Zero Yelling, Zero Over-Use: The Kid-First BlueprintIn this milestone show, host Deven Morgan marks “the world's most dangerous youth-baseball podcast” hitting triple digits and quickly pivots from fanfare to substance. After housekeeping items he lays out Driveline Academy's “no yelling, no over-use” coaching culture, explaining how a pro-level development system is adapted to keep kids both competitive and safe. Listener stories drive the episode: a tournament director who swapped innings limits for Pitch Smart counts, a 10-year-old smashing his first over-the-fence homer, and New Zealand's nationwide adoption of pitch-count rules. Deven also tackles a salty YouTube comment, then highlights an ESPN story showing how Fortnite sharpened rookie Jacob Wilson's in-game decision making, using it to argue for more “random practice” and creativity (cue the viral bat-wielding-dog clip). The show closes on a personal note: lessons from Deven's mother, an ER nurse who chose the hardest path “because it was in my heart,” reminding coaches and players alike to align actions with aspirations.

Devin and Steve are back with Episode 91 with a thoughtful look at a week of meaningful developments around the league, starting with the official reveal of the 2025 MLB All-Star Game starters. From Francisco Lindor's return to form to rookie Jacob Wilson earning a surprise fan-vote nod, we explore what this year's selections say about the state of the game and where it's headed. In Miami, the Marlins are playing their best baseball of the season, stringing together wins and disrupting the National League picture. We take a closer look at what's working and whether their recent surge signals a deeper turnaround. Meanwhile in Houston, the Astros are dealing with significant injuries to both Yordan Alvarez and Jeremy Peña. As the lineup thins out, we ask how much strain their depth can withstand and whether their grip on the AL West is starting to loosen. Also in this episode: Clayton Kershaw approaches 3,000 strikeouts, a quiet milestone that underscores one of the most consistent careers of his generation Kevin Pillar retires and offers candid reflections on team culture and longevity in the game Tarik Skubal continues to pitch at a Cy Young level, showing once again that his success is built on steady, sustained excellence A new round of “Who Says No?”, featuring trade proposals that reflect real needs — and real risk Our weekend watchlist, including the Subway Series and other games that could impact the postseason picture Finally, we take a moment to acknowledge the passing of Dave Parker, reflecting on his playing career, his role in baseball history, and what he meant to the city of Pittsburgh and beyond.
9.18 notes the current MLB standings (0:41), peeks at the TGFBI standings (4:58), performs a stat deep dive on strikeouts (6:34), reviews Jacob Wilson (18:38), and reviews Jacob Lopez (25:10).
Jorge Castillo and Buster discuss how Tarik Skubal impacts the Tigers' pitching staff when he's not on the mound, Jacob Misiorowski vs. Paul Skenes and how young starting pitchers are arriving faster, and the Home Run Derby field starting to take shape. Then, A's shortstop Jacob Wilson talks about which players he's heard from as he ascends in the All-Star voting, his swing, which swings he admires, his dad, and the toughest pitchers he's faced.

With less than three weeks to go until the 2025 MLB All-Star Game festivities take place in Atlanta, it's time to start thinking about who might try to steal the show during the Home Run Derby.

Send us a textWhat happens when anger transforms into acceptance? When betrayal leads to forgiveness? When rage opens the door to healing? This powerful episode brings together three extraordinary individuals who've walked through fire and emerged with wisdom that could change your life.Bruce Cardenas, a former Marine who built a billion-dollar nutrition brand, shares the gut-wrenching story of business betrayal that would have broken many. Instead of seeking vengeance, he chose forgiveness—a choice informed by asking forgiveness from his own brother and watching his son battle alcoholism. His revelation that "life is extremely short" offers a perspective that makes holding grudges seem like precious time wasted.Military veteran Amy takes us through her decade-long battle with anger after returning from Afghanistan. When conventional treatments failed, she found breakthrough in ancient plant medicines that allowed her to physically release trauma stored in her body. Her simple yet profound tools for healing—breath work, journaling, and gratitude practice—cost nothing but offer everything.Actor and former metal band frontman Jacob Wilson courageously reveals his journey from self-hatred to self-acceptance as a gay man in environments that rejected his identity. Now working in Hollywood, he demonstrates how leading with love and authenticity creates genuine connections in an industry known for toxicity and transactional relationships.The thread connecting these diverse stories? Understanding that beneath anger lies pain—often the pain of a wounded inner child "screaming for help." This perspective shift transforms how we view not just our own anger, but the anger we encounter in others.Whether you're carrying resentment, battling addiction, healing from trauma, or simply seeking more meaningful connections, these stories remind us that the path forward always involves the choice to default to love. Ready to make that choice in your own life? This episode gives you both the inspiration and practical tools to begin.To connect more with Dr. Harte, book a FREE discovery call!https://calendly.com/drharte/free-discovery-call-w-dr-harteSupport the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney#personalgrowth#personaldevelopment#sobermovement#recoveroutloud#sobercurious#sobermoms#soberwomen#author#soberauthor#purpose#passion#perspective

Then, Athletics TV play-by-play voice Jenny Cavnar (31:51) stops by to discuss how the team has adjusted to playing in a smaller ballpark in Sacramento, how players like Luis Severino will compare results on the mound from a big league ballpark vs. where they play, why Jacob Wilson is the most interesting player in the league, and Lawrence Butler's confidence in his at-bats.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.

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg talk about players receiving threats, the Rockies ineptitude and other betting stories around Major League Baseball. In this episode of "The Inside Pitch" recorded on May 12, Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers discuss the controversy surrounding Lance McCullers Jr., his disastrous return, and the broader implications of gambling culture in MLB. McCullers, in his second start after a two-year injury hiatus, surrendered seven runs in a 10-run first inning against the Reds, registering just one out, giving up three hits, three walks, and one home run. Post-game, McCullers and his family received death threats, which Towers attributed to the toxic intersection of sports betting and fan entitlement. Towers emphasized that no athlete intentionally underperforms and that threatening players over wagers is unacceptable. Seidenberg concurred, adding that the accessibility of players via social media exacerbates the issue. McCullers expressed frustration, noting he only wants to perform for the Astros while ensuring his family's safety. Shifting focus to live betting strategies, Seidenberg recounted betting the Astros team total over 3.5 runs during the blowout, leveraging the assumption that weak bullpen arms would enter early. Towers supported this approach, explaining that such scenarios often lead to high-scoring games due to less effective relievers being used and pitchers potentially experimenting with pitches under low-pressure conditions. They dissected Brady Singer's outing, noting he stuck to his sinker-slider mix, throwing 30 sinkers, 15 sliders, and four cutters, struggling post the 45-minute delay. The discussion broadened to emphasize that blowouts offer learning opportunities for pitchers, enabling them to test pitches in-game situations they'd avoid in tighter contests. Attention turned to the Rockies' collapse, particularly their 21-0 loss to the Padres, followed by Bud Black's firing. Towers criticized the Rockies' misuse of pitchers, particularly exposing young arms like Blaylock to overwhelming situations, likely contributing to organizational dysfunction. Betting-wise, the Rockies were highlighted as historically profitable to fade, with 30 of their 33 losses by multiple runs and a 5-29 record in first-five innings. Seidenberg recommended automatic daily run line fades against the Rockies. Broader betting trends were analyzed, including the Mets' 29-12 first-five innings under record and the Royals' similar 30-12 mark. The Mariners surprisingly leaned to the over. The conversation shifted to player performance futures. Kyle Schwarber's 46-game on-base streak, 14 home runs, and .404 OBP were celebrated, with Seidenberg suggesting profitable betting strategies targeting Schwarber to reach base safely in his first plate appearance using various app markets. Josh Towers and Seidenberg also agreed that Freddie Freeman's .367 average and league-best OPS made him undervalued at +1100 for the NL MVP, criticizing how consistently elite players are often overlooked in futures markets. In Cy Young discussions, Wheeler was favored in the NL at +700 due to his 58 innings, 2.95 ERA, and 0.91 WHIP, while Skubal and Eovaldi were highlighted in the AL. Hunter Brown was noted as a legitimate contender, given his cleaned-up mechanics and plus stuff. The Rookie of the Year race saw Jacob Wilson as AL favorite, while Luis Angel Acuna led the NL despite modest power numbers, with Towers skeptical of his long-term viability. They concluded by discussing rookie dark horses and emphasized the difficulty pitchers face sustaining excellence across a full season, all while promoting Pregame.com's latest offers.
