Bible Reading: Psalms 27:7-10; 116:1-9When Maggie stepped into the batter's box, she already had two strikes. One more would put her on the bench. She glanced at the stands. Her foster mom wasn't there. Maggie sighed. Her team chanted, "Two-strike hitter, don't be a quitter!" The pitch came in fast, and Maggie connected, sending the softball past the outfield. Softball took her mind off everything. When she got back home, her social worker was out front holding a bag with all Maggie's belongings. Oh no, I forgot! I'm moving today. She forced her feet to keep walking. Ever since Dad died, it was one foster home after another.After several months in her new house, Maggie saw a Bible lying open on her foster mom's desk. The words "I love the Lord because He hears my voice" jumped out at Maggie. "He doesn't hear my voice," she said out loud.Alice, Maggie's foster mom, came in and asked, "Who doesn't hear you, honey?" "Jesus doesn't. When Mom left, Dad told me to pray. When Dad got sick, I prayed. Now they're both gone." Alice put a soft hand on Maggie's shoulder. "You play softball--I did too. Do you ever cheer, 'Two-strike hitter…'""'Don't be a quitter!'" Maggie answered. "I'm a quitter at asking God for anything."Alice tapped the Bible. "Look at this psalm--Psalm 116. This man had pain and death all around him. He said he was brought low, but God heard him. Think--when your mom left, who was still with you?""Dad." Maggie paused. "And Jesus. And when Dad was sick, he told me that because Jesus died for me, I could trust Him even in hard times."Alice nodded. "Psalm 27 says that even if your mother and father are gone, the Lord will care for you. The Lord is taking care of you, Maggie. He sent you here, and we love you. We prayed for you before you came--and we're praying for your mom too. We don't know what she'll do. But we know what Jesus will do.""He'll hear my voice?" "Yes, He always hears you. Praying gives you a deeper friendship with God. When it comes to prayer, be that two-strike hitter, Maggie."Maggie grinned. "I won't be a quitter." –Laura RoeslerHow About You?Do you ever feel like you're striking out with God when you pray? Don't give up. Even when it seems like God isn't listening, He hears your prayers. He cares about your tears and your worries. He wants to hear what you have to say. Even if other people leave you, Jesus never will. He died and rose again so you could have a relationship with Him forever. Keep praying--He's listening.Today's Key Verse:Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath! (NLT) (Psalm 116:2)Today's Key Thought:The Lord hears you

With the first round of the MLB draft being over, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson discuss whether or not the Pirates should have drafted hitter instead of a pitcher in the first round.

Is your young athlete flinching, freezing, or backing out of the batter's box? You're not alone—and this episode is here to help. In today's episode of the Swing Smarter Hitting Training Podcast, Joey Myers dives headfirst into one of the most common (and least understood) roadblocks in youth baseball and softball: the fear of getting hit by a pitch. And this isn't just a “toughen up” pep talk. Instead, Joey blends sports psychology, biomechanics, and real-world drills to help parents and coaches support young hitters through fear—with clarity, compassion, and science-backed strategy. Whether your kid dominates in practice but disappears on game day, or you're just tired of watching talent get hijacked by fear, this is the episode you need.

On this episode of Good Guy / Bad Guy…Jon Jones, José Aldo, Dominick Cruz, Robbie Lawler, Anthony Smith, Matt Brown and now Dustin Poirier.

Plus, the Bad Guy has a “conspiracy theory” about the newly crowned Lightweight Champ Illia Topuria, his promise to the UFC and Islam Makhachev. Then, can you guess who DC & Chael say packed the hardest punch during their careers? And, could we soon see a matchup between Tom Aspinall and Derrick Lewis for the Heavyweight strap?

Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the masterful Sonny Gray performance from Friday as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Guardians 5-0. Sonny threw a one-hitter, a shutout, a MADDUX (fewer than 100 pitches) by retiring the Cleveland lineup for 27 outs on just 89 pitches, walking none, giving up just one hit, and somehow doing those amazing efficient things while striking out 11 batters.He was as good as we've ever seen, and doled out a lot of credits to his teammates, especially Pedro Pages, after the win. Pedro contributed, too, at the plate with a homer, and Alec Burleson also went yard. Lots of good vibes for the Cardinals to begin the road trip!Follow this podcast feed for daily Cardinals coverage!

Welcome back to another episode of Bubba (@bdentrek) and the Bloom (@RyanBHQ). On BATB 254, the guys will delve into some hitting projections and look at risers and fallers for the rest of the season.

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: What if a year from now the Pirates' key bats have developed, do we change the lens on Cherington? Henry Davis is back on the bench. The Pirates have an abundance of young pitching. Will Cherington ever trade some of the pitching for a bat? Would you deal Bubba Chandler for an impact bat?

Spencer Horwitz is now hitting .280. Nick Gonzales went 5-5 on Monday and has significantly changed his outlook. What if a year from now the Pirates' key bats have developed, do we change the lens on Cherington? Will Cherington ever trade some of the pitching for a bat? The Pirates seem fearful to make a big move to acquire hitters.

Join BT and Sal as they dissect the baffling simultaneous slumps of the New York Yankees and Mets! From shocking losing streaks and anemic offenses to questionable decision-making and a distinct lack of leadership, no sacred cow is safe in this fiery, sarcastic, and unvarnished look at why both New York baseball teams are currently united in their struggle for relevance. Are these just growing pains, or is a full-blown collapse on the horizon? Tune in to hear their no-holds-barred take!

Should Paul Skenes hit? Oneil Cruz's power numbers are down and isn't making enough hard contact. Michael wouldn't be surprised if they move Cruz down the order for a time. Michael thinks Ke'Bryan Hayes has been in-between hitting the ball out in front or being more like IKF making good contact.

Steiny & Guru wonder if Rafael Devers is the best bat since Barry Lamar Bonds and what kind of offensive ceiling the Giants now possess as they race towards the postseason.
