto in over three decades, we look back at the post-game party after the Blue Jays thrilling win in Game 7 of the American League championship series Monday night. Max Scherzer, never at a loss for energy, nearly blows the decibel meter on our system as he raves about the team he chose because, as he said in January, he wanted to win the World Series, and about his fellow elder statesmen, George Springer, Chris Bassitt and Kevin Gausman (each one at least five years his junior). John Schneider, in his third full season as Jays' manager but his 24th year in the organization, wells up as he talks about coaches Don Mattingly, Pete Walker and DeMarlo Hale, and wishes the Seattle Mariners a good winter vacation. And a raspy-voiced Jose Bautista joins us to talk about witnessing Springer's magical home run, as so many of us witnessed his a decade ago. All that plus the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca!

BT & Sal's Call of the Day heats up with legendary Yankees broadcaster Suzyn Waldman! Suzyn brings the fire, weighing in on the debate over Jasson Dominguez's position (is he a center fielder or a DH?) and the mounting issue of the Yankees' abundance of designated hitters. The conversation also briefly touches on the possibility of a Don Mattingly return and the ongoing animosity toward Brian Cashman. Suzyn's passion for the pinstripes is on full, fiery display!
BT and Sal break down the Yankees' ferocious comeback and the Blue Jays' meltdown in their ALDS series, ignited by Toronto's "awful defense" and mental mistakes. They dissect how the Blue Jays essentially "gift-wrapped" a critical victory to New York, shifting the series momentum despite the Yanks still trailing 2-1. The hosts dive into the "amazing" atmosphere at Yankee Stadium, the pressure on Toronto's pitching (including the anointing of 'U Savage'), the potential for the Yankees to win the series, and the intense, nonstop energy of a major New York sports weekend. The discussion also touches on the standard for Yankee legends like Aaron Judge vs. Don Mattingly in the post-dynasty era.

Many criticized Sean Payton for abandoning the run game early on in the win vs. the Titans, so Payton discussed the run-pass ratio, saying he has to be better in that department. Although the Broncos rushed for 151 yards, did Denver really run the ball effectively throughout the game? The Broncos defense was lights out, only allowing 133 total yards and 7 first downs, so why wasn't the historic defensive performance talked about more? Plus, is Bruce the Don Mattingly of Broncos media? Catch a Tuesday edition of Hot Takes with Eric Goodman and Bruce Haertl!

On Sports on a Sunday Morning, Tom Ackerman is joined by Chief Robert Tracy to discuss public safety around major St. Louis sporting events, from Cardinals games at Busch Stadium to Blues hockey, STL City SC at CITYPARK, and Battlehawks football at The Dome. Chief Tracy highlights strategies to reduce crime, the importance of keeping fans safe, and his experiences policing at iconic venues like Yankee Stadium and Madison Square Garden. He also shares thoughts on New York Yankees great Don Mattingly, today's Yankees lineup against the Cardinals, and how teamwork on and off the field drives success.
On the latest "Power Up!", BT and Sal unveiled their top five people they'd most want to golf with. The guys shared some unexpected choices, including family members, favorite athletes, and iconic comedians, with a few of their selections even overlapping. They delved into the reasons behind each pick, from Billy Joel's musical genius and Adam Sandler's comedic relief to the sheer competitiveness of athletes like Don Mattingly and Matt Ryan. The conversation highlighted a diverse mix of personalities, proving that the perfect golf partner isn't always the best player but the one who can make the day most memorable.
BT and Sal ignite a passionate debate about the Baseball Hall of Fame, tearing into what they see as flawed induction criteria. While reminiscing about the undeniable greatness of Ryne Sandberg and lamenting his illness, the conversation quickly turns to more controversial inductions like CC Sabathia, with BT strongly arguing against his Hall of Fame worthiness, particularly as a first-ballot choice. They compare "compiler" careers to shorter, dominant ones, sparking a fiery discussion on whether sustained excellence or peak performance should be more valued for a Cooperstown plaque, bringing up names like Don Mattingly, David Cone, Andy Pettitte, and even the "Fernando Mania" of Valenzuela. The segment underscores their frustration with a Hall of Fame they believe is becoming increasingly "saturated" and inconsistent in its inductions.
In this emotional and wide-ranging conversation, Mets legend and Hall of Fame manager Joe Torre sits down with Jay Horwitz to reflect on his decades in baseball—and the people who shaped it. Torre opens up about managing David Wright in the WBC, his thoughts on Wright's Hall of Fame case, and memories of Don Mattingly, Tom Seaver, and Gil Hodges. He also shares deeply personal stories about his childhood, revealing how his father's abuse inspired the founding of his Safe At Home Foundation, which has helped thousands of children break the cycle of domestic violence. From managing the Mets to building a dynasty with the Yankees, to humorous tales with Arthur Richmond and commercials with Willie Randolph and Bobby Valentine, this is Joe Torre like you've never heard him.
Brandon Tierney delivers a passionate segment covering two contrasting events: the well-deserved retirement of David Wright's number by the Mets, a moment Tierney deeply appreciates, and his own fiery ejection from his son's 10U baseball game. Tierney praises Wright as the epitome of a New York athlete, a true "baseball player" who embodied passion and respect for the game, drawing parallels to legends like Derek Jeter and even Don Mattingly in character despite injury setbacks. He then vividly recounts his first-ever ejection from a youth game, framing it as a "technicality" and passionately defending his right to advocate for his team, all while lamenting the "misinformation" surrounding the incident. This dual narrative highlights the intense emotions Tierney brings to both professional sports analysis and personal coaching.

Welcome back to TableSetters, your go-to spot for all things baseball. Steve and Devin are here to break down the latest happenings in the MLB world, and there's a lot to talk about! First up, Aaron Boone's sticking around for the 2025 season after the Yankees picked up his option. Boone's been at the helm for seven seasons now, leading the team to the postseason six times. GM Brian Cashman's all in on him, and Boone's ready to get back to work. We'll hear from him in a press conference on Monday to get his take on the upcoming year. Switching gears to the offseason, the Yankees are about to sit down with Juan Soto and his agent, Scott Boras, for an in-person meeting. The Yankees and Mets are both hot on Soto's trail, but there are many other teams in the mix too. Soto's one of the biggest free-agent names out there, and his decision will make waves. Nolan Arenado is also popping up in trade rumors. The Cardinals might move the 10-time Gold Glover if he agrees to waive his no-trade clause, and the Yankees could be a landing spot. Sure, Arenado didn't have his best offensive season in 2024, but he's still an elite defender, and the Yankees could use that. Out in Boston, the Red Sox are looking at some big pitching moves. Instead of going after the top free agents, they're eyeing a trade for a big-name starter, like Garrett Crochet from the White Sox. With a strong farm system, they've got the pieces to make it happen. Meanwhile, the Reds are in a tough spot financially. With Bally Sports' bankruptcy looming, they're losing a chunk of revenue and might be forced to cut back on player spending for 2025. It could make for a tricky offseason in Cincinnati. And in Philly, there's a big shakeup in the front office. Preston Mattingly, the son of former MLB star Don Mattingly, has been promoted to GM. He'll be working alongside Sam Fuld, who'll eventually transition to president of business operations in 2026 after finishing his MBA. That's all for now!

Brian Hunt, Executive Producer of Bronx Zoo '90: Crime, Chaos and Baseball, the astonishing true story of the 1990 New York Yankees, chronicling the team at a crossroads in their storied history. The season went on record as one of the worst and was made even more infamous by the drama that ensued off the field. Based on a series of articles from New York Post columnist Joel Sherman, the docuseries covers team owner George Steinbrenner's removal from baseball for trying to buy information on Dave Winfield from a notorious gambler. Adding to the chaos, beloved team captain Don Mattingly was caught in a contentious contract dispute, a top free agent signee went missing, rookie Deion Sanders wavered between two sports and a controversial outfielder pursued a relationship with a local high school girl. Despite it all, the 1990 Yankees laid the groundwork for one of the greatest dynasties in sports history.
