Podcasts about midsummer classic

After getting swept by the Braves, the Mets are now tied with the Phillies for the division lead, and for the Braves to be taken seriously as threat in the second half, the Braves have to win the remaining three series in June, then they will come back home to face two very beatable teams at home to start the month of July. Randy McMichael and Abe Gordon discuss the great sweep of the Mets, and the need for the Braves to keep winning before the Midsummer Classic at home.

After a scorching start to the 2025 season, CJ Abrams found himself in a tough 17-game slump, batting just .143 with a .430 OPS. As the Nationals opened their series against the Mets, questions swirled: would Abrams let the slump derail his All-Star campaign, or could he bounce back in time to make a run toward his second straight Midsummer Classic — this time in his hometown of Atlanta? Tuesday night offered a promising sign. Abrams went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, and a hit-by-pitch — his best performance since mid-May and a clear reminder of what he can bring when he's locked in at the top of the lineup. The turnaround came after a brief break from the lineup and a pregame conversation with manager Davey Martinez focused on one thing: pitch selection. Abrams responded by staying disciplined at the plate and attacking pitches in the strike zone. His teammates and manager praised the performance, noting his ability to impact the game in every scoring sequence. Now, the key to sustaining this form will be limiting chase rates and maintaining his patient, aggressive approach. If he can do that, Abrams could not only carry the Nationals' offense but punch his ticket to the All-Star Game in front of a hometown crowd.

Steiny & Guru have a debate about whether the Giants have enough attention to garner some votes for the Midsummer Classic.

With the Midsummer Classic set to take place in Atlanta at Truist Park on July 15th, today is the day that All-Star Game ballots have dropped—and it's up to the public to make their choices. While some players might be locks to start the game (looking at you, Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani), there are a few sports that could see some interesting position battles. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman go down the ballots for the American and National League squads, making their picks for who they think should be voted in as starters. They wonder if Juan Soto can beat out an impressive trio of NL outfielders, why Dave Roberts could be selective with his Los Angeles Dodgers players and whether Rafael Devers even bothers to bring a glove with him to Atlanta. Later on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys examine the weird season that the Atlanta Braves are having—and why it's oddly similar to the Boston Red Sox—before going around the league to discuss all the injury news surrounding the Houston Astros and New York Mets, among other teams. They close the show with the latest news surrounding the Men's and Women's College World Series.(3:38) - AL All-Star starting squad(20:54) - NL All-Star starting squad(40:29) - What's up with the Braves?(56:45) - BBQ Boo Boo List updates(1:07:26) - College World Series news  Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Welcome to the All Star Break! We kick off our Midsummer Classic episode, of course, with the fits. Steven Kwan and Shota “Mike” Imanaga (II) opt for velvet, Christian Yelich dons mint green, and Ohtani steps out in a suit inspired, of course, by his dog, Decoy.  Obviously the main event of the All Star Game is the game itself! Ohtani sets more records with his 3-run home run, Big Papi deems Steven Kwan “a bad man,” and Shota shows out for his new hometown of Chicago.  But even before the All Star Break, Corbin Carroll has a much-needed 6RBI night, Travis d'Arnaud steals his third career base (and has two homers in the same game), and we're not the only ones who thought Connor Wong belonged in Arlington.  Lastly, Kenta is moved to the bullpen and builds his confidence against a former ballclub, Yusei Kikuchi has a career high 13 strikeouts, and we wish Oakland Baller Kelsie Whitmore good luck in her tryout for the USA Baseball Women's National Team!  Shotamania: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/07/16/baseball/mlb/imanaga-cubs-fan-favorite/ Connor Wong: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5633061/2024/07/12/red-sox-connor-wong-performance/ Steven Kwan's suit: https://www.instagram.com/p/C9fyk8jBcgh/ Shota Imanaga's suit: https://www.marqueesportsnetwork.com/the-hilarious-reason-behind-shota-imanagas-all-star-game-fit/ Christian Yelich's suit: https://www.instagram.com/p/C9iAqyIuMcr/ Shohei Ohtani's suit: https://www.mlb.com/news/shohei-ohtani-s-dog-decoy-pictured-inside-suit

On Tuesday night, the baseball world stopped and watched as the biggest stars in the sport played in the 94th annual Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Texas. Despite the National League starting Pittsburgh Pirates rookie phenom Paul Skenes, as well as throwing out some other big arms, the American League was able to do what they've done quite a few times in the past decade and take the game with a 5-3 victory.Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman recap all the memorable moments from the Midsummer Classic including Shohei Ohtani's three-run home run that initially put the NL squad on top, Juan Soto clearly having a ton of fun, an impressive performance from Mason Miller and Jarren Duran's go-ahead home run that secured him MVP honors for the game.Later on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Jordan recap the highlights from the newly reformatted version of the Home Run Derby, why it was a little underwhelming and wonder if we'll get to see some of the big home run hitters in baseball partake in the event in the future.

DJ & PK talked about the Major League Baseball All-Star Game and what it would mean for the Midsummer Classic to be played in Salt Lake City.

The Midsummer Classic is upon us once again. And once again, there are more questions than answers in Major League Baseball. What will the Pirates do with Paul Skenes, their rookie phenom? How can we get players interested in the All-Star Game again? How should we honor the late legend Willie Mays? And with a couple weeks left until the trade deadline, what should the powerhouse teams on both coasts do to make sure they are more than ready for October baseball? Today, Buster Olney sits side-by-side with Clinton Yates in Texas to answer all these questions and more on the eve of the 2024 MLB All-Star Game. Learn more about your ad choices.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Mike's Beer Bar, the Post-Gazette's Christopher Carter and Adam Bittner discuss Russell Wilson's role as a leader for the Steelers. Can he fill the void on offense left by Ben Roethlisberger, David DeCastro and Maurkice Pouncey? Can he help young players like Broderick Jones, Pat Freiermuth and others emerge as leaders in their own right? And can he silence some of the doubts about his leadership from his Denver days for legacy purposes? Our duo tackles those questions. Then later, Pirates insider Noah Hiles joins Christopher to talk about the Pirates at the MLB All-Star break. How will Bryan Reynolds and Paul Skenes look in the Midsummer Classic on Tuesday? And how did the team's sweep of the Chicago White Sox over the weekend set them up for the second half?

The night started out great for Bryce Harper, the top NL vote-getter in Phase 1 of All-Star balloting. After that? Not so much as the Phils star appeared to injure his hamstring. Also, with the Trade Deadline looming, is time running out in Toronto? On today's episode … ACT 1: THE BIG STORIES ( 0:48-3:14) Fans chose Bryce Harper as the starting NL first baseman in the Midsummer Classic. It doesn't get much better than that. But after appearing to injure his hamstring late in a loss to the Marlins, fans in Philly are holding their breath. Making matters worse for the Phils? Slugger Kyle Schwarber left Thursday's game early with groin tightness. Meanwhile in Toronto, the Jays have some tough choices to make leading up to the July 30 Trade Deadline. The solution? Just win and Thursday's series-opening victory over the Yankees is no doubt a step in the right direction. ACT 2: WHIPAROUND (7:12-7:57) Elsewhere around the Majors, the Orioles crushed the Rangers in a rematch of last season's ALDS showdown, the Royals eked out a win over the first-place Guardians and in St. Louis, the Reds coasted past the Cardinals. ACT 3: LOOKING AHEAD (7:57-9:10) All but written off after lackluster starts to the season, the Astros and Mets – both sporting .500 records -- are suddenly flying high and kick off a big-time weekend showdown tonight in Queens.

The Braves won the opener on Thursday, but ended their weekend in D.C. with three straight losses.

Death. Taxes. Red Sox playing .500 baseball. Jordan and Brian get together and discuss the Boston Red Sox splitting a four-game weekend series with the worst team in baseball: The Chicago White Sox. The two *again* discuss Tanner Houck's case to start the All-Star Game for the American League, as well as discuss if the Red Sox ought to be worried that right-hander Brayan Bello has yet to ascend into the frontline-caliber starting pitcher they extended him in hopes he'd become. They also shine light on the continued production out of middle infielder David Hamilton and give flowers to future Hall of Fame closer Kenley Jansen. Later, they talk about John Henry's comments before discussing their All-Star ballots ahead of the Midsummer Classic in mid-July.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for Nov 18th      Publish Date:  Nov 17th       Commercial: Henssler :15   From the Henssler Financial Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Saturday, November 18th and Happy Birthday to Alan Shepard.  ***MERCURY LAUNCH*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  GBI IDs Cobb man shot by police Wednesday 'It's Major League': The Extension Opens New $7 Million Facility False Code Red at East Cobb Middle Due to 'Human Error'   All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!    BREAK: CU of GA    STORY 1: GBI IDs Cobb man shot by police Wednesday The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has identified Peter Luna-Lopez, 26, as the man fatally shot by police in Cobb County. The incident occurred during a traffic stop related to an ongoing drug investigation. Luna-Lopez, armed and a subject of the probe, fled the stop, prompting an officer to use her patrol car to force his vehicle off the road. Subsequently, officers approached Luna-Lopez's truck and shot into it, causing his death. He was found with a handgun. The Cobb County Medical Examiner's Office is conducting an autopsy, and the GBI's investigation will be reviewed by the Cobb District Attorney's Office upon completion.   STORY 2: 'It's Major League': The Extension Opens New $7 Million Facility The Tyler A. Driver Center, a new $7 million facility, has been officially opened by The Extension Rehabilitation Center in Marietta. The center, located on Church Street Extension near Kennestone Hospital, accommodates 52 men and replaces a smaller building on the same site. The facility, providing long-term residential treatment for homeless and addicted individuals, increases capacity by 70%. With dedicated therapy rooms and offices for counselors, it offers improved amenities. Funded mainly by private donors, the center aims to address substance abuse issues and contribute to community balance. Cobb County District Attorney Flynn Broady Jr. emphasized the program's role in rehabilitating individuals with substance abuse problems involved in the criminal justice system. STORY 3: False Code Red at East Cobb Middle Due to 'Human Error' A false code red alarm at East Cobb Middle School this week was attributed to human error, as stated by the Cobb County School District. A staff member triggered the alarm, but there was no actual threat, and normal operations resumed swiftly. This incident follows previous false alarms in the district since implementing the Centegix crisis alert system. The system utilizes badges for staff to rapidly alert law enforcement in case of an attack. Safety remains a priority in the district, with Superintendent Chris Ragsdale emphasizing the normalization of red alert drills to become as routine as fire drills, as mandated by state law.     We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.    We'll be right back    Break: ESOG – ELON – DAYCO    STORY 4: MLB All-Star Game Coming to Truist Park in 2025 Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred announced that Cobb County's Truist Park will host the MLB All-Star Game in 2025. This will be the 95th Midsummer Classic, the first at Truist Park, and the third in Atlanta. The decision follows the controversy surrounding the relocation of the 2021 All-Star Game from Truist Park to Coors Field in Colorado due to Georgia's voting law, Senate Bill 202. The move resulted in a political dispute between Democrats and Republicans. The 2025 All-Star Game at Truist Park is seen as a positive development for the Braves and the community, with expectations of creating memorable experiences and economic benefits.   STORY 5: Marietta Dentist Provides Free Treatment for Rehab Residents Residents of The Extension Rehabilitation Center's recovery program in Marietta received free dental cleanings, boosting their confidence and overall health. Envision Dental Marietta, led by dentist Priyanka Seekand, provided dental hygiene cleanings for 18 participants, addressing a significant need for various dental treatments. Seekand expressed passion for holistic patient care and viewed the event as a starting point to enhance residents' health. The cleanings not only contribute to improved health but also boost residents' self-esteem. Seekand aims to make this initiative an annual event for The Extension, emphasizing the positive impact on the community and the organization. Tyler Driver, the executive director of The Extension, commended Seekand and her staff for their community-oriented work. We'll be back in a moment  Break: TEDS - DRAKE – INGLES 6   STORY 6: Commission OKs bus vouchers and funds for MUST Ministries Warming Shelter The Cobb Board of Commissioners approved a $108,000 agreement with MUST Ministries to support its Hope House homeless shelter during cold weather. The funding will cover expenses like cleaning supplies, security, staff, food, and transportation for families when the temperature is 35 degrees or lower. Commissioner Keli Gambrill opposed the agreement, expressing concerns about guaranteeing funding in advance and the perceived singling out of MUST Ministries. The county aims to serve a broader population beyond those with limited transportation options provided by MUST Ministries. Gambrill drew parallels to the equitable distribution of COVID relief funds under the American Rescue Plan Act.   STORY 7: Kennesaw State School of Art and Design Students to Offer Inaugural Holiday Artist Market Students from Kennesaw State University's School of Art and Design are hosting the inaugural Holiday Artist Market on December 1 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Visual Arts Building on the Kennesaw campus.

Over his five-decade career, Shipp covered the civil rights movement and numerous political campaigns. He was known as the most influential political journalist in Georgia and the Southeast. Shipp began his career at WGAU radio station and The Red & Black newspaper at the University of Georgia. He faced controversy for advocating for integration and the admission of an African-American student, leading to his expulsion from UGA. Shipp later worked for the Atlanta Constitution and Atlanta Journal. He was respected for his investigative reporting, fearlessly challenging politicians with his sharp wit. Shipp's scoops included breaking the news of Jimmy Carter's presidential aspirations. Despite initial clashes, Shipp formed close friendships with colleagues like Dick Yarbrough..............……... Read more about this at mdjonline.com   Story 2: tax   Residents of Cobb County expressed their dissatisfaction with the proposed millage rate during a public hearing. The proposed rates for the general fund and fire fund in the 2024 budget are the same as last year's, but due to rising property values, homeowners would still face increased property taxes. Residents argued that higher property taxes would worsen affordability issues for homebuyers and renters. Concerns were raised about increasing rents and the lack of affordable housing options. The county's Chief Financial Officer, Bill Volckmann, compared Cobb County's rates to other major counties in the Atlanta metro area, highlighting that Cobb has the lowest millage rate and tied for the lowest sales tax rate. The county's Chairwoman, Lisa Cupid, defended the tax policy, stating that it favors homeownership but acknowledged the challenges with diminishing housing inventory and increasing rents. The hearings will continue to gather public input on the millage rate.   Story 3: mayor   The City Council of Mableton, a recently established municipality, is set to receive three days of training from the Georgia Municipal Association. The training will cover various aspects of running a city, including team building, municipal law, ethics, open meetings, municipal revenues, and more. The council will also hold a meeting to vote on an ordinance regulating hotels. The training was approved by the council, and the costs will be deferred until the following year. Additionally, the council passed several items creating the foundational elements of Mableton's code of ordinances, defined legal terms, and established rules for conducting business, policies, budgeting, and contracts. Franchise rights were granted to Austell Natural Gas System, and the council announced the establishment of a bank account for the city. The council members attended the GMA Convention, where they received support from other cities' officials. The city is in the process of setting up a website and distributing meeting agendas in advance. The council asks for patience as they navigate the early stages of city governance.......read more on this story at mdjonline.com..........….   we'll be right back   Break: ESOG - Dayco – G.O.N.   STORY 4: documentary   Spencer Herron, a former teacher at Kell High School in Cobb County, Georgia, who was convicted of sexually assaulting one of his students, is the subject of a three-part ABC News documentary series titled "Betrayal: The Perfect Husband." The series, available for streaming on Hulu, is based on the podcast of the same name by Herron's ex-wife, Jenifer Faison, who discovered his infidelity and crimes in 2018. Faison produced the podcast and collaborated on the TV series to empower other victims. The final episode features the voice of the female student who accused Herron of assault. Herron pleaded guilty to sexual assault in 2019 and was sentenced to prison and probation. The series also sheds light on Herron's extramarital affairs. He has since been released on parole but must register as a sex offender. The Cobb County School District expressed satisfaction with the justice served, emphasizing its commitment to student safety.     STORY 5: sewer   A sewer line in Cobb County, near East Cobb Park, experienced a structural failure, resulting in an overflow of sewer water into Sewell Mill Creek. The incident occurred on Friday near Pimlico Court in east Cobb. Approximately 152,750 gallons of sewer water overflowed into the creek. To address the issue, crews installed a bypass pump and stopped the overflow by early Saturday morning. Cobb County has notified the Georgia Environmental Protection Division and is following their protocols for such events. County staff is monitoring the bacteria levels in the creek, and residents are advised to avoid exposure to the creek at East Cobb Park and south of the park.   Story 6: truist   Atlanta is being considered as a potential host for the 2025 All-Star Game, according to Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Rob Manfred. This comes after the city lost the opportunity to host the 2021 Midsummer Classic due to controversy surrounding changes in Georgia's voting laws. Truist Park, the home stadium of the Atlanta Braves, is being considered as the potential venue for the 2025 game. Other sites under consideration include Wrigley Field in Chicago and Fenway Park in Boston. Atlanta previously hosted the All-Star Game in 1972 and 2000.

The Nats won 5-4 on Sunday in Philadelphia to take the weekend rubber match and Josiah Gray also found out he is headed to the MLB All Star Game for the first time in his young career. The Nationals won all 3 series on the road trip and went 6-3 overall on the three city tour. Al points out how well the team is playing on the road this year as they are 21-22 this season away from D.C. (05:00) Gray is bound for Seattle at next week's Midsummer Classic. Gray makes it to the All Star Game less than two years after the Blockbuster trade with the Dodgers at the 2021 Trade Deadline. (09:00) Among the snubs, were Jeimer Candelario and Lane Thomas. Al runs through some stats that makes their omissions difficult to swallow, but plenty of explainable All Star roster quirks are at play. Candelario did homer on Sunday as well in the victory. (17:10) Stone Garrett came through as clean-up hitter with a go ahead Grand Slam, his 2nd one this season. The last player to pull that off for Washington? Gerardo "Baby Shark" Parra of course. (19:00) Trevor Williams immediately allowed 3 runs, but did settle down to make it through 5 innings. Hear Al explain how Williams has been mediocre, but in a complimentary way. The "A" Bullpen came through again with plenty of clutch double plays; and saw significant contribution from recent addition Jose A. Ferrer. Learn more about your ad choices.
