Podcast appearances and mentions of jonah heim

Happy Monday, Daylight Burners. I spent Father's Day doing exactly what I wanted to do: watching baseball and yelling at my kids, and the baseball gods gave us a stupid amount of chaos to talk about. I kick things off with my A's splitting a four-gamer with the Angels in West Sac – Friday night was pure insanity. The A's go up early, the Angels rip off 11 straight, Oakland claws back with bombs from Jacob Wilson and Max Muncy, Jonah Heim ties it with a pinch‑hit two‑run shot down to the last strike, and Big Amish walks it off with a bases‑loaded walk after wearing the golden sombrero all night. Then reality hits: a hangover shutout on Saturday and the bullpen coughing it up Sunday with a late Guzmán three‑run shot and yet another Zach Neto dagger to drop the finale 9–7. From there I roll through the Rockies stealing a legit series from the Pirates – including outdueling Paul Skenes 2–1 at Coors, with Tomoyuki Sugano and Jaden Hill slamming the door and Kyle Freeland hitting 1,000 career strikeouts. I give Freeland a big hat tip as a Denver kid who came all the way up through the Rockies system. We talk about the Tigers absolutely needing a weekend like this and getting it: they sweep the White Sox in Detroit behind Tarik Skubal's second start back from elbow surgery, back‑to‑back “ding dongs” from Dylan Dingler (17th and 18th of the year), and Matt Vierling walking it off in extras. I've been hyping Kaider Montero for a while and he shoves seven innings in that series. Around the league I hit all the big series: Cubs hang 16 on the Blue Jays with Carson Kelly's grand slam and Ben Brown shoving, then Toronto claws back the next day. Reds roll into the Bronx and actually take a series off the Yankees behind Cam Schlittler's 13‑K gem and Chase Burns' eighth straight win, only giving up a solo shot to Ben Rice (his 22nd of the year). Rays edge the Nationals, Marlins quietly sweep the Giants in Miami, and the Brewers avoid a sweep in Atlanta with a William Contreras four‑hit day and Robert Gasser's first win since May 2024. Rangers take a wild set from the Padres, with Wyatt Langford hitting a moonshot into the third deck and Nathan Eovaldi grinding out a win. Astros beat back Cleveland behind Yordan Alvarez's 25th homer, and I'm cashing in on him on my Spinball lineup. Royals and Cardinals trade blows on I‑70 with JJ Wetherholt going deep twice in a 12–10 St. Louis win. Twins absolutely bury the Diamondbacks 16–8 with a 10‑run fifth, 20 hits, then come back Sunday to take the series behind Josh Bell's pinch‑hit RBI and a late rally. Red Sox roll into Seattle, win the series, and force the Mariners to lean on a big Logan Gilbert outing to avoid the sweep. Orioles stroll into Dodger Stadium, beat Yamamoto behind seven scoreless from Trevor Rogers, then beat the brakes off L.A. 12–1 on Father's Day with bombs from Taylor Ward, Colton Cowser, Pete Alonso and Blaze Alexander. Phillies absolutely destroy the Mets: Kyle Schwarber hits three homers on Saturday, adds another on Sunday, and Bryce Harper hits for the first cycle of his career while Christopher Sánchez and Zack Wheeler shove. I close it out with a lap around the standings: Yankees still leading the AL East but wobbling, Cleveland back on top of the Central, Mariners barely clinging to a game‑and‑a‑half lead over my A's in a West where everybody's around .500, Braves still on top of the NL East but feeling the Phillies breathing down their necks, Brewers holding serve in the Central, and the Dodgers doing Dodgers things despite dropping a series to Baltimore. Then I look ahead to tonight's slate: Garrett Cole vs Framber Valdez, Hunter Brown vs Dylan Cease, a Japanese‑on‑Japanese matchup with Shota Imanaga vs Kodai Senga, a big Brewers–Reds set in Cincy, Dodgers at Twins in what might be an “over” special, Guardians–White Sox for the AL Central lead, and more. A's are off today before heading into San Francisco for a huge three‑game set with Aaron Civale vs Robbie Ray in Game 1, and I lay out why Oakland needs at least two wins there before they see the Angels again. Hope all you dads had a good Father's Day. I know I did. Don't let your butt crack show, and move your ass – we're Burnin' Daylight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Happy Friday, Daylight Burners. Jake is out today, so I'm rolling solo through a lighter MLB slate that still gave us plenty to talk about. I've got to start with the A's, because that one hurt. JT Ginn gave Oakland six innings, two hits, one run, and eight punchouts. That is exactly the kind of start you want. The offense did its job too. Shea Langeliers hit an inside-the-park homer and another shot, Tyler Soderstrom went deep, Jonah Heim joined in, and the A's put six runs on Shota Imanaga. That should have been enough. It was not. The bullpen gave up six, the Cubs walked it off 7-6, and Wrigley got to celebrate snapping an eight-game home losing streak. The A's still took two out of three in Chicago, but that was one they had in their pocket. I also get into Zach Wheeler keeping it rolling for the Phillies, Baltimore roughing up Boston, the Yankees edging Cleveland, the Giants and Brewers putting up a football score, Toronto avoiding the sweep in Atlanta, Kansas City's offense showing signs of life, Pittsburgh beating Houston, and Ketel Marte walking off the Dodgers in Arizona. Then I look ahead to the weekend series that matter: A's-Astros, Mariners-Tigers, Pirates-Braves, Guardians-Rangers, Reds-Cardinals, Brewers-Rockies at Coors, and the Battle of L.A. The A's are still hanging around the AL West and wild card picture. The Cubs still look like June swoon candidates to me. The Braves and Dodgers keep looking like monsters. And the NL Central is still the division I'm watching closest. Now move your ass. We're burning daylight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Daylight Burners — Matt and Jake are back to wrap up another week of baseball. Livestream gremlins be damned, we recorded it anyway. What's in this one: - Tough week for Tigers, Rockies, and A's fans (but we survived) - The White Sox are 24-22 and chasing the Guardians — is this real life? - Murakami and Schwarber going nuclear (Schwarber more HRs than half the league since May 7) - Friday/Saturday/Sunday game-by-game recap across the league - Wheeler vintage, Valdez dealing, Schlittler keeps shoving - Nick Kurtz pushes his on-base streak to 40 games (chasing Rickey) - A's transaction tornado: Jonah Heim in, Austin Wynns out, Junior Perez to the ChiSox, Jose Suarez (woof), Alika Williams up — and why Carlos Cortez might be the next to go - Tigers injury report: Mize back, Torres rehab in Triple-A, Báez running, Skubal throwing - Standings pulse: AL East two-horse race, AL Central scrum, NL East Braves + Phillies, NL West A's cling to first - Week ahead: Brewers/Cubs, Tigers/Guardians, Reds/Phillies, and the Padres/Dodgers heavyweight bout - HR + OPS leaders New episodes every Tuesday.

92.9 The Game Atlanta Braves Insider and From The Diamond Host Grant McAuley talks about if Austin Riley is starting to come out of his slump, what changes for Drake Baldwin with Sean Murphy out again for an extended time, if re-acquiring Jonah Heim is an option, the variety of roles that Mauricio Dubon can play, why the team keeps getting picked off, when we might see the return of Ronald Acuna, and what Bobby Cox meant to him.

Well, welcome back, daylight burners. How the hell are ya? Spent yesterday arguing with AI chatbots and my shit wasn't working, but the studio's finally alive again, so let's talk some damn baseball. We kick it off with Tarik Skubal's elbow surgery — loose bodies in there, Tigers' ace on the shelf, and the only real news from Monday turning into a "well, that's not ideal" situation. Then we roll through scores from around the league: Red Sox pounding the Motor City Kitties, Jays dropping one to a hot Rays club, Yankees and Royals rolling, Reds reeling, and everybody else stuck around .500. Framber Valdez decides Trevor Story's been tipping signs and buries one in his back, benches clear, and we get into where "stealing signs the right way" ends and "you're just being a dumbass" begins. Christopher Sanchez absolutely shoves it right up the A's ass, Severino pitches good enough to win, and the bullpen finds a way to light it on fire anyway. Then it's the injury and transaction dump: Skubal's elbow, Carlos Correa's bad ankle, Acuña's hammy, Shea Langeliers on the paternity list, Jonah Heim back to the A's for catcher depth, and a pile of arms bouncing between the IL and rehab assignments. Standings talk: AL Central is straight booty with not a single winning record, AL West is mid while the A's somehow hang on with a negative run differential, Braves are a wagon, Cubs are rolling in a loaded NL Central, Reds cooling off, Pirates way better than anyone expected, and the Giants and Rockies both suck at their own pace. We wrap it with today's pitching matchups worth a damn: McClanahan vs Corbin, Glasnow vs McCullers, Wheeler vs Springs, Paul Skenes vs Soroka, and a bunch of dudes who are either shoving or getting touched up. Move your ass. We're burnin' daylight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ali, Mike, Beau, and CJ discuss what CJ thought about young Braves starting pitcher JR Ritchie's outing last night, if Ritchie's bad pick off move throw that allowed the Tigers to score a run was something that he did on his own or something that either Braves catcher Jonah Heim or one of the Braves coaches wanted him to do, what has changed for the Braves offense that has allowed them to get back on track and be one of the best if not the best offense in baseball, why Matt Olson is swinging the bat so well right now, how CJ feels about the job Walt Weiss has done so far in his first year as the Braves Manager, and if last night's game where Matt Olson hit the two-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Braves the 4-3 win over the Tigers and the series win made CJ wish that he was in the booth calling the game.

The Texas Rangers offense is under the spotlight after a disappointing 2025 season that saw the team rank near the bottom of MLB in key categories like batting average, on-base percentage, and OPS. Major changes followed, including the departures of Marcus Semien, Adolis García, and Jonah Heim. New additions like Brandon Nimmo, Andrew McCutchen, and Danny Jansen are expected to help reshape the lineup, while core players such as Corey Seager, Wyatt Langford, and Josh Jung must take a step forward.

Check out Fran Duffy's 2026 Diehard Draft Guide! https://alldlls.com/draftguide26/ It was going to happen eventually — Jacob deGrom and Brandon Nimmo were going to play this spring for the Texas Rangers. The debuts arrived Wednesday against Team Brazil. The Rangers started deGrom on the mound after his All-Star season, and Nimmo was the leadoff man and right fielder behind his former Mets teammate. For deGrom, he allowed a solo home run and two other hits in two innings, striking out three, and Nimmo went 1 for 2 with a single and a walk. Both felt fine afterward and said they will be ready to go on Opening Day, March 26 against the Phillies.  0:00 - Intro 1:04 - Camp rundown and reaction to the run-rule victory over Brazil 19:18 - deGrom and Nimmo made their debuts today 32:21 - Battle for bench roles 47:09 - Batting cleanup - news and notes around baseball An ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports ALL THINGS DLLS:  WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker BUY MERCH:  http://DLLSLocker.com  FOLLOW ON SOCIAL:  Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

On this episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges sits down with longtime Texas Rangers beat reporter Evan Grant to examine one of the most pivotal offseasons the franchise has faced in years. With Bruce Bochy and Mike Maddox gone, Skip Schumacher stepping in, and payroll reductions looming, the Rangers must decide whether they are still building to contend—or preparing to reset. Evan offers candid insight into the front office's thinking, the financial squeeze tied to TV revenue losses, and what roster changes may look like—from Adolis García and Jonah Heim, to a potential move involving Marcus Semien, Corey Seager, or even Jacob deGrom. They also tackle whether the Rangers' offensive philosophy has stalled, how Josh Jung and Jake Burger fit into the new approach, and whether the organization can finally develop its own pitching. Along the way: cat diplomacy, rescue dogs, and a little baseball soul-searching. A thoughtful and revealing conversation for any Rangers fan wondering what comes next.   Chapters 00:00:00 – Norm Sets the Stage: GM Meetings, Offseason Uncertainty 00:00:33 – Title Sponsor: Fluent Financial 00:01:35 – Introducing Evan Grant: Perspective from Decades on the Rangers Beat 00:02:32 – Bruce Bochy's Exit: Mutual Decision or Push Out the Door? 00:03:54 – The Loss of Mike Maddox and What “Respect” Means in Baseball 00:06:28 – Will Coaching Changes Actually Hurt the 2026 Team? 00:07:57 – The Real Issue: Payroll Cuts and Financial Restraints 00:09:49 – TV Revenue Decline and Attendance Drop: The Business Side 00:10:57 – Who Goes?
