Podcasts about hofers

Send us a textAbout 1/8th of the season is past so you can pretty much take #MLB player stats and multiply by eight. Tyler Soderstrom of the #athletics s is not going to hit 72 home runs. But #yankees  AaronJudge could definitely finish with 56 or more homers. Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt was taken out by a line drive foul ball last week in the #Mets #Twins series at Citi Field. Hoping that he's going to be ok but it was a scary thing. Is the National League really that much better than the American League this season?  It may seem so at first but it's too early to be certain. Might be that the top #NL teams #Padres #Dodgers #Cubs #Giants #Phillies and Mets are stronger than those in the #AL where the #Rangers & Yankees stand out. Is Manny Machado a sure-fire HOFer? He plays 3B which is generally underrepresented in the HOF. He's closer than you think and is in his 14th season of a stellar career. We talk about the slam dunk HOFers playing (Verlander, Scherzer, Kershaw), and others who are probably already there as well as those knocking on the door.Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

Send us a textFounded in 1901, the AL contains teams like #Yankees and #RedSox who have an epic list in their top 5 for players hitting home runs while a member of the franchise. Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Mickey Mantle, David "Big Papi' Ortiz, Jim Rice, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra are all in their teams top 5. All are HOFer.. Aaron Judge is outside the Yankee top five but he's closing fast.  Then there's the #orioles. Another original #AmericanLeague team, they started as the Milwaukee Brewers for one year before moving to St. Louis and becoming the Browns. HOFers Eddie Murray, Cal Ripken Jr. and Frank Robinson are in the top 5. But Besides being mostly terrible, the Browns had few home run threats. The #bluejays and #Rays are more recent additions but only Fred McGriff is in the top five of either team and is a HOFer. Carlos Delgado rules the roost for Toronto. Edwin Encarnacion has 424 career homers not 434 #guardians #tigers #whitesox #twins #royals have familiar names in their top two but once you go deeper it gets more difficult. #athletics #angels #rangers #astros #mariners have a few HOFers on their list.Link to an article by Mark - https://almostcooperstown.substack.com/p/career-home-run-leaders-for-each-be7?r=6m2o9Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

Send us a Text Message.Manager Jim Leyland, along with all-time greats Adrian Beltre, Todd Helton, and Joe Mauer all were officially inducted into Cooperstown this past Sunday. All 4 made heartfelt and good speeches. It's always great to see the amount of HOFers that show up on a hot July afternoon to sit outside in a jacket and tie to show their respect for the newest inductees. Helton and Mauer played their entire careers for one team only - the Rockies and Twins respectively. Beltre came up at 19 with the Dodgers but saw great years in Seattle and Texas with a quick one year stop in Boston.  Beltre resides in the same stratosphere with Mike Schmidt and Brooks Robinson as overall great 3rd basemen. Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

Which Divisional loser will be back next year? Who are the future HOFers we will be watching this weekend? Titans hire Brian Callahan.

8 World Series Titles.  10 World Series losses. The Giants began playing in 1883 in the Polo Grounds and never played in another stadium in New York.  They went to the Bay Area in 1958 and appeared in the World Series in 1962 but not again until 1989, finally winning their 1st WS in 56 years in 2010? Hall of Famers abound in Giants history particularly in the outfield.  But not as much outside of 1st base in the infield. We also discuss HOFers that were Giants but not for very long.

A listener Chris S. suggested we talk about the HOFers who wore team caps on their plaque in Cooperstown, and those that did not. This year HOFer Andre Dawson again petitioned to have his HOF plaque changed to have him wear a Cubs cap instead an Expo cap which the Baseball Hall of Fame mandated. Sometimes a HOFer had an unusual reason for not going in wearing a logo on his cap at all.  We discuss all the teams HOFers and only the Rays and the Marlins have zero players wearing that team's cap.  We also discuss players on this year's HOF ballot and if they were to be elected, what cap the player might wear.

We love that Hank Aaron has the most Total Bases in baseball history. In fact the list of players for all-time Total Bases is filled with Hall of Famers and would-be HOFers. Mark recently wrote an article on Total Bases per Plate Appearance - sort of a new way to look at a player's offensive contribution. It can be accessed here:  https://open.substack.com/pub/almostcooperstown/p/if-war-is-hell-could-there-be-one?r=6m2o9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web. We take it further by discussing team performance as it relates to TB/PA. The 2023 Braves right now are at the top of the all-time list and we talk about how great a hitting team they are as well as some of the other greatest hitting teams in MLB history. The 1927 Yankees are on the list. www.almostcooperstown.com

On Tuesday's show, we talked about Austin Reaves, his great run to this point with Team USA in the World Cup, and how he might be a catalyst for helping lighten the load on LeBron James this season, something the Lakers have been trying to do for a couple seasons now.One viewer of the show wondered if that's possible, saying in his mind, LeBron wouldn't let that happen.But is that really the issue?Dig into the numbers, and it's clear the team hasn't had any success lowering his burden, even last season after the deadline and the Lakers had a better roster. Why? Well, in part because on offense at least, deemphasizing LeBron is a questionable hoops choice. Is he old? Yes. But he's also still elite, and better at _____ offensively that pretty much anyone the Lakers are going to use (particularly in the role of an orchestrator). Plus, with superstars, it's often the teammates who do the deferring.So can Reaves help? Well, he does share an ethos and some of the skill set that LeBron brings offensively (though obviously not at the same level). But really, if LeBron is playing, he's going to be LeBron. So the can the Lakers get him to play less? Maybe that's where guys like Reaves, D'Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura and (obviously) Anthony Davis play a significant role. Can the Lakers get off to a strong start this season? Can they put games away so stars can sit late?Meanwhile, Robert Horry says Michael Cooper should have his jersey retired by the Lakers, and has his reasons. They are, especially for someone like Cooper, who many think is worthy of the Hall of Fame, very reasonable. The Lakers, as everyone knows, only retire the jerseys of HOFers. But would/should Coop be the exception to the rule?HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Can Reaves really lower the burden on LeBron?

Should Aaron Rodgers break his streak of sitting out preseason games? The new Jets QB didn't suit up for the Hall of Fame Game against the Browns and he hasn't played in the preseason since 2018. Plus, the Mets trade away both future Hall of Famers, Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer. Was that the right move and is this a full rebuild in New York?

Quote of the week: "Douglass gets his helmet knocked off. My god, one of these days, his head's going to be in there with it." Intro-outro music is "Hit the Hole," by William Loose. 

Current Events Seahawks: Did we mention Bobby Wagner re-signed with the Seahawks? That gives them 5 future HoFers on the squadHuskies corner! Did we say Keion Brooks Jr. was leaving UW next year? No we didn't. He's coming back! He was celebrated at Senior Night so we all assumed he was gone. We were wrong. Huskies still have 4 scholarship spots available, the Tyee Club should spread some NIL money aroundThe Masters: Seattle Native, who grew up playing Jefferson Golf Course, made history as the oldest player to make the cut at the mastersStorm select Jordan Horston out of Tennessee; average 16 points; 7 rebs; 3 assists; and 2 steals in 27 mins per game... 20 pts a game and close to 10 rebs if given Caitlin Clark Mins)What's Kraken!? The Kraken clinched their first playoff berth in the franchise's storied history last Thursday with a dominant win over the Arizona Coyotes at home. My brother got to ride the zamboni before the game and I got to witness it. | There were multiple fights during the game and it was clear the Coyotes weren't trying to win so much as they were trying to hurt the Kraken. One guy took off his skate and tried to stab somebody (Happy Gilmore reference) | The Kraken played the Coyotes again and beat them handily, again. Played Vegas on Tuesday night and lost. Could have overtaken the Kings for the 3-spot in the Pacific Division. Final game of the season is Thursday night at home against the Golden Knights | While you're at it, look up the Coyotes home stadium. The phrase "poverty franchise" gets thrown around a lot on the internet by sports fans trolling their rivals, but the Coyotes embody that to their core. | Main Event | The Seattle Mariners are kind of good and kind of bad. | First, a recap. They won their series in Cleveland over the weekend but did not sweep. They went 3-4 vs the Guardians and don't play them again this season...so they lose that tiebreaker when it comes time for playoff seeding/homefield. | They didn't sweep because they lost a 12 inning game on Sunday. They took a 6-5 lead in top12 but Murfee started the bottom 12th IBBing Jose Ramirez, the winning run, and then throwing a wild pickoff that let both runners advance. One basehit later, the game was over. | Now they're at Wrigley and lost a heartbreaker, coughing up a 7-0 lead and eventually losing 14-9. | - 0-3 in extra innings this year. | - 1-4 in games that were decided by one run OR went to extra innings. They were 36-24 is those games last year and it pretty much made the entire difference in their season..  | - Why the regression? Well, to start with the relievers are either pitching poorly or injured. Andres Munoz is the latest pitcher to hit the IL with shoulder stiffness. There is no hard diagnosis, so it's unlikely he misses significant time but the Sonoran Smoke was crucial to our success last year. | - Logan Gilbert also had a sketchy outing in Cleveland over the weekend. He threw 81 pitches through 4+ innings and got taken out when it was apparent he'd lost significant control and velocity. His FB, regularly sitting 95-97, was in the low 90s. Per USS Mariner Marc on twitter, Gilbert had 1 FB last year at or below 92. He's not on the IL but did we mention midway through last year he was leading the league in pitches thrown? Concerning. | - Now for the good part! France, Suarez and Raleigh are one of the best triple threats in the league right now. France and Suarez particularly are tearing it up, batting .330/.370/.480 combined. Raleigh is batting 30 points higher BA than he did last year, and it's | not even the elimination of the shift that's doing it. He's hitting it the opposite field 32% of the time vs 22% last year. His soft contact % is up significantly but that will likely correct itself during the course of the season. Th

Fresh off of spring training, Jim Kaat is back and better than ever. He covers his time with the Twins as the Special Assistant to the President of the MN Twins. Kaat starts off sharing stories a great Twins era of the late 60's and early 70's where they had 5 homegrown HOFers on one squad. Jim takes an in depth look on the modern spring training and offers thoughts and ideas as to where his great experience could mesh with the modern game. The new rule changes are navigated and the WBC celebrated. With his time calling the games for WBC in 09, 13,17 Kaat offers a unique perspective on the rise of the game. Conversations with Carew, Oliva, and a lunch with former NFL Coach Bill Parcells all find their way into the show.

Year 1 was... not good. Russell Westbrook arrived with a lot of fanfare (and a lot of trepidation on the part of fans and pundits alike) and almost from the jump nothing went well. The fit was bad, the team lost, and lost and lost some more and all the while Westbrook didn't play particularly well. And then there was finger pointing, a lack of self-awareness and accountability when it was all done. Westbrook famously lit up LeBron James and Anthony Davis in his exit interview.Most people assumed the Lakers would do ANYTHING to get rid of Westbrook, but then the summer came, and suddenly Westbrook looked like a guy who might be around for a while. Not because the Lakers necessarily want it that way, but because trading him is really hard. And since, Westbrook has tried really hard to look like a guy fitting in. He's showed up at press conferences for Darvin Ham and Patrick Beverley. He threw Pat Bev a towel and engaged him in a super awkward bro hug. Ham has praised Westbrook's attitude.And a few listeners have noticed, and even grown sympathetic. Feeling bad for how awkward it has become for someone of his stature. Is sympathy deserved? What about empathy? Or is antipathy, and only that, all he deserves?The answer wraps in all sorts of complicated things about the nature of elite level athletes. Of course, all of this changes if Westbrook decides he's not a guy who is willing to accept a buyout, which would make it more complicated for the Lakers to trade him. Is he that proud?Meanwhile, Pau Gasol is in line to join the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2025. Right now, at least, it looks like Gasol might be the only NBA player in that class, providing a unique spotlight and focus for a guy who spent so much of his career playing a supporting role. Now, though, he plays a different one. So much of Gasol's legacy now is seen in through the prism of Kobe Bryant's death. Kobe would have been a huge part of Pau's jersey retirement next spring at the Crypt. He almost certainly would have introduced and inducted Pau into the Hall (where only other HOFers get to do that sort of thing). None of that, sadly, is going to happen.If there's anyone perfect for carrying that kind of responsibility, and continuing to share the spotlight, it's Pau.HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Is it possible Westbrook is ... a sympathetic figure at this point? Maybe even a little?SEGMENT 2: Is sympathy the right word? Maybe empathy? What if he decides he's unwilling to be bought out by a team he's traded to?SEGMENT 3: Looking ahead at Pau Gasol's HOF induction in 2025, and everything that comes with it.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
