Do we really want to pull away from that long and amazing history? Batting average may not be the be-all and end-all offensive stat but we think it's still important.

Welcome to Episode 100 of Tablesetters! Devin and Steve are back for a milestone edition of the show, covering all things baseball as the 2025 season hits its stretch run. We open with Commissioner Rob Manfred's bold comments during the Little League Classic broadcast, where he floated the possibility of realignment if Major League Baseball expands to 32 teams. Nashville, Salt Lake City, and Portland headline the list of suitors, but the bigger question is structural : could MLB really abandon the American and National Leagues in favor of East and West conferences? We dig into what that vision would mean for rivalries, travel, TV money, and October itself. From there, we turn to Los Angeles, where the Dodgers swept the Padres in a pivotal series that flipped the NL West standings. Entering the weekend a game behind, the Dodgers turned it into a two-game lead by Sunday, while securing the season tiebreaker that could decide the division. Freeman, Betts, and rookie Andy Pages carried the bats, Glasnow and the bullpen delivered on the mound, and L.A. reminded everyone why they've owned this rivalry for years. The Little League Classic brought baseball back to its roots in Williamsport, and the Mets gave it a storybook moment. Mark Vientos slid down the Lamade Field hill with kids before blasting a three-run homer under the lights, his 12th of the year, sparking a win over the Mariners. With Francisco Lindor and Francisco Álvarez leading the offense, New York finally strung together back-to-back wins for the first time in weeks. In Philadelphia, the headlines are colliding: Zack Wheeler's blood clot diagnosis deals a massive blow to the Phillies' rotation, Aaron Nola's shaky return raises questions about whether he can step into the ace role, and Alec Bohm's bat gave the lineup a needed spark. What does it mean for their World Series hopes? It was also a week defined by young talent. Nolan McLean debuted for the Mets with eight strikeouts and a highlight-reel defensive play, Samuel Basallo and Dylan Beavers joined the Orioles' endless pipeline, and top prospect Konnor Griffin jumped to Double-A. We break down what these moves mean for contenders and rebuilders alike. The Brewers' 14-game winning streak came to an end, but their run underscored everything that makes them dangerous heading into October: depth, resilience, and a chemistry that's built for a pennant chase. Meanwhile, questions swirl in Arizona as Ketel Marte's future comes under scrutiny despite another All-Star caliber season, while Geraldo Perdomo steps in as both teammate and defender. And in Houston, the Astros await the return of Yordan Álvarez, whose rehab assignment comes just as the division lead shrinks to a single game. And of course, we'll check in on the league's hottest and coldest bats as the playoff picture sharpens.

The Atlanta Braves have suddenly started scoring runs. The result has been a run of success and their longest winning streak of the season. Grant McAuley discusses some of the reasons why the Braves are finding some late-season success. There is no hotter hitter in the National League than Michael Harris II, but just how good has he been? On the flip side, while some young arms are making an impression, Spencer Strider is struggling to find consistency. What exactly is going wrong for the former MLB strikeout leader, and can it be fixed? All of that plus the return of Ronald Acuña Jr. and why he should be playing, and injury updates on Chris Sale and Austin Riley. This week's special interviews include a visit with Stephen Tolbert of Hammer Territory to dissect the seasons of Harris and Strider as well as the big winter to come. You'll also hear a conversation with former Braves outfielder Ryan Klesko, who reflects on the 1995 World Series championship.

Ernie Lombardi retired from Major League Baseball in 1947 and was not enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame until 1986. Many theories abound as to why it took Lombardi so long to get in. But, facts are facts, and his enshrinement was way over due, after all, Lombardi did things as a catcher that few before, or since, have accomplished. Despite his lack of speed, he might have been one of the slowest to ever play the game, and that could have been one of the reasons it took him so long to make it to Cooperstown, he retired from the game with a .306 career batting average. Twice he led the National League in batting average. In 1938 he hit .342 and won the MVP award. In 1942, at the age of 34 with the Boston Braves, he again led the National League in batting with a .330 batting average. A 7-time All-Star, during the 5-year stretch of 1934 through 1938, Lombardi hit .305, .343, .333, .334, .342. He had a career OPS of .818. On this episode of SFH, guest Robert Baker and I look back at the 17-year career of Ernie Lombardi, the highlights, and the depressing low lights as well.

In Episode 99 of Tablesetters, we break down the MVP showdown between Shohei Ohtani and Kyle Schwarber and examine the pivotal moments shaping the final stretch of the 2025 MLB season. Ohtani's 41st home run made him the fastest Dodger ever to reach 40 in a season, vaulting him past Schwarber for the National League lead. Schwarber remains close behind, leading all of baseball in RBIs while anchoring the offense for a first-place Phillies team. We dig into their numbers, the context around their production, and what could ultimately decide this year's MVP race. In New York, both the Yankees and Mets find themselves in critical territory. The Yankees have gone 20–31 since mid-June, slipping from the top of the division to fighting for a playoff berth. The offense has stalled, the pitching has lost its edge, and the bullpen has been tested in high-leverage moments. Across town, the Mets remain in the hunt but have been unable to sustain momentum, with Pete Alonso tying Darryl Strawberry's franchise home run record in a game that still ended in defeat. In Seattle, Cal Raleigh is chasing history. His 45th home run tied Johnny Bench's 1970 total for the second-most in a season by a catcher, putting Salvador Perez's record of 48 within reach and raising the possibility of the first 50-homer season ever by a catcher. Bo Bichette's resurgence has reignited the Blue Jays' offense, with a .400 average over his last 27 games pushing Toronto back into the AL East race. We explore how his recent production has reestablished his market value, whether his skill set makes him a true superstar, and why his next contract could exceed 200 million dollars. Also in this episode: – Prospects who could impact the playoff race, led by Phillies right-hander Andrew Painter – Listener poll results on the most intimidating playoff rotations – A closer look at the hottest and coldest hitters around the league – How recent surges and slumps could shift the postseason race Episode 99 delivers the context, analysis, and questions that will shape the postseason conversation.

This week we profile the baseball life of the immortal Joe Morgan, who at 5'7", and 150 pounds, dominated the game and the second-base position like very few before him or since. Morgan develops a love for the game, cutting his teeth on the talented Oakland sandlots, and influenced by his farher's encouragement. Despite his diminutive stature, which made him overlooked throughout his youth, he displayed impressive talents, and confidence throughout his career. He plays ten years for the Houston Colt 45's, and establishes himself as a rising star in the National League, but it would be a career altering trade to the Cincinnati Reds Big Red Machine teams of the 1970's where he would attain legendary status as the team's sparkplug catalyst, He contributed to two Reds World Championships in 1975 and 1976, with back to back MVP seasons. His legacy in the game is not only earmarked by his on-field contributions, but his positive influence on younger players and his commitment to the sport until his passing in October of 2020. #JoeMorgan #CastlemontHighSchool #BobWright #BillyGoodman #HoustonColt45s #HoustonAstros #CincinnatiReds #BigRedMachine #TonyPerez #PeteRose #JohnnyBench #PhiladelphiaPhillies #SanFranciscoGiants #OaklandAthletics

Are they riding this "runway" toward the future, or are they going to tighten the race for the National League's third wild card to a point that they stand pat or add on the edges of the roster? The Cardinals' trends of risk aversion and playing it down the middle is about to be challenged. And, at the same time, the trade deadline may invite more questions than they have answers. In Part 1 of an extended conversation about the Cardinals at the trade deadline (Part 1) and the Cardinals nearing the Chaim Bloom takeover (Part 2), KMOX/104.1 FM's Kevin Wheeler joins St. Louis Post-Dispatch lead baseball writer Derrick Goold to discuss all the implications of moves the Cardinals could make, and why a "soft buy" or "slight sell" may be more of the same even if either is the right move for 2025.
