POPULARITY
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman take a final look at the MLB award races. Which awards—like Pete Crow-Armstrong's historic run for NL MVP—are all but locked up, and which others are still hotly contested? They also debate the tight AL MVP race between Yordan Alvarez and Junior Caminero, spotlight the surge of reliever Mason Miller, ace Jacob Misiorowski and more.This week's Good, Bad, Uggla covers a little bit of everything: from the Chicago Cubs team bonding at the race track, to Ichiro's 127-pitch shutout against high schoolers, to a bizarre saga involving a Brewers owner and some sand.Plus, key playoff races and a preview of the biggest matchups of the upcoming weekend slate.(2:17) One last MLB awards check-in(29:31) The Good (39:10) The Bad(44:40) The Uggla(53:32) What to watch this weekend Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

After a brief PSA about an open producer position (email wanted@fangraphs.com with the subject line “Podcast Editor 2026” to apply) Ben Lindbergh (kind of) continues his quest to temporarily resurrect a few dearly departed baseball podcasts by bringing on MLB.com’s Mike Petriello, former host of Ballpark Dimensions, to banter about a record home run trot, which “Statcast era” records they’re most confident are also all-time records, Junior Caminero’s defense and the value of small-sample defensive splits, the latest Statcast tools, Statcast WAR, predictive vs. descriptive stats, a divisive standing ovation for Pete Alonso at Citi Field, and this week’s White Sox-Guardians series. Then (58:25) Ben chats with former Astros AGM Andrew Ball and former Phillies quantitative analyst Tom Kim about Tom’s new command metric, OpenCommand, whether public baseball research still has something to teach teams, the public-private knowledge gap, and overrated secrets.

The Yankees, Dodgers, Brewers, and White Sox all have big takeaways this week on "Is This A Great Game, Or What?" Tim Kurkjian breaks it all down, along with just how incredible Junior Caminero has been over the last week. Plus, Tim's raw reaction to Pete Alonso's 300th homer AT Citi Field. Payton Tolle might be Jeff's new favorite player, and it has a lot to do with his postgame press conferences AND the way he plays the game. PCA obviously makes an appearance in the Quirkjians because when is he not? Murakami strikes out a lot, but it hasn't stopped him or the White Sox from leading the AL Central. DOUBLE (maybe triple) the Team Tim today, starting with On This Date in Baseball History. Tim Kurkjian puts together a team consisting of big happenings on this date, and we didn't realize just how big it was. This is a star-studded lineup. The Alphabest consists of our final installment, Z! During Three Cards In The Bathroom, we talk current and former players, fathers and sons, grandparents and grandchildren. A fascinating correlation with this one. We wrap with a double Team Tim. Yes, you read that right. Even Jeff gets in on the action, making good on a promise of a team consisting of Roberto Clemente Award winners!

Pete Alonso returned to his old digs on Monday night in Queens, greeted by New York Mets fans giving a rousing ovation to show their appreciation for his time with the team. On Tuesday night, though, he paid it back to the fans by hitting his 300th career home run in the top of the ninth to tie the game. And the fans continued to cheer.On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the warm welcome home that the Polar Bear received at Citi Field for his first visit since joining the Baltimore Orioles. They get into how Alonso nailed the moment, despite Mets players not being too thrilled with how fans responded to his heroics, as well as how David Stearns has failed the club so far in his tenure, which has given fans of the Amazin's a sour taste in their mouths.Later in the show, Jake and Jordan talk about the two series they attended this week, including the Los Angeles Dodgers at Cincinnati Reds, where Freddie Freeman is reinventing himself and finding success. They also talk about the Cleveland Guardians taking two of three games from the Chicago White Sox and further improving their chances of possibly leapfrogging into first place in the AL Central. The guys close the show out by looking at Junior Caminero's MVP odds, Elly De La Cruz's monster home run and the Milwaukee Brewers winning the NL Central. 1:53 - The Opener: Alonso Hits 30021:18 - Mets Fans' Fury Toward Stearns29:58 - Field Report: Dodgers in Cincinnati44:52 - Guardians Eye Division After White Sox Series48:48 - Around the League: Caminero for MVP?51:38 - Luzardo to the IL52:55 - Brewers Clinch the NL Central Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
Junior Caminero does it again. Rick and Steve open with last night's walk-off thriller — Caminero's second walk-off homer in four games, this one a 100-mph fastball flicked out to right field to beat the A's. That kicks off a full-throated MVP case for Caminero over Houston's Jordan Alvarez, and a look at how the surging Rays stack up historically, including a shot at 100 wins and the payoff of finishing first in the AL East rather than fighting through the wild-card round.From there, the guys turn to Chandler Simpson's breakout season — the speed-and-contact game that separates him from burner busts like Billy Hamilton — before shifting to football. The Bucs' loss to the Bengals gets a second look through a fan mailbag: listener Bob's blistering critique of rookie edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr.'s rough debut prompts a discussion of tough NFL matchups, Todd Bowles' rare public criticism, and why nobody should be written off after one game (see: Ronde Barber, Warren Sapp).The back half previews Lightning training camp, kicking off today with media day. Steve and Rick preview what to watch for — Nikita Kucherov entering the final year of his deal, Brayden Point's bounce-back summer, and the open questions on the blue line and power-play personnel ahead of the October 1st season opener.Segments:Junior Caminero's walk-off heroics and the case for AL MVPRays' playoff math, magic number, and why winning the division mattersChandler Simpson's unexpected All-Star-caliber yearMailbag: fallout from the Bucs' loss to Cincinnati, Reuben Bain Jr.'s debutLightning training camp preview: Kucherov's contract, Point's reset, D-pairing questionsSponsor: Breitling Boutique, International Plaza Hosted on Acast.

With two weeks left in the regular season, the postseason picture is starting to become a little clearer. However, in the American League, the picture is still a little murky, with multiple teams still in the mix in the division and Wild Card races. As five teams look to finish the season strong, which two will be the ones to get the coveted trip to the October dance?On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman take a look at the current state of the MLB postseason picture in the American and National Leagues. Will the Chicago White Sox be able to close out the AL Central, or will the Cleveland Guardians swoop in and take it from them? Can the Toronto Blue Jays, with a strong finish, find a way to make it four AL East teams in the postseason as they sit one game back in the Wild Card?Later in the show, Jake and Jordan examine the case for New York Yankees ace Cam Schlittler to win the AL Cy Young and AL MVP. After Yankees captain Aaron Judge made a comment about pitchers having their own award, is the MVP an award that pitchers should win? Also, can Cam hold off other strong candidates like the Houston Astros' Yordan Alvarez and the Tampa Bay Rays' Junior Caminero? 1:59 - The Opener: AL postseason update32:56 - Who will miss out in the NL?48:30 - We Need To Talk About: Schlittler for MVP?58:26 - Turbo Mode: Weekend recap Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
Four turnovers, three by Baker Mayfield, and the Bucs handed Cincinnati a game they had no business winning.Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick break down a brutal season-opening 33-27 loss in which Baker Mayfield lost three fumbles for the first time in his career — including one stripped into the end zone for a touchback and another where he held the ball nearly five seconds before getting sacked and stripped, despite left tackle Tristan Wirfs blocking his man 11 yards deep in the backfield. Add in a lost fumble from Bucky Irving, and Tampa Bay finished with four turnovers in a game Joe Burrow himself admitted should have been a blowout. Rick explains why this fits an uncomfortable pattern in Baker's career, contrasts it with Tom Brady's turnover-averse style, and breaks down why the defense — outside of rookie linebacker Josiah Trotter's historic debut (10 tackles, a sack, and a 34-yard pick-six, the first player ever to record a sack and a pick-six in his first NFL game) — couldn't get off the field when it mattered, with Alex Anzalone struggling badly and the pass rush managing just two combined tackles from Rueben Bain Jr. and Yaya Diaby.Rick and Steve also point to real bright spots — Chris Godwin's fresh legs, Emeka Egbuka's early looks before Cincinnati adjusted, and Ted Hurst's late-game flashes — and explain why "week one is a liar" before looking ahead to a desperate Browns team on Sunday. Then some much better news: the Rays clinched a playoff spot behind Junior Caminero's walk-off 40th home run, becoming the first team in MLB to punch its postseason ticket.

Baker Mayfield's new deal came together in about 48 hours — and he found out while he was at the movies with his kids.Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick go behind the scenes of how the Bucs and Baker Mayfield actually got the extension done: a Monday-night dinner text, a Tuesday call during a family trip to see Cars, and a deal that landed him in a three-way tie for third among NFL quarterbacks in average annual salary. They explain why there was never real animosity between Baker and GM Jason Light despite the "disrespectful" comments, why the Bucs' patience (the same approach that got Vita Vea signed) paid off, and why Baker's entire starting offensive line showed up to his press conference (Ben Bredesen's verdict: "phenomenal leader, phenomenal teammate"). They also use the NFL's chaotic opening night — Sam Darnold going down early for Seattle — to explain exactly what's riding on Tampa Bay's quarterback depth chart if Baker ever goes down behind him.Then it's over to the Rays, winners again in Atlanta (7-2) behind a dominant Griffin Jax outing, holding their four-game lead over the Yankees with the magic number down to 14. Rick and Steve break down why the Rays' remaining schedule is brutal compared to New York's, then dig into a mailbag question on why Chandler Simpson — hitting .300-plus with 41 steals against just 46 strikeouts, on a homecoming week in his native Atlanta — isn't getting more MVP buzz next to teammate Junior Caminero. Plus: the NFL's wild Wednesday-night opener (Drake Maye's three picks, Drew Lock's relief heroics), remembering former Lightning coach Barry Melrose, and why you should circle October 8th on your calendar for a potential four-sport Tampa Bay night.In this episode:How Baker Mayfield's $165M extension actually came together — in 48 hours, at a movie theaterWhy the entire Bucs offensive line showed up to his press conferenceThe QB depth chart: Jalen Daniels vs. Easton Stick if Baker goes downRays win again in Atlanta: Griffin Jax dazzles, magic number drops to 14Chandler Simpson's historic season and the Rays' MVP debate (mailbag)NFL opening night chaos: Sam Darnold's injury and Drake Maye's rough debutRemembering former Lightning coach Barry MelroseWhy October 8th could be a four-sport night in Tampa BaySend your mailbag questions to @SportsDayTB on X or email rstroud@tampabay.com.

Baker Mayfield just got paid — Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick break down every angle of his stunning new deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Five days before kickoff in Cincinnati, the quarterback who swore he was done negotiating got a call from the Bucs' front office and agreed to a three-year, $165 million extension through 2029 that lands him right in the Stafford-Lawrence-Allen tier of starting quarterbacks. Rick and Steve unpack how the deal is structured, why cooler heads prevailed after Baker's training-camp "disrespectful offer" comments, and why the real pressure starts now — Baker has just one playoff win as a Buc, and it's time for the wins to start piling up if he wants to be remembered for more than the paycheck.Then it's over to the Rays, who took game one in Atlanta 7-1 behind a strong start from Freddy Peralta and a monster night from the lineup: Junior Caminero's AL-leading 39th home run (in his literal hometown), Chandler Simpson's 40th stolen base, and homers from Yandy Diaz, Richie Palacios and Liam Hicks. Tampa Bay's magic number is down to 15 with an 18-games to play with a four-game lead over the Yankees, even as Taylor Walls heads to the IL. Plus: the NFL season finally kicks off tonight with a rematch of last year's Super Bowl, LSU's wild standoff with the SEC over roster rules, and Jameis Winston's new (and very self-aware) commercial.In this episode:Baker Mayfield's 3-year, $165M extension — deal structure, market comparisons, and what it means going forwardWhy Rick says the winning has to start now for BakerRays 7-1 win over the Braves: Caminero's homecoming homer, Simpson's 40-steal milestone, Peralta's hot streakTampa Bay's magic number, AL East lead, and where the Rays rank across MLBTaylor Walls to the IL, and how the Jorge Mateo pickup is paying offNFL Kickoff Night: Patriots-Seahawks previewLSU vs. the SEC: fallout from a wild roster showdownJameis Winston's DoorDash ad and his broadcasting future#TampaBayBucs #BakerMayfield #TampaBayRays #NFL #MLB Hosted on Acast.

Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick recap today's media avail with Bucs GM Jason Light, who revealed the call to make Jalen Daniels the number two quarterback was essentially made before he ever took a preseason snap — how quickly he absorbed the offense in practice sealed it, and his comeback wins over the Jets and Chiefs only confirmed it. Rick and Steve dig into just how rare, and risky, this is: undrafted rookie quarterbacks have started only 0.5% of possible games over the last decade, going a combined 10-19, and the move says as much about how unimpressed the Bucs were with the still-unsigned Jake Browning as it does about their faith in Daniels. They also cover the day's brutal roster churn — undrafted linebacker Caden Fordham made the 53, then was released hours later to open a spot for cornerback Kevin Knowles (claimed off waivers from the Chiefs), while pass rusher Jack Pyron, who'd racked up two sacks in the preseason finale alone and looked like their best defensive standout in camp, got scooped up by Kansas City. Plus, Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan sat out a bonus practice (nothing to worry about, per the team), and Rick previews a potential shootout at Cincinnati against Joe Burrow, teasing — again — the "weaker than you'd think" position group he'll finally reveal tomorrow.Then the Rays cruised past the Mets behind a strong start from Freddy Peralta, who shook off a leadoff homer to his old team's Francisco Lindor and settled in from there, allowing just two more hits. Tampa Bay's offense keeps rolling — Yandy Diaz, Chandler Simpson, Junior Caminero and Jonathan Aranda all sit among the AL's top nine hitters, and the Rays' team batting average leads all of baseball, four points better than the Dodgers and 11 points better than the next-closest AL club. Their magic number is down to 11 for a playoff spot and 20 to clinch the AL East, with the Yankees lead sitting around four and a half to five and a half games depending on how New York's late West Coast game with the newly-sold Angels shakes out.

Rock Riley opens up the phone lines and hears from Rays fans about what a new stadium could mean for the future of the franchise. If Tampa Bay gets the deal done, could the Rays finally lock up young stars like Junior Caminero long-term? Rock also takes a call from a fan worried about what happens if the stadium deal falls apart—and whether another opportunity will ever come around—while discussing reports that other markets have already shown interest in the current ownership group. Plus, Rock and Tim dive into the Rays' Fangraphs playoff and World Series odds!
A historic Friday on The Nick Wize Show as Rock Riley fills in for Nick Wize and takes listeners through one of the biggest days in Tampa Bay sports! With the Bucs closing out the preseason against Jacksonville, Rock debates which players—including Ted Hurst and Chris Braswell—have the most to gain or lose, while the Rays stadium vote takes center stage as fans call and text with excitement, skepticism, hope, and questions about the future of the franchise and stars like Junior Caminero. Rock and Tim discuss the potential consequences if the stadium deal had fallen apart and the Rays' playoff and World Series chances before the Hillsborough County Commissioners officially deliver a 5-2 victory for the new stadium! Ken Hagan joins the celebration to discuss how the deal got done and when the groundbreaking can really happen, while Rock and TKras close out the show by remembering all the stadium heartbreak, failed proposals, and even the possibility of Montreal before reflecting on how the new ownership group accomplished in just 10 months what the previous ownership never could: getting Tampa Bay one giant step closer to a brand-new home for the Rays!
TKras and Rays radio play-by-play announcer Andy Freed look back on the long road to finally getting the Rays' stadium deal across the finish line and what keeping the team in Tampa Bay means historically. With the regular season down to its final 30 games, they shift their attention to whether this Rays team is built to make a playoff run. Yandy Díaz's shoulder, Junior Caminero's recent power drought and the lack of production from the bottom half of the lineup are all under the microscope, while Andy previews the Padres series and looks forward to seeing how Chandler Simpson's elite speed challenges San Diego's defense.
TKras welcomes Tampa Bay Times Rays reporter Marc Topkin to break down the latest developments surrounding the Tampa City Council and the potential vote on the Rays' new stadium. They also turn their attention to the field, discussing Tampa Bay winning its series against the Tigers, Freddy Peralta's dominant outing, and the significance of Junior Caminero going 14 games without a home run. Plus, Topkin weighs in on whether the Rays could eventually turn to a six-man rotation as their pitching staff gets healthier.

Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick break down a strong finish for the Buccaneers in their second joint practice against the Jets, highlighted by an efficient Baker Mayfield, a two-minute drill touchdown to Cade Otten, and a defense that shut the door when it mattered. Rookies Ted Hurst and cornerback Ayden Garnes flash in big moments, while the guys also discuss the scary injury scare to Emeka Egbuka's toe and what it could mean for Tampa Bay's receiving corps heading into preseason play. They also preview Friday's preseason opener against the Jets and who's likely to sit.Then it's over to baseball, where the red-hot Rays just completed a historic 9-0 West Coast road trip — one of only two times in MLB history an East Coast team has swept a nine-game West Coast trip. Rick and Steve dig into Tampa Bay's spot atop the American League, Junior Caminero's chase for the home run title, new addition Jorge Mateo, Nick Martinez's complete-game gem, and why this Rays squad might be one of the most fun — and best — in franchise history.

Bucs-Jets Joint Practice Turns ChaoticRick Stroud recaps a joint practice between the Buccaneers and Jets that devolved into roughly six bench-clearing fights. The flashpoint: linebacker Luke Goedeke, who had been jawing with Jets rookie first-rounder David Bailey, appeared to take a cheap shot from another player and responded by ripping a helmet off an opponent's head and hurling it 15-20 yards downfield — an act Stroud says would draw an ejection and 15-yard penalty in a real game. Stroud expresses frustration that officials on hand didn't remove him, and that head coach Todd Bowles said he didn't personally witness the incident. Stroud draws a contrast to the Tony Dungy era, recalling how Dungy once sent Hardy Nickerson off the practice field for fighting. Despite the chaos, both hosts agree the underlying competitiveness was a positive sign, and note that team leaders eventually stepped in to calm things down. They expect calmer emotions at the next joint session, with coaches likely warning players against retaliatory penalties.Offensive Line Concerns Without WirfsWith All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs still out, Stroud says the drop-off is stark. He references last season's five-game stretch without Wirfs as evidence of how much the offense suffers. Elsewhere, the offense looked mixed — Bucky Irving ran well, Baker Mayfield mixed strong and shaky throws — while the defense dominated, generating multiple takeaways including a pick-six from Anzalone. Rookie Josiah Trotter continues to impress Stroud, who calls him a future star and pairs him with Rueben Bain Jr., as a young defensive foundation. Geno Smith struggled throughout for the Jets.Backup QB Injury ConcernsJake Browning, penciled in to start the preseason opener with Mayfield sitting out, tweaked his back late in practice and may not play, thrusting Connor Bazelak and Jalen Daniels into bigger preseason roles. Stroud is intrigued by Daniels' "quick-twitch" playmaking ability.Rays Riding Hot StreakShifting to baseball, the hosts marvel at the Rays' dominant road trip (up 12-2 in a game against Oakland as they record), including a Taylor Walls two-homer game and Junior Caminero's continued MVP-caliber season (tied for MLB home run lead). They discuss Caminero's uncertain contract timeline given the pending stadium situation, ownership change, and new CBA negotiations (including a possible five-year max-contract rule), and praise trade-deadline pickups Victor Mesa Jr. and improved outfield defense. Both hosts declare themselves believers in a Rays World Series run given their commanding AL lead. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
TORY HORTON sits down with Chuck. He's dealt with a lot of injuries over the last few years; how difficult has that been to deal with? How special is it having Cooper Kupp on this team as a leader and mentor? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - M is for MVP: tonight we face the Tampa Bay Rays and Junior Caminero… - N is for Not There as in Dan Wilson was not there yesterday, so we can't pin the 11-0 loss on him… or can we? - O is for Offense: yeah, we can talk about Dan's issues, but the big problem is the lack of offense. :45- Sup with you? The Mariners are celebrating the top 50 Mariners players this weekend, so we have to ask- who are the worst Mariners players of all time? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
