This week, a light-hearted tale of a pitcher who braved the injury nexus in a body that just refused to flinch when under hostile fire, preceded by the story of a favorite cartoonist who pontificated on the subject of children and divorce even as he proceeded to get divorced and abandon his children. And in between, unwelcome news of war. The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

Coach Tory and Coach Don preview and record Everything Fast Pitch episode 409 via Zoom, highlighting a listener-driven show and thanking supporters on patreon.com/everythingfastpitch. In the warmup “Did You Know,” they note three Division I undefeated teams at the time of recording—Tennessee, Florida, and Alabama—and discuss SEC strength and ongoing top-team dominance. The city of the week is Huntsville, Alabama, with mention of strong softball in the area, UAH's Division II success, and local universities. Player of the week is Bronwyn Conroy (College of Charleston), recognized as rookie of the week after a standout week including five runs, nine hits, three RBIs, and multiple stolen bases; they share Don's prior familiarity with her and invite more nominations via email. The equipment tip promotes Square Cuts training discs (FastPitchPrep.com), priced at $49.95 per dozen, with YouTube demos and varied uses beyond hitting. A listener question asks how transfers, extra eligibility, and NIL may shift Division I recruiting; they agree programs increasingly prioritize proven portal players while still pursuing elite high school recruits, and discuss pressure to win, scholarship changes, and financial strains on athletic departments. In the leadoff segment, they debate travel ball teams advertising “non-parent coaches,” arguing it doesn't guarantee fairness or quality and that many parent coaches are highly committed, while paid non-parent coaches can still have biases. In the cleanup segment, they address an 8U team rotating players every inning, supporting multi-position development but recommending more consistent innings/roles so players can learn from mistakes. The coaching tip focuses on helping players choose the right bat (length/weight), discouraging gimmicky sizing formulas and knee-jerk changes based on short-term results, and recommending the longest/heaviest bat a player can swing with good bat speed and control, while noting the cost and rapid outgrowing of expensive bats.Support the show

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we recap a handful of recent Dodgers transactions and take stock of roster battles with various players unavailable for opening day. Evan Phillips is back on a one-year deal, so is Kiké Hernández, though both are expected to be out until midseason after surgeries. Also, Max Muncy signed another extension that will keep him in Los Angeles through 2027 and maybe 2028, and Jack Suwinski was claimed off waivers.

A player who is remembered as “Jumbo” even though that was neither his name or his shape is described in both complimentary and critical terms, oysters are considered, and one of the greatest shortstops of all time, John Henry Lloyd, Pop, teaches an important lesson about why the past matters, and why his past was especially important.

A future Hall of Fame outfielder gets into a tiff with the first Hall of Fame umpire and the umpire says a rude word, but how rude was it? Then we briefly consider the worst 900-plus games careers before joining the 1935 season in progress for a fight at home plate that fizzled, but not before inspiring a New York Times writer to construct an especially inept metaphor involving the game and dire world events.

A rare three-segment episode this week. First, in what is very much NOT a story, the host quotes Casey Stengel in a totally context-free way. Then a pitcher has to work hard to keep a team he doesn't like IN the World Series or risk professional extinction. Finally, a personal reflection on the way we live now, based very much on a real-life example of lightning striking twice in a truly malicious way. The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today.

Siamo all'ultimo Inning per Babe Ruth, il tramonto dell'eroe, dell'Ercole Americano. Tutto ciò che sale, prima o poi scende e il Bambino ha chiesto troppo al suo fisico, anni di esagerazioni lo hanno minato e all'ultimo, il mondo del baseball gli volta le spalle perché Babe Ruth ha dimostrato che non ci si può fidare di lui. Ma ormai è entrato nella leggenda e il suo nome riecheggia ancora oggi, a metà tra il mito e la persona scomoda. ------ IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/vitescomode.podcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Supporta i nostri podcast su Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/crimeandcomedy⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

An episode in which yesterday's headlines are today's. First, we find not William Bell the Negro Leagues great, but William Bell the victim of a false accusation in 1920s Chicago, the only murder of its kind. Then we travel south to the apprenticeship of one of the low-key center field greats and the epidemic that stopped his career in its tracks.Trigger Warning: There are a couple of rude words at the very end of the episode because the hots became exercised.

Join your hosts, Greg Mazzo and Logan Stewart, alongside Sam Prince, for the first 10th Inning episode of the Spring 2026 semester. The three discuss some of the most recent free agent signings and trades, as well as recent activity with the Hall of Fame. Tune in!

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers continued to swim in the deep end of the free agent pool, signing Kyle Tucker for a staggering $240 million over four years. Tucker, who turned 29 on Saturday, was considered the top free agent on the market, and he stabilizes a Dodgers outfield that struggled to produce in 2025, especially in the corners. He joins Andy Pages as the only Dodgers regular position players younger than 30 years old. Tucker has two opt-outs in the deal, but not until 2027, meaning the Dodgers lineup (and starting rotation) are nearly completely all signed for at least the next two seasons (except for third baseman Max Muncy, who is a free agent after the season). The cost is exorbitant, but the Dodgers have been comfortably in that space now for multiple years running. Efficiency isn't necessarily the goal of each deal, as the Dodgers in signing both Tucker and closer Edwin Díaz opted for the easiest route, signing the best player available because they had the financial wherewithal to do so.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers settled all salary arbitration cases and added some infield depth to the 40-man roster. Andy Ibáñez signed a one-year deal and figures to see time at second and third base, adding some insurance with Tommy Edman coming off ankle surgery and Max Muncy playing only 173 total games over the last two seasons.  Four players eligible for arbitration signed one-year deals with the Dodgers before Thursday's salary exchange date. Brusdar Graterol signed for $2.8 million after missing all of the 2025 season rehabbing from shoulder surgery, left-hander Anthony Banda signed for $1.625 million, outfielder Alex Call signed for $1.6 million, and right-hander Brock Stewart signed for $1.3 million. The Dodgers also claimed utility man Ryan Fitzgerald off waivers from the Twins. We look at the position-player side of the 40-man roster and what might be left this offseason.

A wide-ranging journey inspired by the impulse-control problems of a 1950s catcher that provked,  depending on Billy Martin's mood, two, no three, no four on-field fights, with pints of blood flowing onto the infield dirt. Some of it is true, some of it is better. Also, said catcher gets up close and personal with parts of Whitey Ford's anatomy you've never before considered, and the host provides a few thoughts on current events.   The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine.

In this week's new discussion, the story of a Yankees prospect who might have made it if not for a certain United Nations police action overseas. Then we return to 2017 for a look back at one of the show's earliest episodes and what was happening in the game on the days the United States went to war. Gee, I wonder what brough that one to mind?

My husband Jarred and I were walking into a funeral one day this fall, and he said, "I feel like this is the fourth inning."  "What do you mean?" I asked. He said, "I feel like it's the middle of a baseball game and there's a lot of game left and you just want to know if it's going to be OK. If we are going to win?" I have thought about this often. We are all playing a metaphorical baseball game of life, and we are in the middle of the fourth inning, wondering what the outcome will be. This year, as I reflected on our family life, the ups and downs. The joys and disappointments. The mundane and the exciting, I am reminded how we're all in the middle of our fourth inning. Will we win? Will be ahead? What will go on between the fourth and the ninth? Listen to today's podcast where I give a little year-end summary of our family, and we talk about how we can be sure that we will win! We will all be OK thanks to our Savior, Jesus Christ!

Infinite Inning 357 Angels Up the Where? and Baseball True Love In a holiday mini-episode we talk about secular vs. religious holidays in America, the films of Powell and Pressburger, and the faith-based baseball comedy (in which it's the nuns who object most strongly to seeing a manifestation of the divine) “Angels in the Outfield” (1951).

A long-promised Casey Stengel episode asks why the press reacted badly when the Ol' Perfesser was named Yankees manager in the fall of 1948, and what it had to do with three busted Braves prospects.

In this week's new commentary, we wonder how major league strikeout leader James Wood can reduce his strikeouts by 600 percent in 2026. Then we return to early 2008 for a look at some deleterious, franchise-damaging or -destroying decisions, including a regrettable early mistake in free agency and Connie Mack's decision to run his team like it was the 1910s even though almost 40 years had passed.

We are excited to welcome Mo'ne Davis on the 10th Inning Talk podcast. All About April was joined by Cheats for this exclusive chat with Mo'ne Davis. Davis, 24, was drafted 10th overall in last week's inaugural Women's Professional Baseball League draft by the Los Angeles team. The conversation is diverse and encompasses a wide range of topics. In the WPBL, Davis will attempt to change positions once again. She gained national fame from her pitching days in the Little League World Series. She changed to middle infield, playing for the Hampton University Pirates softball team, and now she will take on the outfield for her LA squad. Davis joined us from her home in the Jersey area, but is excited and motivated to join the WPBL in Springfield, Illinois, in 2026.
