(5:06 ) Quick Hits

The Juan Soto saga will continue on through MLB's traditional quiet period for American Thanksgiving—no, he is not joining the Boston Red Sox, as some were fooled into thinking was happening this week—which means that we're obligated to check in on the race for his signature. Plus, we've got some big name pitching signings to talk about—Snell to the Dodgers, Kikuchi to the Angels, Fernando Rodney to... the Intercounty League?—as well as a minor signing for the Jays, plenty of talk about payroll, ambition, unicorn budgets, and a whole lot more!FOLLOW BLUE JAYS NATION!Website: https://bluejaysnation.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejaysnation/?hl=enX: https://x.com/thejaysnationTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebluejaysnationFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theBlueJaysNation/SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!Betway - https://betway.com/en-ca/ #BetTheResponsibleWay #BetwayCanadaReach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!Visit www.nationgear.ca for merch and more.

Vote on the pants and hair. That's how Award Season: Boyfriend Edition might play out. Our guys did well across the Silver Sluggers and Gloves both Gold and Platinum (Patti 13, Pottymouth 11, if anyone is keeping score -- we certainly wouldn't do that), but our pre-season predictions don't hold up. You can still vote for your baseball bfs for the All-MLB team. It was “Business As Usual” at the annual GM meeting, at least according to every single GM quoted anywhere.  We do appreciate a good set of talking points. Scott Boras made a predictable splash by speaking the truth about tanking and the need to incentivize all teams to win. Pottymouth sets up the entertainment to come with Big Papi and ARod facing off on the newly-released Hall of Fame ballot.It's Labor Day in November as Patti takes you through the economic issues on both the players' union and the league sides in collective bargaining. MLB sees a defined pot of money and is just talking about different ways to slice it up, whereas the players don't put an upper limit on their value -- especially the younger players. We have thoughts about the proposal tying pay to fWAR, getting to arbitration and FA sooner vs eliminating negotiations altogether and keeping players under team control for longer, and changes to the draft to address tanking on purpose. We hypothesize on what it means that a majority of the union's player subcommittee are pitchers, Boras clients, and Patti's bfs.Pottymouth's favorite CPBL team could pull off a trip to the league championship, and has to spend some time explaining to Patti how the playoff system is real. The Korean Series is underway. We celebrate that LMB loves Fernando Rodney like we do, naming him Reliever of the Year. Former Pottymouth BFs Franmil (en route) and Franchy add to the fun of watching LIDOM. Daddy Yankee, new co-owner of the LBPRC's Cangrejeros de Santurce, encourages more celebrities to shine a light on the league. The Hammers' William Contreras heads to Venezuela to join the Cardinales, in a league where managers are setting records for shortest careers. Your vocabulary word of the week is “jonrón.”We say “shenanigans,” “Mountcastle was robbed,” and “eat the rich.”Get vaxxed, fight the man, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Our Halloween episode has Patti briefly revisiting 1995, a very scary year, in which she first built her sportsgrudge against the Atlanta Team. But now she loves “those Hammers guys” including effectively wild Ian Anderson, the magical Eddie Rosario, and the only Austin left standing. Pottymouth reminds us of the treasure that is Dusty Baker, the first manager to take five teams to the postseason, and possibly the only to prune his family vineyards *and* live through the Monterey Pop Festival at age 18 (the family station wagon made it too). Altuve makes moves on postseason homerun records, but Manny being Manny seems safe for now. Get your taco on Thursday - Thanks, Ozzie.Odd for us to give credit to Bob Nightengale but he earns it for not using Atlanta's team name in his USA Today pieces. The Hammers miss an opportunity to truly honor Henry Aaron by not announcing a team name change during the ceremony. Fox makes no effort to Chop the Chop, featuring it in crowd shots. Smuck and Boltz never mention it, or the war chant, while openly discussing the cheating chants. Rob Manfred defends it based on local markets and perceived support by the *regional* Native American community -- for a National Pastime? There's now footage of a certain former president joining in on the Chop, albeit badly, so that's really all you need to know.Please PETA, use your powers for good instead of distracting us with your push to rename the bullpen the “arm barn.” Although that did give us a gem of a tune from Grant Brisbee. We are looking forward to seeing how much the Cleveland Baseball Team will have to pay the local roller derby team for use of the name “Guardians.” It's going to be fun to watch Bob Melvin manage the Padres, a team with money, and we've got our eye on Raquel Ferreira in the Mets GM conversation. The MLBPA's Player's Choice awards feature Ryan Mountcastle among other Patti BFs. The untimely passing of NESN broadcasting great, Jerry “Rem Dawg” Remy brings all the feels for Pottymouth, including some warm and hilarious memories.Do you have the MLBTV postseason package? You could be watching Dominican winter ball! LIDOM features Tio Albert, Fernando Rodney, and Willi Castro this year -- no excuses. Pottymouth's Cardenales de Lara are undefeated in the LVBP, and finals have started in the Puerto Rican women's league. Pottymouth celebrates it all by teaching us baseball vocabulary in Spanish.We say Halle Berry, Kiss the Sky, and vegan hot dogs.Get vaxxed, fight the man, and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Un nuevo anillo para Fernando Rodney y esta vez, conseguido en el Beisbol Mexicano con los Toros de Tijuana. A solo minutos de proclamarse campeón, "El Tira Flechas" dominicano conversó con nuestro reportero Luis Gilbert Lopez

Join us for a drink as we strike a pose in Mexico with Fernando Rodney; watch the debut of the new Tampa Bay Rays superhero Wander (Franco) Vision; go back to the(baseball)farm; and hear our sneakers squeaking in the gym Drinks: Lidl Italian Roast Homemade Coffee Cold Brew; and Wanderlust (Belgium - style blond ale) from Lake Anne Brew in Reston, VA Twitter: @HBP4040 #HBPDrink #HBPets Intro and Outro music: DeCarlo

We lead off Episode 20 with a look at hard-throwing right-hander Luis Garcia, considered my MLB.com as a top 10 pitching prospect in the Astros system. Recent acquisition Fernando Rodney (7:56), aiming for his 18th season in the Major Leagues, speaks time at the Astros alternate training site – Whataburger Field. And we check in with two-time Texas League All-Star and former league pitcher of the Year Chase De Jong (11:07), who like Rodney, was recently picked up by Houston from the Sugar Land Skeeters.

After a game where things fell apart in the fifth inning, the Dodgers beat the Astros 5-2 in the first of four match ups this year. Benches cleared after Joe Kelly threw at several Astros hitters. No punches were thrown, but still they are not supposed to do this during the COVID-19 shortened season. We will see if there are any suspensions resulting from this. After injuries continue to mount, the Astros are set to bring in veteran Fernando Rodney and are scouting Bud Norris.

Two years after the Padres & Rockies extra-inning Game #163 thriller, the Tigers and Twins went at it in a tie-breaking game to decide the American League Central title. A tight-battle became a 12-inning roller-coaster in the blink of an eye. When is a hit-by-pitch that could’ve won the game not a hit-by-pitch despite evidence to the contrary? Just what was one manager thinking leaving his closer in as long as he did? And how did a pinch-runner, who cost his team the win earlier in the game with an unthinkable gaffe, turn into the unlikely hero? Plus, we take a deep dive into players like Joe Nathan, Fernando Rodney, the meat of the Tigers lineup and how the Twins have become the model for small-market success.

The NEW GUY joins Outta The Park. Anthony Kay joins OTP to chat about the origins of his Twitter handle and his love of video games. He may or may not be playing video games WHILST chatting. Anthony tells the guys about his draft experience and his first interactions with Blue Jays fans on Twitter. The trio go through Canadian trivia and Anthony gets politely ripped. The First Pitch discusses John Tavares’ captaincy. Do NHL teams really need a captain and why is John Tavares the right choice? The OTP boys chat about the former Blue Jays that are now playing in the playoffs. Who do the guys want to see win a championship the most? Its a sentimental favourite. Ask Barry Davis chats about how the OTP crew decide who they cheer for when the Blue Jays are done for the season. Fernando Rodney draws the ire of Davis. GET OFF MY LAWN! Further discussion of the Tavares captaincy is tabled. Who was the greatest captain in Leafs history, according to Barry and Matt?

Nats can't hang on as they lose to the Rockies 8-7. Tim & Todd recap the decision to pitch Fernando Rodney in the 9th, Max Scherzer's return to the mound, Anthony Rendon's MVP chances, "Baby Shark" strikes again, and more.

Nats shutout the Rockies 2-0 and are now just 4 games back of 1st place Atlanta. Bob & Ryan discuss Fernando Rodney's big day, Patrick Corbin's victory, Max Scherzer's return to the mound Thursday, and more.

Ben Lindbergh and Sam Miller banter about the Home Run Derby and the All-Star Game, Justin Verlander’s and Rob Manfred’s comments about the juiced ball, the recent rapid turnover among elite hitters, and an instance of premature celebration featuring Fernando Rodney, then answer listener emails about Verlander’s on-pace-to-be-historic strand rate, whether we should have recognized […]

For the 26th time in 36 games, the Washington Nationals emerged victorious after Thursday's 5-2 win over Miami. The Nats improved to 45-41 overall and 10-3 against the Marlins this season.

We welcome back our co-host from vaca and discuss the team’s dramatic turnaround in June. We say goodbye to 29 year old relief pitcher Trevor Rosenthal and welcome Fernando Rodney, age 42, the oldest active player in all MLB. We explore the perils of Tommy John surgery, which either extends or ends careers. Also, the ethics of sub-minimum wages in the minor leagues. Comments and feedback are welcome at: thecheapseatsdc@gmail.com.

Amanda, Ryan, and Nick are back after a week of technical difficulties! They start by diving into the Good, Bad, and Ugly of the last week and react to the Fernando Rodney signing and the Trevor Rosenthal call-up.

This evening we'll talk about some FAAB bids in my leagues, Fernando Rodney signing a minor league deal with the Nationals, the Derek Dietrich phenomenon, Kype Freeland dispatched to the minors, the weekly Chris Sale line, the 32 days of James Holzhauer on Jeopardy, the Jay Bruce trade, and a lot more (hopefully).

A’s starter Frankie Montas stops by to talk about how much he’s grown as a pitcher - from not even liking baseball to throwing 100 mph, plus why he’s now conducting interviews in English instead of via an interpreter. Then, Susan and David Feldman break down the A’s hot streak and the Fernando Rodney decision. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:00-1:00: Kate makes another weird noise and does a callback to a different time when we were funny online. 2:00-11:00: Praises for the Mariners’ 10-run explosion on Cleveland, Erik Swanson’s dominance, and a comment on…climate change? Stick with us, folks. During this segment Kate says “protracted battles” and “peak Leake”.  11:45-26:00: Diving into the offense, which John thinks includes Tim Anderson. Seattle took advantage of bad pitching on Sunday but were vexed by a backup catcher and his eephuses. The take-having trio goes through the entire lineup and diagnoses their issues. The conversation starts with Omar Narváez, who has been the best catcher in baseball not named Realmuto, Grandal, or Contreras. Is Edwin Encarnación the Mariners’ best first baseman of the decade? Are the Mariners structuring their lineup to limit the amount of running Daniel Vogelbach has to do? 26:30-41:30: The discussion of Ryon Healy starts with John doing a big ol’ sigh. While Healy is still struggling, John and Kate have noticed some improvements, and Matthew turns baseball into a life lesson. Nobody is worried about Mitch Haniger. Domingo Santana and the center fielders, though, are a horse of a different color. Some words are exchanged about asses, torsos, things of that nature… 44:40-47:20: Who gets traded first? Fetch us a nice return, Jerry. As long as we don’t have to play Kendrys Morales every day like the A’s, I guess we’re alright. We make it nearly 47 minutes before talking about Fernando Rodney. 53:00-1:02:30: Twitter questions! Thank you as always to those who asked us things on Twitter dot com. This week’s involves karaoke, beaches, and cocktails. 1:03:00-1:18:10: A special guest from Staten Island joins John and Kate for a spirited discussion about the New York Yankees.
