Pete Alonso returned to his old digs on Monday night in Queens, greeted by New York Mets fans giving a rousing ovation to show their appreciation for his time with the team. On Tuesday night, though, he paid it back to the fans by hitting his 300th career home run in the top of the ninth to tie the game. And the fans continued to cheer.On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the warm welcome home that the Polar Bear received at Citi Field for his first visit since joining the Baltimore Orioles. They get into how Alonso nailed the moment, despite Mets players not being too thrilled with how fans responded to his heroics, as well as how David Stearns has failed the club so far in his tenure, which has given fans of the Amazin's a sour taste in their mouths.Later in the show, Jake and Jordan talk about the two series they attended this week, including the Los Angeles Dodgers at Cincinnati Reds, where Freddie Freeman is reinventing himself and finding success. They also talk about the Cleveland Guardians taking two of three games from the Chicago White Sox and further improving their chances of possibly leapfrogging into first place in the AL Central. The guys close the show out by looking at Junior Caminero's MVP odds, Elly De La Cruz's monster home run and the Milwaukee Brewers winning the NL Central. 1:53 - The Opener: Alonso Hits 30021:18 - Mets Fans' Fury Toward Stearns29:58 - Field Report: Dodgers in Cincinnati44:52 - Guardians Eye Division After White Sox Series48:48 - Around the League: Caminero for MVP?51:38 - Luzardo to the IL52:55 - Brewers Clinch the NL Central Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

A day after the Los Angeles Dodgers scored a bunch of runs but were let down by lousy pitching, LA ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto took the mound to try to help the Boys in Blue get right. Things looked promising early after a first-inning three-run homer by Freddie Freeman and five hitless innings from Yamamoto. But the LA offense kept not capitalizing on chances to extend the lead, Yama got punished on a few bad pitches, and the Dodgers bullpen finished the implosion as Los Angeles lost 8-6 in 10 innings. Shohei Ohtani looks hurt. Teoscar Hernandez and Mookie Betts had good games, but they weren't enough. Will things turn around? Only time will tell. Jeff Snider and Kevin Skinner are here to talk about it all, whether they want to or not. #Dodgers Tube in all season long!

Send us Fan MailWe Love Our Team with Governor Andy BeshearJack Greiner and Randy Freking welcome Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, a lifelong Reds fan, for a fast-moving conversation that blends baseball memories, Reds history, and a few political leadership takeaways. Beshear shares why the Reds have been part of his life since childhood, names his all-time favorites, and weighs in on everything from the pitch clock to favorite announcers.In this episode, the governor also talks about the players and moments that shaped his fandom, including Barry Larkin, Ken Griffey Jr., the 1990 World Series, and the impact of Louisville and Lexington talent in MLB. The result is a playful but thoughtful Reds-centric conversation with a true fan who knows the team and the game.Key topicsBeshear explains that baseball was the sport he loved most growing up and says he played with “good fundamentals,” mostly at third base, first base, and eventually pitcher.He recalls going to Reds games with his dad, including zoo visits in Cincinnati and doubleheaders fueled by chili cheese coneys.When asked about managers, he points to Lou Piniella and Davy Johnson as winners who built strong culture and got the most from their players.For the Reds decision he would change, he chooses the Ken Griffey Jr. signing, arguing that the contract eventually became too costly and hurt roster flexibility.His Reds Mount Rushmore is Tony Pérez, Johnny Bench, Eric Davis, and Barry Larkin, with Larkin singled out as his favorite player of all time.For dinner party guests, he picks TJ Friedl, Jose Canseco, and Freddie Freeman, saying Friedl can help him get the scoop on John Calipari and Freeman's practice habits are worth studying.His go-to ballpark food is the hot pretzel, not multiple chili cheese coneys.His most memorable Reds memory is Game 2 of the 1990 World Series, when Joe Oliver delivered the winning hit in extra innings at Riverfront Stadium.If he needs a clutch Reds hitter, he wants a pre-injury Ken Griffey Jr. at the plate, with Tony Pérez or Barry Larkin as backups.On the mound in the ninth, he calls for Rob Dibble, praising the intimidation and velocity of one of the Nasty Boys.His favorite baseball movie is The Natural, though he acknowledges Field of Dreams and Major League as worthy rivals.For a walk-up song, he chooses Tyler Childers' “Universal Sound,” which he also used at his inauguration.He supports several modern baseball changes, including the pitch clock, challenges on balls and strikes, and the double first base.For a fight, he picks Jim Thome, calling him built like a tree trunk.His nicest player is Andy Green, and his favorite current Reds hair belongs to the towering first baseman who came from the Rockies.Favorite announcer: John Smoltz, for his pitch-by-pitch analysis.Favorite mascot: Mr. Red, chosen as the traditional pick.In a speed race, he says Deion Sanders beats Billy Hamilton and Elly De La Cruz, based on seeing Sanders turn a routine single into a triple.Timestamps(00:00) Governor Andy Beshear joins the Reds podcast and explains why he is a lifelong fan (01:14) Childhood baseball background and his son's Division III commitment (02:10) Going to Reds games with his dad and favorite ballpark memories (03:02) Favorite managers and what winning culture looks like (04:04) The Reds decision he would reverse: the Ken Griffey Jr. signing (05:34) Reds Mount Rushmore: Pérez, Bench, Davis, and Larkin (06:28) Dinner party guests: TJ Friedl, Jose Canseco, and Freddie Freeman (09:11) Favorite ballpark food and why the hot pretzel wins (09:50) Remembering Game 2 of the 1990 World Series (11:29) Clutch Reds hitter: pre-injury Ken Griffey Jr. (12:13) Best bullpen arm: Rob Dibble and the Nasty Boys (13:18) Favorite baseball movie: The Natural (14:05) Walk-up song and why Tyler Childers fits the moment (16:25) The pitch clock, replay challenges, and the double first base (19:27) Jim Thome as the guy you want in a bench-clearing brawl (19:54) Nicest Red: Andy Green (20:22) Best head of hair on a Reds player (22:28) Favorite announcer: John Smoltz (23:23) Favorite mascot: Mr. Red (24:05) Deion Sanders vs. Billy Hamilton vs. Elly De La Cruz in a base race Jack thanks the listeners

What a wild road trip, starting with a panic-inducing sweep at the hands of the Padres and followed by an epic series in Los Angeles, where the Brewers won three of four. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg attempts to encapsulate all of it with host JR Radcliffe. Did the ninth inning Thursday become the turning point of the season? How do we classify this offense exactly? What about William Contreras in particular. The news is decent on the injury front, and Jacob Misiorowski, Dustin May, Logan Henderson and Jake Bauers are all stars. What's up with the rotating wheel of infield options (and can any of them make a play on defense)?In Three Up Three Down (33:30), they discuss a meltdown in San Diego starring Luis Rengifo, some quality moments of defense and Miz's escape against Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman. In Remembrew When (48:15), JR looks back at another time the Dodgers edged out the Brewers for a trade-deadline prize ... and then faced the Brewers in short order like Tarik Skubal on Sunday. In Curt Blanche (52:45), Curt has a saucy take about the Dodgers. Then, JR sits down with Brewers minor leaguers Jacob Hurtubise and Kaleb Bowman (1:01:30), who may not be household names but have intriguing baseball journeys. It's part of JR's visit to the Nashville Sounds last week.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open Thursday's episode by working through a three game getaway day slate before turning their attention to two of the more closely watched NFL win totals on the board. The night's headline game is the Field of Dreams matchup between the Phillies and Twins in Dyersville, Iowa, streaming on Netflix, with Aaron Nola starting for Philadelphia against Taj Bradley for Minnesota. Rain is the real storyline here, with chances climbing through the evening and threatening to shorten or postpone the game entirely, a factor the hosts believe is keeping the total pinned at eight and a half even as public money piles onto the over. Dave leans the under and toward Minnesota given his skepticism of Nola's recent form, while Munaf backs up the same concerns with Nola's home and road numbers this season. From there the show moves to Rangers at Angels, where Jacob deGrom's rough recent stretch against Houston and the White Sox opens the door for a high variance read on Walbert Urena and a shaky Los Angeles bullpen, with Dave favoring an Angels first five look and a Rangers team total over, while Munaf reveals he is the featured dollar capper on Pregame.com with a three star play on the game. The nightcap pits Shane Drohan against Roki Sasaki as the Brewers visit the Dodgers, with a Freddie Freeman injury scare from the previous night hanging over the Los Angeles lineup. Both hosts lean under the total, with Dave adding the Brewers on the run line given Milwaukee's bullpen depth and Drohan's tendency to limit home runs. After a quick pass through the day's earlier getaway games, including a Red Sox and Blue Jays pitching matchup between Payton Tolle and Max Scherzer, the conversation shifts fully into football. The Philadelphia Eagles carry a win total of ten and a half after an eleven and six season and a second straight NFC East title, and both hosts take the under, pointing to the trade of A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots, first year offensive coordinator Sean Mannion learning on the job, lingering questions in the secondary beyond Cooper DeJean, and a stronger projected NFC East. They still see Philadelphia as a ten win caliber team capable of winning the division, with DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, and rookie Makai Lemon absorbing a larger share of the passing game behind Saquon Barkley. The Detroit Lions carry the same ten and a half win total after a nine and eight season that saw the best point differential in the NFC North undone by a losing divisional record. Dave leans under given injuries to both projected starting safeties and a tougher slate of divisional quarterbacks, while Munaf takes the over, betting on Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Aidan Hutchinson returning to full strength on defense. The two hosts close the show with their daily best bets, Dave backing the Green Bay Packers minus three and a half in the first half of their preseason opener against Pittsburgh, and Munaf taking the over in Texans at Chargers behind Houston's deep receiver room and Mike McDaniel's new offense in Los Angeles. Listeners are reminded to use promo code NFL50 for fifty dollars off a full NFL season access package on Pregame.com, and the crew previews tomorrow's episode, which continues the NFL win total series with a look at the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.
