The episode begins with the traditional "Who's who you bring into the bar" segment. Hot topics include placing Mavericks executive Nico Harrison in the hot seat due to the team's "pathetic start" and celebrating Joe Burrow's return to practice after injury. A dramatic highlight is House's enthusiastic (and loud) tribute to Gus Johnson's commentary on an Indiana game-winning catch against Penn State, describing the spectacular, contorted play. Baseball talk surfaces with the mention of Japanese power hitter Munetaka Murakami becoming a free agent.   College football takes over as the final segment, centered on the nail-biting Indiana victory over Penn State and the physics-defying catch that won the game, declaring the Hoosiers are now on a "collision course with Ohio State for the Big Ten Championship". The SEC picture is discussed, with Texas A&M being declared the best team until proven otherwise. There's significant attention paid to Texas (UT), which, if they "run the table" and beat Georgia and Texas A&M, could potentially secure a spot in the College Football Playoff. Finally, the hosts analyze the chaotic situation in the ACC, where multiple one-loss teams like Pitt, Georgia Tech, and SMU are vying for the championship. There's a concern that if the ACC champion is not a top 25 team, the conference could miss out on a College Football Playoff spot entirely.

En el episodio de hoy de Baseball News, abordamos un tema candente que podría cambiar el rumbo de los Yankees: 1. Munetaka Murakami en la mira de los Yankees: El poderoso slugger japonés, Munetaka Murakami, podría ser el próximo gran fichaje de los Yankees. Con 56 jonrones en 2022 y una Triple Corona en la NPB, Murakami ha sido comparado con leyendas como Hideki Matsui. Aunque su defensa en tercera base es cuestionable, su versatilidad le permite jugar en primera base y en el jardín izquierdo. Los Yankees, con un vacío evidente en la tercera base y sin una solución inmediata en su sistema de ligas menores, podrían ser el destino ideal para Murakami una vez que sea posteado por los Tokyo Yakult Swallows al finalizar la temporada 2025 . 2. Otros titulares destacados: Francisco Lindor conecta un elevado de sacrificio para que los Mets dejen en el terreno a los Medias Blancas. Anthony Volpe impulsa la victoria de los Yankees sobre los Angels con un doblete clave. Shohei Ohtani inicia el juego con su jonrón número 19 de la temporada, liderando a los Dodgers sobre los Guardians. Jackson Chourio y Andrew Monasterio impulsan a los Cerveceros en su triunfo ante los Medias Rojas. Manny Machado conecta un jonrón clave en la octava entrada y los Padres dejan tendidos a los Marlins en once entradas. Keider Montero brilla desde la lomita en la victoria de los Tigres sobre los Gigantes. Kevin Gausman lanza ocho sólidas entradas y Daulton Varsho conecta un jonrón en el triunfo de los Azulejos sobre los Rangers. #MunetakaMurakami #Yankees #MLB #BaseballNews #ShoheiOhtani #FranciscoLindor #AnthonyVolpe #MannyMachadoConviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/con-las-bases-llenas-podcast-de-beisbol--2742086/support.

This week on The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony hunker down for the avalanche of milestones and home run chases currently coming down to the wire all across baseball! But first, the two offer their most sincere condolences for the recent passing of John Stearns and Joan Hodges; what they meant to the Mets, the game of baseball, and most importantly their loved ones cannot possibly be measured in the written or spoken word. May they rest in peace. Sticking to the Mets, the duo discuss the coming departure of Sandy Alderson from his present role with the Mets and eventual move to an advisor role. One more stop before the milestone coverage as Tom and Tony touch upon Ozzie Albies' injury that will sideline him for at least the rest of the regular season and David Price's decision to hang 'em up after the conclusion of this season. After this, it's a milestone extravaganza that begins with the Mets single season hit by pitch record, Framber Valdez's insane 25 straight quality starts record, and Spencer Strider's seemingly impossible 200 strikeouts in 129 innings! This leads was for the home run records that encompass the back half of the episode. First it's Japanese slugger, Munetaka Murakami's, record-tying 55th home run by a Japanese-born player in the NPB. Next up is two Diamond Duo regulars in Aaron Judge and Albert Pujols as the two check in on their historic home run chases! (friendly reminder that Aaron Judge is the MVP he's gonna be the first player to hit 60+ homers with a triple crown). Lastly, it's Mike Trout providing us with the latest Tungsten Arm O'Doyle moment as he homers in seven straight games! (and of course the Angels were sub 500 across that stretch). After a quick postseason update, it's a double-headed deep drive to close things out! We had plenty to talk about so sit back and take it all in here on Episode 42 of The Diamond Duo Podcast!

Congratulations are in order this week! Dave Roberts' Dodgers become the first MLB team to clinch 2022 playoff berth AND their division (not to mention, they are the winningest team in baseball). The Dodgers have made it to the postseason every season Dave has managed - no small feat, and on top of that, he's the first Asian and second Black manager to ever win a World Series title. Speaking of great managers, Naomi sacrifices her beloved Twins for the culture as Steven Kwan and Isiah Kiner-Falefa take down Minnesota with their clubs. IKF not only hits the game tying single in the first game of the double header, he smashes his first career grand slam in game 2. HOW YA LIKE THAT YANKEES FANS???? And in NPB, 22-year-old Munetaka Murakami is on a home run record mission of his own. The Yakult Swallows 3B has tied Sadaharu Oh's (basically the Michael Jordan of Japanese sports) record for single-season HR by a Japanese-born player. He's now pressing on to match - maybe even pass - the overall single-season record of 60 HR.
