WV Uncommonplace Interviews and Sessions

The Nats losing streak extended to nine games on Monday night as victory slipped through their fingertips in the 6-4 defeat. Mark & Al begin with Kyle Finnegan, who inherited a one run lead in the top of the 9th, but allowed a pair of Rockies homers, the only home runs he has given up this season.(09:00) Brady House went 0 for 3 with a walk in his MLB debut.  House was the #11 overall pick in the 2021 Draft and had a OPS of .872 this season thus far in AAA-Rochester. House looked comfortable defensively and Davey Martinez said pregame that House will be the everyday 3B.(14:40) Daylen Lile hit his first career MLB homer in the bottom of the 5th in his first game since returning from AAA. Lile swapped roster spots with Robert Hassell III after Sunday's defeat.(18:00) James Wood's 2-run HR in the bottom of the 5th put Washington ahead 4-3 until the fateful 9th inning. Wood is now up 18 homers on the season; which is tied for 5th most in the NL.(20:15) Riley Adams got the nod at catcher and is now 0 for his last 30 at the plate. His OPS is down to a paltry .325 and the catching situation continues to worsen for the franchise.(23:15) Jake Irvin gave up a 2-run HR in the top of the 1st and his opening frame ERA is a shocking 10.84; surprisingly more than his Mitchell Parker. Irvin ended his evening with six innings of work off of five hits.(27:15) A discussion on recent Washington Post stories covering the angst within the franchise during this brutal stretch.(36:30) A Nats Chat Flashback from July 19th, 2023 when Brady House was promoted to AA-Harrisburg after a brief stay at High-A Wilmington. 

Johnny Mize is the answer to one of baseball's great trivia questions. You have to listen to find out what it is, but trust me, it's one of Major League Baseball's great statistics, something not even legends such as Babe Ruth, Henry Aaron, or Willie Mays can lay claim to. Mize had a terrific eye at the plate, especially for a power hitter. For his career, he hit 359 homeruns, had a career batting average of .312, and a career OPS of .959. Yet, one could argue, his career was overlooked. This could be because when he played for the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Giants, neither team made it to the post-season. Plus, Mize missed three of his prime years when he served during World War II in 1943, 1944, and 1945. The "Big Cat's" most notable years, however, just might have been the final five when he moved into a part-time role with the New York Yankees and he contributed to one of the game's greatest dynasties when the Bronx Bombers won five straight World Series, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, and 1953. On this episode of Sports' Forgotten Heroes, I take a look back at the career of Johnny Mize with special guest Jerry Grillo who wrote the book, "Big Cat, The Life of Baseball Hall of Famer Jonny Mize."

Joe Starkey thinks it's completely ridiculous that T.J. McConnell did not play for Indiana late in the 4th quarter after electrifying the team in the 3rd. Konnor Griffin is killing the ball at High-A Greensboro. Griffin was named player of the week and batting .401 with a 1.247 OPS.

This past week should have reminded everybody that baseball is a long season.The Phillies followed a gruesome 1-9 stretch – a lot of people thought they were dead -- with a 5-1 homestand against the Cubs and Blue Jays. The offense came to life against two playoff-caliber teams. Brandon Marsh (1.167 OPS), Alec Bohm (1.128 OPS), Otto Kemp (.898 OPS), J.T. Realmuto (.980 OPS), Max Kepler (1.300 OPS), Trea Turner (.820 OPS), Nick Castellanos (.808 OPS) and Kyle Schwarber (.869 OPS) each had big moments against the Cubs and Blue Jays. So did the rotation, led by Zack Wheeler, Ranger Suárez, Cristopher Sánchez and Jesús Luzardo. First Pitch is powered by betPARX Sportsbook and Casino app.It's “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza!

This week, the New York Yankees found themselves in an unexpected turmoil, getting swept by their longtime rivals, the Boston Red Sox, after also losing the previous series to them. Despite a dominant season where Aaron Judge has been an MVP candidate with a .378 average, 26 home runs, and 60 RBIs through June 16, 2025, and the team boasting strong offensive numbers (2nd in HR, 3rd in Runs and OPS), their recent performance, especially the lack of fundamental play and offensive struggles without Judge's consistent heroics, has ignited serious concerns about their World Series aspirations and ability to hold their AL East lead.

Rundown[Intro] Chicago White Sox lose another series, but they played the Houston Astros tough and a few performances spark hope. Miguel Vargas had a monster game on Thursday that demonstrated some nights he's the best position player.[5:52] Who do the White Sox want batting with runners in scoring position? While Vargas has a monster OPS, Edgar Quero seems to have a knack in finding holes in the defense to help drive in runs. [15:36] Shane Smith in back-to-back starts helped the White Sox beat two of the American League's best in Detroit and Houston. He might not be an "Ace" yet, but the White Sox have found themselves a front line starter[26:16] Hello, Grant Taylor. The flamethrower makes his MLB debut and why it's OK to keep him in the bullpen[39:24] Series Preview: Texas Rangers. Why Texas reminds me of Buc-ee's, and can the White Sox keep it close against one of the best starting pitching staffs in baseball?[52:47] The College World Series starts this weekend, and if there's one game to watch, it's LSU vs. Arkansas on Saturday night.

After a scorching start to the 2025 season, CJ Abrams found himself in a tough 17-game slump, batting just .143 with a .430 OPS. As the Nationals opened their series against the Mets, questions swirled: would Abrams let the slump derail his All-Star campaign, or could he bounce back in time to make a run toward his second straight Midsummer Classic — this time in his hometown of Atlanta? Tuesday night offered a promising sign. Abrams went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, and a hit-by-pitch — his best performance since mid-May and a clear reminder of what he can bring when he's locked in at the top of the lineup. The turnaround came after a brief break from the lineup and a pregame conversation with manager Davey Martinez focused on one thing: pitch selection. Abrams responded by staying disciplined at the plate and attacking pitches in the strike zone. His teammates and manager praised the performance, noting his ability to impact the game in every scoring sequence. Now, the key to sustaining this form will be limiting chase rates and maintaining his patient, aggressive approach. If he can do that, Abrams could not only carry the Nationals' offense but punch his ticket to the All-Star Game in front of a hometown crowd.

What if the monsters from your worst nightmares were real? What if there was an entire hidden war being fought in America's wilderness areas that the government will never acknowledge? Tonight's episode features an extraordinary firsthand account from someone calling himself  "Marcus" - a soldier who claims to be part of an elite military unit that doesn't officially exist. According to Marcus, his team handles the situations that are too dangerous, too weird, or too embarrassing for regular military and law enforcement to touch.In this chilling email confession sent exclusively to our show, Marcus details his unit's encounters with creatures that challenge everything we think we know about what's really out there. From massive, intelligent Sasquatch that hunt humans like prey, to crashed UFOs containing beings conducting horrific experiments on abducted Americans, to savage feral human communities that have abandoned all traces of civilization.Marcus describes battles with cryptid creatures in underground cave systems, government cover-ups of alien technology recovery operations, and organized groups of feral people who view other humans as nothing more than food sources. According to his account, these aren't isolated incidents - they're part of an ongoing shadow conflict that most Americans have no idea is happening in the forests and wilderness areas around them.Whether you believe Marcus's claims or not, his detailed descriptions of tactical operations, government protocols, and creature encounters paint a disturbing picture of a hidden world existing alongside our own. His military background comes through in every line, from his operational terminology to his matter-of-fact descriptions of extreme violence.WARNING: This episode contains extremely graphic descriptions of violence, death, cannibalism, and torture that may be disturbing to some listeners. The content includes detailed accounts of human and animal mutilation, psychological trauma, and systematic predation that some may find deeply unsettling.This episode is not suitable for younger audiences or those sensitive to graphic violence and horror themes.Listener discretion is strongly advised.

The Nats got a taste of their own recent medicine as Texas blanked them 5-0 on Saturday afternoon on South Capitol Street.  Al & Mark run through some of the recent offensive slumps as the team has only scored nine runs in their past six games.  (05:00) Nathaniel Lowe went 1 for 3 in facing his former team. Lowe's OPS is a troubling .650, much lower than when it was .785 at the end of April. His last homer came on May 16th in Baltimore.(09:45) Jacob deGrom was dominant on Saturday in seven shutout frames and looked like the pitcher we remember from the Mets. The two-time Cy Young winner has undergone a pair of Tommy John surgeries.(15:40) Mitchell Parker continued his trend of struggling in the 1st inning, but then settled in from there.  Hear what Davey Martinez said when asked by Mark about the possibility of using an "Opener".(24:00) It was not Cole Henry's day as he issued three walks and a balk. Eduardo Salazar has the roughest afternoon as he allowed three runs in the top of the 8th to let the game get out of reach.

In dieser aktuellen geheimnissvollen Ladylike-Folge sprechen Yvonne und Nicole darüber, dass jeder Mensch gewisse Geheimnisse hat. Eigentlich, so finden die Podcasterinnen sind Geheimnisse oft negativ behaftet, Nicole hat aber kürzlich darüber gelesen, dass es sogar gut sein kann, Geheimnisse zu haben und zu wahren. Offen, ehrlich und herrlich unterhaltsam fragen sich die beiden: Warum behalten wir bestimmte Dinge für uns – und ist das eigentlich schlimm?Nicole erzählt von ihrer Tochter, die einen Schatz im Garten vergrub – samt Designer-Schal als Schutzverpackung. Yvonne erinnert sich an modderverschmierte Kindheitshosen und Mütter mit Röntgenblick. Und beide sind sich einig: Geheimnisse beginnen früh, doch sie hören nie ganz auf. Ob kleine Lügen vor den Eltern, Schönheitsbehandlungen im Verborgenen, versteckte Sexualität oder tabuisierte Geldfragen – die Hosts entlarven charmant und klug, wie sehr Scham und Angst oft mit im Spiel sind.Die Folge stützt sich auf eine spannende Studie: Erwachsene haben im Schnitt 13 Geheimnisse. Nicole und Yvonne diskutieren, ob man in einer Partnerschaft wirklich alles erzählen sollte – oder ob es nicht sogar gesund ist, kleine Räume nur für sich zu behalten. Auch in Familien tun sich oft Abgründe auf, weil nie offen gesprochen wird. Das Schweigen – ein Erbe der Nachkriegsgeneration? Und was macht es mit uns, wenn wir unser wahres Ich verstecken (müssen)?Auch in Sachen Erotik gilt: Viele schweigen lieber. Selbst über Selbstbefriedigung wird selten geredet – obwohl sie längst enttabuisiert sein sollte. Doch die Sextoy-Revolution bringt Bewegung ins Thema. Ob Schönheits-OPs, gleichgeschlechtliche Liebe oder die Opernleidenschaft im Wohnzimmer – Yvonne und Nicole plädieren für mehr Toleranz, Offenheit und Respekt. Doch: Nicht alles muss gesagt werden. Hört rein in die neue Folge und erfahrt, welche Geheimnisse einfach nur uns gehören dürfen...Habt Ihr selbst erotische Erfahrungen, eine Frage oder Story, über die Yvonne & Nicole im Ladylike-Podcast sprechen sollen?

The Nats crushed the Mariners 9-0 on Wednesday night on an evening where they hit four homers.  Mark (From Seattle) & Al note how the team continued its pattern of the early innings dictating the rest of the way as they hit Back to Back home runs in the top of the 2nd.(06:00) James Wood hit a moonshot for his 15th homer of the season. Wood's OPS is at .949 and is the 5th highest in the NL.(12:10) Robert Hassell III hit his 1st career Big League homer.  Hassell had a big evening as he collected a trio of hits in the victory.(14:45) Josh Bell also homered and had three hits in the victory.  There is added pressure on Bell as Andres Chaparro has been activated in AAA.(20:30) The embattled Trevor Williams had a great outing as he tossed six scoreless frames on just 76 pitches. It was good timing for Williams as Cade Cavalli pitched well in AAA on Wednesday afternoon.(28:00) MacKenzie Gore will take the mound on Thursday night in the rubber match.  Gore leads all of MLB with 93 strikeouts so far this season; one ahead of Detroit's Tarik Skubal. 

Nathan brings his trademark clarity and multidimensional awareness to help us piece together the hidden architecture of control—and how to spiritually defend against it.

Well dear listener, you enjoyed last week's episode with Oneka John so much, we've asked her back for a Part II. This week we uncover the challenges and potential pitfalls of importing wine into Barbados. While there are some things more unique to this beautiful island, we uncover some universal truths about forecasting, cash flow, and the perennial Ops vs. Sales. We also raise the question once again as to whether wine is an FMCG product (bet you can't guess what we think).   From there we consider the community surrounding wine and how to make it more accessible and inviting. Oneka talks about her Perfectly Paired events and how she uses her immense market and product knowledge to invite, excite, and engage a wide variety of consumers in the burgeoning wine scene. We look at how WSET works in the classroom setting and how it can be amended and utilised in the more consumer focused arenas. Just what is quality and how can we encourage drinkers into the discussion.   There's a lot here that will resonate and shows how the challenges and opportunities echo across the trade globally.    Once again, with enormous thanks to our wonderful guest Oneka for finding the time to talk to Lee, and apologies that Ferg wasn't on hand to do a proper job.   TM&TM: Perfectly Paired Sandying your Lane from Thursday morning.   @onekajohn @vignobleswineconsultancy @fergelias #podcast #wine #winecast #Barbados #import #distribution.

On May 27, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds secured a commanding 7-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium, clinching the series and showcasing their offensive and pitching prowess. The game, part of a three-game set, saw the Reds improve to 28-28, while the Royals dropped to 29-26. The standout performance came from shortstop Elly De La Cruz, whose two towering home runs electrified the crowd and powered the Reds' offense. De La Cruz's bombs, described as “massive” by MLB's official account, were pivotal in building a lead that Kansas City couldn't overcome. Brady Singer, facing his former team, delivered a masterful performance on the mound for Cincinnati. The right-hander pitched seven strong innings, allowing just two runs while scattering hits and keeping the Royals' bats quiet. Singer's command was evident as he navigated a lineup that has struggled offensively, with Kansas City ranking 13th in the American League with a .664 team OPS. His ability to settle down after a shaky start and pitch into the seventh inning was lauded by fans and analysts alike, with posts on X noting his “great job” and efficiency. The Reds' offense complemented Singer's gem with timely hitting. TJ Friedl reached base four times, including a bunt single, while Santiago Espinal chipped in with two hits. The team's aggressive approach at the plate capitalized on Royals pitcher Daniel Lynch IV, who was making only his second start of the season after transitioning from the bullpen. Cincinnati's early scoring set the tone, and De La Cruz's homers in the middle innings put the game out of reach. Defensively, the Reds were sharp, with manager Terry Francona's strategic decisions paying dividends. Ian Gibaut closed out the game, securing the five-run lead. The victory was celebrated across Reds' fanbase, with outlets like FOX19 and RedsDaily4 highlighting the team's balanced attack and Hunter Greene's upcoming start for a potential sweep on May 28. Despite injuries to key players like Jake Fraley and Jeimer Candelario, the Reds showed resilience, leveraging their young talent and veteran leadership. This win underscored their potential in a competitive NL Central, setting the stage for a critical series finale.

In the final 2025 episode of Husker Heat, the host recapped an unforgettable season for Nebraska softball, fresh off a road trip to Knoxville for the Super Regional. Nebraska narrowly missed advancing, losing two close games to Tennessee after an opening win. Jordy Bahl pitched all 21 innings and continued to prove she's among the nation's elite. The Huskers finished 43–15 overall, 17–5 in the Big Ten, and ranked in the top 20 nationally across all major polls. They also smashed numerous school records—including team batting average (.356), home runs (107), slugging percentage (.648), and OPS (1.086). Jordy Bahl hit .475 and set a program record with 23 home runs. Looking to 2026, the team returns most starters, including an elite infield and outfield core. Key roster losses include Ava Bredwell and Abby Squire. The main holes to address are catcher and backup pitching. Meanwhile, Nebraska baseball surged late, winning the Big Ten Tournament and advancing to the Chapel Hill Regional. The show also featured humorous moments, fan banter, and deep appreciation for Jordy Bahl's leadership both on and off the field. As the episode closed, the hosts looked ahead to continuing their podcast journey—with hopes of hosting a regional in front of packed home crowds next season.

The Nats won their 4th straight on Tuesday night as they topped the visiting Braves 5-3. Al & Mark have a lot to get to as Dylan Crews homered in the victory, but was removed mid-game because of a back issue, and that means Robert Hassell III is getting called up from AAA-Rochester. Hassell is one of the pieces from the 2022 Juan Soto trade with the San Diego Padres.(05:50) Jacob Young did not play for a second straight game due to crashing his shoulder into the Camden Yards' wall on Saturday. It is unclear if Young or Crews will be headed to the IL, and that likely will be decided after Crews' MRI on Wednesday morning.(10:00) Hassell's OPS is at .742 this season with four homers. He had a pair of doubles on Tuesday night in Syracuse prior to getting informed that he is headed to Washington.(14:30) The Nats offense continued their recent string of hot starts by scoring three runs right away against Atlanta's Spencer Strider.  They totaled eight hits in the win, but also had multiple terrible base running mistakes.(18:10) Mitchell Parker's outing was marred by a bad top of the 2nd where he gave up all three of his runs.  It was the 5th consecutive Parker start that was not classified as "good".(20:15) The bullpen teamed up for nearly four scoreless innings.  Kyle Finnegan punctuated the effort with a clean 1-2-3 inning for his 15th save of the year, which leads all of MLB.(26:10) Per the Washington Post, the team's Chief Revenue Officer and the Chief Marketing Officer left their positions earlier this month.  What does that mean in the bigger picture or isolated personnel moves?

The Rockets could complete their roster by keeping Steven Adams and trading either Reed Sheppard or the 10th overall pick for a smaller move. Some of the core guys on the Astros are struggling with less than a .700 OPS and the team looks completely different from years past. What Texans' player would be best in the Olympics? Should NFL superstars join and is it safe to do so?

The Nats continued to hammer Orioles pitching in their 10-4 win on Sunday afternoon. Mark (From Camden Yards) & Al discuss the Nationals first series sweep since mid July last season.  Washington also dominated the Battle of the Beltways this year by winning five of the six meetings.(03:30) The offense combined for five homers on Sunday and the team now has 50 home runs in 48 games this season.  CJ Abrams went deep in both the 1st & 2nd innings to lift his OPS this season to an impressive .942.(08:00) The other homers came from Dylan Crews, Luis Garcia Jr., and Josh Bell.  The team's increase in power this season leads to the hosts evaluating the hitting coach Darnell Coles, who is in the 4th season with the organization.(14:05) Michael Soroka earned the win after 5.2 IP and allowing three runs in the process. It is Soroka's first recorded victory since July 21st, 2023 while pitching for the Braves.(19:10) Brad Lord only lasted an inning in relief of Soroka despite inheriting a big lead. Al points out that not only is Lord a reliever instead of a starter right now, he isn't being utilized that often for long relief.(26:15) Washington has a well deserved day off on Monday before opening a three game series in Navy Yard vs. the Braves on Tuesday.  Thursday is a pitching matchup worth circling as Chris Sale takes on fellow lefty MacKenzie Gore.

Fantasy Baseball Live – May 18, 2025Microsoft Teams:Segments 1 and 2 – Review games of the weekendAdditional Notes1.Surprise, surprise, the Orioles fired their manager and then promptly lost their next game. They have a team ERA of 5.42, which ranks last in the American League and is the third worst in MLB. I understand that this happens (blame the manager), but ownership claimed they would spend money and simply have not. Thoughts?a.Oddly, the Marlins are among the teams with a worse ERA than the Orioles. Let's examine their rotation.2.Matthew Lugo with another home run on Saturday.3.Clayton Kershaw got a start, and it didn't go very well. His fastball maxed out at 90.9 MPH. Is Kershaw the new Tommy Malone?a.Will he have success?4.Seth Halvorsen got the save opportunity in Colorado. It was the first save opportunity in over two weeks. Do we care about this?5.Remember when Rafael Devers was struggling. He's now hitting .284 and hit his eighth home run on Saturday – a walk-off6.The five hottest players by OPS last week:a.Cal Raleigh (C, Sea) – 6 for 18, 3 HR, 1 SBb.Kyle Stowers (OF, Mia) – 8 for 22, 3 HRc.Wilmer Flores (1B, SF) – 8 for 21, 3 HRd.Ivan Herrera (C, STL) – 10 for 21, 1 HRe.Josh Jung (3B, Tex) – 10 for 25, 4 HR Segment 3: Waiver WireSegment 4: Closer ReportClose

Cincinnati Reds Sweep Guardians with Will Benson's Heroics The Cincinnati Reds completed a stunning three-game sweep of the Cleveland Guardians on May 18, 2025, at Great American Ball Park, their first such sweep of their in-state rivals since 2012. The series, part of the 2025 Ohio Cup, showcased the Reds' resurgence, with outfielder Will Benson emerging as the standout performer. Benson, a former Guardian, tormented his old team, hitting four home runs across the series, including a career-first two-homer game in the 3-1 finale. On Friday, his second-inning homer and two RBIs sparked a 5-4 win. Saturday's solo shot in a 4-1 victory marked his third straight game with a homer, and Sunday's two blasts drove in all three Reds runs. Since his May 9 call-up from Triple-A, Benson has been scorching, batting .423 (11-for-26) with five homers in eight games, a stark contrast to his .650 OPS in 2024. His plate discipline, honed with hitting coach Chris Valaika, has been key: “I'm swinging at pitches I want and taking those I don't,” Benson said. The Reds' pitching complemented Benson's offensive explosion. Starter Andrew Abbott delivered five gritty, scoreless innings on Sunday, navigating a bases-loaded jam. The bullpen, including closer Emilio Pagán's third save in three days, limited Cleveland to six runs across the series. Cleveland struggled, going 2-for-16 with runners in scoring position in the finale. This sweep, following a 7-1 rout of the Chicago White Sox, propelled the Reds to .500 (24-24) and ignited momentum heading into a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Benson's power surge, paired with Cincinnati's crisp play, signals a team finding its rhythm under manager Terry Francona

The Nats immediately jumped out to a 6-0 edge on their way to Saturday's 10-6 victory at Camden Yards. Mark (From Baltimore) & Al convene after the Nationals third win in the past four days and their 2nd in a row at the Orioles. (04:30) Jacob Young crashed into the wall in the 7th and exited the game. X-rays were negative and it seems like no major injury was incurred. (08:00) Washington dominated Kyle Gibson in the opening inning by batting around and scoring six runs. The first out did not come until the 7th hitter and Young concluded the hit parade with a RBI triple. (12:20) Keibert Ruiz had a pair of hits, including a RBI double. Ruiz's OPS is .700 and is playing better defense than last season. (15:45) Despite entering the bottom of the 9th with a 10-2 lead, Kyle Finnegan had to warm up while Zach Brzykcy mightily struggled to get the final three outs. (18:15) Update on Derek Law, who has been on the IL all season due to right forearm inflammation. (22:00) Jake Irvin gave up five hits and allowed two runs in just over six innings of work. Irvin's ERA currently sits at 3.88, but Al notes the continuing trend of his declining velocity. (26:30) Brandon Hyde was fired as Orioles Manager on Saturday morning as they are in last place. Hyde & Davey Martinez worked together for years in Chicago, including when the Cubs won the 2016 World Series. Hyde took over in Baltimore; one season after Martinez came to D.C.

The tech landscape is evolving faster than ever! Even if you've been in a traditional Ops role, knowing "how developers do" is essential knowledge. In this talk Andrew Fawcett, Heroku VP of Developer Relations will talk with us about how YOU can evolve your career and your development game using AI the RIGHT way.

Empezamos con la polémica de Rafael Devers, quien a pesar de los comentarios, sigue encendido con un AVG de .390 y OPS de 1.139 en sus últimos 15 juegos. ¿Está su actitud bajo la lupa o simplemente rinde sin importar las críticas?También hablamos de:

The Nats lost 5-2 in Atlanta on Tuesday night for their 7th consecutive defeat. Al & Tim run through the rotten state of affairs and wonder if any big changes are on the horizon as Washington is now nine games below .500 (17-26) through 43 games.(09:30) CJ Abrams homered on the first pitch of the game, his 5th of the season, and his OPS is up to .880.(10:45) Dylan Crews struck out to end the game on a questionable call. Crews' struggles at the plate are continuing as his batting average currently sits at .181.(17:30) Michael Soroka only lasted four innings on 81 pitches. Brad Lord relieved him and didn't do well as he allowed the Braves to take the lead for good, but also did not get much help from the defense behind him.(22:05) Cole Henry tossed a scoreless inning and has not given up a run in the month of May.  Henry only has one bad outing this season, when he gave up 5 runs in the series finale vs. the Mets in late April.(28:00) Pete Rose was removed from MLB's Permanently Ineligible list by Commissioner Rob Manfred and this could lead to him eventually getting into Cooperstown.(34:00) The weekly AAA report from Josh Whetzel, the voice of the Rochester Red Wings.

Bryce Harper seems a little frustrated. His numbers (.770 OPS) are not bad, but they are not to his normal standard. Harper shaved his head the other night to try and snap out of his funk. Rich Hofmann and Bob Cooney will talk about Bryce and more Phillies developments on the PHLY Phillies Show.

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg talk about players receiving threats, the Rockies ineptitude and other betting stories around Major League Baseball. In this episode of "The Inside Pitch" recorded on May 12, Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers discuss the controversy surrounding Lance McCullers Jr., his disastrous return, and the broader implications of gambling culture in MLB. McCullers, in his second start after a two-year injury hiatus, surrendered seven runs in a 10-run first inning against the Reds, registering just one out, giving up three hits, three walks, and one home run. Post-game, McCullers and his family received death threats, which Towers attributed to the toxic intersection of sports betting and fan entitlement. Towers emphasized that no athlete intentionally underperforms and that threatening players over wagers is unacceptable. Seidenberg concurred, adding that the accessibility of players via social media exacerbates the issue. McCullers expressed frustration, noting he only wants to perform for the Astros while ensuring his family's safety. Shifting focus to live betting strategies, Seidenberg recounted betting the Astros team total over 3.5 runs during the blowout, leveraging the assumption that weak bullpen arms would enter early. Towers supported this approach, explaining that such scenarios often lead to high-scoring games due to less effective relievers being used and pitchers potentially experimenting with pitches under low-pressure conditions. They dissected Brady Singer's outing, noting he stuck to his sinker-slider mix, throwing 30 sinkers, 15 sliders, and four cutters, struggling post the 45-minute delay. The discussion broadened to emphasize that blowouts offer learning opportunities for pitchers, enabling them to test pitches in-game situations they'd avoid in tighter contests. Attention turned to the Rockies' collapse, particularly their 21-0 loss to the Padres, followed by Bud Black's firing. Towers criticized the Rockies' misuse of pitchers, particularly exposing young arms like Blaylock to overwhelming situations, likely contributing to organizational dysfunction. Betting-wise, the Rockies were highlighted as historically profitable to fade, with 30 of their 33 losses by multiple runs and a 5-29 record in first-five innings. Seidenberg recommended automatic daily run line fades against the Rockies. Broader betting trends were analyzed, including the Mets' 29-12 first-five innings under record and the Royals' similar 30-12 mark. The Mariners surprisingly leaned to the over. The conversation shifted to player performance futures. Kyle Schwarber's 46-game on-base streak, 14 home runs, and .404 OBP were celebrated, with Seidenberg suggesting profitable betting strategies targeting Schwarber to reach base safely in his first plate appearance using various app markets. Josh Towers and Seidenberg also agreed that Freddie Freeman's .367 average and league-best OPS made him undervalued at +1100 for the NL MVP, criticizing how consistently elite players are often overlooked in futures markets. In Cy Young discussions, Wheeler was favored in the NL at +700 due to his 58 innings, 2.95 ERA, and 0.91 WHIP, while Skubal and Eovaldi were highlighted in the AL. Hunter Brown was noted as a legitimate contender, given his cleaned-up mechanics and plus stuff. The Rookie of the Year race saw Jacob Wilson as AL favorite, while Luis Angel Acuna led the NL despite modest power numbers, with Towers skeptical of his long-term viability. They concluded by discussing rookie dark horses and emphasized the difficulty pitchers face sustaining excellence across a full season, all while promoting Pregame.com's latest offers.

The Nats won their first road series of the season after a 4-1 victory over the Reds on Sunday afternoon. Mark (From Cincinnati) & Al note the bullpen having a solid weekend and instilling a bit more confidence as of late.(04:40) MacKenzie Gore extended his MLB lead for strikeouts this season by whiffing nine Reds in the series finale.  Gore fought through muddy conditions to make it through the bottom of the 5th as the rain intensified in what was his last inning of work.(13:00) Three Nationals relievers combined for four scoreless frames after Gore departed. Jorge Lopez tossed two innings on his way to earning the win.  Lopez has five consecutive scoreless appearance and all of them have come in high leverage situations.(16:10) Luis Garcia Jr. hit the go ahead solo homer to give Washington a 2-1 lead in the top of the 7th.  Garcia hit two homers on the road trip and his OPS this season is at .642.(20:00) The Nats begin a three game series vs. Cleveland on Monday night in Navy Yard.  There is some mystery as to who will start on Wednesday afternoon as it could either be Trevor Williams or Michael Soroka.  Brad Lord is slated to start the middle game on Tuesday evening.  (26:30) Jim Callis from MLB Pipeline previews the options for the Nationals this summer when they select the top pick in the Draft on July 13th.
