En esta entrevista exclusiva, hablamos con Yunieski Gurriel, ex pelotero cubano y actual coach de bateo, sobre la evolución del bateo y las nuevas tecnologías que están transformando la manera en que los jugadores entrenan. Yunieski nos cuenta sobre su carrera en Cuba, la influencia de su familia en el béisbol y el motivo por el cual decidió convertirse en coach de bateo, a pesar de que su juego destacaba más por la defensa.También profundizamos en Pina Power, su centro de entrenamiento, y en cómo trabaja con los jugadores para mejorar su ofensiva. Nos explica el uso de las nuevas máquinas de bateo y cómo han cambiado los entrenamientos con el paso del tiempo. Además, aborda conceptos clave como “quedarse atrás y entrar rápido en la zona”, los errores más comunes que ve en los bateadores y la importancia de contar con un coach, incluso en el más alto nivel.Conversamos sobre el uso de estadísticas avanzadas en el bateo y cuáles podrían estar sobrevaloradas, su enfoque personalizado con cada jugador y cuál considera la clave para la consistencia ofensiva. También nos habla de su experiencia entrenando a grandes figuras como Mauricio Dubón, Yuli y Yunito Gurriel, Randy Arozarena, Jeremy Peña, JC Escarra y Ezequiel Tovar, y nos revela qué joven talento lo ha impresionado más en esta offseason.

Houston Astros rookie Zach Dezenzo joins The Matt Thomas Show ahead of a three-game road series against the Boston Red Sox. Dezenzo made his Major League debut Tuesday versus the Texas Rangers and went 0-for-4; however, in the following game, the infielder was positioned at first base and went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk. "I'm still trying to take it all in," but "I feel a little bit more settled in now," Dezenzo said. The Astros have struggled with consistent production at first base, as seen with the release of veteran Jose Abreu on June 14 and platooning between Jon Singleton and Mauricio Dubón. "I feel like I can get the job done" at first base, and "I understand the importance of my role on this team." Dezenzo was selected in the 12th round from Ohio State in the 2022 MLB Draft and spent only 11 games at Triple-A, splitting time between third base and first base. "It's definitely unique, and there's an art to" working around the bag at first. Dezenzo also tells the story of how he found out he got promoted, recalls attending athlete bible study with Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, signing the "Green Monster" at Fenway Park and more.

Houston Astros manager Joe Espada joins The Matt Thomas Show following an off-day that "couldn't have come at a better time," Espada said. The Astros are in Chicago on Tuesday to begin a three-game road series against the White Sox. Justin Verlander was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday due to neck discomfort. The Astros hoped Verlander would return to the mound Thursday for the final game of the series against the White Sox, but Espada is not optimistic as Verlander is progressing "slower than what we expected." The Astros will "see how [Verlander] feels today and then we'll go from there," and a stint on the injured list is "something we'll definitely consider," Espada said. As the Astros continue to struggle with injuries to the starting pitching staff, Espada says MLB should "figure out what's really causing these injuries" across the league. This is "something we should all look at as an industry." With Verlander''s recovery timeline uncertain, the Astros are hopeful Luis Garcia and and Lance McCullers Jr. will return to the mound this season. Garcia is "throwing live BPs," and McCullers "is here with us in Chicago," but "Luis is ahead of Lance right now." Jose Abreu was released from the Astros roster Friday, and Jon Singleton and Mauricio Dubón have been "getting a lot of those looks" at first base. "We are looking for production." Espada also talks about Jeremy Peña having "to grind through" the "ups and downs of the season," and Kyle Tucker recovering from a shin injury.

Ross Villarreal of The Matt Thomas Show and Dan Mathews of The A-Team go live from CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches in Florida as the second day of full-squad workouts conclude for the Houston Astros at spring training. Utility player Mauricio Dubón, pitching prospect Spencer Arrighetti, catching prospect Luke Berryhill and manager Joe Espada all join the show to give their latest updates and share experiences from Astros spring training.
Houston Astros utility player Mauricio Dubón joins The Matt Thomas Show from spring training at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches in Florida to talk about his role on the roster ahead of the regular season. At the beginning of the 2023 schedule, Dubón took over as the starter at second base after Jose Altuve fractured his thumb in the World Baseball Classic, but as the season progressed, Dubón also started at center field, left field, shortstop and first base. Dubón says he will continue to play where he is needed "as long as [he] gets to hit in the first nine." Dubón's efforts in the 2023 season were rewarded with his first career Rawlings Gold Glove at the utility position, and he was also nominated for a Gold Glove at second base. "I cried when they told me I won," Dubón said. "I was not a prospect right away," so "it hasn't been an easy road for me."

It was a “pretty fun day” for Stephen Vogt, named manager for the Guards, less so for David Ross in the surprise loss of his CHI gig, and downright polarizing in regards to Craig Counsell's historic contract prompting another manager to muse about unionization. The Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards lead Mauricio Dubón for multiple Honduran firsts, Ha Seong Kim to a first for Asian-born MLB players, and a Pottymouth first as she finally remembered to vote for Platinum Glove. We ponder the steady increase in Tommy John surgeries (more diagnoses or more stress on arms?) and consider staying away from where GMs gather to avoid stomach bugs. Oakland's mayor incorporates swag and economic greed in her appeal to owners to vote against an A's move to Vegas. Nelson Cruz concludes his LIDOM farewell tour in time for Citifield to welcome Los Tigres del Licey and Las Águilas Cibaeñas for a three game series to packed houses.

Last time on "Get in the Game," Houston Astros infielder Mauricio Dubón shared about how Water Mission and St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright together made a life-changing difference in his community when they established a clean water project near his town in Honduras. Earlier this season, Dubón shared that story with Wainwright following a Cardinals vs. Astros games, and Wainwright was blown away. This week, Wainwright joins the show to share his side of the story and catch up with Scott Linebrink, someone who he credits for making a major difference in his own life. The 2023 season was Wainwright last in what has been storied career in major league baseball, and the story of how he made an impact in Honduras was shared during his retirement ceremony at Busch Stadium. In response, the Cardinals and the Cardinals Care Foundation donated $100,000 to build a safe water project in Honduras near the town where Dubón is from, further investing in that community. Linebrink was invited to be on the field with Wainwright during his ceremony and spoke with him for the podcast while there. In this episode, Wainwright reflects on his 18-year career and how his faith in God shaped what he did on and off the field. "Get in the Game" is part of the Sports Spectrum Podcast Network.

Almost a decade ago, Scott Linebrink took a trip to Honduras with Water Mission. Joined by St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright and Don Christensen of Ronald Blue Trust, the group was there to establish clean water resources for a country where they are scarce. Little did he knew that living in a nearby community was future major league player Mauricio Dubón, now with the Houston Astros. A fews after that trip, Dubón left Honduras to pursue his MLB career. Growing up, he had felt the effects of unclean drinking water, experiencing occasional illness because of it. Now an established big league player and a member of the Astros' 2022 World Series championship team, he caught wind of the trip that Linebrink and Wainwright took to help bring clean water to his community, and earlier this season he got to thank Wainwright in person for his efforts. He joins "Get in the Game" this week to reflect with Linebrink about his road to the major leagues as well as his encounter with Wainwright and how much it meant to him. This is Part 1 of a two-part series, with Wainwright rejoining the show next to share his version of the story and how much it impacted him.

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
Mauricio Dubón didn't mince words. He called out the San Francsico Giants after torching on the field and leading the Astros to a victory over the SF Giants, who fell to 11-17 on the season. After the game, Dubón said that he "was not treated the right way over there" and that "with Dusty (Baker) here now, I'm in heaven.” Asked to elaborate on how he wasn't treated well by the Giants, Dubón spoke to his frustration with a lack of playing time.In over 500 plate appearances with the San Francisco Giants, Dubón was roughly 20% below average offensively. He consistently struggled against right-handed pitching, but did well against lefties, so he mostly played in a platoon, which he clearly didn't like. Dubón proved to be valuable defensively for the SF Giants, at premium positions like center field, shortstop, and second base. However, he developed a very real reputation for being a poor baserunner with a seemingly low baseball IQ at times.Giants broadcaster Duane Kuiper didn't seem too pleased with Dubón's comments, noting that the Giants are the team that traded for him and gave him a chance to play in the big leagues, showcase his skills, and put himself in position for a team like the Astros to target him in a trade. They also defended him when he did things like bunt for a hit in a game the Giants led by nearly 10 runs. Kuiper said on KNBR, "They could've easily thrown his tired little butt under the bus, but they didn't.”Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:
