Podcasts about Eastern League

This week on the There R Giants podcast, I have to empty out the file drawers with some player interviews I conducted back in April before a few travels disrupted my podcast schedule a bit. I've been stacking these player interviews up a bit the last few weeks, so I wanted to get these out before they became too musty! Just before the season began I spoke with Sabin Ceballos about his strong winter and spring. I also talked with Vaun Brown, who looked back on a difficult 2024 and how he navigated his way through that season, as well as his hopes for the new one. And finally, I talked with reliever Trent Harris, who talked about the joys of being a minor leaguer called up to big league camp in the spring, and what he's been doing to prepare for the tough Eastern League competition.You can get all of my Giants' prospect-related work by becoming a There R Giants' subscriber.

August 31, 1990, the Houston Astros make one of their best trades ever, acquiring minor league infielder Jeff Bagwell from the Boston Red Sox for pitcher Larry Andersen. Refusing to part with Triple-A third baseman Scott Cooper to get Larry Andersen from the Astros for the stretch run, Red Sox general manager Lou Gorman trades the Eastern League's MVP Jeff Bagwell for the right-handed relief pitcher.The University of Hartford standout will go on to win the National League Rookie of the Year Award in 1991 and we will win the National League's MVP Award in 1994 and become one of the greatest players in Astros franchise history.

It's a two pod week, as I finish uploading my player interviews from Richmond with two more highly entertaining and informative players, 1b Logan Wyatt and RHP Wil Jensen. Both have gone through injuries and pandemic in their long journeys to this point, and both were just finishing up the best seasons of their pro careers when I caught up with them. Hopefully past the health issues that have tripped them up in the past, Wyatt was able to show off his power potential this year while Jensen had one of the lowest ERAs in the competitive Eastern League.In case you haven't noticed it yet, Substack now has a transcription feature available for podcasts, so if you prefer your interviews in AI-generated written form, click on the “Transcription” tab above.Logan Wyatt (2:56)Wil Jensen (14:30)Intro/Outro: “Sad Sad About Us” by The Jam Get full access to There R Giants at rogermunter.substack.com/subscribe

EPISODE 253: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump may be indicted for the January 6th attemped coup – today. Or, not! But clearly as of 1 PM eastern at the Prettyman Courthouse in DC, the window TO indict is open for the first time on this 10th day since Trump received Jack Smith's 2nd Target Letter. The window from Target Letter to indictment last time might have been as short as 10 days, maybe as long as 20. Plus what could be at the center of a THIRD set of indictments: more testimony from Trump staffers that he knew damn well that the election wasn't stolen and that he didn't win it. And that in February 2020 he even praised the improved election security and audit capability for paper ballots, nine months before the 2020 Presidential Election. And Trump online: reposts Marjorie Pornography Greene's “little bitch” quote about the Special Prosecutor, and a moronic poll over Republicans' “Dream President” Plus: obeying Supreme Court rulings is now optional. Who knew? That's the verdict from the Republican Governor of Alabama Kay Ivey, and the Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy. So I guess Roe-V-Wade wasn't overturned and that key 2nd Amendment case – Heller – doesn't say anything about the right to own a gun after all.

C-Block (28:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: In an all-new edition, I have two stories about baseball's newest Hall of Famers. Fred McGriff was drafted by the Yankees but traded away as a minor leaguer for garbage because an active Yankees player insisted to George Steinbrenner it was a great deal, and Scott Rolen insisted to me that the highlight of his 1996 season was the elaborate practical joke he, his minor league teammates, the manager, and the umpire concocted and played on me during a game - and he stuck to this even after I reminded him that 1996 was the year he began his Hall of Fame major league career,.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Broadcaster Gareth Kwok's Fisher Cats are still waiting on their first walkoff of 2023, but the broadcasters from the other affiliates talk about the most exciting walkoffs of the season so far. The Bisons' Pat Malacaro tells us his team is finally getting consistency from the starting nine and the starters, Ernie Clement and Spencer Horwitz's dual five-hit day, Orelvis Martinez's triple-A debut, and Zach Thompson's season reset while he was on waivers. Double-A New Hampshire has not really be consistent, but Gareth gives us positive updates about Leo Jimenez's on-base streak, Rainer Nuñez sliding into the middle of the lineup, and Adam Kloffenstein's success in his second season in the Eastern League. In the last segment, host Tyler Zickel of the Vancouver Canadians banters with Chris Valentine of the Dunedin Blue Jays about the D-Jays' rough patch in July and the C's remaining red-hot.

Marco gives some insight into Joey Cantillo's efforts to attack the zone and be more consistent following his 13 strikeout performance a few weeks ago, as well as looking into what has Aaron Bracho off to a potentially resurgent start to the season. Also discussed is the tandem starter group of Doug Nikhazy and Jack Leftwich that is loaded with potential, how Bryan Lavastida can respond from his removal from the 40 man roster, what has helped Cade Smith become the top closer in the Eastern League, and getting Angel Martinez turned around. Justin also discusses the return of George Valera, the differences between Brayan Rocchio and Amed Rosario as prospects, what's holding Bo Naylor back, Parker Messick winning Pitcher of the Week in the Carolina League, and the return of Ethan Hankins, including two interviews with Hankins before his start back and following his second start last week.

Zach, Nick, and Bob break down the 2022 Bowie Baysox' season that fell just short of the Eastern League playoffs.

7/28/22 Hour 3 0:00 - VCU basketball head coach Mike Rhoades joins AWadd to discuss the Rams' upcoming season  17:00 - Epstein and producer Adam Cheek discuss whether they can surf and a power outage AWadd had while at TopGolf. 24:15 - Richmond Flying Squirrels CEO Todd "Parney" Parnell is in studio with Epstein and Cheek, and discusses his time at the helm of Richmond's AA minor-league team, what his daily schedule is like and the team's first-half Eastern League championship. 33:00 - Parney's back for a second segment to talk about how much Richmond means to him and some of the most talented players on the roster.

Both VCU basketball head coach Mike Rhoades and Richmond Flying Squirrels CEO Todd "Parney" Parnell joined AWadd on Thursday. Rhoades discussed the Rams' upcoming season and roster turnover, while Parney recapped the Squirrels' first-half Eastern League championship, talked about how much Richmond has meant to him and more. Adam also hosts the daily Richmond Commander segment, in which he takes calls and discusses Washington's training camp as it gets underway.

We join a tie game in the eighth and talk about how the game has gone for the Guardians so far. We talk about the Freddie Freeman situation which has been the talk of baseball with new information all the time. One can't help but draw a comparison between Jose Ramirez and Freddie Freeman and how both were a pair of players who wanted to stay. Jose made sure it got done and Freddie was not given all the information by his agent. In the end, one player is very happy and the other is likely also happy but not as happy as they could have been.  We talk about the decline of Oscar Gonzalez of late and how his numbers show him to be in a very small group of players in terms of walks, strikeouts, and groundball rate. His most likely comparison is Randal Grichuk, but like everyone else Gonzalez matches up with it has been an up and down career. We also talk about Amed Rosario and how this season has been much like last season for him and one can expect many more ups and downs on the way to a league-average season for the Guardians shortstop. I am still bullish on a trade because he will likely make eight million or more in his final year of arbitration. The Guardians own all the shortstop prospects in baseball, so getting league average at that cost doesn't match up.  We talk about the top ten players as I see it right now in the minors. Will Brennan has made a name for himself this year and looks like another Steven Kwan type of outfielder for the Guardians. Brennan is a fascinating prospect as he was announced as a two-way player and might have gotten a chance to pitch if not for the lost 2020 season. Instead, he focused on hitting has not looked back, and has been one of the best hitters in the Guardians minors this year. We talk about George Valera and make a case for his promotion. We also give Micah Pries a shoutout as the Eastern League player of the week and talk about the promotions of Xzavion Curry and Logan Allen. Oh and we experience an unbelievable walk off win for the Cleveland Guardians.

We join a tie game in the eighth and talk about how the game has gone for the Guardians so far. We talk about the Freddie Freeman situation which has been the talk of baseball with new information all the time. One can't help but draw a comparison between Jose Ramirez and Freddie Freeman and how both were a pair of players who wanted to stay. Jose made sure it got done and Freddie was not given all the information by his agent. In the end, one player is very happy and the other is likely also happy but not as happy as they could have been.  We talk about the decline of Oscar Gonzalez of late and how his numbers show him to be in a very small group of players in terms of walks, strikeouts, and groundball rate. His most likely comparison is Randal Grichuk, but like everyone else Gonzalez matches up with it has been an up and down career. We also talk about Amed Rosario and how this season has been much like last season for him and one can expect many more ups and downs on the way to a league-average season for the Guardians shortstop. I am still bullish on a trade because he will likely make eight million or more in his final year of arbitration.

The Eastern Professional Basketball League (1946-78) was fast and physical, often played in tiny, smoke-filled gyms across the northeast and featuring the best players who just couldn't make the NBA—many because of unofficial quotas on Black players, some because of scandals, and others because they weren't quite good enough in the years when the NBA had less than 100 players. In "Boxed out of the NBA: Remembering the Eastern Professional Basketball League," Syl Sobel and Jay Rosenstein tell the fascinating story of a league that was a pro basketball institution for over 30 years, showcasing top players from around the country. During the early years of professional basketball, the Eastern League was the next-best professional league in the world after the NBA. It was home to big-name players such as Sherman White, Jack Molinas, and Bill Spivey, who were implicated in college gambling scandals in the 1950s and were barred from the NBA, and top Black players such as Hal “King” Lear, Julius McCoy, and Wally Choice, who could not make the NBA into the early 1960s due to unwritten team quotas on African-American players. Featuring interviews with some 40 former Eastern League coaches, referees, fans, and players—including Syracuse University coach Jim Boeheim, former Temple University coach John Chaney, former Detroit Pistons player and coach Ray Scott, former NBA coach and ESPN analyst Hubie Brown, and former NBA player and coach Bob Weiss—this book provides an intimate, first-hand account of small-town professional basketball at its best. Syl Sobel is the author of five children's books on U.S. history and government. He is an award-winning journalist, attorney, contributor to the op ed page of various newspapers, and was for many years the director of publications for a federal government agency. Jay Rosenstein was a reporter for the newspaper American Banker and a financial writer for a federal government agency for many years. He now writes books for adults and children. The authors grew up together in Scranton, PA, home to one of the Eastern League's anchor franchises, the Scranton Miners and Apollos. Rosenstein was a statistician for the team.

Emma Tiedemann, the Voice of the Portland Sea Dogs (Class AA; Eastern League), joins Jesse Goldberg-Strassler and Kevin Reichard to preview the 2022 MiLB season, discuss rule experiments and discuss Texas Leaguers and marlins.Today marks the beginning of the 2022 Minor League Baseball season, as the industry takes another major step toward normalcy. While there are COVID-19 protocols in place still in place throughout the industry, ballparks will be operating at full capacity. Topics discussed in this podcast:·      Those outside the baseball world may take for granted the working conditions in 2021, when broadcasters began the season working remotely off a video feed due to COVID-19 concerns, eventually making their way back to broadcast booths and road trips. Emma and Jesse discuss MiLB play in April, dealing with snow, nor'easters and frozen tarps.·      A continuing issue in Minor League ball: rule experiments mandated by Major League Baseball. Some of the rule experiments are good (larger bases and pitch clocks), some up for debate (a ban on shifts). Jesse tells of players moving from the Single-A Cal League—where the clock was used—to the High-A Midwest League—where the clock was not mandated—and playing at the same pace, leading to quicker games. No one likes the idea of banning the infield shift, and the three agree that potentially mandating positioning for outfielders is a very bad idea.·      Original league names are back, causing great rejoicing in the chat. MiLB history Is restored!·      Other innovations discussed: robo-mowers, cashless ballparks, additional rule experiments at the MLB Partner Leagues, the evolution of ballpark tech (including facial recognition and videoboards everywhere), in-seat ordering for food/drink and concessions, ballpark upgrades mandated by MLB (including upgraded clubhouses and dedicated changing spaces for female coaches and umpires), better ballpark lighting (including underrated up-lighting), and wireless communications on the defensive side of the game.·      Today's baseball lingo from Emma: Texas Leaguer, a looping fly ball that lands between infielders and outfielders for a hit. That leads to a discussion of a 1959 promotional book from Phillies Blunts covering baseball terms, including variations of Texas Leaguer like seagulls (leading to Dave Winfield references), dying swans, bleeders and banjo hits.·      Today's baseball lingo by Jesse: marlin. In scouting circles, a marlin is a story told when the inevitable gabfest begins in the scouts seating at the ballpark. Emma's marlin: When calling a game in Alaska, a moose strolled by, past the outfield fence—something you'd only see in Alaska.Emma Tiedemann has been a broadcaster since she was 15, launching her career as the Voice of the Mat-Su Miners in the summer-collegiate Alaska Baseball League and making stops at broadcast booths for the Medford Rogues, St. Paul Saints and Lexington Legends before debuting in 2021 with the Sea Dogs. Jesse Goldberg-Strassler is Voice of the Lansing Lugnuts and author of The Baseball Thesaurus and The Football Thesaurus, both from August Publications. Kevin Reichard is editor of Ballpark Digest and founder/publisher at August Publications.
