On this week's episode, we begin by randomly generating a 30-team bracket of every MLB team's best hitter-pitcher combo, and pick our winner of the best combo in baseball. From there, we discuss All-Star closer Alexis Diaz's trade to the Dodgers, compare the careers of future Hall of Fame first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and Freddie Freeman, introduce the Baines Meter to see which current players have a higher WAR than Hall of Famer Harold Baines, and discuss new homes for Chris Taylor, Kyle Gibson, and Orlando Arcia.

It's just Jane and Lauren again and we did a great job staying on topic because there was a ton of great baseball stuff to talk about. Dbacks have another weird game, this time giving up nine runs before recording an out. Jose Ferrer learning to play saxophone in the bullpen. Yankees/Dodgers. Paul Goldschmidt is having a great season. Twins/Mariners series is outrageous so far and Cal Raleigh is dumping dingers all over the place. MLB makes an investment in Athletes Unlimited. Then of course we had to talk about Pride Month and a terrible Pride article from Outsports. We unlocked our Pride Guide for 2025 on the main feed, but you should still go support the show at Patreon.com/BattingAround by signing up at the Slapdick Prospect tier.

Hour 1 The Knicks suffered a tough loss in Boston last night to the Celtics, who played well despite missing Jayson Tatum. The third quarter was particularly bad for the Knicks, with OG Anunoby singled out for a poor performance and Jalen Brunson getting into foul trouble. Coach Thibs noted the team's lack of toughness at times. Josh Hart was questioned about the team's energy. Radio hosts Evan Roberts and Tommy Lugauer attended the game, with Lugauer later criticizing Evan harshly in a video. The Mets lost to the Pirates, while the Yankees beat the Mariners behind a Judge home run. We also touched on the start of the PGA Championship and a viral video about a NJ firefighter who caught his wife cheating. Hour 2 The full NFL schedule is out, with the Giants facing a tough slate while the Jets open at home against the Steelers (potentially with Aaron Rodgers). Shedeur Sanders expressed interest in changing the Browns' culture, and the NFL is seen as heavily featuring the Chiefs again. The Knicks' loss in Boston was recapped with Shaq saying Jalen Brunson is better than Jaylen Brown. The Timberwolves beat the Warriors to win their series. The Mets were shut out, while in the Yankees game, Paul Goldschmidt hit a key homer without a "Hey Now" call. The Oilers advanced in the NHL playoffs.Other topics included BT's interest in animal interactions, the passing of the alligator from "Happy Gilmore," and Theo Von having an incident with a fan. Hour 3 The Knicks lost, but a glass-half-full outlook suggests they can win at home tomorrow. Individual player stats were poor, and Boomer noted the team's frequent falls. A caller challenged Jerry's earlier statement that the series was over. Jerry played audio of the Knicks' loss in Boston but predicts a Knicks blowout at home. The show featured audio of Tommy Lugauer criticizing Evan Roberts after the game and clips of Evan's commentary when the Knicks were ahead. The hour concluded with a call from the viral NJ firefighter. Hour 4 More discussion centered on the Knicks' loss to the Celtics, highlighting Boston's adjustments and reactions from players like Jalen Brunson and Coach Thibs, who cited disappointment with the performance. Knicks fan Timothee Chalamet was in attendance, and a caller criticized a video from Shaun Morash about the loss. Another caller suggested a spelling bee using BT's vocabulary. In other sports, the Timberwolves eliminated the Warriors. The Mets were shut out by the Pirates in a rainy game that featured a raccoon sighting. The "Moment of The Day" involved a hypothetical scenario about Eddie criticizing B&G on air. The final segment included a discussion about Rich Eisen, whom Gio called "the most boring talk show host in America."

It's time again to talk baseball with David Brown, and in this scintillating episode we discuss how the D'bags won the Paul Goldschmidt seven years after the fact! (Kind of.) Why math and common sense tells you that if the Cubs don't call Cade Horton up to make some Shōta replacement starts right now they might miss their window for the whole season. Is the Javier Baez rejuvenation a real thing? How do his current metrics stack up against his best year as a Cub? Could he recast the final years of his career as the greatest utility man of all-time? Are the Tigers actually really good? Let's make fun of a bunch of way too early Jim Bowden trade proposals and much more.

Max Fried dominated the Rays, Paul Goldschmidt hit a home run, and Terrence Kehm joins to discuss the current state of the Yankees. Nutrafol is offering our listeners $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you go to https://Nutrafol.com and enter the promo code FOUL.

The Cincinnati Reds face the St. Louis Cardinals in a split doubleheader today, April 30, 2025, at Great American Ball Park, rescheduled due to yesterday's rainout. Game 1 starts at 12:40 p.m. ET, with Game 2 at 6:40 p.m. ET. The Reds, riding a five-game winning streak, aim to capitalize on their momentum against a struggling Cardinals squad (12-17), who are desperate to avoid one of their worst 30-game starts in the Wild Card era. Game 1 Preview: Brady Singer (4-0, 3.62 ERA) takes the mound for the Reds against Miles Mikolas (0-2, 5.70 ERA). Singer, acquired in the offseason, has been a reliable arm, though Great American's hitter-friendly confines could test him. Mikolas, coming off a strong shutout against Atlanta, will look to keep the ball out of the middle of the plate. The Reds' lineup, led by Elly De La Cruz's superstar spark, should see Matt McLain's return after hamstring soreness. However, injuries to Austin Hays, Jeimer Candelario, and Tyler Stephenson may force reliance on call-ups like Chase Petty and Tyler Callihan. The Cardinals' offense, inconsistent this season, needs production from Paul Goldschmidt to counter Cincinnati's speed and power. Game 2 Preview: The Reds have not announced their starter, with Nick Martinez (0-2, 5.91 ERA) or a bullpen game as possibilities. St. Louis counters with Steven Matz (2-0, 1.80 ERA), whose early-season form makes him a tough matchup. The Reds' offense, bolstered by Noel Marte's recent two-run homer, must stay disciplined against Matz's command. De La Cruz, a dynamic force, and a hopefully healthy McLain will be key. The Cardinals, meanwhile, lean on their pitching to cool Cincinnati's hot streak, but their shaky bullpen could be a liability late. Key Factors: The Reds' aggressive baserunning, led by De La Cruz, could exploit St. Louis' defensive lapses. Cincinnati's bullpen, with Emilio Pagán's experience, needs to hold leads. For the Cardinals, generating early offense and avoiding high-leverage relief situations are critical. Weather should cooperate, with clear skies forecast. With Terry Francona's strategic edge and Cincinnati's young talent clicking, the Reds are favored to split or sweep, but St. Louis's desperation could make this a tight battle.

John Schneider, Manager of your Toronto Blue Jays, joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker live from Yankee Stadium. Skip shares an update on Daulton Varsho, Nick Sandlin and Erik Swanson as they work back from injury, before getting into where Varsho would likely slot into the lineup when he returns and what went wrong for his team in Houston. John also weighs in Anthony Santander's slow offensive start, Alejandro Kirk at the plate, Paul Goldschmidt's impact in the Bronx, how to contain Aaron Judge, the state of Kevin Gausman's splitter, and the idea of George Springer returning to the leadoff spot. After the break, former MLB pitcher and current YES analyst, Jeff Nelson (28:48), chats about Judge's incredible start to 2025, the early returns on the Yankees' off-season moves, and what to expect from Carlos Carrasco on the mound tonight. Jeff and Kevin wrap up the week with thoughts on how the Jays' bats can wake up this weekend and beyond.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

The Mets keep rolling, winning their seventh straight after a walk off hit by Marte. Edwin Diaz left with hip cramps, which we've never heard of. The Yankees won in Cleveland and Paul Goldschmidt had himself a 3-hit day and Judge had a triple. Game 3 has the Knicks in Detroit tonight and Thibs was asked about Karl-Anthony Towns' lack of performance in the fourth quarter. The Islanders have fired their radio broadcast team and it looks like they won't have one next season.

Hour 1 Boomer's back from the flu but not at full strength. The Mets had a great, well-attended weekend, pleasing Steve Cohen. The Knicks won game one against the Pistons but didn't impress, with Detroit already complaining about Jalen Brunson's foul drawing; the Knicks did have a 21-0 run. In baseball news, Max Fried lost a no-hitter due to a later-ruled error by Paul Goldschmidt, and an Aaron Judge HR was overturned, leading to Aaron Boone's ejection. The Mets swept the Cardinals in four games. Jerry's highlights included the Knicks' win and the Devils' game one loss to the Hurricanes. Finally, we discussed Aaron Rodgers' thoughts on the Jets meeting, a topic missed last week due to Boomer's absence. Hour 2 Phil Simms joined the show to preview the NFL draft, offering his perspective on Aaron Rodgers' final meeting with the Jets, suggesting Rodgers might be waiting to see the Vikings' QB situation in training camp. Phil also reflected on learning about the Giants moving on from him, while Boomer shared his awkward Jets exit. Jerry's update led with the Mets' four-game sweep of the Cardinals, highlighted by Francisco Lindor's two home runs. The passing of Gary Cohen's unusually long-lived Great Dane prompted Phil to discuss calling and feeding foxes. The Knicks won game one against the Pistons with a 21-0 run, and the Devils lost their game one to the Hurricanes. In the final segment, Phil discussed what the Giants should and might do with the third draft pick, also mentioning quarterbacks Sanders, Dart, and Shough. Hour 3 Phil Simms discussed NFL draft prospects, explaining why Shedeur Sanders' draft stock might fall due to NFL evaluations. A caller asked about Will Howard, whom Phil wasn't keen on. Jerry's update included Al's 64th birthday song for Boomer, and a mention of Phil's upcoming 70th. They reminisced about their 2007 draft show, where they goofed on JaMarcus Russell. Dave Sims' calls were featured for odd Yankees plays. The Mets' four-game sweep was highlighted, as was Mike Francesa's old "we have a pope" clip, coinciding with Pope Francis's passing. Thibs commented on the Knicks' game one win, and Justin Thomas's emotional RBC Heritage victory was noted. Phil and Boomer shared anecdotes of mentioning each other in speeches, and then they discussed the Jets signing Justin Fields. Hour 4 Phil Simms discussed the Jets' likely offensive lineman pick at number seven in the NFL draft, noting Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter as his top two players, suggesting Hunter as a WR. Boomer predicted a Kirk Cousins trade, with Phil speculating on his destination. Phil mentioned the Steelers' apparent focus on Aaron Rodgers and suggested the Giants need seven wins for Brian Daboll to stay. Jerry's final update covered the Yankees' controversial Aaron Judge home run call, the Mets' sweep of the Cardinals with Juan Soto's positive fan reception, and Francisco Lindor's observation of increased fan attendance. Boomer had a message for Devils fans as the Moment of the Day. In the last segment, Phil highlighted other notable draft prospects.

Max Fried was working on a no-hitter and Paul Goldschmidt had an error at first that was later ruled a hit (3 innings later). Aaron Judge hit a HR that was called not a HR and it ended up getting Aaron Boone tossed. The Mets swept the Cardinals in 4 games.

In Ep. 755 of B-Schaeff Daily, Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals losing 2-0 to the Houston Astros on Tuesday at Busch Stadium.-Hunter Brown was darn good for the Astros, and the Cardinal bats were unable to take advantage of their best chances, going 1-for-7 with RISP-Erick Fedde was good in his own right, giving up only one run to lower his season ERA to 3.43-Kyle Leahy is an intriguing piece that continues to attract attention in this bullpen-How will the Cardinals align their bullpen for Wednesday behind Steven Matz as the club expands to a six-man rotation on the fly?-He will learn it if he has not already, but Paul Goldschmidt is not doing your celebration, Aaron JudgeFollow this podcast feed for daily St. Louis Cardinals coverage all year long!

Fantasy Baseball Live – April 13, 2025 – 2:00 pmSegment 1 – Review of the weekend gamesAdditional Questions:1.Wilmer Flores hits his sixth home run yesterday. Is this anything more than a hot start?2.Paul Goldschmidt is off to a great start, or at least he's posted a great BA of .365 and hitting in a lot in the leadoff spot, has seven runs. Unfortunately, he's only hit one home run. Rebirth in New York or a 37-year-old in decline?3.JT Ginn pitched a gem on Saturday against the Mets. It's a power-sinker with a true outpitch, but I'm assuming he'll be on your waiver wire.4.It's been a long wait for Matt Mervis, but he hit his fourth home run on Saturday and is hitting .300 for the Marlins. There are players better than him in the minor leagues, but he's not giving up the ghost. Is he the first baseman for the Marlins all season long?5.Impressed with Trevor Story's start? .255/.340/.734, 2 HR, 6 SB, 8 runs, 10 RBIs?6.What stat line impresses you the most?a. (I'll go through some of the leaders in HR, SB, etc… to see who is off to the most impressive/surprising start of the season?7.Luis Ortiz was impressive on Saturday. 5.2 IP, 1 hit, 1 ER, 10K/2BBSegment 2 - Waiver WireSegment 3 – Closer ReportClose

We've got regular season baseball games to talk about, and we couldn't be happier about it. This week, Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz welcomes Paul Goldschmidt into the podcast studio, as the new first baseman talks about the lessons from his journey through the big leagues, his impressions of Aaron Judge, and the true meaning of a leadoff hitter. Then, Jon is joined by co-host Meredith Marakovits of the YES Network as she braves the frigid temperatures in Detroit to talk about stories from the road through the season's first two weeks. Finally, we kick it over to the (climate-controlled!) New York Yankees Museum presented by Bank of America, where senior museum curator Brian Richards opens the History Books to tell a story about another remarkable power surge in Yankees history.

They dive into their expectations for the Blue Jays in 2025, as well as the latest on Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s contract negotiations. Later, Emmanuel Berbari (28:05), Yankees broadcaster on WFAN, checks in from New York to share his read on the Bronx Bombers. He chats about the state of the roster with Gerrit Cole sidelined for the season, if the rest rotation can pick up the slack, and how the team can rebound from the loss of Juan Soto. Emmanuel also looks into Jazz Chisholm's importance, Oswaldo Cabrera's job security, the Yanks' bullpen arms to watch, Paul Goldschmidt's veteran presence, and more! The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Down from Fort Myers, its the final non-Red Sox preview of the AL East as Gordo, Sammy, and Pat dive into the New York Yankees outlook for the 2025 season. Does the Yankees' lineup intimidate or scare anyone now that Juan Soto is gone leaving Aaron Judge as the only power threat? Also, can Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt rediscover their prime years to help the lineup out? Then, the starting rotation could be ranked among the best, but not having Gerrit Cole or Luis Gil could knock them down the ranks. And, the bullpen may be the strongest asset from the Bronx Bombers, but that doesn't stop Gordo from making a wild win prediction.

What did we do to deserve this? In this Cards-heavy episode of the Team of Rivals Podcast, Ron, Elliott, and Pete are joined by special guests Holy Elle and Dan Buffa for a deep dive into the current state of St. Louis Cardinals baseball. The conversation kicks off with Ron expressing his frustrations about the team's stagnant offseason, drawing parallels to the dark days of the early '90s. The group debates the implications of the Cardinals' roster decisions, particularly focusing on the future of former stars like Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt. The discussion shifts as they analyze the potential impact of new players and the importance of allowing young talent like Mason Wynn and Jordan Walker to shine without being yanked back and forth between the majors and minors. The group shares their hopes and concerns about the upcoming season, exploring whether the team is truly committed to a rebuild or merely treading water. The conversation takes a humorous turn, with the group discussing about Jim Edmonds' recent interview and critique of his broadcasting style. We wrap up with "Ron's Soccer Minute," as he shares his excitement for the upcoming MLS season and City's home opener. Catch up with Elle at www.holyelle.com. Read Dan's latest at doseofbuffa.com.

The New York Yankees haven't been quiet this offseason in regard to putting together a roster that they feel can hopefully get them back to the World Series in 2025. The same can be said for Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner this past week when he made a little noise himself, notably making comments about how the Los Angeles Dodgers have spent this offseason.Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the noise that came from the Boss in the Bronx about how teams can't spend like the world champs currently are and if these comments have something to do with the upcoming CBA talks that will surely focus on free agency and the way teams spend. They also talk about Hal selling the 2025 team as better than the 2024 club and whether the Yankees can actually put faith in a bounce-back season from Paul Goldschmidt and DJ LeMahieu.Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys get into the incredible performance (and bat flip) by Junior Caminero from Game 7 of the LIDOM championship, including a feat that's almost unheard of and how much better he can possibly get. Jake and Jordan also talk about Ha-Seong Kim and Carlos Estévez signing deals, as well as make their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.(1:36) - The Opener: Hal Steinbrenner's comments(21:44) - Around the League: Ha-Seong Kim and Carlos Estévez sign(33:18) - Turbo Mode: Recapping other transactions(38:53) - Holy %^&*$#&%: Junior Caminero's Game 7 performance(52:08) - The Good(55:26) - The Bad(59:41) - The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

The 13th year of the Best Podcast in Baseball begins with a conversation about something new for the Cardinals and their fan base, something that hasn't been discussed around Busch Stadium in decades, and something some might argue was overdue. "For the first time in forever, (they're) trying to sell hope," says Post-Dispatch sports columnist Jeff Gordon. The first BPIB episode of 2025 welcomes Gordon, longtime author of Tipsheet at StlToday.com, as a regular contributor to the weekly baseball podcast and puts him right to work on cross-examination. Continuing what's become an annual feature on the podcast, host and baseball writer Derrick Goold reveals his ballot for the upcoming class of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Ichiro Suzuki is eligible for the first time and brings more than 3,000 hits in the majors and 4,200 hits as a professional to his bid to become the first unanimously selected position player.  Ichiro, five holdovers from last year's ballot, and four newcomers, all pitchers, appear on Goold's 10-full ballot. Gordon and Goold discuss the layup decisions and the other choices that forced a look at how the modern game uses starting pitchers and, thus, how voters should consider that when looking at this generation of starters for the Hall of Fame. After the Cooperstown conversation, the two Post-Dispatch staff writers discuss new year's resolution for the 2025 Cardinals, and that brings the discussion around to the team's messaging. How do they sell a fan base and tickets to that fan base without the stars that fan base is used to seeing, without the contending club the fan base is accustomed to the team promising? Gordon has some thoughts on who should deliver that message and soon. That brings the podcast around to its conclusion -- and a potential historic end for a Cardinals' continuity. For more than 100 years, the Cardinals have had an eventual Hall of Famer in uniform. From Roger Bresnahan to Stan Musial, Dizzy Dean to Bob Gibson, Lou Brock to Ozzie Gibson, and certainly through 2011 when Albert Pujols went west until returning in 2022. Carlos Beltran is currently on the ballot and is a candidate to extend that streak through 2012 and 2013, and Yadier Molina has a claim to take it all the way through 2022, when then Adam Wainwright, Paul Goldschmidt, and Nolan Arenado are potential Cooperstown inductees to keep it going. Wainwright is now retired. Goldschmidt is now a Yankee. And the Cardinals actively exploring trade talks for Arenado. If all three are gone, is that streak? The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.
