Episode 67 of Music in the Minor League has arrived! This week, we are joined by Robert Johnson of Stars & Satellites! Robert started Stars & Satellites in the mid-2000s as a studio project, releasing 2007s Solutions before going on a hiatus due to work and life in general. He returned to recording a few years ago with a few singles before eventually transitioning to a live act around a year ago.Robert is currently working new singles and hitting stages around the Houston area where he's already making in-roads as an opening act for both local and touring artists. We had a great time talking about music from all vantage points and the path from covering Blink-182 at a talent show to performing as an adult. We also talk about A LOT of other stuff. Enjoy the episode, we'll be back in two weeks!
On this episode, Mark Simon is joined by the No. 1 prospect in minor league baseball, Pirates shortstop and center fielder Konnor Griffin, who at age 19, is playing solid MLB-caliber defense right now.Konnor talked about why he plays the positions so aggressively, what it's been like learning from older players, the hard parts of playing defense, and more.Mark was also joined by his SIS colleague, VP of analytics Alex Vigderman, who described a project he presented with Joe Rosales at Saberseminar on our pitch-framing metric, Strike Zone Runs Saved. He elaborated on the catchers, pitchers, batters, and umpires who got or called more strikes than expected over the last 10 years.Konnor's great play vs the Yankeeshttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/NRRdSkSdKCUKonnor's minor league highlight reelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrGS85eqR2EThanks as always for listening.

Send us a textBack in September 2021, we interviewed Matt Leis, and in Episode 149 we're catching up with him again to hear about his transition from the golf course to sports fields. Matt is now the Manager of Fleet & Irrigation at the Papago Baseball Complex for the San Francisco Giants Baseball Club in Phoenix, AZ. The 40-acre complex is home to player development and Minor League operations, featuring six full fields, auxiliary surfaces, and a 15,000 sq. ft. facility. As the solo technician in the shop, Matt oversees a Toro fleet, preventive maintenance, and the RainBird irrigation and pump systems while supporting the Field Operations team. We dive into the unique challenges of sports fields—precision grading, grooming artificial turf, finding cleats in mowers—and how the players' calendar drives cultural practices. Matt also shares how refereeing college football fits into his busy schedule, along with his professional growth through the GCSAA EMCP and CTEM programs and the Toro Grounds Leadership Academy.

Welcome to episode 66 of Music in the Minor League! This week, we're talking to Scott Schaafsma of Kerosene Stars. We first heard Kerosene Stars when they played with MiML alums, Junebird, last year. We've seen them quite a few times since then and even had the opportunity to play a show with them recently. So, it just made sense to hassle Scott about doing an episode of the podcast.Kerosene Stars is an American power-pop/rock band originally formed in Chicago, IL. Then, in 2023, Scott moved to the Houston area and started a new version of the band. The catch is that he never broke up the Chicago version, so both branches of the band operate simultaneously and perform in their own regions depending on where Scott is. It's a pretty cool concept. We hope you enjoy the conversation and learn all you hope to about Kerosene Stars! We'll see you again next week as we catch up from our summer break!

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.

This week we return from our July break with episode 65 of Music in the Minor League. This episode brings us back to our near second home at this point: Fort Collins, CO. We'll be talking to Slp (pronounced 'slip') of Maudlyn Monroe.Classically trained, with a love for riot grrl and 70's NY punk, Maudlyn Monroe is a vocalist/guitarist/saxophonist/pianist with an up-tempo emo feel—an electrified lackadaisical punk. Their voice, with its three octave range, has been called "angelic" and "soulful", "bird-like" and "desperate", and lends to quiet folk contemplation, shocking soul, and raw punk sounds.We had an absolute blast spending an evening discussing music, life and so much else with Slp. If y'all have half as much fun listening as we did recording this one, this will be one of our most popular episodes. Enjoy!
