Some of the cool connections I've made in my career, have been the people that are within baseball but never played on the field with me. My guest today, Andy "Bull" Barch, was the play-by-play announcer for the West Virginia Power when I played there in 2009. He and I have always had a good relationship on and off the field so I decided to have him bring his years behind the mic, on the Too Tall Sports Podcast.Bull is originally from Cleveland and moved back there over the past few years. We discuss his years as a miserable Cleveland sports fan. The Browns, Indians and Cavaliers heart breaks, until the 2016 NBA Title. He spent his college years at Bowling Green University and eventually did play-by-play in the minor leagues after he graduated in the early 2000's.We discuss restructuring in the minor leagues and he has some interesting takes on how it may have been necessary although frowned upon by the public.The biggest fan of the West Virginia Power is this character who calls himself "The Toast Man". Bull has some great stories about his super fandom and how he used to roast and toast players during the homes games... You'll enjoy those for sure.Bull is currently the broadcaster for the Lake Erie Crushers and their season finally started in the independent Frontier League after a 2 year hiatus.Enjoy the episode with Bull and you can follow him here on Twitter:@theruleofbullFollow Me and SUBSCRIBE, LIKE and COMMENT on the Too Tall Sports Podcast:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOT1dawh_079qckq7OmFHAQInstagram: @tootallsportspodcastTwitter: @TooTallSportsFacebook Group: TooTallSportsPodcastApple Podcasts: Too Tall Sports PodcastSpotify: Too Tall Sports Podcasthttps://www.diamantenetwork.com/network/brettlorinPandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/too-tall-sports-podcast/PC:52128Email: tootallsportspodcast@gmail.com

Season 2 Episode 20 is out with “Stretch Talk”. What is exactly is “Stretch Talk”? If you have played high school or college sports you know that every day you stretch. Stretching can be one of the most routine things you will do on an everyday basis. After a couple weeks you become familiar on what you need to accomplish stretching wise and can do it in your sleep. During this time, you start to strike up conversations with your teammates. These talks turn into some of the weirdest conversations you will have in your life time. My guest this week is Karl Ellison. Karl played college baseball at Vanderbilt University and Lynn University. In 2019, he played for the Lake Erie Crushers out of the Frontier League. During 2020, Karl has been training at one of the best baseball facilities in the country, Cressey Sports Performance out of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. We talked about what it has been like training with big leaguers over the past couple months, how he finally feels “himself” on the baseball field, and how he his trying to plan the rest of 2020. Sit back, relax, and “Always Remember Be Yourself”.
Lake Erie Crushers owner Tom Kramig joined Baskin and Phelps to talked about the future of independent baseball in America.

In the second episode of BachTalk I am so excited to be talking to Karl Ellison as he gets ready to depart for his season with Lake Erie Crushers in the Frontier Independent Baseball League. Karl was always the catcher that I looked up to playing baseball and grow growing up in the Cincinnati area. He was always the catcher that you had to bring your "A" game to compete with. Karl has the kind of talent that allowed him to be recruited by Vanderbilt University. He has the kind of talent that put him in the position of catching the winning pitch in the College World Series in his freshman year play. After finishing his college career with truly impressive statistics at Lynn University in Florida he decided to take a break from playing while he considered coaching and what his next step would be. Please join me in hearing how Karl came back from injury to set himself up for success at the next level of play. Remember - Be yourself
