Podcast appearances and mentions of luis matos

Sounds outfielder Luis Matos joins Jeff Hem on the pregame show to discuss his time with the Brewers and Sounds so far after only ever playing in the Giants organization, the origin of his batting stance with his feet spread wide apart, and having his wife and daughter with him during the season instead of in Venezuela.

Sounds manager Rick Sweet joins Jeff Hem for his weekly pregame show appearance and discusses the team's huge comeback win the night before, the team's first-half playoff spot push with two weeks left before mid-season, the returns to the lineup during the series by Luke Adams, Brock Wilken and Greg Jones, and the outfield dynamic the past few weeks with additions of Luis Matos and Akil Baddoo alongside Luis Lara.

In this week's episode, Luis Matos-Tovar gives us a look into Judith Weir's The Black Spider, a children's opera that challenges gendered expectations of women dying and men surviving that is common in many traditional operas. Weir does this in a manner that is musically accessible to younger performers with a story that is playful, somber, and triumphant.This episode was produced by Zach Lloyd along with Team Lead Matthew Ferrandino. Special thanks to peer reviewers Colleen Renihan and Evan Ware.SMT-Pod's theme music was written by Maria Tartaglia, with closing music by Yike Zhang.

Sounds manager Rick Sweet joins Jeff Hem for his weekly pregame show appearance and discusses the recent Brewers rehab appearances by Jackson Chourio, Andrew Vaughn and Quinn Priester, the impressive week on both sides of the ball by Cooper Pratt, the approach and plate discipline of some of the young hitters, and the addition of outfielder Luis Matos to the lineup.

The Milwaukee Brewers' offense is on a power outage even by its own standards, and the bullpen has been unsteady at best. But the starters are still great, anchored by Kyle Harrison's virtuoso effort Sunday, so maybe the Brewers are in better shape than we think? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss what they can do (or can't) to help the offense, Luis Lara, Joey Ortiz, David Hamilton and other pain points in the offense. They discuss the plight of the arms, both the struggling relievers and shining starters. Why'd they cut ties with Luis Matos over Greg Jones? Could Tyler Black rediscover something with another opportunity? Is it really just injuries holding the offense back?In Three Up Three Down (38:30), they discuss a scary minor-league incident, Quinn Priester's struggles on rehab starts, a glorious triple and Blake Perkins' big moment. In Remembrew When (54:00), JR talks about another big-man triple and in Curt Blanche (56:30), Curt tries to understand an ages-old baseball trend. Then, JR is joined by Brandon Sproat (1:01:30), who's had back-to-back strong outings after a shaky start. They discuss his hometown in Pensacola, his bounceback, the struggles of his old teammates in New York, the difficult decisions to not sign after getting drafted, twice, and facing off with Paul Skenes and LSU in the College World Series.

The early returns remain positive for the Milwaukee Brewers, now out to a 7-2 start in 2026 after series wins against the Rays and Royals. Garrett Mitchell has a breakout game and confounds us still, the bullpen has been concerning a bit, and the rotation has been excellent (with one exception). Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe look back on the week and start with the most surprising story: An extension for prospect Cooper Pratt. Plus, newcomer Luis Matos and important Easter candy discourse.In Three Up Three Down (36:00), they discuss Milwaukee's newest pet tortoise, Bobby Jr., and the impulse purchase power of Pat Murphy, plus a very weird week for much-maligned umpire C.B. Bucknor in Milwaukee. Remembrew When (54:00) looks back at a more Easter-thematic Brewers/animal crossover during the days of the Rally Rabbit, and Curt Blanche ponders the NCAA Tournament and Wisconsin basketball (58:30).Then, JR sits down with new infielder David Hamilton (1:04:15), who returns to his old haunts at Fenway Park when the Brewers open a series there this week. They discuss his freak injury in college, his smooth transition to third base, and the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers jersey he wore when he was just a kid, years before he played with them for real.

Fantasy Baseball Live – January 25, 2026 – 3:00pmMicrosoft TeamsSegment 1 – News and Notes1.The Braves get bad news this week as Ha-Seong Kim suffered a hand injury and will miss at least the first half of the season. Are the Braves really going to battle with Mauricio Dubon at shortstop?a.If so, how much does his value increase?2.The White Sox finally trade Luis Roberts – moving him to the Mets IF/OF Luisangel Acuna and RHP Truman Pauleya.The deal felt a little light for me, but maybe Roberts is more famous than good, posting a sub .300 OBP the last two seasons. He did steal 33 bases in 2025. i.Does this give him a new lease with a chance to produce the 38-20 season he did in 2023, or was that just an outlier?ii.Acuna is slated to start in center field and if true, I'm assuming his draft value goes up?1.Stat line for 2026: AB, HR, SB, and BAiii.Let's compare the Mets lineup to the Dodgers.3.The Mets also acquired Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers from the Brewers for SS Jett Williams and RHP Brandon Sproat.a.WOW – huge trade as the Brewers once again move an ace pitcher with one more year of team control. However, unlike their 2024 deal to the Orioles for Corbin Burnes, they get two high-end prospects. Thoughts on the deal?b.Does Sproat start the season in the Brewers rotation? If not, when do you see him up?c.How long until Williams is in Milwaukee to either play shortstop or center field?4.The Rangers acquired MacKenzie Gore for five prospects – SS Gavin Fein, RHP Alejandro Rosario, 1B Abimelec Ortiz, SS Devin Fitz-Gerald, and OF Yeremy Cabreraa.This one is a quantity deal for the Nationals as only Ortiz is near-ready for the big leagues. What do you think of the deal?Segment 2 – Fantasy Questions of the NL WestLos Angeles Dodgers1.Andy Pages is a divisive player coming into 2026. He looked pretty good during the season, but in the playoffs, he was awful. He's the 29th outfielder off the board. Too high, too low, or just right?2.Does Dalton Rushing get enough at-bats to be rostered in 2026? His ADP is 403 (27th round).3.Hyesong Kim didn't play much last season, but is penciled into the starting second base position entering the 2026 season. Over/Under 30 home runs/stolen bases in 2026?a.His ADP is 443 – 39th second baseman off the board.4.One fallout of the Edwin Diaz signing is that Roki Sasaki will not start the season as the closer. He's listed as the Dodgers' 6th starter. He's the 79th pitcher off the board; let's call it a Top 60 pitcher. Does that feel good to you? Too high, too low?a.We will look at other pitchers going around where his is going.5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)San Diego Padres1.Jackson Merrill – 2026 stat line – AB, HR, SB, and BA2.Ramon Laureano finally broke the stigma of not being able to hit right-handed pitching. He posted the same batting average against both arms and hit 15 of his 24 home runs against right-handed pitching. After the trade to San Diego, he kept on hitting – 9 home runs in the last two months.a.Are you buying this breakout?b.The NBFC really isn't as he's the 55th outfielder off the board.3.I think I recall you willing to take a flyer on Sung Mun Song. Is that still your take?4.Joe Musgrove will cost you an 18th-round pick. Are you interested?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)San Francisco Giants1.Bryce Eldridge is listed as the starting DH in San Francisco. Will this play out?a.Over/Under 400 ABs in 20262.Will Drew Gilbert get enough playing time to make a difference in 2026?3.Luis Matos hit eight home runs in 57 games last season. He makes great contact with solid exit velocity and launch angle data. There's even average speed?a.Is he a little undervalued with an ADP of 600?4.Landen Roupp (417) or Kai-Wei Teng (627). Who would you rather draft in a Draft and Hold League?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Close

In “Waivers Central,” we share our top hitter and pitcher picks from the waiver wire. Maher recommends Davis Schneider and Jeffrey Springs, while Worm suggests adding Luis Matos and Cole Irvin to your roster.

Sadie has known Luis Matos for a long time, first meeting him in the Dominican Republic at an orphanage where he lived when he was 10 and she was 9. They really did “grow up like siblings” as Sadie and her family continued to visit the DR as much as they could and now many years later, Luis, his wife Brittany, and their son A.J. live in Louisiana right next to the Robertsons and Luis and Bella just graduated from Liberty University too! Luis shares how for most of his life, he didn't have a birth certificate which prevented him from being able to travel — and get legally married — but he always knew his identity was in Christ. You'll love this conversation and you'll be amazed at the goodness of God as you hear Luis and Brittany's story and always remember: God's timing is perfect!  Learn more about your ad choices.

Then, Jorge Castillo talks about his cousin, Luis Vázquez, getting called up to the Cubs, Edwin Diaz's toasted confidence, Aaron Judge lighting the world on fire, if the Yankees are as good as the top NL teams, and the perfect marriage between Juan Soto and the Yankees.
