Podcast appearances and mentions of junior caminero

Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick on the Buccaneers beginning voluntary OTAs without Hassan Reddick, the Rays beat the Rangers as Drew Rasmussen doesn't allow a run for the 4th straight start and Junior Caminero hits another home run plus a conversation with USL Super League President Amanda Vandervort ahead of this weekend's semifinal game for the Tampa Bay Sun. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode fueled by cuxa in tiny teacups – perhaps a result of taking a clown visiting from Guatemala to an Orioles game and gifting him a “Relish” t shirt, or just another Sunday. Junior sets a record for under-22s. Woody sets a record for no more than 22s, and PCA (at 23) just sets the pace. Kids today! Kody with a K finds a home with MIN, and we sort out all the Victors. Oneil hits them hard and far, and Freddy hits the life-changers. The police blotter is overflowing what with the wife of Luis Arraez engaging in questionable promotions in dangerous times, Wander promoting himself questionably, and Dodger Stadium dropping rocks on NYY fans. The road to the College World Series is underway and Pottymouth is already wearing the purple.  Please watch the Seattle Mariners Pride video right now.We say, “moments ago, plus soup,” “I made, perhaps, some poor decisions,” and, “put the Fun in Funderburk.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

So many catchers in this snack size episode.  We've got pinky injuries, rolled ankles, welcome back dingers with glasses, and only dingers against Toronto. The Orioles help build an outdoor classroom at Harlem Park Elementary with a donated playoff share, and players fill its library with their own favorite books.  Pottymouth is well aware that she should roster her NYY bf but you can't take the Boston out of the fantasy team manager. What happened to Mike Trout is NOT what happened to Mookie Betts, it's not against the rules, but please stop doing it anyway. Duran is missing a huge opportunity to atone for past mistakes and change lives, but nope. Please read this piece by Kevin Blackstone in the Washington Post about the team of Jackie Robinson visiting the Trump White House.  We would have just ranted, but he just lays it all out there, calm, cool, and cutting. Pottymouth walks us through all the connections between the tragic roof collapse of the Dominican nightclub and so many MLB players. Patti picks “person in front of whom all ideas for alternate team identities must be run before selection” as her next career.  The River Cats/Gold Diggers really put her over. Puerto Rico looks like the only place we can stand to visit for WBC games – want to join us?We say, “Rivaling this on the classy scale…” “Honorable mention to a non-croucher,” and “That's so much more concise for all those words I just said…” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Rick Stroud is joined by Tampa Bay Times Rays Beat Writer Marc Topkin to preview today's Opening Day for the Rays and this season. They discuss the pitching staff, Shane McClanahan's injury, Danny Jansen, Junior Caminero, the outfield and more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In today's over/under Casey Warner sets the lines for the Rays run total on Opening Day against the Rockies, Junior Caminero's hit total, SEC teams to advance to the Elite Eight in the Big Dance and some props for newly acquired free agents Stefon Diggs and Russell Wilson.

Welcome to Episode 74 of Tablesetters! We're joined by a multi-platform voice in Tampa sports—Ryan Bass, who covers the Rays for FanDuel Sports Network Sun, reports nationally for NewsNation, and hosts with the Orlando Magic. We dive into everything shaping the 2025 Tampa Bay Rays season, starting with the unfortunate injury to Shane McClanahan and what it means for the Opening Day rotation. Ryan gives us the latest on McClanahan's status, clubhouse morale, and how the Rays plan to pivot. We explore the emergence of Curtis Mead after a scorching spring, Junior Caminero's slow start (despite the power), and whether the Rays will pursue a long-term extension for this potential cornerstore. Plus, Ryan breaks down Drew Rasmussen's comeback, Joe Boyle's upside, and the futures of Chandler Simpson and Carson Williams. We also step back to assess the AL East: Who's the team to beat? How do the Rays stack up against the Yankees, Orioles, Jays, and Red Sox in what may be baseball's most brutal division? From the front office's prospect-heavy trades to ongoing ballpark drama and ownership tensions, Ryan offers behind-the-scenes insight into a franchise at a crossroads. And we close with a fun one—Ryan's Mount Rushmore of Tampa Bay athletes, with some surprises in the mix.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): The mini-series continues as Gordo, Sammy, and Pat take a look at the team in the AL East who maybe has been flying under the radar in the Tampa Bay Rays. Is everyone sleeping on the Rays and how much of a factor will not playing at Tropicana Field will be? Also, Tampa has always leaned on their pitching and they will be getting their ace Shane McClanahan back along with young studs like Shane Baz in their starting rotation. And, Junior Caminero provides a thump in the Rays' lineup, but is that big enough to intimidate the Red Sox and others?

Los Yankees reciben malas noticias con la confirmación de que Giancarlo Stanton iniciará la temporada en la lista de lesionados, mientras que DJ LeMahieu también sufre molestias. En una decisión histórica, el expresidente Donald Trump anunció el indulto a Pete Rose, y Rob Manfred declaró que la MLB considerará su reinstalación. ¿Podría finalmente entrar al Salón de la Fama? Además, Junior Caminero brilló con dos jonrones en el duelo entre Rays y Mellizos, y Paul Skenes sigue impresionando en el Spring Training con un nuevo lanzamiento en su repertorio. En el clasificatorio de Tucson para el Clásico Mundial de Béisbol, Colombia y Alemania comenzaron con victoria, y Albert Pujols fue designado manager del equipo de República Dominicana. Para cerrar, Dave Roberts le devuelve la broma a Shohei Ohtani.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/con-las-bases-llenas-podcast-de-beisbol--2742086/support.

The New York Yankees haven't been quiet this offseason in regard to putting together a roster that they feel can hopefully get them back to the World Series in 2025. The same can be said for Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner this past week when he made a little noise himself, notably making comments about how the Los Angeles Dodgers have spent this offseason.Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the noise that came from the Boss in the Bronx about how teams can't spend like the world champs currently are and if these comments have something to do with the upcoming CBA talks that will surely focus on free agency and the way teams spend. They also talk about Hal selling the 2025 team as better than the 2024 club and whether the Yankees can actually put faith in a bounce-back season from Paul Goldschmidt and DJ LeMahieu.Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys get into the incredible performance (and bat flip) by Junior Caminero from Game 7 of the LIDOM championship, including a feat that's almost unheard of and how much better he can possibly get. Jake and Jordan also talk about Ha-Seong Kim and Carlos Estévez signing deals, as well as make their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.(1:36) - The Opener: Hal Steinbrenner's comments(21:44) - Around the League: Ha-Seong Kim and Carlos Estévez sign(33:18) - Turbo Mode: Recapping other transactions(38:53) - Holy %^&*$#&%: Junior Caminero's Game 7 performance(52:08) - The Good(55:26) - The Bad(59:41) - The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Fantasy Baseball Live – December 22, 2024Segment 1 – News and Notes – Trades and Signings1.The first basemen who are available are getting jobs.a.The Astros signed Christian Walker for 3 years and $60 million.i.The new-look Astros have Isaac Paredes at third and Walker at first. In the outfield, there is Jake Myers, Chas McCormack, and a yet-to-be-hired left fielder. How are you feeling if you're an Astros fan?ii.Do you think the Diamondbacks will go to battle with Pavin Smith at first base?1.The answer is no, as they acquired Josh Naylor from the Guardians for RHP Slade Cecconi and the 2nd round balance pick. Then the Guardians turn around and sign old favorite, Carlos Santanaa.What is the thinking here with the Guardians?b.Kyle Manzardo appears to be heading for DH duties. Is this good for fantasy manages long-term?c.Do you like this for the Diamondbacks?b.The Yankees appear to have signed Paul Goldschmidt, signing the 37-year-old to a one-year $12.5 million contract. He's a perfect fit for the Yankees as he's the right age. Is there anything left?i.Stat line for 2024 – HR, RBI, SB, and BAii.I love the fact that the Cardinals moved on here. They'll move Willson Contreras to first and give full-time at-bats to Ivan Herrera. I'm a fan of Herrera. What are your thoughts?2.The Yankees also acquired Cody Bellinger from the Cubs for RHP Cody Poteet. The Cubs will pay $5 million to offset the deal. This was a salary dump to eliminate some of the outfield depth the Cubs didn't need.a.Bellinger is a dead pull hitter with poor exit velocities and a ton of leverage. He should be better in Yankees stadium, but is it enough to interest you in Drafts? He is the 28th outfielder off the board and has increased since the trade. Are you interested? Will we look at the players going around him?b.Let's see what we think about the Yankees opening day lineup - RosterResource3.The Phillies sign Max Kepler to a one-year, $10 million contract. He's not the same player he was a few years ago, as the exit velocities are off, and last year, he rarely walked. You typically don't see the fall-off he had last season in his walk rate, so there could be some positive correction. However, with the bat speed down, players will get more anxious. His ADP is 639.51. Is there any value left? Maybe a flier in a Draft and Hold League?4.The Orioles sign Tomoyuki Sugano. Can you give us a scouting report?a.Let's look at the Orioles Opening Day rotation.5.Early this morning, the Phillies acquired Jesus Luzardo from the Marlins for…wait for it…more prospects. Returning is SS Starlyn Caba and OF Emaarion Boyda.Luzardo was injured a lot last season and only started 12 games for the Marlins. He was the big talk this time last year, but the Marlins held onto him. He has two more years of team control.b.Do you like this for the Phillies?c.Stat line for 2025 – GS, Ks, and ERASegment 2 – AL East Fantasy Questions – Ray and Blue Jays1.Tampa Bay Raysa.Junior Caminero's stat line for 2025: AB, HR, RBI and BAb.Josh Lowe was one of your guys last season, but only got 50 plate appearances against LHP. He's the 40th outfielder off the board. Any interest? We will look at other outfielders going where he is.c.Does Christopher Morel get full-time at-bats for the Rays? i.Over-under 25 home runs? ii.Over-under .220 batting average.d.McClanahan is 18 months removed from TJS, but remember, it's his second one. He's the 46 pitcher off the board or the 35th starter off the board. Is he worth the gamble as a high-end number three starter?i.McClanahan (46), Baz (67), Springs (95). Order these three in how you would draft them.e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)2.Toronto Blue Jaysa.I'm doing my Draft Targets for our Patreon members. I released first base over the weekend and wrote many glowing words about Vlad Jr., something I haven't done much over his career. I love the setup, though. He has enormous power, still young and in his walk year. What are your thoughts?i.If Soto signs for $600 to $700 and Vlad Jr. will be just 26 when he enters free agency, is he at least a $500 million player?b.Joey Loperfido stat line for 2025 – AB, HR, BA, and RBIi.BTW, Loperfido is two months younger than Vlad Jr. and his career is just getting started. Let that sink in…c.George Springer's career is winding down and he's now going as the 59th outfielder off the board. He hit 19 home runs and stole 16 bases last season. Any interest?d.Kevin Gausman is the 63rd pitcher off the board – a late number three, early four starter. He pitched to a 3.83 ERA, but the strikeouts were down.i.Are you interested in Gausman next season.ii.I've looked at his baseballsavant page and will do a breakdown of him. There are warning signs. e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)3.Who wins the AL East and how many teams advance to the playoffs?Close
