Baseball season has returned, and Jack is back for his 2025 Major League Baseball season preview. Jack welcomes Aberdeen IronBirds (Baltimore Orioles High-A affiliate) play-by-play broadcaster Michael Marcantonini back to the show, for a comprehensive look at all six divisions. Mike and Jack kick things off with the AL East, a division Mike is very familiar with. The division has seen three different champions over the last five seasons. Will the New York Yankees repeat as AL East champs, even after losing Juan Soto? Last year, the Orioles took a step back from their 101-win season in 2023. Could they return to the top of the division, even after Corbin Burnes and Anthony Santander departed as free agents over the winter? The Boston Red Sox were very active in the offseason, trading for Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox, and signing two-time All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million contract. Will it be enough to return Boston to the postseason? Mike and Jack also share their thoughts on the Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays. On deck, Mike and Jack put the AL Central under the microscope. Four of the division's five teams have seen a quite a bit of preseason betting action... with the White Sox coming off a record-setting 121-loss season in 2024. The Cleveland Guardians, Kansas City Royals, Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins all posted winning seasons last year. Who do Mike and Jack like to win the division and snag a Wild Card (or two)? Then, the fellas turn their attention to the AL West. The Houston Astros have won the division seven of the last eight years. The only year in which the club has not won the West since 2017 came in 2020, in the COVID-shortened, 60-game season. In each of baseball's last seven full, 162-game seasons, the Astros have been AL West champions. However, the Astros bid farewell to Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman, Justin Verlander and Ryan Pressly over the winter. The club doesn't appear to have much coming up through its farm system in the near future. Are the Astros still the team to beat in the West, or is their run reaching its end? Will the Seattle Mariners finally win their first division title since 2001? How will the Texas Rangers bounce back from a lackluster 2024, one year after winning the World Series? What kind of steps forward might the Los Angeles Angels and The Athletics take in 2025? Michael is a lifelong Philadelphia Phillies fan, so he is enthusiastic to weigh in on the Fightin' Phils' chances entering the coming season. How will the Atlanta Braves fare after losing ace Max Fried to free agency? Michael and Jack discuss the Mets' highly-priced addition of Juan Soto, and share which teams from the East they are projecting to make the playoffs. The Chicago Cubs are the betting favorites in the NL Central, despite having made the postseason just once over the last six years. The Milwaukee Brewers have reached the playoffs seven of the last eight years. Why aren't the Brewers getting more love? Michael and Jack debate. Jack believes that the three best teams in the National League all play in the NL West. Which of the three does he have winning the World Series? Jack explains why the greatest threat to the Los Angeles Dodgers' World Series defense may come in the National League Division Series. Finally, Michael and Jack share their World Series picks. It's an episode of the Jack Vita Show that you will not want to miss! AL East (0:00 - 17:30) AL Central (17:30 - 29:00) AL West (29:00 - 39:35) NL East (39:35 - 46:50) NL Central (46:50 - 53:15) NL West (53:15 - END)

This season will obviously not be the wire to wire 1st place finish of 2021, or the record setting season that was 2023, but it will be a season of grind, that will end up with a close finish in the National League as the Braves, and early World Series favorite, will have to fight to win every series. Help is indeed on the way, with the returns of Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuña Jr. imminent, so Braves fans need to buckle up, and enjoy what will be a roller coaster of a 2025 season. Abe Gordon and Beau Morgan discuss the Braves rubber match versus the Philadelphia Phillies Thursday night, and where the team goes from here.

Brenden Schaeffer discussing what seemingly was the first documented instance in Paul Skenes' entire life in which he gave up five runs in a game as the pitcher. And the St. Louis Cardinals did it to him.We broke down the game, including the performance by Sonny Gray, as well as the makeup of this Cardinal team that lends itself toward needing the exact type of offensive production they are having so far--and they're near a National League record as a result of that production.Follow this podcast feed for St. Louis Cardinals coverage all year round!

Marc Cox is joined by Tom Ackerman for a comprehensive sports update. They break down the St. Louis Cardinals' recent loss to the Boston Red Sox (18-7) and highlight the team's record-setting performance, with 10+ hits in their first nine games, setting a National League record. The conversation shifts to the St. Louis Blues, who are on a remarkable 12-game win streak and currently hold a two-point lead over Minnesota for the top wild card spot in the NHL. The duo also discusses the Blues' potential playoff matchup with Vegas.

- Earl Gillespie - Blaine WalshThe Milwaukee Braves of the 1950s were one of the National League's most formidable and exciting teams, known for their powerful lineup, dominant pitching, and passionate fan base. After relocating from Boston to Milwaukee in 1953, the franchise quickly became a central force in the leagueThe move sparked a surge in attendance, with fans packing County Stadium and giving the team one of the most loyal followings in baseball at the time. Led by a core of future Hall of Famers—Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, and Warren Spahn—the Braves combined offensive firepower with a reliable pitching staff. Aaron and Mathews consistently ranked among the league leaders in home runs and RBIs, while Spahn remained a workhorse on the mound, racking up wins well into his late 30s. The peak of the decade came in 1957, when the Braves won the World Series, defeating the New York Yankees in seven games. They returned to the Fall Classic in 1958 but fell short in a rematch with the Yankees. Throughout the decade, the Braves remained contenders, often finishing near the top of the standings and challenging the National League's elite. By the end of the 1950s, the team was still strong but beginning to show signs of transition. While the stars remained productive, questions about long-term depth and rising competition foreshadowed the shifts that would define the 1960s. Still, the 1950s Braves left an enduring mark as one of the decade's most respected and balanced clubs.

The Phillies are 5-1 out the gates and host the World Series Champion Dodgers this weekend for three at The Bank. A great early litmus test for this group, they are 7-3 in their last 10 against LA, including wins in 6 of their last 7 contests. Early on, the lineup is quiet against starting pitchers while raking against relief pitchers. To beat the Dodgers, the Phils will have to change that narrative. There have been contributions from the bottom of the order with Sosa and Rojas, and the new addition, Max Kepler, has began his Phillies career in solid fashion. The marathon of the MLB Season is underway as the VetPhact and Prem's MLB Picks returns, with three Moneyline Locks for this Friday's games.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/26a6ezva Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Former Kerry football manager Mick O Iarbhainisteoir peile Chiarraí Mick O'Dwyer tar éis bháis. Former Kerry football team manager Mick O'Dwyer has died at the age of forty- eight. Tá iarbhainisteoir fhoireann peile Chiarraí Mick O'Dwyer tar éis bháis in aois a ocht mbliana agus ceithre scór. 'Micko' was one of Ireland's greatest sporting figures and won many medals, championships, trophies and awards as a player and manager throughout his life. Duine de mhórphearsana spóirt na hÉireann ab ea 'Micko' agus is iomaí bonn, craobh, corn agus gradam nach iad a bhuaigh sé mar imreoir agus mar bhainisteoir i gcaitheamh a shaoil. He won four All-Ireland championships as a player and eight championships as a pioneering manager of that famous elite team that Kerry had in the seventies and eighties. Ceithre chraobh Uile- Éireann a bhuaigh sé mar imreoir agus ocht gcraobh mar bhainisteoir ceannródaíoch ar an scothfhoireann cháiliúil úd a bhí ag Ciarraí sna seachtóidí agus sna hochtóidí. The Kerry team at that time, led by the Waterford man, were often in footy duels with the great Dublin team led by Kevin Heffernan, games that are deeply engraved and carved in stone for the Gaelic Athletic Association. Ba mhinic na Ciarraígh an uair úd, faoi stiúir fhear an Choireáin, i ndeabhaidh chosbháire le sárfhoireann Bhaile Átha Cliath a raibh Kevin Heffernan ina ceannas, cluichí atá greanta go domhain agus go snoite i gcloch oiris Chumann Lúthchleas Gael. Not counting the All-Ireland Championship, Mick O'Dwyer won the Munster Championship 23 times and the National League eleven times as both a player and manager. Gan Craobh na hÉireann a bhac, bhuaigh Mick O'Dwyer Craobh na Mumhan 23 uair agus an tSraith Náisúnta aon uair déag mar imreoir agus mar bhainisteoir araon. Although he was a staunch Kerryman, his talent was sought after in other counties as well and he was lured by teams that were not performing well – namely, Kildare, Laois, Wicklow and Clare – in the hope that he would turn the malt into ale, even though he was a man who had always abstained from intoxicating drink. Cé gur Ciarraíoch dílis go smior a bhí ann, bhí tóir ar a ardchumas i gcontaetha eile leis agus mealladh é ag foirne nach raibh ag cruthú go maith – mar atá, Cill Dara, Laois, Cill Mhantáin agus an Clár – le súil go ndéanfadh sé leann den bhraich, siúd is go mb'fhear é a staon riamh ón deoch mheisciúil. In fact, Kildare won the Leinster Championship in 1998 and 2000 under the guidance of Mick O'Dwyer and that team reached the All-Ireland final in 1998, when they were beaten by Galway by four goals. Go deimhin, bhain Cill Dara Craobh Laighean i 1998 agus in 2000 faoi lámh stiúrtha Mick O'Dwyer agus chuaigh an fhoireann sin chomh fada le cluiche ceannais Chraobh na hÉireann i 1998, tráth a fuair Gaillimh an ceann is fearr orthu le ceithre chúilín. Mick O'Dwyer made his living as an innkeeper and undertaker in Waterville. Is mar óstóir agus adhlacóir sa Choireán a shaothraigh Mick O'Dwyer a bheatha. His first wife Mary Carmel died in 2012 and he married Geraldine Shields in 2023. Bhásaigh a chéad bhean chéile Mary Carmel in 2012 agus phós sé Geraldine Shields in 2023. He is survived by his sons John, Robbie and Karl. Maireann a chlann mhac John, Robbie agus Karl. He was predeceased by another son, Michael. Bhásaigh roimhe mac eile, Michael.

1975 was a banner year for Rookies in Major League Baseball. Fred Lynn broke onto the scene in Boston and won Rookie of the Year and MVP… the first player ever to do that. And in the National League, John, “The Count” Montefusco took home the honors of National League Rookie of the Year. The Giants hurler narrowly beat out The Kid, Gary Carter, who went on to have a Hall of Fame career as a catcher. The only other player to get a vote for American League Rookie of the Year was Lynn's teammate, a future Hall of Famer himself, Jim Rice who had a fantastic freshman year. The 3rd Hall of Famer in that rookie class was a pitcher in Cleveland by the name of Dennis Eckersley. But he wasn't the only young stud on that staff… Enter The Amazing Emu… Jim Kern.  A non-drafted pitcher out of Midland, Michigan, Kern didn't rise quickly through the minors and took a detour when he joined the marines in 1969. After a year of serving and 5 more in the reserves, Kern's baseball career started to take off and after a brief callus to the bigs in '74, he came up for good in '75. As a starter he had inconsistent success but with Frank Robinson as his manager, he converted to a receiver in 1976 and a star was born. One of the hardest throwers in the game, Kern took to his new role immediately, winning 10 games and saving 15 with an ERA of 2.37 over 117 innings. He was an American League All-Star the next three seasons culminating in 1979 when he won 13 games out of the pen and saved another 29 while amassing 143 innings with an ERA of 1.57. A season for the ages for the 6'5 flamethrower. Unfortunately injuries plagued Kern for much of the rest of his career. He bounced around the league and other than a resurgence in 1982 for a bad Reds team, he never was as dominant as he was during that 4-year stretch from 1976-79… On the Past Our Prime podcast, Kern tells us about his journey from being undrafted out of high school, to the marines to a 3-time All-Star reliever from 1977 to 1979. He tells us about his days in Cleveland that included playing for the first black manager in baseball history, Hall of Famer Frank Robinson and being on the same pitching staff as another Hall of Famer, Dennis Eckersley. Kern speaks fondly of many teammates including Gaylord Perry, Pat Dobson, Sparky Lyle and Boog Powell who taught this “dumbass rookie” as much about being a pitcher as anyone he ever came across. And this baseball character tells us about the best prank he ever took part in, and how Buddy Bell got his revenge! It's a bunch of laughs with one of the funniest relief pitchers of the late 70's who could throw the ball about as hard as anyone for a brief, yet electric time in Cleveland and Texas.

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 When the rain clears on opening day, the Cyldesdales, red jackets, and 2025 Cardinals will take center stage in St. Louis for what's become a civic holiday. And yet, outside of the pomp of the opener, the real circumstance facing the Cardinals entering the regular season is how they've faded from relevance in the National League and NL Central. ESPN baseball writer Jesse Rogers, in town to cover the Cardinals' opener against the Minnesota Twins, joins the Best Podcast in Baseball and host Derrick Goold to discuss a national perspective on the Cardinals and the curious case of their "transition." For a youth movement, the Cardinals don't have a rookie on their opening roster for the first time since 2007. For a "reset," the roster is more of a copy -- with 25 of the 26 players on the active roster returning from 2024. The duality of the Cardinals' dilemma is as clear as the rain delaying the opener. Rogers also discusses what it will take for the Cardinals to elbow their way into the NL Central race. The two writers pick their division champ for the NL Central. And Roger gets a peek into how rivals see Cardinals executive John Mozeliak as he arrives at his final opening day in charge of baseball operations in St. Louis.

The Word of the Day is Scenario (0:00-8:59) The baseball season unfolds over a lengthy 162-game schedule, emphasizing endurance rather than quick bursts of performance. Given this context, Dave Dombrowski is likely to be proactive, as he has a history of making trades around the deadline. In an ideal situation, the Phillies could emerge as the top team in baseball. Conversely, in a less favorable outcome, they may secure the second Wild Card spot in the National League. (8:59-16:52) We react to the Twitter Poll. Which of these two scenarios is more likely to happen? Phillies win World Series 51.1% Phillies miss Postseason 48.9% (16:52-28:50) Tyrone wants Brandon Marsh to be a .240 hitter vs Left-Handed Pitching. He cannot hit .190 if he is playing every day. If that is the case then Justin Crawford will be a name to monitor around Memorial Day Weekend. (28:50-38:43) One area of focus will be the catcher position. The Phillies plan to reduce JT Realmuto's game appearances to alleviate his workload. Rafael Marchan is expected to serve as the backup, bringing notable power and switch-hitting capabilities to the team. He will be positioned in the lineup to ensure he is a more formidable presence than the previous backup catcher. Considering this, we will analyze the number of games JT should participate in and project what constitutes a successful season for the veteran catcher.

This week we profile the baseball life and journey of the legendary skipper Bobby Cox, who was became one of the most successful managers in the game's history, chartering the course for the Braves' dominanace during the 1990's and early 2000's. His teams would hold the unique distinction of winning 14 consecutive division pennants, and he would go onto become the fourth winningest manager in baseball history. The seeds of National League supremacy hardly happened overnight. It was a seed that would take 14 seasons to bear fruit, with an international sojurn along the way. #BobbyCox #AtlantaBraves #RalphHouk #NewYorkYankees #BillyMartin #TedTurner #PatGillick #TorontoBlueJays #JohnSmoltz #TomGlavine #GregMaddux #JohnSchuerholz #ChipperJones #MarquisGrissom
