There are a lot of Black baseball highlights to review this morning, BUT who are we kidding? Last night was all about the Knicks and their epic - historic - comeback victory in the Garden. I'm not going to lie, I was depressed by the third quarter. I was in my Knicks group chat not just talking doom for the game, but doom for the entire series. Then history happened. What a comeback. What a team! What a night! Black baseball had a big night all across MLB: James Wood & and Jordan Walker hit bombs (yes, Walker's is not in the IG highlights…I'll try to add it to Substack), Cedric Mullins, Cam Smith, Lawrence Butler, Byron Buxton, and Jazz are all in the's FYB, and more! And, how about those White Sox? They are in sole possession of first place in the AL Central. Who could have guessed?

The Cardinals are 36-28, riding a five-game win streak, and Jordan Walker is on 30/30 watch. He's got 16 homers and 10 steals with two-thirds of the season left, and the All-Star conversation is getting loud.Nootbaar is finally back and the lineup immediately looks different. Alec Burleson is the third-best first baseman in the NL by fWAR. The bench is actually working. Dustin May and JoJo Romero are reportedly on the trade block. And Nolan Gorman's strikeout numbers tell an uncomfortable story.Have a question or comment for the show?

There is a lot to talk about this morning: AUSL Opening Day was last night, and I want to know if you are following the nascent softball league. Let me know in the comments: Are you following the AUSL? Which teams and which players? Some of the most exciting players within the entire softball landscape are involved, but not ALL of them are playing the AUSL. Let me explain: There are six teams in the AUSL, two more than the inaugural 2025 season, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention the Professional Softball League (PSL). They feature seven teams and some of the best players in the world. The overall net result of the two leagues is that women professional softball players have opportunities like never before. In addition to the AUSL, there was a full slate of MLB games last night. Welcome to the Show, Braden Montgomery! He made a lifelong memory in Chicago. Also, big production from Jordan Walker, James Wood, Byron Buxton, Xavier Edwards, Jazz Chisholm, and more. FYB!

06/09/26 Hour 1: Illinois Football lands 3-Star Quarterback Sladen Shack - what you need to know; Cardinals vs Mets and Cubs vs Rockies Preview Illinois football added another piece to its future quarterback room as three-star 2027 signal caller Sladen Shack from Brandon, Mississippi announced his commitment to Bret Bielema and the Illini. The 6-foot-1, 211-pound quarterback chose Illinois over offers from Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, UConn, South Florida, East Carolina and others. Shack is rated as one of Mississippi's top prospects in the Class of 2027 and becomes Illinois' quarterback commitment for the cycle after the staff reset its recruiting board this spring. Illinois coaches Art Sitkowski and Barry Lunney Jr. prioritized Shack following strong evaluations and an official visit to Champaign. The commitment continues Illinois' recent pipeline into Mississippi, following the success of former Illini quarterback Luke Altmyer.  Then we shift to baseball as the Cardinals open a three-game series against the Mets at Citi Field. St. Louis enters the matchup at 35-28 and currently holds the top National League Wild Card position, while New York sits at 29-36 but comes home with momentum after winning series against both San Diego and Seattle. Young stars Jordan Walker and JJ Wetherholt continue to fuel the Cardinals' surprising season, while the Mets welcome catcher Francisco Alvarez back from the injured list ahead of the series opener. The matchup features two teams trying to strengthen their playoff positioning in a crowded National League race. Meanwhile, the Cubs begin a six-game season series with the Rockies at Coors Field. Chicago enters the series looking to gain ground after an inconsistent stretch, while Colorado continues rebuilding after a difficult 2025 campaign. The probable pitching matchups feature Colin Rea vs. Tomoyuki Sugano, Shota Imanaga vs. Michael Lorenzen, and Edward Cabrera vs. Ryan Feltner. Despite Colorado's struggles, Coors Field has historically been a difficult place for the Cubs, making this an important road test as they try to stay in the National League playoff picture.

Mike Harris, Jordan Walker, CJ Abrams, James Wood, Xavier Edwards, and Taj Bradley are near the top of my list. Drop some additional names in the comments. As always, thanks for your support. Go Knicks! And let's have a great week.

– Jordan Walker is changing the complexion of the Cardinals build. Plus, can Noot play his way into the core? – In or Out– We are starting to hear some Cardinals names pop up in the trade rumors. Plus, what would buying look like for the Cardinals at the deadline? – BK & Ferrario RewindSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sunday, June 7, 2026: Baseball is on fire right now, and Black baseball fans should be excited. Three college baseball teams have already punched their tickets to Omaha, and, forgive WVU, I was not this familiar with your game. @tyrus.hall @mani.ftn & @seansmithll are putting on a show worth the price of admission. Georgia is also worth the watch with @ryanblackkk @tr3phelps and more. Much love to my partners over at @mbptakeover @msptakeover for kicking off their three-city HBCU All-American tour this weekend - North Carolina was a movie; ATL and DET up next. In MLB action, @thereallujamesgroover got his first MLB hit, Jordan Walker continues his 26 All-Star campaign, and welcome back to The Show Lamonte Wade Jr.

A huge Finish Your Breakfast today! It runs over three minutes, so IG will not recommend this reel to new audiences. Please add to your story and share around.This is a special weekend for our partners over at @msptakeover. They kicked off their HBCU All-Star Weekend in North Carolina last night with their 4th Annual HBCU All-Star softball game in Charlotte. I hope you can tell from the photos that the vibes were high and the community was out. Jump over to MSP Takeover for all the details. Black baseball players showed out last night: The Nats' James Wood, Daylen Lile, and CJ Abrams hit homers. Jordan Walker continued his all-star campaign. And Jeremiah Jackson needs even more run (trust me). S/O to WVU baseball: Tyrus Hall and Sean Smith both hit homers in their Super Regional Game 1 win - all of that and more (KNICKS IN 4).

Griffin Warner talks betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner is back on the What I Bet Podcast, part of the Straight Outta Vegas AM Podcast Network at Pregame.com, covering every major betting angle for Tuesday, June 2nd, beginning with Game 1 of the 2026 Stanley Cup Finals and running through a full 14-game Major League Baseball slate. Before diving in, Griffin reminds listeners that promo code GRIFFIN50 at Pregame.com gets you $50 off his All Access package through the All-Star break, dropping the price from $249 to $199 and locking in every pick through mid-July. The deadline is July 8th. Starting with the NHL, Griffin lays out his case for the Vegas Golden Knights as a plus-money play in Raleigh. Carolina enters as heavy home favorites after losing just one game across three playoff rounds, but that loss came in Game 1 of the Eastern Final after an extended layoff, a detail Griffin finds relevant as Vegas arrives with its own rest-and-rust dynamic following a sweep of the Colorado Avalanche. Cale Makar's injury limited Colorado at key moments, which gives the Golden Knights some credit for how they navigated that series. Griffin likes Vegas on the money line at plus-132, the series price at plus-127, and is targeting the under six rather than under five and a half to avoid the empty-netter problem that has burned under bettors throughout these playoffs. The MLB breakdown covers every game on the board. Griffin passes on the Padres and Phillies despite a soft Nola start because the overall offensive environment makes it a coin flip. He moves past Detroit and Tampa Bay after finding Jack Flaherty unbackable at any number in his current form and the Rays too expensive for his framework. He finds a clear lean in Washington, where the Nationals are priced at a shockingly cheap minus-111 against Miami's bullpen game, and C.J. Abrams, James Wood, and the rest of a hot-hitting club make that number feel like a gift. Baltimore and Boston shape up as a borderline under at Fenway, and Griffin acknowledges the park's history of eating unders alive before moving on. Cam Schlittler and the Yankees are simply too dominant to fade at any price. Noah Cameron gets some love from Griffin but the Royals bullpen situation, highlighted by a rough week from closer Lucas Erceg, makes Kansas City impossible to trust even if the starter delivers. The Braves look cheap at minus-122 against Toronto, and Bryce Elder's 2026 track record in Atlanta earns Griffin's lean in that direction. Kyle Harrison's continued dominance in Milwaukee, now at 18 consecutive scoreless innings, makes the former top prospect one of the more fascinating stories on the June 2nd card, though Griffin passes on the game itself. Davis Martin and the White Sox visiting Minnesota provides little grip for Griffin, who moves quickly. In St. Louis, he finds one of the night's more interesting numbers at plus-100 on the Cardinals with Dustin May facing Nathan Eovaldi, noting the Rangers' home run problems and Jordan Walker's hot stretch as reasons to look at the Cardinals price. Gage Jump's early big-league exposure at Wrigley Field against Jameson Taillon in a wind-in environment is a situation Griffin monitors but does not commit to. Mike Burrows and Houston get a lean at minus-110 against Pittsburgh. Grayson Rodriguez and the Angels as minus-155 against the Rockies is a price Griffin finds heavy given Rodriguez's injury history, though Colorado plus-140 is a number he admits he will be tracking closely before first pitch. And Michael Soroka's plus-107 price against the Dodgers in Arizona becomes the final talking point, with Griffin identifying his buy price at around plus-100 and expressing genuine affinity for the Diamondbacks in that spot. The official What I Bet Best Bet to close the show is the Washington Nationals minus-112, a number Griffin calls simply too cheap against a Miami team running a bullpen game. The show is three and one over its last four Best Bets.

Remember, they also have a bunch of deferred money kicking in with Ohtani, etc. one thought is as they deal with the bad contracts, they promote all their young kids as cheap alternatives as the Mookies of the world become backup players. So cheap everyday players and expensive backups. Besides Betts and Smith, freeman, Tucker, Teoscar all are done in three more years. The strategy might work. I will say that Smith's contract looks the worse but he's also the most reasonable. They might have to buy him out.

The Approach Angle Nate Schwartz (@_nateschwartz) and Kyle Bland (@blandalytics) talk about four hitters who are doing something new. After spending the last couple of weeks building up the analytical toolkit on the hitting side, the two investigate hitters who are doing something new—for better or worse. They start with Gunnar Henderson's struggles, looking at how his swing has changed from past years and the effect that has on his decision-making. Then, they look at Munetaka Murakami's breakout season and talk about how his approach is sustainable despite an exceptionally high whiff rate. After that, they take a stab at why Fernando Tatis Jr. has no home runs and project what he'll look like for the rest of the season and beyond. Finally, they evaluate Jordan Walker's breakout season, and why a bunch of small changes are going a long way.

This week on Hacks & Jacks, Scott and Brett discuss all the injury and call-up transactions around the league, including whether any of the most recent prospects could have fantasy value or if they're all just names in the wash. St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker just keeps hitting, and just keeps rising up the hitter ranks. Meanwhile, Samuel Basallo has firmly supplanted Adley Rutschman as the catcher to roster in Baltimore. Scott has removed a bunch of Mets from the list, including third baseman Mark Vientos.

Keep your shirts on, the Best Podcast in Baseball is back. And just in time, too. Good vibes have engulfed the Cardinals after returing from a successful swing through California to an eletrcic weekend at Busch Stadium, thanks to the fortuitous pairing of the Stephen F. Austin club baseball team, a walk-off win Friday night, and a mid-game revival Saturday against Kansas City. For several years, the host of the Best Podcast in Baseball has stumped and advocated for a change in the atmosphere at Busch -- from the need for a victory anthem to the idea of transplanting the supporter section from City SC to Busch, even for a weekend. Well, it's all happening. The students from SFA created that section organically, the Cardinals have adopted a victory anthem, and they're playing a style of baseball that is producing wins. Heck, they even have a home run prop. BPIB asks, have they found their voice as a contender? Host Derrick Goold, who misplaced his voice for several weeks, welcomes KMOX/104.1 FM star and BPIB fixture Kevin Wheeler discuss what elements of the Cardinals' success and the atmosphere at the ballpark has staying power. Also discussed: Wheeler suggests that the Cardinals have received produuction from Jordan Walker equivalent to a $40-milliion free-agent addition. Goold details his breakdown on the three types of statistics: narrative, qualitative, and predictive. And how each applies to discussing analytics for players, fans, and writers, and of course team executives, who camp out in the predictive category. The challenge of development when it comes to a character like Grogu as his big-screen debut approaches. This is the way BPIB returns More Post-Dispatch podcasts.  Please consider subscribing. In its 14th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes. Each episode is sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold.
