Every time I get together with my buddy, Josh Tomlin, we riff on no fewer than 1000 topics—business ideas, philosophies, you name it. It's always such a blast hanging out with Josh. From a fellow small-town East Texas boy to a World Series Champion, Josh has already, in his short 39 years, led an extraordinary […]
He hasn't homered as a Met yet, and Jonathan Araúz went 0-for-3 yesterday to fall from .333 to .167 (DJ Stewart now has a .259-.256 lead on Brandon Nimmo for active roster batting average, regardless of plate appearance totals), but let's go ahead and head into the weekend with Araúz's home run chain.* Jonathan Araúz hit his first home run off Josh Tomlin, 9/27/20* Josh Tomlin gave up his first home run to José Molina, 7/31/10* José Molina hit his first home run off Rocky Biddle, 5/10/01* Rocky Biddle gave up his first home run to Joe Oliver, 8/10/00* Joe Oliver hit his first home run off Ricky Horton, 8/18/89* Ricky Horton gave up his first home run to Jeffrey Leonard, 4/7/84* Jeffrey Leonard hit his first home run off Pete Falcone, 4/25/80* Pete Falcone gave up his first home run to Vic Correll, 4/13/75* Vic Correll hit his first home run off Randy Moffitt, 7/31/74* Randy Moffitt gave up his first home run to Garry Jestadt, 6/25/72* Garry Jestadt hit his first home run off Mike Torrez, 5/14/72* Mike Torrez gave up his first home run to Adolfo Phillips, 4/19/68* Adolfo Phillips hit his first home run off Barney Schultz, 9/6/65* Barney Schultz gave up his first home run to Ernie Banks, 4/16/55* Ernie Banks hit his first home run off Gerry Staley, 9/20/53* Gerry Staley gave up his first home run to Sid Gordon, 7/11/47* Sid Gordon hit his first home run off Jim Tobin, 4/27/43* Jim Tobin gave up his first home run to Dizzy Dean, 8/22/37* Dizzy Dean hit his first home run off Ed Brandt, 7/31/32* Ed Brandt gave up his first home run to Andy Reese, 4/19/28* Andy Reese hit his first home run off Bill Sherdel, 6/19/27* Bill Sherdel gave up his first home run to Heinie Groh, 6/22/18* Heinie Groh hit his first home run off Frank Allen, 7/28/13* Frank Allen gave up his first home run to Owen Wilson, 7/15/12* Owen Wilson hit his first home run off Johnny Lush, 4/23/08* Johnny Lush gave up his first home run to Johnny King, 5/18/06* Johnny King hit his first home run off Ed Poole, 4/29/03* Ed Poole gave up his first home run to Elmer Flick, 5/16/01* Elmer Flick hit his first home run off Red Ehret, 6/1/98* Red Ehret gave up his first home run to Billy Shindle, 7/7/88This was the first home run allowed by Ehret, pitching for the Kansas City Cowboys in the American Association against Shindle and the Baltimore Orioles. Ehret was sold after the season to the Louisville Colonels for $500, and stayed there for three years. In the 1890 proto-World Series against the Brooklyn Bridegrooms, Ehret pitched two complete games, winning both, and he closed out Louisville's other win in the series, which went down as a 3-3-1 tie. Ehret also was 3-for-7 with a triple in the series, but the real hitting stars were Germany Smith with two triples and seven runs batted in for Brooklyn, and Chicken Wolf, who knocked in eight of Louisville's 32 runs in the series, while going 9-for-25 with four extra-base hits and four more runs scored.Chicken Wolf's given name was William Van Winkle Wolf, and he led the American Association that year with 197 hits, 260 total bases, and a .363 average. He was Louisville's all-time leader in games played, with 1,193, and collected 1,437 hits to lead the franchise, as well as 109 triples and 591 RBI.Ehret didn't stick around that long. In 1892, he joined the National League's Pittsburgh Pirates, and in 1893 led the league with four shutouts — and 23 hit batsmen. He was traded to St. Louis after the 1894 season, and on to Cincinnati a year later. Finally, Ehret was dealt back to Louisville before the 1898 season, but the real prize for the Colonels in that deal was Billy Hoy, the deaf player who in his age 36 and 37 seasons racked up 29 triples and scored 221 runs. Hoy was previously a tangent at the end of the Jeff McNeil home run chain, so that's fun. More fun than the Mets are having. This is a public episode.

Join The Athletic for just $1 a month! Visit: theathletic.com/755isreal Could the Braves and Yankees meet in the World Series? According to Sports Illustrated, it's what we should expect in October. DOB and EOF think over an Atlanta-New York Fall Classic, and will Ronald Acuna Jr. win NL MVP? Max Fried will be the Bravos' Opening Day starter, the first left-handed pitcher to do so since Tom Glavine. The HOFer, himself, weighs in on Fried taking the mound to start the year. Who's in the mix to be the team's fifth starter, and in what order will the determined starters pitch? Although he's pieced together an admirable Spring, Jacob Webb has been optioned to the alternate site. The question is, why? David and Eric discuss why the 27-year-old promising arm isn't in the starting rotation. The duo also reacts to Drew Smyly and Josh Tomlin's encouraging outings, and Austin Riley's moonshot.

Where do we stand on baseball's unwritten rules? Fernando Tatis Jr.'s meteoric rise is only that much more impressive considering he's 21-years young; however, his inexperience is also what attracted the ire of his manager and others after a late-game grand slam against Texas on Monday night, which violated one of baseball's hallowed unwritten rules. DOB and EOF discuss if unwritten rules are necessary or antiquated in today's day and age and whether Tatis Jr. is deserving of his coach and others' disapproval (1:45). How did Eric come to learn about the game's mutually understood, though not explicitly stated, laws (24:00)? Which guidelines are beneficial? Are there any that are outdated? Josh Tomlin is scheduled to start for the first time since late 2019 (35:30). Are he and Robbie Erlin enough get the Braves by? The Braves have won three-straight despite Ronald Acuna Jr. and Ozzie Albies being sidelined (45:30). Plus, Juan Soto is unreal. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The guys hit the Falcons report It was time for the “Strong Arm Story” The Atlanta Braves starting rotation is mess right now and the guys on Dukes & Bell talked about how the Braves bullpen is might be the only option for the team to carry them until they get things figured out with the starting rotation. Carl thinks the Braves made a statement with winning the weekend series against the Marlins. “We went into the Marlins over the weekend with no Albies and no Acuna and you still found a way to win the series. That to me is a statement that we are a better team even though our starting pitching woes are troubling.” Dukes said “They’re gonna start Josh Tomlin tomorrow who is normally in the bullpen, they’re going to start him as a starter against Washington, but you’re getting some of the guys you’ve been missing in your bullpen back now and so because of that, gives you a little bit more flexibility that maybe you didn’t have a few weeks ago.” Mike talked about how much the team has leaned on the bullpen. “We knew they were going to be the strong suit to start we just didn’t know we were going to be leaning on them like this.” Bell said.

The 2010's was a memorable decade for the Indians. The team reached the playoffs four times, winning a wild card spot once and three AL East titles. The big years were 2013, 2016, 2017 and 2018. 2016 was a magical year as the Indians went all the way to the World Series and reached Game 7 with the game tied in the 9th inning. Some years were tough developmental ones but it was enjoyable to watch young players improve.

Sometimes, we take the present for granted and get too caught up in where a player stands in history. Shohei Ohtani has been no stranger to that criticism in these past few weeks, and he silenced his critics in another big way on Tuesday night.Ohtani unloaded on a hanging breaking ball from Josh Tomlin in the 1st inning, cranking a 3-run shot to right for his first, of what we hope to be many, Major League home run of his career. The 23-year old had his best day at the plate in the U.S., lacing 3 hits in total and 3 RBI's. It's time for us to appreciate and enjoy what Ohtani is doing and will continue to do all season long.Later in the show, we discuss the current climate of the AL West just one week into the season before providing our thoughts on the latest DL casualty, Matt Shoemaker. Can Parker Bridwell step up in his absence? Will Billy Eppler be forced to eventually make a move outside the organization to improve the starting pitching depth?

The Cleveland Indians were busy kicking off the 2017-2018 Hot Stove Season. They re-upped Michael Brantley and Josh Tomlin, and gave Carlos Santana the one-year qualifying offer, hoping to gain some leverage in signing him to a potential longer-term deal. WFNY's Jim Pete and Gage Will discuss the Santana conundrum, and how the Brantley deal may put them in a strange place, as the dominoes past that don't seem to fit perfectly. They also discuss Jason Kipnis's spot on the team, figure out who's playing third base long term, and ponder Danny Salazar's future, either in the pen, the rotation, or for another team.

The boys from EHC are doing some game recap podcasts to boost up the Tribe talk at WFNY. Here's their latest from the May 7, 2017 victory over the Royals. We're on Patreon and you can support us! Subscribe: iTunes Stitcher Google Play The Cleveland Indians 1-0, one-hit victory over the Kansas City Royals gave the Indians another series victory, and left the Tribe 1 1/2 games ahead of the second-place Minnesota Twins in the A.L. Central. At 17-13, the Indians have still left a lot on the table, but while they aren't anywhere near their peak performance, you can see the type of trouble they are going to cause teams all year long. Take this weekend series. The Indians were throwing their 3-4-6 starters at the Royals in Danny Salazar, Josh Tomlin, and Mike Clevinger, and were still able to take two out of three while only scoring five weekend runs against the struggling Royals.

The Cleveland Indians' starting rotation is considered by many to be the engine of the team, anchored by former Cy Young Award winner Corey Kluber. With fellow ace Carlos Carrasco, and potential future aces is Danny Salazar and Trevor Bauer, the top end of this staff can match up with anyone. The fact that playoff hero Josh Tomlin is considered by many to be a footnote to the "thunderarms" ahead of him really says it all. With the staff back and healthy after Carrasco and Salazar missed substantial crunch time (discounting brief Salazar sightings), some are saying that the starting five are as good a rotation as there is in all of baseball. WFNY's Mike Hattery and Jim Pete take a look at why this rotation is so good, and why there is still cause for concern. They also take a look at the Columbus rotation, Mike Clevinger, and why Cody Anderson's UCL injury is giving them nightmares.
