Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker open Friday's program with a preview of this afternoon's Blue Jays vs. Rays spring training game. They look back on Thursday's 8-7 loss to the Marlins and discuss Andrés Giménez' first home run of the spring, before projecting how the Jays rotation and 26-man roster might come together ahead of Opening Day. The boys also take a moment to chat about Alek Manoah's comments about Toronto's World Series run, before Jayson Stark (15:08) of The Athletic joins to discuss his recent piece on the Blue Jays outlook in 2026. He debates if the team is better equipped this season, how to manage the rotation, and Jeff Hoffman's opportunity to bounce back. Later, MLB Network host Robert Flores (30:50) chats about the Jays' ability to rebound this year, the players at camp he's keeping his eye on, the Max Scherzer signing, the upcoming World Baseball Classic and Tarik Skubal's limited availability. 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.
The Cleveland Indians' Big Four rotation served them well in 1954, delivering 111 wins and a ticket to the World Series. Yet their power is fading, and many worry that the AL pennant in the previous year was a high-water mark. They would rack up eight winning seasons in the decade, but only a sole defeat in the Fall Classic to show for it.In tonight's game the welcome the young and eager Chicago White Sox. Marty Marion's “Go-go” philosophy of speed and base-running would be key. 1955 showed where the gaps were, and some rapid trades (bringing in Larry Doby and clearing the shortstop position for future Hall of Famer Luis Aparicio) would take them all the way in 1959.All of that lies in the future. Tonight is a distillation of the Indians' power and the Go-Go White Sox. reflected in the pitching match-up. Chicago's Billy Pierce is in the middle of a historic season where he will finish with an ERA of 1.97.On the other side of the scorecard is Early Wynn, a future 300-game winner whose scowling, intimidating presence on the mound defined the era's aggressive pitching ethos . Wynn would later win the Cy Young after joining the White Sox, but for now, he stands in the way of the White Sox' first legitimate pennant run in 35 years .Ewan Spence and the Classic Baseball Radio team bring you this recreated radio broadcast from July 1, 1955.

This week on Halos in the Infield, Todd and Fernando are joined by Brooke and Joel from the Brooke Knows Ball Instagram page for a deep dive into baseball culture, analytics, and the game's global heartbeat. Brooke and Joel break down their unforgettable trip to the Dominican Republic, sharing behind-the-scenes stories from their baseball mini-series — from the passion of local academies to how the island continues to shape Major League talent. What's different about baseball in the DR? What does player development look like there compared to the States? And why does it still feel so pure? They also recap their 2025 World Series experience in Toronto, the atmosphere, the fan energy north of the border, and what made that Fall Classic unique. Then the conversation turns analytical. Todd, Fernando, Brooke, and Joel tackle one of the hottest debates in today's game: Are some analytics losing their value? Which stats are outdated or misused in modern roster building? Has launch angle thinking gone too far? Are we overvaluing certain defensive metrics? Which analytics actually help teams win today? It's a smart, passionate baseball conversation that blends culture, travel, scouting, front office philosophy, and real talk about where the game is headed. #HalosInTheInfield #BrookeKnowsBall #DominicanRepublicBaseball #WorldSeries2025 #TorontoBaseball #MLBAnalytics #BaseballTravel #MLBPodcast #Sabermetrics #BaseballCulture #AngelsBaseball #MLBDiscussion #ToddAndFernando #BaseballTalk Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

More Post-Dispatch podcasts. Please consider subscribing. Welcome to the great plains. When next Major League Baseball hosts a World Series it will have been a decade since any of thw 10 teams from the Midwest divisions have reached the Fall Classic. They've rarely had a club get as far as the championship series, and the National League Central hasn't won a game in the best-of-seven NLCS since 2018. Oh, and coming out of the pandemic the small-market teams that dot the NL and American League Central divisions have been rocked by revenue turbulence. All while the games star free agents gather at the coasts. With that as the background, Cincinnati Enquirer baseball writer Gordon Wittenmyer suggested to Post-Dispatch baseball writer and BPIB host Derrick Goold that they poll as many executives as possible at the General Manager Meetings to ask: Which team in the NL Central is most likely to be the next team to win a World Series? The answers were revealing -- not just for the task, but also for what executives view as the most likely traits a team needs to win. The "most resources," came up often as the big-city Cubs received the most votes. Here is the Post-Dispatch story that came from the poll. And here is the podcast that expands upon the poll to discuss the factors that got the divisions here, how one or more can escape the bind, and whether Major League Baseball is just going to keep soaring above fly-over country until the economic structure of the game changes. The two baseball writers dissect how the Pirates could augment a talented team with a different payroll formula, how the Brewers may lose their edge, how the Cardinals made regain theirs, how the Reds could make a push to the top, how the Cubs could financially squash the competition, and why they don't. In the end, one of the writers makes his prediction for the NL Central team that will next win a World Series title. It's a team that just doesn't exist yet. 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.

Gio's feeling bad for Blue Jays fans after the Dodgers take the World Series — with Yamamoto winning MVP, the guy Steve Cohen desperately tried to bring to Queens. We're talking an incredible Fall Classic, plus your calls on Brian Daboll's future. Who's the needle-mover that could save the Giants?
The Cincinnati Reds won the 1975 World Series in a classic 7-game matchup against the Boston Red Sox. The recent Dodgers victory over the Blue Jays is being argued as maybe the best Fall Classic ever, but that '75 Series saw the Reds come from behind to win all 4 of their games, including 4-3 in Game 7 at Fenway Park. The Reds had a team littered with Hall of Famers. Tony Perez, Joe Morgan and Johnny Bench as well as *Pete Rose were part of what was known as the Big Red Machine. They could do it all… Power, speed, average,, defense… the one thing they couldn't do was win the big one. They lost to Baltimore in 5 games in 1970… to the A's in 7 in 1972… to the Mets in the NLCS in '73 and didn't even make the playoffs in '74. But a bloop single by Joe Morgan in the 9th inning brought in the winning run for the Reds who won their first World Series title since 1940! A year later, they did it again, sweeping the Yankees to make it two straight championships for the Reds. Cincinnati was the toast of baseball and the Big Red Machine was now legendary. 50 years later we're still talking about that team and how good they were and nobody knows them better than Dr. Daryl Smith who currently serves as a Management professor at Cedarville University in Ohio. Previously, Daryl served as an Air Force office and pilot over a 24 year career. Much of his academic studies and research have centered on leadership and its role in organizational success. He has been trained to find the root causes of organizations' successes and failures. Daryl has a long association with the Cincinnati Reds. As a boy, he attended several games at Crosley Field, the first game at Riverfront Stadium and the 1970, 1972, and 1975 World Series. Twenty years ago, Daryl met and became acquainted with Bob Howsam, the brains behind the Big Red Machine and the central figure in his book, “Making the Big Red Machine: Bob Howsam and the Cincinnati Reds of the 1970's." Daryl talks to us about the small trade that became a huge deal when Howsam acquired the diminutive Morgan from Houston. He tells us how Cincy thought he was crazy to give up so much for the future 2-time MVP. He recalls how Manager Sparky Anderson moved Rose to 3rd base and how that changed the course of history for the team. And he tells how free agency and one trade prior to the 1977 season put an end to the greatest team in Reds history. November 3rd, 1975 saw Will McEnaney leaping into the arms of Johnny Bench after winning the greatest World Series ever played and Professor Smith helps us replay that Series one last time on the Past Our Prime podcast.

The 2025 edition of the World Series has taken some serious twists and turns, including the historic 18-inning Game 3.

Addison Barger's clutch grand slam, Yoshinobu Yamamoto's Complete Game, keys to success in game 3 and are any of the guys changing their series predictions? All that and more in today's episode!
The 2025 edition of the World Series got off to a raucous start after the Toronto Blue Jays took Game 1 with an offensive blitz, leaving everyone wondering if this could be the year the Commissioner's Trophy lands in Canada. However, Yoshinobu Yamamoto put those early thoughts to rest with his Game 2 gem that helped the Los Angeles Dodgers even the series at a game apiece. With the Fall Classic now shifting to Dodger Stadium, the question is whether both teams will be returning to Toronto before a champion is crowned.On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman recap all the action from the first two games, including the Blue Jays' impressive offensive onslaught in Game 1 — highlighted by the first-ever pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history. They also discuss the complete-game shutout from Yamamoto in Game 2 that has helped establish him as one of the best pitchers in all of baseball.Later in the episode, Jake and Jordan preview what to expect from Game 3 in L.A., with Tyler Glasnow taking on Max Scherzer to see who will go up 2–1 in the series. The guys also discuss the San Francisco Giants hiring Tony Vitello as their new manager and why it's such an out-of-the-box move.1:44 – The Opener: Yamamoto's Game 2 gem8:49 – Recapping Dodgers' victory20:54 – Game 1 recap32:28 – Addison Barger sleeps on the couch38:14 – World Series Game 3 preview43:31 – Giants hire Tony Vitello Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

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.
The World Series gets underway Friday night from Toronto as the Blue Jays take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Fall Classic. LA is looking to become the first back-to-back champs in 25 years. Toronto hasn't won a championship since 1993. Guest: Jack Harris, Los Angeles Times President Trump says he will not be sending a surge of federal agents to San Francisco. This comes after a call with San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie. While that's eased some concerns in San Francisco, across the Bay in Alameda County, tensions remain high. Reporter: Farida Jhabvala Romero, KQED Some of the same families that were forcibly separated at the U.S.-Mexico border during President Trump's first administration are being split up again. That's according to the ACLU, which is in a pitched battle with the government over what it says are violations of a federal settlement agreement.

Norm Hitzges grabs a bat, a calculator, and a fainting couch to process Shohei Ohtani's “are-you-kidding-me” clincher: six scoreless with 10 punchouts and three moonshots to broom Milwaukee and send the Dodgers to the Fall Classic. Greatest single game by any pro ballplayer… ever? Norm makes the case—with tape-measure receipts, history comps, and a reminder why the Dodgers cut a $700M check without blinking. Then it's why L.A.'s rotation is a cheat code (Snell? Glasnow? Yamamoto? …Ohtani?), how they steamrolled the league's big winners, and why Toronto should keep the champagne on ice. Come for the stats; stay for the gentle sarcasm and the sound of baseball writers rewriting their “best ever” lists in real time.Chapters00:00 - “Today I'm Just Wondering: Can One Game Break Baseball?”00:22 - Sponsor Pit Stop: Fluent Financial keeps the lights on01:27 - The Case Opens: Was this the greatest game by a single player?02:11 - Shohei the Pitcher: 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 10 K—no notes03:01 - Shohei the Destroyer: Homer… homer… homer03:59 - Tape-Measure Theater: 446', 469', 427'—ballistics report04:54 - The Résumé Flex: Back-to-back MVP, league leads, and laughter at “overpaid”06:10 - Why L.A.'s Terrifying: Name an ace—any ace06:57 - Bracket Body Count: Brewers, Phils, Yankees—good night and good luck07:42 - Why the Dodgers Are Heavy Favorites (and why Vegas isn't nuts)08:24 - Bob's Steak & Chop House Intermission (because ribeyes beat analytics)09:38 - Balm Break & Closing Credits: Norm signs off, Ohtani still ridiculous

Jerry kicked things off with the roar of the Lions steamrolling the Bucs — and it wasn't pretty. Mike Evans went down hard, suffering a broken collarbone and a concussion.

Max Scherzer? Fired up and living the dream as he heads to the Fall Classic.
When Shohei Ohtani hit the 50-50 milestone last season in Miami, many thought it was one of the greatest single performances in baseball history. Little did they know, Ohtani would go on to deliver an even more impressive feat in a series-clinching game that sent his Los Angeles Dodgers back to the World Series, just one year after winning the Commissioner's Trophy.On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down what might be the most impressive game ever played in baseball, in which Ohtani pitched six shutout innings, struck out ten, allowed zero earned runs, and hit three home runs en route to the Dodgers clinching the National League pennant. Then the guys talk about the Milwaukee Brewers' unfortunate showing against a juggernaut like the Dodgers.Also in this episode, Jake and Jordan preview the upcoming Game 7 that will decide the ALCS between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners. Will the Jays ride the hot bat of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to their first World Series since 1993 or can the M's win their first-ever American League title and finally reach the Fall Classic? The show wraps up with a discussion about College World Series champion manager Tony Vitello possibly joining the San Francisco Giants next season.1:55 – The Opener: Ohtani's amazing game14:45 – Dodgers win the NL pennant22:51 – Where we stand in the ALCS38:39 – Game 7 preview43:52 – We Need to Talk About: Tony V to MLB?
