Podcasts about major leaguers

Guests are way back. In this episode, I sit down with my best—Chase Lambin is a former professional baseball player who spent 15 years chasing the Big League dream, and now coaches in the Texas Rangers organization.Chase gives us an inside peak at life in professional baseball, including stories I've never heard before. His Tracy McGrady story alone makes this episode worth tuning in.We get into my favorite part of having a buddy who coaches future Major Leaguers—the emotional aspect of players getting called up to the Big Leagues. For me, seeing a text vid of a call-up is like looking into my stocking on Christmas morning. If you're not still doing that, might be time to upgrade your S/O (but that's for a future solo ep).Chase tells the story of their most recent call-up, Blaine Crim, who, incidentally, is my new favorite player.Funny how you get older and pull for the 27-year old call-up you have some Kevin Bacon connection to. But when you were 9, you'd have used that rookie's baseball card in your tire spokes. Well, I'm older now, and would sooner use a Topps Justin Verlander to give my 4-year old's balance bike the vroom sound.We also discuss Chase's approach to parenting, coaching and maintaining perspective. He shares insights from his book The Hitters Handbook, and reflects on lessons learned from coaches and teammates throughout his career.Re baseball, we cover everything from 12-year old travel ball to Corey Seager riling up the Rangers in the playoffs because he got excited about a homerun (which he doesn't do often).There's a reason Chase & I have remained the best of buds since we met in 1994. Episodes where I have him on keep getting better!But yeah, that's not the reason.I'll just tell you that having a 'bestie' you've known since 9th grade, and getting to broadcast some our conversations with you beautiful MFs, is one of my great joys in life. At least in part, because you've told me you enjoy them too.

Join us as we sit side by side with Barry Lyons, a man whose story of triumph, downfall, and redemption is nothing short of a grand slam. Barry takes us through his journey from the diamond lights of major league baseball with the New York Mets to the dark nights of addiction. His candid recount of the high life that spiraled into substance abuse following his retirement and the wake of Hurricane Katrina is as humbling as it is powerful. His is a tale of a Christmas morning that marked rock bottom and the subsequent climb to recovery, fueled by renewed faith and a second chance at life.If you would like to share your story, click this link: https://thepromoter.org/story/ Thanks for Listening, and subscribe to hear a new episode each week!

Spencer Horwitz was destined to play professional baseball. His first word was “ball” and he excelled early on earning the opportunity to play in the prestigious Cape Cod Summer league at age 20. However, it was then that he experienced severe anxiety and panic evoking fear that he would never get drafted, and his baseball career and all his dreams would be over. With the support and validation of his family, he began the process of investing into both his physical and mental health. Drafted in 2019, he spent 4 years in the minors and finally made his MLB debut on June 18, 2023, earning his first hit on his very first at bat. Despite this early success, he also experienced early failure striking out in a key moment of an important game. Again, he hit a low spot not knowing when his next opportunity would come. Having struggled before, he knew that things could get low really quick but can also be high just as quick. The very next night, on September 3 he got that chance, reminded himself to “be on time and let it rip” and hit his first major-league home run (a solo shot) in a 7-5 win against the Colorado Rockies! Spencer uses his past experiences as learning experiences and continues to invest in his mind as much as his body consuming positive information, journaling daily, and checking in on those he loves “all the time.” While so many athletes operate out of fear, Spencer operates out of love identifying it is the number 1 thing that will overcome fear. @spencer_horwitz

The Los Angeles Angels recently let pitching prospect Chris Rodriguez be claimed off waivers by the Arizona Diamondbacks, ending what was a promising start to a young Angels career held back by injury. The Super Halo Bros. discuss the departure and how it opens up into a greater conversation; when it comes to draft picks, was Billy Eppler more successful, or has Perry Minasian taken over as the better GM in terms of drafting? Mike has a theory as to why C-Rod was so easily let go, and it has everything to do with the amount of time it's taken for some of the Eppler picks to develop into viable Major Leaguers. On today's show, we'll discuss C-Rod being waived, if Minasian has plans for any of Eppler's leftover prospects, and, are any of those picks, like Jo Adell, on the trading block?
