Twitter baseball personality Not Gaetti joins Jim to break down the HOF candidacy of former MLB first baseman Will Clark. First, they cover how Clark had no real weaknesses on a baseball diamond and how he would have been able to perform in any era in baseball history (6:30). Next, they discuss Clark's masterful perormance in the 1989 NLCS against the Chicago Cubs, how his career numbers easily trump Kirby Puckett, and how Clark compares against other Hall of Fame hopefuls who manned 1st base like Paul Goldschmidt and Joey Votto (18:02). Finally, they dig into just how clutch Clark actually was (56:22), before making a final call on whether or not they believe Clark deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (1:06:20).

Kevin Gergel played at Georgia Tech, became an All-American catcher at Kennesaw State, was drafted by the Seattle Mariners — and saw his pro career end almost before it really began. So when his son Kellan was four years old and starting T-ball, Kevin and his wife Teal created their philosophy that has shaped every decision they've made around travel baseball ever since:  The goal was not to raise the best 8-year-old on the field. The goal was to raise the best 18-year-old. That philosophy changed how they approached travel baseball, development, exposure, pressure, failure, and the parent-player relationship. In this episode, Matt Hannaford sits down with Kevin and Kellan Gergel for a real conversation about what most baseball families are missing: the long game. Because exposure is not the goal. Exposure is the byproduct of becoming the kind of player worth watching.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN - The philosophy Kevin and Teal built their decisions around — and why it reshaped everything they did from T-ball through high school - Why Matt argues that exposure is a byproduct, not a goal — and how most travel ball parents are getting things backwards  - The moment Kevin realized that trying to fix his son's batting stance was the wrong approach - 90% of players say the mental game is the most important part of baseball — but how much of their time spent training actually reflects that - Austin Riley's 2019: didn't make the Big League team out of spring training, but despite that, hit 15 home runs in three weeks in AAA, called up, hit 9 more in his first 18 big league games and then hit a wall forcing him to make an adjustment   Kellan is 15, stands six-foot-one, and plays for the East Cobb Mariners — one of the most talent-dense travel areas in the country. His coach Kenny Falk played at Kennesaw State with Kevin, got drafted by the Tigers as a AAA closer, and runs the program on a development-first, blue-collar philosophy. Kellan wants to play college baseball. His current goals are velocity on the mound, driving the ball harder at the plate, and working his way from JV to varsity at Blessed Trinity in Roswell — the same program where Joseph Contreras, the senior who pitched for Team Brazil at the WBC and got Aaron Judge to ground into a broken-bat double play, throws bullpens next to him.  Matt walks Kellan through the mental exercise he ran at an event in San Diego with high performance coach Johan Martinez Khalilian — asking a parent of a player to name a complaint, then tracing the complaint back to the underlying vision. Kellan deflects it in a way that tells Matt everything he needs to know: this kid already has the frame most pro athletes spend years trying to build. Matt learns of Kevin's nightly ritual when Kellan was young — telling him "you have what it takes, you have what it takes" — and the parallel humble huddle the family built around it.  The conversation also touches on an unusual family lineage. Kellan's mother Teal is the daughter of Dusty Rhodes and the sister of Cody Rhodes, the current WWE Undisputed Champion. Kevin walks through what his brother-in-law's "undesirable to undeniable" mindset has meant for how Kellan thinks about betting on himself — and why the family's grounding in faith, family, and work has held up across three very different sports at three very different levels.  Matt closes with a rapid-fire round. When he asks Kevin to finish the sentence "my biggest fear for him on the baseball field is..." Kevin's answer is the line that frames the whole episode: my biggest fear is that he'll feel like he has to perform. I've already had more joy watching him play than I will ever need.   ABOUT MATT HANNAFORD Matt Hannaford is the president and CEO of Aligned Sports Agency and the host of the Most Valuable Agent podcast.

Almost every pro baseball player Matt Hannaford represents has the same wound — and it traces back to their relationship with their dad. In this live event, MLB agent Matt Hannaford and high performance coach Jo Martinez Killian sit down with parents and young athletes to walk through the pattern Joe has seen in nearly every major league locker room he's ever worked in, and what actually breaks the cycle before it starts. Subscribe to the channel for the insider playbook on what pro scouts, agents, and performance coaches actually see in elite players — and what most parents get wrong long before the draft conversation ever happens.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN - Why Norway produces more elite athletes per capita than any country in the world — and the sports rules they enforce before age 13 - The three-word reframe that took one of Matt's clients from AA to a home run on his first major league pitch - How to turn a complaint into a vision you both agree on — the exact script - The difference between expectations and agreements, and why expectations are a pathway to resentment - Why "I don't wanna see my kid struggle" is the instinct that steals the one thing they actually need from you   Matt reads a letter from the father of a division one SEC pitcher with a zero ERA who is draft-eligible — a letter that made Matt call Joe the same day and say we have to do this live. The dad writes that his son, at 20, told him flat out he cannot relax around him anymore because every conversation turns into criticism. The dad's response is the line that frames the entire episode: there are times I wish he would just step away from baseball so he can feel how much I love him and how it has nothing to do with performance. Jo breaks down the framework he uses with pro athletes across MLB, NBA, NHL, and NCAA locker rooms. Where there is no vision, the people perish — but most parents are leading from complaints instead of vision, and from expectations instead of agreements. He walks through the four-step move that turns an expectation like "I expect you to respect me" into an agreement both parent and kid actually own. He names the fawning pattern coaches see in kids who have learned to pacify the adult in front of them instead of saying what they actually want. Matt shares the moment Jo called him out on a client call — Matt jumped in to answer a question Jo was still working through with the player, and Jo told him afterward: you stole his growth. The question was his weight to lift. That single exchange is the frame for the entire conversation with youth athletes and their parents. The instinct to take struggle away from your kid is the instinct that leaves them unable to carry anything hard later. Struggle is the gift. The discomfort is where the identity gets built.   TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — The Letter From a Division One Dad 6:30 — Norway's Sports Rules Before Age 13 7:50 — His Dream Not Mine: Jo's Soccer Story 26:59 — Why Success Is Also Poison 37:59 — You Stole His Growth: The Struggle Is the Gift 40:38 — Complaints Are Vision in Disguise 1:02:42 — Expectations Lead to Resentment 59:15 — The Three-Word Vision That Got Zach Cole Called Up 1:19:31 — Disempowered vs. Empowered Language 1:30:51 — Baseball Does Not Make a Good God   ABOUT MATT HANNAFORD Matt Hannaford is the president and CEO of Aligned Sports Agency and the host of the Most Valuable Agent podcast.

NFL Week 4 chaos is here

Jeff Kent vs Joey Votto...who should be in the hall of fame?

Jeff Kent vs Joey Votto...who should be in the hall of fame?

Jim is joined by friend of the pod Mike Cleary to discuss the hall of fame candidacy of former Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo. First, Jim and Mike cover the Chicago Cubs dominance from 2015-2018 and whether winning just one World Series was disappointing in retrospect (15:05). Then, they discuss Rizzo's elite defense at first base, take a deep dive into the 2016 World Series, and debate whether the Cubs should retire Rizzo's jersey (22:02). Finally, they compare Rizzo through age 26 with the likes of Freddie Freeman, Joey Votto, and Paul Goldschmidt (1:06:15), before making a final call on whether or not Rizzo belongs in the HOF (1:12:46).

Hour 1 The Knicks lost their season opener in a boring game against the Celtics. Gio is not going to overreact as the NBA season is long. It also seemed boring because we've been through some intense baseball playoff games recently so this felt like nothing. Boomer said the NBA needs to take away the 3-point shot because it makes the game boring and flat. Gio doesn't care about the Knicks game. Boomer said we're a sports talk station. Jerry is here for his first update but first we have audio of Morash saying Evan was out yesterday for going to Mets games and recording Rico Brogna podcasts. We never got to Jerry's update as we were deciding whether Evan got sick from going to Mets games and recording late night podcasts. Jerry returns for the final segment of the hour to do his update and he starts with the sounds of the Knicks losing in Boston. Aaron Rodgers was on with Pat McAfee and was asked about picking his nose and eating it on the sideline. Jerry Jones returned to Dallas radio and can't believe how often he's been asked about Derrick Henry. He called it a ‘get in your ass type of question'. Nestor Cortes would sacrifice an injury that will keep him out all next season if he can pitch in and win a World Series this year. Hour 2 The Chiefs are trading for WR DeAndre Hopkins. Boomer expects more moves to be made in the NFL before the deadline. Teams that are ‘cooked' are going to start trading guys. This got us talking about the Jets firing Rob Saleh. Boomer said not one player has said a bad thing about the guy. The Jets did not get any type of bump since making that move and the defense actually got worse. Boomer said if the Jets are 5-6 or better at the bye, they can still make the playoffs. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of Kevin Harlan as the Knicks lost in Boston. Aaron Rodgers said he needs to be a better example when it comes to energy. Rex Ryan was on the Pivot Podcast and talked about his love of feet. Aaron Judge is fired up for the start of the World Series. Boomer is not a Yankees fan, but he is a fan of Aaron Judge. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about some crazy NBA player parlay. Hour 3 Phil Simms joins us in his Wednesday spot. We talked about the Giants/Eagles game that Boomer, Phil, Jerry and Gio did on Sunday. We also talked about Russell Wilson's performance against the Jets. Phil said he would be surprised if the Jets could pull off winning 4 in a row before the bye week. If they lose to the Patriots, ‘it's over'. Phil is also loving Bill Belichick in the media as he makes really great points all the time. Jerry returns for an update and has audio from Aaron Rodgers talking about having fun and turning the energy around. The Knicks lost to the Celtics in their season opener. Aaron Judge is excited to play at Dodger stadium. In the final segment of the hour, Fernando Valenzuela passed away and the Dodgers will most likely have a patch on their jersey to honor him. We talked about which players are ‘patch worthy'. Hour 4 The World Series begins on Friday and Gerrit Cole and the rest of the stars need to show up. Boomer thinks this is going to be an offensive series with a lot of home runs hit. On paper this should be a phenomenal series. A woman named Annie called to let us know Boomer's sports minutes are no longer on the stream. Boomer is not happy about this. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Knicks losing in Boston thanks to a ton of threes. Shaq already said, ‘The Knicks are done'. LeBron and Bronny were on the court at the same time last night. Joey Votto talked about the difference between baseball fans in New York vs L.A. The Moment of The Day:We introduce Phil Simms with a nasty audio drop by Eddie. In the final segment of the show, Boomer wonders if the radio station has Legend Seats for him and Gio.
