TUESDAY HOUR 2
WEDNESDAY HOUR 3
Say it ain't so, JP.. #Relentless
On this episode I'm joined by JP France who's a well known pitcher for the Houston Astros but one thing you may not know is he's an avid outdoorsman, archer, and Hunter!! On this one we dive into what's it's like being in the MLB while having a passion for hunting and chasing Whitetails. We get into a lot of topics in this one which includes the story of his Kansas pre rut buck he laid the smack down on with his compound bow last year in 2023. We talk saddle hunting vs hang on tree stands, Major League Bowhunter, our passion for Bowhunting Whitetails and a lot in between. If you've listened to this podcast before you know we go down some rabbit holes but it's most definitely not an episode you want to miss. I truly appreciate JP for taking the time out of his busy schedule to record this with me and after talking with him I definitely have a new favorite player in the MLB.

Jack welcomes back MLB analyst and former Major League first baseman Orestes Destrade and Survivor: South Pacific second runner-up and college baseball player Albert Destrade to the show, to discuss the week's baseball news. It is Orestes' first appearance on the Jack Vita Show since October 2021. Orestes played four Major League seasons for the New York Yankees, Pittsburgh Pirates and Florida Marlins. As a member of the Marlins' inaugural team in 1993, Orestes led the Marlins in home runs (20) and RBI (87). He held the single-season franchise records for both categories, before Gary Sheffield broke his home run record in 1994 and Jeff Conine broke his RBI record in 1995. Orestes also played five seasons in Japan, where he led the Pacific League in home runs three times and RBI twice. In 1990, he was the MVP of the Japan Series. Since retiring from playing, Orestes has established himself as one of baseball's top broadcasters and analysts. From 2006 through 2009, Orestes worked at ESPN, appearing on Baseball Tonight and providing color commentary for the Little League World Series and World Baseball Classic. 17 years after the first ever World Baseball Classic, the 2023 WBC was a smashing success. O weighs in on his thoughts after being on the field for the championship game in March. Is there a way that the WBC can be improved upon in the future? Jack has some suggestions (0:00 - 18:00). O has a working theory as to why the Rays are off to their best start in franchise history. Is he on to (18:00 - 31:25). April 2023 saw an uptick in home runs over April of last year. Where are all these home runs coming from, and what are Albert, Orestes and Jack's thoughts on the sport's new rules thus far (31:25 - 42:05)? The Houston Astros have a losing record on May 9 for the first time since 2016, the last year the club missed the postseason. Starting pitchers Jose Urquidy and Luis Garcia each sustained injuries on back-to-back days. Garcia will require Tommy John surgery and Urquidy could be out for a while too. In place of both pitchers, the Astros recalled Brandon Bielak and friend of the show, JP France! France made his Major League debut Saturday, throwing five scoreless innings in a loss to the Seattle Mariners. Given their slow start and injuries, should Astros fans be concerned about their club? Could the Chicago White Sox be major sellers at the trade deadline? Months after signing him to a five-year contract, the St. Louis Cardinals will no longer be playing Willson Contreras at catcher for the time being. He will instead be DH-ing and playing the outfield. The Cardinals also enter Wednesday in last place in the National League Central. Orestes, Albert and Jack break it all down. With the Astros off to a cold start, is the American League West up for grabs? O is a big time believer in the Texas Rangers. All this and much more, on the latest edition of the Jack Vita Show (42:05 - END)! Follow Albert on Twitter and Instagram, and subscribe to his podcast, It's Not Polite to Ask with Albert Destrade. Tune in to hear Orestes' weekly radio program, the O Zone!

Houston Astros pitcher JP France has spent the last five years working his way through the Astros farm system. He was selected in the 14th round of the 2018 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft out of Mississippi State University. In his last 17 appearances of the 2022 Triple-A season in Sugar Land, France logged a 2.52 ERA over 39.1 innings pitched. In November, France was placed on the Astros Major League active roster, and he hopes to make his Major League debut in 2023. His wife, Jessica McCain France, appeared on five different seasons of reality television series that aired on MTV between the years 2013 and 2016, including The Real World: Portland, The Challenge: Rivals II, The Challenge: Free Agents, The Challenge: Battle of the Exes II, and The Challenge: Rivals III. Jessica is currently pregnant with the couple's first child, and is due to give birth very soon. France visits the Jack Vita Show to discuss a wide variety of topics including, his love for hunting and the movie Mean Girls, life in the minor leagues, changes that have come to minor league baseball in recent years — some of which that are soon coming to MLB, such as the pitch clock — preparing for fatherhood, his Christian faith, his wife's reality television career, pitching, and much more. France has pitched both as a starter and a reliever. He pitched primarily out of the bullpen towards the end of last season. How does pitching as a reliever differ from pitching as a starter? France explains. He discusses his pitch mix, how to mentally turn the page from a bad outing, and how he attacks hitters. Tune in to the Jack Vita Show for an episode you will not want to miss! We featured JP's wife Jess on the Jack Vita Show last summer. Check it out here!

Growing up where waterfowl hunting was prevalent, JP France hasn't been bowhunting all that long but it's safe to say that he's hooked! Pitching at the Triple A level for the Houston Astros with the Sugar Land Space Cowboys, France doesn't get nearly enough time to enjoy his newfound passion but makes the best of it. Connected with Brett Graves and his group of big leaguers from Full Count Full Draw, JP is sure to add to his growing resume of success this fall when the leaves begin to change. A new fan on the HHA Sports train, he shared his dream hunt of harvesting a mature bull elk some day and we hope that becomes a reality for the budding star.Not growing up in a military family but experiencing that firsthand on his wife's side, France has a tremendous respect for those who serve our country. In an interesting but welcome turn, when asked about the National Anthem and pregame ceremonies, he was quick to speak about a far less frequent staple at the ballpark, God Bless America. I couldn't have agreed more and while I will always love the Anthem, like JP I wish that more sporting events would add the lesser played song to their rotations as a reminder of the great country that we are blessed to live in.Married to a former reality TV star and world class chef, France shared some exciting news and will soon add the title of father to his growing list of duties in early 2023. Needless to say, he and his wife will continue their busy lifestyle as he chases his dream of making it to the big leagues. All of us here at HHAUSA and HHA Sports will be cheering him on every step of the way and we hope that you enjoy the conversation!
Triple A baseball player, JP France with the guest spot this week. JP was drafted out of Mississippi St by the Houston Astros and has a passion for bowhunting. Although he doesn't get to hunt as often as he'd like, his passion is there. You baseball guys will enjoy this conversation as we speak on just how similar baseball and bowhunting are to one another. Follow JP's journey @thefrenchman28
