Sports with Rod 6-23-2025 ...Pacers Torn over Loss ...That Umpire shouldn't not have been working Home Plate ...Be a Man Monday

Ed, Rob, and Jeremy took some time from Wednesday's BBMS to recap a tough O's loss to the Tiges. In the eighth inning, Ryan O'Hearn struck out after taking what appeared to be a ball two pitches earlier. The strikeout ended the O's final threat of the evening and they'd losing 5 to 3. Do the umps hold some blame for last night's lol

It's known as America's Pastime. For about eight months each year, from March to November, baseball grips the nation in which fans root for their favorite teams for their chance to play in the World Series, the event that culminates the season. But while the sport is intrinsically linked with America and the Americab identity, it enjoys a fanbase overseas as well, though perhaps none with quite as dedicated and passionate a following as that which hails from the Land of the Rising Sun. Join me this week as we travel to the Far East to explore the history of baseball in Japan!

Andy and Randy break down the possibility for heckling and interaction with Phillies players while sitting right behind home plate for tonight's game.

2012 Giants Draft ClassRound 1 (32nd): David Wilson, RB, Virginia TechThe Giants originally wanted Doug Martin, but the Bucs traded ahead of them to select him 31st overall. David Wilson's career, unfortunately, is a story of what could have been, as a neck injury ended a promising start.Round 2 (63rd): Reuben Randle, WR, LSURandle played four seasons with the Giants, amassing 938 yards in 2014 and eight touchdowns in 2015. Despite his production, he faced issues such as being benched twice in 2014 for being late to meetings. Round 3 (94th): Jayron Hosley, DB, Virginia TechHosley played four seasons with the Giants, primarily as a right-side corner. His career was hampered by a series of minor injuries and a significant concussion. Round 4 (127th): Adrien Robinson, TE, CincinnatiDubbed by Jerry Reese as "the JPP of Tight Ends," Robinson had just 29 catches in four seasons in college but impressed with his workout. He spent three seasons with the Giants but saw minimal action in the first two years. Round 4 (131st): Brandon Mosley, Tackle, AuburnMosley initially played at Coffeyville Community College as a defensive end and tight end before converting to tackle at Auburn, where he started at right tackle for two seasons. He played two seasons with the Giants, appearing in 22 games with one start.Round 6 (201st): Matt McCants, Tackle, Alabama-BirminghamMcCants spent his rookie year on the Giants' practice squad and was cut in 2013. Round 7 (239th): Markus Kuhn, DT, North Carolina StateBorn and raised in Germany, Kuhn learned about football while on vacation in Florida. He played for the Weinheim Longhorns in Germany before joining NC State.2012 Draft OverallThis draft class was highly disappointing for the Giants. David Wilson showed promise but was derailed by a neck injury, making the pick a poor return on investment. Reuben Randle was the best pick in the draft but was let go despite the Giants' need at receiver.Giants Assistant GM Brandon Brown to Attend the Ozzie Newsome General Manager ForumThe NFL, in partnership with the Black College Hall of Fame, is hosting the Ozzie Newsome General Manager Forum on June 17th and 18th.

On and off the plate, women are gaining ground behind the glam and fanfare of the baseball diamond. Particularly in such a male-dominated industry, Brielle Speranzini, a Business Manager in the marketing department at the New York Mets, has seen a notable increase within the organization in the inclusion of female executives. Brielle's journey to date has had her rely on her gut instinct, take chances, push herself to explore new experiences rather than settle into what is seemingly an easier path, and encourage all to step out of line in some form or another every single day.

Truman Moore is a talented 7th-grade youth baseball player with a passion for the game and a dream to play in the Major Leagues. Truman's perspective on his youth baseball team is shaped by his active participation in player interviews and his personal interests, which extend beyond the diamond to include history and music. He started playing baseball at a young age and has since developed a strategic approach to pitching, focusing on ground balls rather than strikeouts. His dedication to the sport is evident in his participation in a pitch hit and run contest, where he advanced to the second round, and his aspiration to play college baseball at Vanderbilt University. Join Aaron and Truman Moore on this episode of The S.L.I.D.E. Podcast as they delve deeper into Truman's experiences and aspirations both on and off the field. #baseball #youthsports #dreambig #pitching #catcherlife #history #inspiration #MLB #superheroes #podcast Please email us for any questions or feedback.

Is baseball God's game? Dr. Jared Ortiz, a teacher of Catholic theology at Hope College thinks.. maybe so? He is currently co-authoring a commentary on the Nicene Creed, and along the way, drawing fascinating connections to it and a theology of baseball.

Ben & Woods kick off the 7am hour continuing to talk about last night's 6-2 win over the Marlins, and we update everyone on some injury updates on Tim Hill and Joe Musgrove that we got from Bob Melvin prior to yesterday's game. Then we get to "Don't Do This" before we talk about YET ANOTHER controversial play at home plate, and we try to come up with a solution for the game. Listen here!

On Episode 705 of Hittin' Season, John Stolnis of The Good Phight and Justin Klugh from Baseball Prospectus recap the disappointing Phillies-Twins series and Sunday's loss largely attributable to a home plate umpire recently called up from AAA. No, seriously. Also, was the 6-4 homestand a disappointment, or just fine, considering the Phils have the 3rd best record in the National League? And it was Alumni Weekend at CBP, who would we most want to hang out with this weekend?

The commissioner, God, has given us His rule book, the Word of God, and He entrusts us to make calls of balls or strikes, and follow the rule book with accuracy. King David failed to discuss the difficult things in his family. In 2 Samuel 13, David failed to jump in and speak up when Absalom plotted the murder of his brother Amnon. Judgment starts in our home and judgment has to be dealt with at home plate. We are protectors in our homes and we live out of the confidence that we have Jesus Christ.

The Nats won 4-1 in Seattle to take the series and end their West Coast road trip with a winning record (4-2). Mark (Live from T-Mobile Park) & Al (He's Back!) revel in Patrick Corbin's stellar performance where he struck out 9 Mariners in 7 IP; without issuing any walks. This was especially clutch considering how short handed the bullpen availability was entering Wednesday afternoon. (11:00) Amos Willingham made his MLB debut in the 8th inning and immediately allowed a Solo HR. Willingham did settle down though to retire the next 3 batters before Hunter Harvey notched the Save. (17:00) The Nationals immediately led 3-0 as Jeimer Candelario and Keibert Ruiz each had RBI hits. Al points out how Candelario still has a real chance to make it to Seattle for the All Star Game. Ruiz was involved in a controversial call at Home Plate that led to Davey Martinez's immediate ejection. The hosts try to understand what Ruiz did wrong while trying to avoid the tag and poke holes into the logic of the overly complicated rule. (31:30) Jackson Rutledge, Starting Pitching prospect who was the franchise's 2019 1st Round Pick, has been promoted to AAA Rochester. Could he make his MLB debut this year? At the end of the episode, hear what Jim Callis (Senior Writer for MLB Pipeline) on a rehabbing Cade Cavalli as well. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hour 2 - Steve says the problem was the catcher's foot was on home plate in the controversial call in Rangers-White Sox last night, and MLB players who should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. 

Tuesday, April 15th, 1947. 12:30PM. It's damp and overcast. We're at Ebbets field in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York. The visiting Boston Braves are playing the Brooklyn Dodgers on opening day. We can smell hot dogs, pretzels, popcorn, knishes, and beer. Manager Leo Deroucher has been suspended by MLB's offices for conduct detrimental to the team. He'll have to sit out the whole season. Burt Shotton, known to be calm and steady, is managing the Dodgers. They're expected to contend. Red Barber is up in the press booth calling the action for CBS and Gladys Gooding is on the organ. Here with us are stadium celebs like the Dodgers Sym-phony and Hilda Chester the Cowbell Lady, along with more than twenty-six thousand others. These men, women, and children are wearing Dodgers caps, windbreakers, flannel jackets, letterman's sweaters, sport coats, and suits. They're Italian, African-American, Jewish, Irish, Polish, Norwegian. At 12:45 the melting pot stirs as the Dodgers trot out of the clubhouse. There's Second Baseman Eddie Stanky, Center Fielder Peter Reiser, Catcher Bruce Edwards, and pitcher Joe Hatten. Hatten warms up as one by one the rest of the Dodgers starters come out. Right fielder Dixie Walker. Left Fielder Gene Hermanski. Third Baseman Spider Jorgensen, Shortstop Pee Wee Reese. There's an audible buzz as the Dodgers first baseman and final starter comes out. This man was born in Cairo, Georgia. The youngest son of a sharecropper, he was a four-sport letterman at UCLA, and an Army second lieutenant in World War II. His name is Jack Roosevelt Robinson and he's the first African-American to play in the Major Leagues since Moses Fleetwood Walker in 1884. Robinson tosses infield practice until Home Plate umpire Babe Pinell signals for the start of the game. Robinson smooths the dirt in a playing path by first base and sets himself, knees bent, slightly crouched. His glove is on the ground and open. Boston's Shortstop Dick Culler digs in. Brooklyn's lefty Joe Hatten winds and delivers the pitch. Culler swings and slaps a ground ball towards third base. He digs out of the batter's box as Spider Jorgensen charges in and fields the ball on a high hop, throwing slightly off balance towards first base. Robinson, right foot on the bag, stretches as far as he can, catching Jorgensen's throw and getting Culler out by a step. And just like that, a fifty-year old gentleman's agreement between changing owners and the commissioner's office, that had barred any dark skinned men from playing in the league, was dead. It died here in Flatbush at 1PM, on Tuesday April 15th, 1947 as twenty-six thousand people looked on, and wildly cheered. Later, in the bottom of the Seventh inning, after an error while batting allowed him to reach second base, Robinson scored the Dodgers fifth run of the game on a double from Pete Reiser. The Dodgers would win five to three. Although he was the subject of taunts, bean balls, spikes, and scuffles with opposing players and fans all season, Jackie Robinson had the faith of African-Americans and Brooklyn Dodgers fans, as well as the quickly-earned support of his teammates. Robinson would go on to hit .297 with one-hundred-twenty-five runs scored, forty-eight extra-base hits, and lead the league with twenty-nine stolen bases en route to winning the Rookie of the Year as the Brooklyn Dodgers went ninety-four and sixty, winning the National League pennant.

Welcome to PICU Doc On Call, A Podcast Dedicated to Current and Aspiring Intensivists.I'm Pradip Kamat coming to you from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta/Emory University School of Medicine and I'm Rahul Damania, from Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital. We are two Pediatric ICU physicians passionate about all things MED-ED in the PICU. PICU Doc on Call focuses on interesting PICU cases & management in the acute care pediatric setting so let's get into our episode:Welcome to our Episode about a 14-year-old male who collapsed on the baseball field.Here's the case presented by Rahul:A 14-year-old male athlete was playing in a high school baseball tournament when he was hit in the chest with a pitched ball. The impact caused him to collapse on the field. Bystander CPR was begun given his unresponsiveness and emergency medical services were immediately called. The patient was transported to the hospital. Upon arrival, he was unresponsive and had no pulse. An electrocardiogram (ECG) showed ventricular fibrillation, and advanced cardiac life support was initiated. After several shocks and cardiac compressions, the patient regained a pulse and was transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit for further evaluation and management.To summarize key elements from this case, this patient has:Been struck by a high-velocity object in the chestSuffered a cardiac arrest, likely due to an arrhythmia from the blunt chest traumaThe presentation brings up a concern for Commotio Cordis, our topic of discussion today!We wanted to create this educational episode in light of the recent medical event experienced by the Buffalo Bill's safety Damar Hamlin. His blunt chest trauma, which led to cardiac arrest, has been postulated to be due to commotio cordis. At the date of this record, we are glad that Damar Hamlin is on the road to recovery.Absolutely, let's dive in more into this topic, Let's start with a short multiple-choice question:The 14-year-old described in our case suffered cardiac arrest after blunt chest trauma. Based on the working diagnosis of comottio cordis, what is the most likely EKG finding which may be seen in this patient?A. Ventricular fibrillationB. Ventricular tachycardiaC. Complete heart blockD. AsystoleThe correct answer is A. In a study published in JAMA (2002; 287(9):1142-1146) which used data from the US Commotio Cordis registry maintained by the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation, reported that the most common arrhythmia out of the 128 confirmed cases, 82 of which had EKGs which could be analyzed was ventricular fibrillation. Three patients had Vtach, 3 had Bradyarrhythmia and 1 had complete heart block. Although 40 patients had asystole, this was unlikely to be the initial rhythm after impact. Interestingly, the majority of these rhythms were recorded at the scene.Rahul, What is the definition of Commotio...

February 20, 1951 (or July 1951). Emmett Ashford is waiting inside the ballpark of the Mexicali Eagles. At 36 years old, he's toiled around the United States, working toward his goal of becoming a professional umpire. Finally, he lands a tryout just south of the border to make it happen. But there's a problem: the other umpires needed to play the game are white— they won't take the field with a Black man.Today, Emmett Ashford attempts to become the first Black umpire in organized baseball. Can he make it happen? And if so, can he overcome barriers to make it all the way to the majors?Special thanks to our guests: Raymond Bell, the executive producer of “Called Up: The Emmett Ashford Story” and Doug Harris, the producer, director and editor of the same film; Adrienne Bratton, the daughter of Emmett Ashford; and Mark Armour, a baseball historian.
