Puerto Rico vs. Dominican Republic is coming to Citi Field, and Carlos Delgado is taking it seriously. Delgado joins Jay Horwitz to break down why this matchup is so much more than a game — the energy, the culture, the bragging rights — and why once first pitch hits, everyone's playing to win. He talks about teaming up with Carlos Beltrán on the bench, Mets bullpen coach José Rosado, and why he's managing Puerto Rico like it's the World Baseball Classic. Delgado also opens up on 25 years of his Extra Bases Foundation, rebuilding Puerto Rico after hurricanes, mentoring the next generation of players, and what it means to still hold the PR home run record. Oh — and he tells the story behind that 9-RBI night at Yankee Stadium.

For the Glory KC is back with the 149th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City did what we've been asking for and hired a new President of Soccer Operations. David Lee is in charge of all things soccer over at Sporting KC, and he'll report directly to ownership. That's actually the first (serious) subject on the pod. CSO? PoSO? General Manager? Sporting Director? Technical Director? To quote the former King of the Seven Kingdoms, Robert Baratheon, "titles, titles, titles."On today's, not quite an emergency podcast, we learn about David Lee's professional past, his time with NYCFC and his track record of success.He also comes out of the City Football Group (CFG) empire, so we tell you what the heck that means and what impact that likely had on the resources he had at his disposal and how it could both be benefiting him and limiting him at other times.Sheena and I also weigh in on Lee's history of youth development and a knack for signing young talent. A lot of that is CFG related, but it also could be the direction he decides to take with Sporting KC. There is so much to talk about with Lee, you should probably just download the episode already!As a tease, here are some of the quotes from the media we'll cite around the excitement of the David Lee hire:David Gass: "This is probably better than what I would have guessed is a best-case scenario for SKC.”Tom Bogert: "David Lee joining Sporting KC from NYCFC as CSO is a big move. Impressive by SKC to court and land Lee, as it's rare for a CSO to leave for another CSO role. Lee one of league's respected sporting executives. Gets to rebuild SKC around Dejan Joveljic, Manu Garcia and more."Joe Lowery: "SKC fans should be pleased with the David Lee hire. While it's hard to know how much of NYCFC's success during Lee's time there stemmed from his roster-building vs. CFG's resources, he's got real experience in a recruiting machine."Taylor Twellman: "Smart. Clever. Great Hire from Sporting KC. David Lee is someone who can really get SKC over the hump and his experience with NYCFC in MLS will be invaluable in turning around the franchise in Kansas."Andrew Weibe: "This is truly a great get for Kansas City. Lee has repeatedly hit at every roster designation with his signings (not all HRs, of course, before you get in the mentions). Pascal Jansen has been an A+ managerial hire. NYCFC has been consistently good to excellent under his watch."In the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:MLS Offseason scheduleSKC International call-upsA new job for Peter Vermes?World Cup Ticket Pricesand more!Here is a rundown of topics and start times:Sporting KC hire a CSO - 2:50Digital Crawl - 59:59Upcoming GamesSporting KC @ Minnesota United, Sat.

Off The Bench is back weekdays from 10a to 11a followed by The Stone Shields Show from 11a to noon! Last night's "Monday Night Football" showdown at Empower Field at Mile High turned into a nightmare for the Cincinnati Bengals, who fell flat in a humiliating 28-3 drubbing by the Denver Broncos. Entering Week 4 at 2-1, the Bengals were riding high after gritty wins over the Browns and Jaguars, but the absence of star quarterback Joe Burrow—sidelined by a Grade 3 turf toe injury—exposed their vulnerabilities like never before. Backup Jake Browning, thrust into the spotlight, managed a dismal 14-of-25 for just 105 yards, with zero touchdowns and the offense mustering a pathetic 159 total yards. It was a symphony of miscues: penalties stalled drives, the line crumbled under pressure, and the defense, once a Bengals hallmark, leaked like a sieve. The Broncos, meanwhile, feasted. Rookie sensation Bo Nix orchestrated a masterclass, completing 29 of 42 passes for 326 yards, two aerial scores, and adding a rushing touchdown to cap his MVP-worthy night. Running back J.K. Dobbins bulldozed for 101 yards—the first 100-yard rusher under coach Sean Payton—while receiver R.J. Harvey snagged a 12-yard touchdown to seal the rout. Denver's opportunistic play turned Bengals turnovers into points, improving the Broncos to 2-2 and injecting life into a franchise starved for prime-time joy. For Cincinnati, now 2-2, the loss stings in a wide-open AFC North, with a daunting Lions matchup looming on Oct. 5. Burrow's return can't come soon enough; without him, the Who-Dey faithful are left questioning if this team's championship window is slamming shut. Shifting gears to baseball, Cincinnati sports fans get a shot at catharsis tonight as the Reds clash with the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series at Dodger Stadium (9:08 p.m. ET, ESPN). The Reds (83-79) stormed into October on the regular season's final day, edging the Mets in a payroll-punishing thriller—their first playoff dance since 2020. Riding momentum, they're underdogs at +167 odds, but sparkplug shortstop Elly De La Cruz (22 HRs, 86 RBIs) could be the X-factor, his speed and flair a nightmare for LA's stars like Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman (.295 BA, scorching lately). On the hill, Reds ace Hunter Greene faces Dodgers lefty Blake Snell in a pitcher's duel, with the over/under at 7.5. LA (93-69), the defending champs with a half-billion-dollar payroll, dominated the season series 30-15 but swept Cincy at home last month. Still, the Reds' sneaky bullpen edge and 30-year-old ghosts of their 1995 NLDS sweep over LA fuel upset dreams. A Reds win tonight? It'd be the ultimate salve for Bengals wounds, proving Cincinnati's stripes run deeper than one bad night. Buckle up—October magic awaits.

Hoy martes en 'Grito Primal' Programa 30, tenemos el especial "¿Grunge o hijos de Sabbath?" revisando los discazos "Facelift" de ALICE IN CHAINS y "Badmotorfinger" de SOUNDGARDEN. Imperdible!! Martes 10 y 22 Hrs por Rockaxis.Fm Conduce @CrissAxis / @AliceInChains @Soundgarden

Send us a text#Mets fans like we are might be relieved that the nightmare finish to the season is finally over. Sure making the playoffs would have been great, but #Reds deserved it more & getting spanked by #Dodgers would have been up next for the boys from Citi Field. #Phillies look good to Gordon, Mark is between Dodgers and #Padres.  Neither of think give the #Cubs a chance and both of us still doubt #Brewers which is totally unfair. In the AL #BlueJays & #Mariners finally didn't choke!  #Yankees #RedSox wild card series is delicious as is #Guardians - #Tigers after the Motor City Kitties gave up the AL Central crown that seemed theirs for the taking a couple of weeks ago. #Astros will sit out this year's #MLB playoffs as will #Rangers.  We had 4 players (Raleigh, Judge, Ohtani, and Schwarber) hit 50+ homers w Eugenio Suarez falling just short with 49. It would have been the 1st time there were 5 players who hit 50 HRs. Paul Skenes of the #Pirates finished w a 1.97 ERA which we will talk about for years after he wins the 2025 NL Cy Young award. There will be robo umps in #baseball next season. A challenge system will be in use with 2 challenges per team per game.  It's been a long time coming and will make a difference in a positive way we think. We make our picks in both leagues so enjoy the episode! Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

al declared the Mets officially "dead in the water" following yet another poor performance, which highlighted the team's catastrophic starting pitching issues—forcing the use of relievers like Richard Lovelady in the third inning. Meanwhile, the Yankees are humming, tied for the AL East lead with the Blue Jays, whose "collapse" and previous "trash talk" have made an impending division title all the sweeter for New York. The guys also dove into the AL MVP race, with Sal sticking with Cal Raleigh (60 HRs as a catcher) over Aaron Judge (51 HRs) for the "Most Valuable" distinction. The show wrapped with a fiery NFL Week 4 power rankings debate, with Sal shockingly placing the Detroit Lions at number one, and a visit from former Jet Tony Richardson to discuss the dysfunctional New York football scene.

From playing JC baseball to leaving the game altogether, to say Giants' prospect Bo Davidson's journey to the pros is improbable would be a gross understatement. The 23-year-old lefty-swinging outfielder has all the physical tools to be elite. And he is starting to put a lot of them to good use. Davidson batted 281/376/468 between Eugene (High A) and Richmond (AA). He finished 2025 with 18 HRs, 70 RBIs, and 19 SBs. He ended the season strong in Richmond, flashing the potential that places him near the top of the Giants' prospect list.In this one-on-one, Cheats and Bo discuss his journey, which began in North Carolina. He played multiple sports growing up, but ultimately settled on baseball. The learning curve at the professional level is steep, but Bo is prepared to take on the challenge. Led by his faith in God and his belief in his ability, he plans to get to the MLB sooner rather than later.

Fantasy Baseball Live – August 24, 2025 @ 3:00 pmMicrosoft Teams:Segments 1 and 2 – Review of Weekend GamesAdditional Questions:1.Five young kids that we might see soon. Your thoughts for picking up:1)JJ Wetherholt (3B/2B/SS, STL) – The Cardinals have played him at third base seven times this month, and he's been on and off second base this season.2)Spencer Jones (OF, NYY) – He's tied for the lead in home runs in the minor leagues with 32.3)Jonah Tong (RHP, NYM) – Word coming out of New York is this might happen sooner rather than later.4)Payton Tolle (LHP, Bos) – Pitching to a 3.04 ERA across High, Double and Triple-A. He has 133 Ks and 23 walks in 92.1 IP. His fastball topped out at 99 MPH in Friday's start.5)Robby Snelling (LHP, Mia) – Fastball is up to 97 MPH from the left side and is pitching to a 2.73 ERA across Double and Triple-A this season. 2.Nestor Cortes pitched a one-hitter against the Dodgers on Saturday. What? His fastball averaged 90.1 MPH (T 92). Old school baseball?. Really???3.The Mariners released Dylan Moore, who started the season strong (.290, 7 HRs, 13 SB) through mid-May, then cooled off, lost his spot, and now he's cut. Is there anything here if he gets picked up by another MLB team?a.Victor Robles gets reinstated after throwing his bat at a pitcher in a Triple-A game. He takes Moore's spot on the roster. He was a sexy draft pick this season, but a shoulder injury has cost him most of the season, and then, of course, the issue in Triple-A.4. I know Nick Kurtz has the ROY award practically wrapped up in the American League, but will Colson Montgomery receive some votes? In just 41 games, he's hit 12 home runs with 34 RBIs. The 12 home runs are fourth in baseball among all rookies, and the 34 RBIs rank 12th. The 11 players ahead of him have all played twice as many games, with some nearly three times as many. BTW, he's hitting .229 with 44 strikeouts in 41 games (28% K-Rate, 7% BB-Rate) with a poor chase rate.5.What does going 4 for 15 in your first four professional games get you? An 8-year, $67 million contract. That's what Samuel Basallo signed on Friday. It's a deal similar to what Jackson Chourio signed before the start of the 2024 (8-year, $87 million or 30% more). A good deal of the Orioles? What about Basallo?a.Now that he should be up for good (although Kristian Campbell might disagree), how do the Orioles use him? b.Does he get enough at-bats at catcher to retain eligibility this season or at least get it in April of 2026?c.Would the Orioles consider trading Adley Rutschman?

In Episode 108 of Chase for 28, Chris and the Podcast Padre break down another week of inconsistency and frustration in the Bronx. Despite hopes of a turnaround, the Yankees remain stuck in mediocrity—splitting series with Houston and Minnesota and now clinging to the third Wild Card spot. The guys examine the team's lack of urgency, puzzling bullpen decisions, and the offensive struggles that continue to plague the lineup.They also discuss the fallout from Old-Timers Day, including Mariano Rivera's freak injury, Derek Jeter's absence, and whether the Yankees missed a chance to make the event truly special. Plus, Michael Kay sounds off on Boone's bullpen usage, Cody Bellinger's looming free agency shakes up the hot stove, and the guys share strong opinions on analytics, launch angle, and the lost art of situational hitting. All that, plus Spencer Jones watch, a Hall of Fame trivia recap, and this week's new trivia question for die-hard fans.Topics Covered:Recap of the week: Yankees go 3–3 (series vs. Houston & Minnesota)Yankees' current standing: 64–57, third in AL East, barely holding the Wild CardLack of urgency and bullpen mismanagement (Michael Kay rant)Offense still inconsistent—why the home run or nothing approach is failingPositives: Giancarlo Stanton's recent hot streak (.394, 4 HR in 11 games)Injury news: Trade deadline acquisitions on IL; Rivera tears Achilles at Old-Timers DayOld-Timers Day reaction: Jeter's absence, how the Yankees should make it special againYogi Berra's Mets cameo in '65—fact-checkCody Bellinger opting out?

On Episode 989 of Hittin' Season, powered by WHYY, John Stolnis of The Good Phight recaps Wednesday night's awful loss to the Red Sox and tries to get to the bottom of Jesus Luzardo's struggles. Also, Cristopher Sanchez is now a bona fide ace, John goes inside the numbers on what makes him so special. And what are the latest Trade Rumors surrounding the Phils? John breaks down all the latest. Could the Phils move Ranger Suarez or Luzardo this summer? Show Notes: Disastrous loss in the finale Phillies blow a 5-0 lead, HRs from Schwarber, Harper, Castellanos & Stott, Realmuto It's the Phils' first loss in a game they homered five or more times since June 10, 2019. They haven't won three in a row since June 18-20. Blame Realmuto & Luzardo, who had a no-hitter going into the 5th, gives us 6 in the 5th after walking in two runs then serving up a grand slam FELL APART WHILE PITCHING FROM THE STRETCH AGAIN Thomson said they have to keep digging and working on what's wrong with Luzardo, specifically in the stretch Since June 11, opponents have hit .192/.252/.253 with 37 strikeouts and eight walks when there is no one on base against Luzardo. With runners on base, those numbers jump to .339/.443/.576, 16 strikeouts and 11 walks. (Gelb) Gelb says he went back to his old mechanics last night, but it still didn't work Jesus Luzardo says he is working day and night to fix his issues and he says they need to be fixed. He says teams are hitting him hard when he is pitching out of the stretch. He says it is not on JT Realmuto losing that foul ball pop-up. He says he and other Phillies lost it as well. Manager Rob Thomson says Jesus Luzardo lost his concentration. Phillies now 3-8 in Luzardo's last 11 starts They've now given Luzardo 3-0, 4-1 and 5-0 leads in July only to have him lose all 3 of them. He posted a 2.15 ERA in his first 11 starts. He allowed 20 runs in his next two. He made significant mechanical changes when pitching from the stretch, and it's resulted in only a 4.79 ERA over his last nine starts. UNLESS LUZARDO FIGURES THIS OUT, THEIR ENTIRE OFF-SEASON WILL HAVE BEEN A COMPLETE AND UTTER FAILURE The good news is this is a mechanical issue… which would indicate to me it CAN be fixed… but can they fix it in time? PITCH TIPPING: The Red Sox are renowned for doing this. Two pitches later, Story doubled home a run. THIS WAS NOT A STRONG ROB THOMSON GAME Luzardo should have been pulled after the second straight bases loaded walk, but got Jordan Romano up too late… after the game, Thomson admitted that was a mistake Pinch-ran Weston Wilson for Kyle Schwarber in the 10th after Schwarber's RBI single… Wilson, who is not fast… thrown out trying to steal 2nd to end the 10th With Wilson already used, Max Kepler had to face a lefty reliever and watched a called strike three to end the game in the 11th, instead of having Wilson available to pinch hit Rob Thomson on the 5th inning tonight: Said they have to keep digging and working on what's wrong with Luzardo, specifically in the stretch Harper's home run was the 350th of his career Bryce Harper tonight became the youngest of the 8 active players to reach 350 career home runs joining Giancarlo Stanton, Mike Trout, Paul Goldschmidt, Manny Machado, Freddie Freeman, Nolan Arenado, Aaron Judge. Kyle Schwarber's 34 HR are the 3rd-most through 102 games in Phillies franchise history, behind only Ryan Howard in 2006 and Mike Schmidt in 1979 -- both had 36. Cristopher Sanchez is a TRUE ACE: https://www.thegoodphight.com/2025/7/23/24472912/cristopher-sanchez-is-a-real-bona-fide-cy-young-contender WHEELER & SANCHEZ This gives the Phillies a leg-up in the postseason No one can match what the Phillies can do in the playoffs STARK ON SCHWARBER Says he believes Schwarber will be back here 4 years, $100 million is the number… how is he going to have a better deal four years AFTER the first free agent contract??? TRADE DEADLINE LATEST: Jayson Stark on 975 the Fanatic w/ Mikey Miss: Dombrowski wants to use his biggest chips to trade for a big time power bullpen arm controllable beyond this year, Duran, Bautista, no on Miller or Clase If he gets one, it's a right-handed platoon bat that falls into his lap Bullpen arm is more important than a bat Jeff Passan: The Phillies have quietly built up one of the best farm systems in baseball, and president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski's history of trading prospects for impact talent is unmatched. Still, with the Phillies entering a transition phase over the next few years, they aren't likely to sacrifice all of their depth. That complicates their tack at this deadline, because they are among the few teams with the need and capacity to acquire a pitcher of Clase's talent. Same goes for Cade Smith, another Guardian, and the Twins' two frontline relievers, Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax. Getting David Robertson for $6 million certainly helps matters and serves as insurance against objectionable demands on high-end relief pitchers. And yet adding Robertson plus a high-octane relief arm alongside Orion Kerkering and Matt Strahm gives the Phillies a representative back end. If they can also add a right-handed-hitting outfielder with power -- Adolis Garcia is in the mix, and Luis Robert Jr. would play, too -- it will be a successful deadline for a team whose starting pitching is good enough to carry it deep into October. Ruben Amaro & Jim Salisbury on Phillies Show Very interesting stuff on the show from Amaro (doesn't think they'll be able to get a lock down closer), Aiden Miller might be more untouchable than Painter, and the clubhouse talking about Eugenio Suarez (Salisbury). @JohnnyPhisher: Phillies need a RHH OF @Buster_ESPN: A surprise name has emerged in the starting pitcher market: Dylan Cease, who will be eligible for free agency at year's end. Perception of other teams is that the Padres are intent on making a push for the playoffs, and would use Cease to help fill other roster needs. Mets, AL East teams, Cubs among teams that have talked about him. COULD THE PHILLIES DO SOMETHING SIMILAR WITH RANGER SUAREZ OR JESUS LUZARDO? Jo Adell started slow, but on May 6 he hit a 9th inning HR in a blowout that got things going for him. Since then (67 gms) he has a .907 OPS (top 20 in MLB) with 19 HR (T-6th), and his .563 SLG is higher than any Phillies player. An interesting name: Dane Myers. Plays center field for the Marlins. The right-handed 29 year is wailing on lefties: .324/.385/.493, .878 OPS, 2 HRs, 13 RBIs in 78 PAs, 6 doubles. Would be a platoon guy. The Phillies and Padres are two of the many teams that have expressed interest in Steven Kwan, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post. Both National League contenders are known to be looking for a left field upgrade.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. ⚾ Lucas Giolito's form: 3 earned runs allowed over last 5 starts; 6+ innings in each

RUNDOWN   Music history in honor of Tommy Mottola's July 14 birthday—Mitch details how Mottola signed Hall & Oates and running through each of their six No. 1 hits. The “audio clip of the week” spotlights former Cubs manager Lee Elia's legendary profanity-laden tirade at Wrigley Field after a 5–14 start in 1983. Mitch and Hotshot celebrate Seattle's sweep of first-place Detroit and reviewing the Mariners' 51–45 first-half record, good enough for a wild-card spot if the season ended today. Mitch explains why he's optimistic—his rotation is poised to string together quality starts, and an offense buoyed by hot streaks from Randy Arozarena, strong on-base work from JP Crawford, and newfound production from lower-order hitters means the club doesn't need Cal Raleigh to carry the load alone. Mariners bounce back from a blown five-run lead and near no-hitter loss in New York to sweep the AL's best Tigers, cementing a wild-card spot at the All-Star break. Mariners No-Table (Brady Farkas) unpack the unexpected selection of LSU lefty Cade Anderson (saved under slot, with a high floor) as a near-MLB-ready arm, dissect Julio Rodríguez's decision to skip the ASG before homering in each Detroit game, and express outrage that Gino Suárez (31 HRs) wasn't invited to the Home Run Derby. Mitch and Puck chat KJRn'ts Chapter 8 by commiserating over their sudden need for reading glasses and sharing a wild family dare in which Mitch finally ate an entire bowl of mushrooms after his son aced the SAT. They then catch up on life—Jason's youth baseball woes, Mitch's freshman at Arizona—and take playful shots at Jim Moore's “top sports radio hosts” rankings. In this throwback to Ep. 197 (July 5, 2022), Mitch sits down with Rhonda Smith Banchero to revisit her own collegiate battles—most memorably guarding Cheryl Swoopes—and to explore how her “tough-love” coaching shaped Paolo's rise to the No. 1 NBA draft pick. Rhonda shares the moment she bowed out of one-on-one after seventh grade, her deliberate accountability style at home, and the family's bittersweet pride as Paolo chose Duke over UW. Now that he's secured a record-setting $239 million extension, her insights on nurturing a champion feel more poignant than ever. From the news that Michael Jordan's Highland Park estate is now an Airbnb (no parties allowed) to celebrity-boxing matchups, LeBron's Beverly Hills compound, Wimbledon winners, and even the exit of Pearl Jam's longtime drummer Matt Cameron, Mitch and Hotshot pack a whirlwind of sports and pop-culture headlines into one rapid-fire segment.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Jason Puckett | Sports Broadcaster & Co-Host of the Refuse to Lose Podcast Rhonda Smith Banchero | UW Women's Basketball Legend & Mother of Paolo Banchero   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Celebrating Tommy Mottola's Birthday by Tracing His Early Role in Launching Hall & Oates and Featuring Lee Elia's Infamous Cubs Rant 23:58 | Mariners Enter All-Star Break Thick in the Wild Card Hunt on the Back of Emerging Rotation and Depth-Built Offense 42:07 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table, Brady Farkas, Resilient Road Swing, College Ace Picked at No. 1, Julio's ASG Opt-Out & Gino's Derby Snub 1:07:30 | GUEST: Jason Puckett & Mitch on Presbyopia, Mushroom Dares and Getting Snubbed in the Top-10 Radio Hosts List 1:48:05 | GUEST: Rhonda Smith Banchero, Seattle's No. 1 Pick Paolo Banchero Lands $239 M Deal—Mom Rhonda Smith on Raising an NBA Star, Facing Cheryl Swoopes, and the Duke Decision 1:54:07 | Other Stuff Segment: Golf course fight involving NHL player Nick Tarnaski at Alberta Springs, Jeopardy-style home run question and Gino Suarez's All-Star Derby snub, Adrian Peterson celebrity boxing bout vs. Joe Castaneda, Cal Raleigh's special Home Run Derby bats (including Seattle Supersonics tribute), Airbnb listing for Michael Jordan's former Highland Park home, return of John Tesh's “Roundball Rock” NBA theme on NBC, John Elway cart accident clearance, LeBron James's Beverly Hills mansion construction update, Wimbledon champions Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner comebacks, Ben Shelton's match and Trinity Rodman misidentification, Auburn's DeAngelo Barber marijuana arrest and drug law commentary, speculation about Tom Brady's next girlfriend, Matt Cameron departing Pearl Jam after 27 years, Lorenzo Lamas filing for sixth divorce, Alan G.
