Journalist Will Bardenwerper joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to discuss his new book, Homestand: Small Town Baseball and the Fight for the Soul of America, which explores the consequences of Major League Baseball cutting 40 affiliated minor league teams, each one only as expensive as an average Major League salary. He explains how the accessibility and affordability of minor league baseball has made it a unique gathering point for working-class communities like the one in Batavia, New York, where Bardenwerper followed the local team, the Muckdogs, for a season. He celebrates the traditions and resilience of the Muckdogs fans and owners, who revived the team after it was eliminated as a minor league franchise. He also reads from Homestand.  To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

We last recorded in between trades, but we break down the Yaz and Doval trades from last week. All in all, the Giants received eight players for the three they traded away, and with Yaz and Rogers being free agents of the end of the year, it made sense to exchange rentals for potential future talent. But, it is weird seeing Yaz in Royal Blue, Rogers in the throwback Mets unis, and Doval in Yankee grey. Posey also played with all three, and he admitted it was tough making that phone call to his former teammates. As far as their performance on the field, they followed up a horrible 0-6 homestand with a 4-2 road record against the same Mets and Pirates. With the focus on the future seasons, no one is holding their breath that the Giants will make a run at the wildcard, a position they solidly held for the entire season until a few weeks ago. That said, it will be a good opportunity to showcase new blood in the majors and minors. Bryce Eldridge is HOT in Sacramento, blasting four bombs in his last three games, but Posey said they aren't rushing him up. And...the first female umpire in MLB history will be working the plate during the second game of a double header this Sunday in Atlanta. It's crazy that this hasn't happened sooner, especially with female officials in the NBA and NFL. We also ponder what happened to LaMonte Wade Jr's ability to hit a baseball, as he was released by the Angels over the weekend. Late night LaMonte might have had his last day in the majors.www.torturecast.com@torturecastfacebook.com/torturecast

Never Give Up on Your Dream... How Baseball and More can Teach us Lessons That Can Encourage Us to Keep Pursuing our Dreams in both Life and Business. What if the path to your biggest dreams wasn't found in swinging for the fences, but in mastering the little things? On the next episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we welcome Joel Goldberg, Emmy Award-winning broadcaster, television host, and veteran reporter who travels with the Kansas City Royals. Known for his front-row seat to Major League Baseball's highs and lows, Joel has spent decades learning not just about the game — but about the people who play it, and the everyday habits that create lasting success. Joel's latest book, Small Ball Big Dreams, takes readers inside the clubhouse and behind the curtain, sharing stories from professional athletes, business leaders, and high performers who've built elite cultures by focusing on what he calls “the small ball” — the consistent, intentional, behind-the-scenes efforts that don't always make the highlight reel, but win championships on and off the field. In this episode, we'll explore how values like trust, preparation, resilience, and human connection can radically transform organizations, teams, and lives. As Joel shares, greatness isn't built on grand gestures — it's found in the morning routines, the hard conversations, the extra reps, and the way leaders show up every single day. From World Series-winning clubhouses to Fortune 500 boardrooms, Small Ball Big Dreams reminds us that culture isn't something you declare — it's something you live, one small action at a time. ⚾ Join us  for a conversation that blends baseball wisdom, leadership insight, and practical takeaways for anyone chasing big dreams. Whether you're a fan of the game or just ready for a new direction in your life, this is one episode you won't want to miss! Joel Goldberg's book, "Small Ball Big Dreams", is an absolute gem.  Because of his career as an announcer and all his radio and TV travels, Joel interviews many of the stars that you know, and many that you don't know. But in every interview there are valuable lessons for staying with your dream, becoming a better leader, and living a better life. The book really emphasizes that your life is not a straight path.  It will have obstacles, challenges, and at time discouragement.  In fact, what you initial thought you were set out to do, may in fact change and that change with the right attitude, effort, and resiliency will prove to be more fulfilling and serve a great purpose than what you could have ever imagined. When I finished reading the book, I was challenged, but more so, I was inspired!  What will be the next challenge that will push me to my new direction?  What do I need to let go of, that I will become the person with a life that impacts others.  Perhaps former Major League umpire Te Bennett summed it up best, "You have got to look at yourself in the mirror, and ask, 'what can I do better?'."

After the Giants defeated the Dodgers on June 13, they were tied for first place in the NL West with LA and held the 4th best record in baseball. Since that time, they have been the worst team in baseball (yes, even worse than the Colorado Rockies), going 13-26 and plummeting out of the playoff race. They had an 0-6 homestand, something the Giants haven't done since 1898! They've lost 12 of 14. They are nine games out of the west and six behind in the wild card. They also have the worst record since the Devers trade. So, what went wrong? How did one of the best teams in baseball in mid-June suddenly implode? You can certainly point to situational hitting. The Giants went 0-22 with runners in scoring position during the Mets sweep at home. Untimely bullpen moves seems to be Melvin's calling card, yet he was signed to a one year extension in the middle of this slump. Pitching has gotten worse with a 4.35 team ERA during this stretch, and they've been outscored 4.9 to 3.7 on average. The silver lining to this is that the collapse happened so quickly, that Buster Posey could pivot from being buyers to sellers. They started the sale by trading fan-favorite Tyler Rogers to the Mets for three players. It's a two-month rental for the Mets and there's a good chance that the Giants re-sign Rogers for 2026. The deadline is this evening, so we'll see if the Giants can fleece another desperate team for an arm and maybe this season won't be a complete waste. The three of us break it down in this eulogy of the 2025 season.www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast

Partway through the episode, we received the heartbreaking news that Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg has passed away at the age of 65.

How can the Red Sox add without changing the dynamic of the clubhouse

Justin Fields dislocates toe, Kyle Teel hits his first Major League home run, Packers unveil new throwback uniforms, Clip du Jour

Sam Kennedy says the Red Sox want to add pitching along with help at catcher and first base at the trade deadline. Rob Bradford thinks the Sox will be aggressive at the deadline, and would be fine dealing any prospect in the system for help at the Major League level.

Steve Phillips and Buster talk all things trade deadline, including matching buyers, if the Rafael Devers trade ate up the San Francisco Giants' flexibility, how the Seattle Mariners will get involved, managing up and down the org chart as a general manager, what “all in” means for the Blue Jays, if Emmanuel Clase will be available, the New York Mets needing to fortify the bullpen, why the Minnesota Twins should trade Royce Lewis, and why Steve's bullish on the Cincinnati Reds. Then, Tim Kurkjian talks about not knowing what to expect from Ichiro Suzuki's Hall of Fame speech, Tim's moment with Johnny Bench at the Hall, a game ending on a catcher's interference call, the Milwaukee Brewers two-month tear and Toronto changing Buster's mind. Later, Jake Peavy discusses Tarik Skubal getting guys out in the box and what the Phillies are missing.

In this week's Born to Watch, the lads swing for the fences with their deep dive Moneyball (2011) Review. Whitey, Dan on the Land, and Will “The Worky” take to the mound to dissect why this unconventional baseball flick, starring Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, continues to resonate over a decade later.From the get-go, it's clear this isn't your typical sports movie review. The team kicks off with backyard renovations, foot fetish tangents, and a laugh-out-loud discussion on the bizarre world of Japanese vending machines, classic Born to Watch territory. But once they find their groove, it's all baseball, banter, and brilliance.Moneyball, based on the true story of Oakland A's GM Billy Beane, gets the full pod treatment. The trio wax lyrical about Pitt's understated performance, Hill's against-type turn as the socially awkward numbers guy, and Philip Seymour Hoffman's quietly simmering portrayal of sceptical coach Art Howe. Whitey makes the case for this being one of Pitt's finest performances, yes, even better than his Oscar-winning turn in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Dan and Will aren't far behind in their praise, though they're quick to point out the poetic license the film takes with some of its real-life counterparts.Of course, it wouldn't be Born to Watch without the gang tackling the “overs and unders.” Will throws a curveball with a surprisingly low watch count, while Whitey admits he's clocked in over 40 viewings. Dan, as always, brings the analytical fire, no surprise for a man who appreciates Michael Lewis' storytelling DNA, also behind The Big Short.The trio also tackles one of the episode's core questions: Why are baseball movies so damn good? Is it the history? The romance? The slower pace that allows for actual acting? Whatever the formula, it works. From The Natural and Field of Dreams to Major League and Bull Durham, the guys rattle off their favourites with the kind of passion you only get from true movie lovers.There's also an appreciation for the film's dry, cerebral tone. Unlike other sports flicks that rely on big plays and locker room speeches, Moneyball thrives on boardroom tension, Excel spreadsheets, and quiet moments of doubt. Yet somehow, it's riveting. It's a film about math, risk, and the emotional cost of change, and yet it's as compelling as any game-winning homer.Listeners are treated to the usual podcast hallmarks: mock trailers, roast reviews (with one critic thoroughly torn apart), and a beautifully read back-of-the-DVD synopsis that outshines the studio blurb. Whitey's disdain for the critic who panned the movie is particularly entertaining, while Dan gives a thoughtful defence of Moneyball's cinematic liberties.The episode also veers into classic BTW chaos. There's a spirited debate on the merits of Jack and Jill (spoiler: there are none), a nostalgic dive into The Inbetweeners as a sleeper hit of 2011, and an epic sidetrack into surfing journalism and Jonah Hill's transformation from comedy darling to surf-culture punching bag. It's podcast whiplash in the best possible way.As always, the “Ordinary People” segment stands out, offering a nuanced examination of the film's characters and the performances that bring them to life. The pod pays homage to Philip Seymour Hoffman, laments Jonah Hill's real-life reputation despite his on-screen brilliance, and even finds time to praise an uncredited Spike Jonze cameo that nearly steals the film.In the end, Moneyball gets the respect it deserves, a deeply human story wrapped in a sports movie shell. For the Born to Watch crew, it's not just about baseball; it's about challenging the system, betting on the misfits, and finding magic in the margins.So whether you're a sabermetrics savant or just love a good underdog story, this episode is a must-listen.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts!Join the conversation:Is Moneyball the smartest sports movie ever made?Could you build a winning team with just data?And is Brad Pitt's Billy Beane his most underrated role?#BornToWatch #Moneyball #BradPitt #JonahHill #BaseballMovies #Sabermetrics #SportsMovies #FilmPodcast #AaronSorkin #MichaelLewis #PhilipSeymourHoffman #UnderdogStory #MovieNight

Jeremy Evans, founder of California Sports Lawyer and past president of the California Lawyers Association, joins Amanda Arriaga and Lynette Paczkowski on the second episode of Leading the Bar, the podcast from the National Conference of Bar Presidents designed to help lawyers engage and grow as leaders. Evans shares insights from helping lead the creation of CLA after its historic separation from the State Bar of California, explaining why voluntary bar associations are uniquely positioned to focus on education and advocacy. He reflects on how his passion for sports—including visiting all 30 Major League ballparks—helped shape his career, and encourages lawyers to think deeply about their goals and embrace the courage it takes to pivot. Evans also discusses how bar leaders can stay connected to their members, avoid mission drift, and balance the personal and professional benefits of volunteer leadership. This episode offers practical lessons for any lawyer interested in building meaningful relationships, creating positive change, and leading with purpose.

Send us a textEver wonder what happens when a Major League manager storms the field to argue a call? For Clint Hurdle, former Pittsburgh Pirates and Colorado Rockies manager, one such confrontation led to an unexpected humbling when an umpire refused to eject him, saying "I've had to watch this horrible baseball for four days. You're going to have to watch it too." It's just one of many candid insights Hurdle shares in this revealing conversation.After spending decades in professional baseball, Hurdle now serves as special assistant to the Rockies' general manager, working with minor league affiliates and developing young talent. He calls it "probably one of the best jobs I've ever had—it just took me 45 years to get it." This role allows him to maintain family balance while sharing his baseball wisdom with the next generation.Hurdle's coaching philosophy centers on making practice more challenging than games. Drawing from NBA coach Steve Kerr's experience guarding Michael Jordan in practice, Hurdle advises players to "trust the reps, work as hard as you can in practice so you can actually play in the game." He emphasizes connecting with players by finding common interests outside baseball—what he calls "coins"—creating relationships that transcend the sport.On baseball's analytical evolution, Hurdle positions himself between traditions and innovations: "It's not old school versus new school, let's all be in school." This hybrid approach helped him navigate Pittsburgh's analytics-driven front office while maintaining his baseball instincts. He appreciates data's objectivity while acknowledging human development requires emotional intelligence.Whether discussing coachability, parent relationships in high school sports, or small-market team challenges, Hurdle brings perspective shaped by almost five decades in baseball. His insights extend beyond strategy to the human elements that make baseball special. For coaches at any level looking to improve their approach, connect with players, or navigate baseball's changing landscape, Hurdle's wisdom is invaluable.Support the show Follow: Twitter | Instagram @Athlete1Podcast Website - https://www.athlete1.net Sponsor: The Netting Professionals https://www.nettingpros.com

In this hour of Live Bet Sunday, Scott Seidenberg updates today's MLB games. Plus, Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers joins the show to discuss what to expect t in Major League baseball after the All-Star Break.

For generations, the only sounds at a Major League ballpark were the crowd, the crack of the bat, or the slap of a ball smacking a glove. Then in 1941, we got organs, and an historical journey began. With music, fans were more engaged than ever... and in 1970, one woman joined the Chicago White Sox and brought her musical skill and razor wit to the keys. Thanks to Nancy Faust, inventor of the walk-up song, baseball changed forever. Learn with us, laugh with us, deal with fluctuating E with us. We get into Sinners and more in the MouthGarf Report... and of course, we play some I See What You Did There!Sources:https://www.wbur.org/onlyagame/2016/04/30/organ-mlb-historyhttps://www.mlb.com/cut4/the-complete-history-of-the-walk-up-songhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Fausthttps://www.mlb.com/news/organist-nancy-faust-returning-to-play-selected-games-for-white-soxPlease give us a 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts! Want to ask us a question?

Patrick Bailey's walk-off inside-the-park homerun on Tuesday night is something that will be burned into Giants' lore for decades to come. Pagan's similar feat happened 12 years ago, and we still talk about it. This one was better. We open the episode discussing Bailey's round-tripper and how the Giants have picked themselves up after a horrific streak to end June. Getting swept at home by the Marlins and losing two of three to the lowly White Sox put them 9 games behind their rivals, but since then, they have won 6 of 8 and the Dodgers have lost 6 in a row, closing the gap to 5 games. Three Giants pitchers were selected to the All Star Game (Webb, Ray, Rodriguez) and the mid-summer classic will feature the ABS challenge system, which is eventually coming to the big leagues. Although Devers has been meddling in mediocrity since coming to SF (.225/2/9), Adames seems to be waking up, hitting .313 with a .910 OPS over the last 2 weeks. Justin Verlander is flummoxed, and although he isn't having a great year, it's not catastrophic. Even a pitcher with his stats (4.70 ERA, 1.41 WHIP) should have a couple of wins on a winning team. Yet, he is winless in 15 Giants starts. He'll tie the MLB record if he doesn't win his next start. However, the pen has blown 6 leads for him, and he has the second-worst run support of any starting pitcher in the bigs (26 runs in 15 starts). Heading into LA is big. The set up the rotation with Webb, Roupp, and Ray, but the Dodgers counter with May, Ohtani, and Yamamoto. They will be anywhere between 2 and 8 games back of the Dodgers after this series, a huge potential swing. www.torturecast.comfacebook.com/torturecast@torturecast

Brandon Woodruff returned to a big-league mound for the first time in more than 1.5 seasons, and the early returns were excellent. His winning showing against Miami capped a 3-3 road trip as Milwaukee heads into the final week before the all-star break. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss that outing, the first shaky performance from Jacob Misiorowski (and levels of concern), all-star Freddy Peralta, what's next for Chad Patrick and the injury to Rhys Hoskins bringing about the dawn of the Andrew Vaughn era. In Three Up Three Down (42:30), they discuss a chilly reaction between a pitcher and infielder, the team's trouble stealing bases, and the continued struggles of William Contreras. In Remembrew When (1:04:15), JR revisits an iconic Woodruff moment. Curt Blanche takes aim at a holiday staple (1:09:45). Then, JR catches up with infield coach Matt Erickson (1:14:45), one of the few Wisconsinites on the Brewers' Major League staff. He talks about his unique big-league career and his time as long-tenured Timber Rattlers manager in his Appleton hometown. Music intro from bensound.com.
