Hot damn I love summer and we've reached one of my favorite points on the sports calendar—the Major League Baseball All-Star Break. It's the halfway mark, the standings are starting to mean something, and every fan has an opinion about where the game is headed. And that's exactly what we're talking about this week.It's not about online gambling or fantasy baseball. It's about the bigger questions. Is Shohei Ohtani already in the discussion as the greatest player we've ever seen? Why don't pitchers finish games anymore? Has analytics made baseball better...or just more complicated? And would a guy like Nolan Ryan even be allowed to become Nolan Ryan in today's game?To help me sort it all out, I've brought back our resident baseball mind, Holly. He's going to help me understand what I'm seeing—and maybe challenge a few things I've believed about the game for the last fifty years.So grab a cold drink, settle into your favorite chair, and let's put modern baseball on trial. THIS...is the Mitch Wonders Podcast.Mitch Wonders is where Texas porch talk meets life's big questions. Each episode, Mitch — a cranky but curious Texan — takes a plainspoken look at today's world with humor, humility, and a shot of wisdom you can actually swallow.Catch up on all episodes, see pics. of recent guests, YouTube clips, BBQ and whiskey reviews, subscribe, and visit the Merch Store at https://mitchwonders.com/ .

They reflect on the Texas Rangers' series loss to the Detroit Tigers while celebrating Jacob Latz as the team's lone All-Star selection.

Finally, they dive into the most underrated Cowboys players, focusing on the often-criticized Malik Hooker and Terrence Steele.
Who's the greatest? It's a question we ask about quarterbacks, pitchers, and point guards—but Jesus' disciples asked it about the Kingdom of Heaven, and His answer flipped their entire framework upside down.In this message from Matthew 18:1-6, guest speaker Jeff Stemple unpacks what happens when the disciples' quiet argument about status and rank finally bursts into the open, and Jesus responds not with a ranking, but with a child standing in the middle of the room. Jeff explores how greatness in God's Kingdom isn't measured by achievement, platform, or comparison, but through humble, childlike dependence on God.Along the way, Jeff digs into what it means to humble yourself before you're humbled, how what we value reveals what we actually believe, and why welcoming and protecting children reflects the very heart of Jesus. Whether you're wrestling with insecurity, control, or the constant pull to measure up, this message points to a different scoreboard altogether—one built on trust, not status.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Tim Brown covered baseball for more than thirty years and has written two New York Times bestsellers: The Phenomenon with Rick Ankiel and Imperfect with Jim Abbott. He also wrote The Tao of the Backup Catcher. In 2016, he was awarded first place in beat writing by the Associated Nolan Ryan was a hero to two of America's biggest institutions: Texas and baseball. He played longer, threw harder and amassed more pitching records—53—than anyone before or since. As he did, Ryan came to represent what was exceptional about a game when it was still America's pastime. Veteran baseball journalist and New York Times bestselling author Tim Brown provides the definitive biography of one of baseball's greatest players in NOLAN: The Singular Life of an American Original. Written with the cooperation of Ryan, his wife, Ruth, and their three children, Reid, Reese and Wendy, NOLAN is not just a tribute to one of the greatest pitchers ever to step on the mound, but an exploration of God, family, baseball, and America. Nolan Ryan grew up in the small town of Alvin, Texas, was graced with a fastball, and fell in love with a woman, then honored all three in his pursuit of hardball perfection. He was a hard man who did hard things because of how and where he was raised; by a father who worked two jobs in a Southeast Texas town that existed on the whims of the farming, cattle and oil industries. Told through the lens of life, men and baseball as they are forged in Texas, and set against the context of a game that has since given way to specialists, data, pitch limits and the marginalization of individual effort, NOLAN celebrates what was and redefines the legacy of the man known, simply, as “The Express.” Alongside Nolan's personal story, Brown offers a thoughtful, deeply researched history of baseball in the Lone Star State, and an unforgettable account of three glorious decades in the Major Leagues playing for the Texas Rangers, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels, and New York Mets. Nolan Ryan's story is about dominating the field, then growing old in the game, then just plain growing old. It's about the man who has become a symbol of the game at its best, the way it used to be. It's about deeds over words. About cattle matching the hat. About fastballs over all else. NOLAN makes the case that there has never been another like him. And there won't be again.
Jeff Blair is solo on the second hour of the Monday edition. He kicks it off by welcoming in The Athletic's Jayson Stark (3:03) to discuss his recent conversation with Nolan Ryan about Jacob Misiorowski's velocity, Bryce Harper's cycle, whether the Astros can catch the Mariners, and the Giants' rocky start in the first year of Buster Posey's tenure as President. Then, ahead of the Jays' series-opener against the Astros, Jeff listens to John Schneider's pre-game availability. Finally, Jays radio analyst Chris Leroux stops by (32:56) to share his thoughts on the team's decision to option Yohendrick Piñango, Jesús Sánchez's head-scratching outfield defence, and how Dylan Cease can be more efficient in his start against the Astros.

Jim welcomes award-winning sports journalist and New York Times bestselling author Tim Brown to discuss his new book, Nolan: The Singular Life of an American Original. First, Jim and Tim explore Nolan Ryan's deep connection with the state of Texas (13:02). Then, they debate whether Ryan had the greatest fastball in MLB history, decide which of Ryan's seven no-hitters was the most significant, and consider which of his records could actually be broken (20:40). Finally, they tackle Ryan's place on the all-time pitcher list, deciding whether he's overrated, underappreciated, or properly rated (40:19).

It's a unique telling of Ryan's story, beyond the baseball and at the heart, how one of baseball's best pitchers exemplified what it means to be a Texan. Brown joined the show to discuss his book, which hits bookstores May 19. Coincidentally, Ryan's last two teams, the Rangers and Astros, just played over the weekend, and Houston won two of the three games as the Rangers' offensive short-comings were front and center in the first two games.

With the Rangers sitting at .500, a familiar spot the last two seasons, John and Evan break down the significance of Wyatt Langford's forearm injury and whether all the soft tissue injuries early in his career are a concern. Speaking of concerns, the guys wonder about Corey Seager getting hot, because, as Evan says, the offense isn't really going anywhere until Seager and Langford get on track. And what's the deal with this defense? Then Mark McLemore joins the guys as they continue celebrating the 30th anniversary of the first Rangers playoff team. The Doctor of Defense reminisces about what Johnny Oates meant to his career and how that helped McLemore become a clubhouse leader for the late 1990s Rangers. Finally, John goes back to the Nolan Ryan shelf in the Archives in Arlington to break out a story about the hot start of the 1989 team. Learn more about your ad choices.
