Griffin Warner talks betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner runs through a full board of Major League Baseball lines on the July 21st episode of What I Bet, part of the Straight Out of Vegas AM podcast feed, working game by game across a slate that stands as the only major action on the calendar with the World Cup finished and European soccer still weeks away. He opens by noting a strong recent run of picks, then works through a value spot on the Dodgers as a plus-money road underdog in Philadelphia against Zach Wheeler, a Twins-Guardians rematch in Cleveland following a five-home run outburst, a look at Bubba Chandler and the Pirates catching a diminished Yankees lineup in the Bronx, and a plan to keep fading a struggling Kevin Gausman in Toronto. He breaks down why the Orioles carry value in Boston against a Red Sox club working a starter back from injury, why the Padres are getting more plus-money than expected in Atlanta, and how a Brandon Sproat storyline shapes his lean in the Mets-Brewers total. He spends extended time explaining why he wants nothing to do with the San Francisco Giants' defense in Kansas City, along with looks at the Tigers, Marlins, White Sox, a massive total in Colorado, a first-five under in Anaheim, and continued concerns about the Seattle offense heading into a matchup with Cincinnati. Along the way he details a promo code offering listeners a discount on his season-long Major League Baseball coverage. The episode closes with his Best Bet of the show, a play on the Kansas City Royals built around fading the Giants entirely, capping a detailed, game-by-game walkthrough of everything moving on the baseball board that day.

What if your greatest setback could become the foundation for your biggest comeback? Every entrepreneur will face adversity—but the ones who succeed are those who refuse to let failure define them. In this episode of 365 Driven, host Tony Whatley sits down with former Major League Baseball player, motivational speaker, actor, performance coach, and entrepreneur Daryl Jones. After being drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals out of high school and reaching the Major Leagues, Daryl appeared to be living the dream. But career-ending injuries, personal struggles, financial hardship, and losing everything forced him to reinvent himself from the ground up. Today, he inspires audiences through public speaking, coaches young athletes, and continues building a career in film while helping others develop confidence and resilience. In this powerful conversation, Tony and Daryl explore what it takes to rebuild your identity after losing the career or business you thought would define your life. Daryl shares the emotional realities of transitioning from professional sports, overcoming depression, addiction, and setbacks, and ultimately choosing to take responsibility for creating a better future. His story is a reminder that success isn't about avoiding failure—it's about deciding to keep moving forward when everything around you falls apart. Business owners will also gain practical leadership lessons on building confidence through small, repeatable actions, focusing on strengths instead of weaknesses, and embracing the struggles that inevitably come with growth. Tony and Daryl discuss why confidence is built through consistent action, how great coaches position people to maximize their unique abilities, and why simplicity often creates the greatest momentum when you're feeling stuck. The conversation also dives into public speaking, personal branding, networking, acting, and the importance of continually reinventing yourself as new opportunities arise. Whether you're recovering from a major setback, navigating uncertainty in your business, or simply looking for the motivation to take your next step forward, this episode will remind you that your past doesn't determine your future. Sometimes your greatest comeback begins the moment you decide to stop looking backward and start building what's next. Key highlights: From Major League Baseball to public speaking and acting. How to rebuild your life after career-ending setbacks. Why confidence is built through small, consistent actions. The power of focusing on your strengths instead of your weaknesses. Leadership lessons from sports that apply to business. Turning failure into fuel for your next chapter. Reinventing yourself after losing your identity. How resilience creates long-term success.

Hour 1 of The Drive starts with a deep dive into Illinois Football's 2026 schedule as Kurtis Allen and Pierce "The Fierce" Intern break down every game, identify the toughest stretches, discuss potential trap games, and project where the Illini could finish in the Big Ten race. The guys then recap the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final after Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in extra time to claim its second World Cup championship. They discuss Spain's dominant tournament run, Ferran Torres' match-winning goal, Lionel Messi's emotional final World Cup appearance, and what the victory means for the future of international soccer. Next, attention shifts to Major League Baseball after the Cardinals suffered a brutal collapse, blowing a 7-0 lead against the Diamondbacks. Kurtis and Pierce examine what went wrong, question the bullpen's reliability heading toward the trade deadline, and debate what the loss means for St. Louis' playoff hopes. The hour wraps up with one of the funniest intern moments yet, as Pierce stuns everyone by revealing he doesn't actually know his grandpa's name.

Ford Frick's name may be familiar to baseball fans, but his story — and his impact on the game — have largely faded from view. Yet for more than four decades, Frick occupied a front-row seat to some of the most transformative moments in baseball history, first as a journalist and publicist, then as National League president and ultimately as Major League Baseball's third commissioner. This week, we're joined by author Dave Bohmer, whose new book, "Ford Frick: Baseball's Third Commissioner and His Four Decades of Shaping the Game," offers a fresh and compelling reassessment of one of the sport's most misunderstood executives. Drawing on extensive archival research, Bohmer argues that Frick was far more than a caretaker commissioner, emerging instead as a pivotal figure whose influence can be found throughout the development of the modern game. Together, we explore Frick's unlikely rise from newspaper reporter to one of baseball's most powerful figures, his leadership during the Great Depression and World War II, his involvement in the creation of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and his stewardship during an era that saw Jackie Robinson break baseball's color barrier, franchises move west, television reshape the business of sports, and expansion transform the major leagues. We also examine the controversies that continue to define Frick's legacy — from the Roger Maris home run debate to longstanding perceptions that he served owners more than the game itself—and discuss why Bohmer believes history has understated his influence on the sport he helped shape. + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY BUY THE BOOK:  "Ford Frick: Baseball's Third Commissioner and His Four Decades of Shaping the Game": https://amzn.to/4yKveQq SPONSOR THANKS:  Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.royalretros.com/?ref=SEATS Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Griffin Warner returns with a new episode of the What I Bet Podcast on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed from the Pregame.com Podcast Network, diving into a loaded Friday, July 17th Major League Baseball card while riding a strong recent stretch of 5 and 2 in his last 7 picks, 7 and 3 in his last 10, and 10 and 5 in his last 15. The episode opens with an early matinee between the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox, featuring Griffin Jax against rookie left hander Jake Bennett, before moving into the marquee matchup of the night as the Los Angeles Dodgers visit the New York Yankees with Roki Sasaki opposing Gerrit Cole, a game complicated by the possible absence of Shohei Ohtani and the continued absence of Aaron Judge. Warner works methodically through the rest of the card, breaking down Jared Jones against Gavin Williams as the Pittsburgh Pirates travel to face the Cleveland Guardians, a matchup that becomes central to the episode. He also covers Anthony Kay and the first place Chicago White Sox against Spencer Miles and the Toronto Blue Jays, Cal Quantrill and the Texas Rangers against a red hot Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves, and Sandy Alcantara leading the Miami Marlins against Logan Henderson and the Milwaukee Brewers. From there, Warner turns to Bailey Ober and the Minnesota Twins against Colin Rea and the Chicago Cubs, citing possible wind conditions at Wrigley Field, along with Dean Kremer and the Baltimore Orioles against Peter Lambert and a Houston Astros bullpen bolstered by the return of closer Josh Hader. He continues through Michael King and the San Diego Padres against Seth Lugo and the Kansas City Royals, Brady Singer and the Cincinnati Reds against Gabriel Hughes and the Colorado Rockies, Troy Melton and the Detroit Tigers against Reid Detmers and the Los Angeles Angels, Cade Cavalli and the Washington Nationals against Gage Jump and an Athletics club currently playing in Sacramento, and closes the card breakdown with Landen Roupp and the San Francisco Giants against a surging Bryce Miller and the Seattle Mariners. Along the way, Warner shares a major promotional code, base25, offering 25 percent off any purchase at Pregame.com including his own season long MLB All Access package, dropping the price from 349 dollars to 262 dollars before the offer expires on July 27th, while noting he is up 21 and a half units of MLB profit on the season. The episode closes with Warner's official best bet, backing the Cleveland Guardians and Gavin Williams at minus 129 after building his case around Cleveland's pitching depth and bullpen advantage over Pittsburgh throughout the show.

Canadian wildfire smoke is blanketing Chicago and stretching all the way to New York, and Brian From turns the haze into a parable: the decisions we make set off domino effects that ripple far beyond us, affecting people we love and people we'll never meet. Then a personal update — his son's summer baseball team won their league championship in what turned out to be the last game before he heads to college, and his daughter returns tomorrow from five weeks of intensive Arabic study in Washington DC before a nine-month Fulbright scholarship in the fall. Life is moving. Last night's ESPYs honored a Michigan missionary who pitched in Major League Baseball — a story about what happens when fame and faith intersect in unexpected ways. A meditation on contentment drawn from Philippians 4 and a Gospel Coalition piece on the abundant life. And a closing sermon preview from Brian's role as campus pastor at Compass Church's Hinsdale location, centered on one of the most obscure and haunting figures in the New Testament: Demas. He's mentioned twice as part of Paul's team — and then disappears, described in 2 Timothy 4 as having "loved the present world" and deserted Paul entirely. Brian's challenge: the goal of the Christian life is not to start well. It's to finish well. Don't be Demas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Tapping The Keg Podcast, hosts Charlie and Mitch cover everything happening in Wisconsin sports right now. Milwaukee Brewers Second-Half Preview: The Brewers enter the second half of the 2026 season at 59-37, holding the second-best record in all of Major League Baseball and a five-game lead over the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central. We break down what's gone right in the first half, the pitching questions surrounding Brandon Woodruff and Kyle Harrison, and what Milwaukee needs to address before the trade deadline to make a real push in the second half. Is Jordan Love Underrated? ESPN's annual quarterback rankings left Jordan Love off the top 10 entirely, with Jared Goff and Caleb Williams grabbing the final two spots ahead of him. We break down how Love stacks up against quarterbacks like Drake Maye, Matthew Stafford, and Dak Prescott, and make the case for why the Packers QB deserves more respect heading into 2026. Brayden Burries Summer League Hype: The Milwaukee Bucks' No. 10 overall pick has been one of the biggest breakout stars of NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, averaging over 22 points per game on efficient shooting. We discuss why Burries is looking like a steal for Milwaukee's new era and what it means for the Bucks' rebuild. Our Pittsburgh Trip: Charlie and Mitch recap their trip to Pittsburgh to catch the Brewers take on the Pirates — the ballpark, the city, and everything that came with it. Subscribe to Tapping The Keg Podcast for weekly Wisconsin sports talk covering the Brewers, Packers, Bucks, and everything in between.

Shaun Morash wants Major League Baseball to bring real stakes back to the All-Star Game by once again awarding World Series home-field advantage to the winning league. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and he argues that the change would keep stars involved, create late-game strategy and prevent baseball's showcase from drifting toward Pro Bowl irrelevance. Tiki sees the appeal but questions whether a team with baseball's best record should lose home field because of an exhibition result. Callers weigh in, including a fan who attended All-Star festivities and agrees that the Home Run Derby delivered far more excitement than the game itself.
