Cleveland rallies from down 5-0 with a 10-inning, no-home-run comeback behind Jose Ramirez's five RBIs and a highlight-reel catch from Angel Martinez, pushing their playoff odds to 56%. That win sets off a debate about whether just reaching the postseason still means anything for a team that's made it eight of the last 11 years, with one host comparing the Guardians' underdog run to a scrappy college football program getting by on heart instead of money. The conversation gets heated over how much slack a low-payroll team deserves versus bigger-market rivals like the Blue Jays and Red Sox, and whether anything short of an ALDS win will actually feel like a real accomplishment this October.

The Washington Nationals just delivered one of their most complete wins of the season, shutting out the Chicago Cubs 7-0 behind a dominant performance from Cade Cavalli and another explosive game from Abimelec Ortiz. Cavalli was spectacular, throwing 8 innings of one-hit, shutout baseball with 10 strikeouts and 2 walks, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning. After weeks of rotation uncertainty and the trade of Foster Griffin, could Cavalli finally be emerging as the frontline starter Washington desperately needs? Then there's Ortiz. The rookie went 2-for-4 with 3 RBIs and another home run, pushing his early MLB totals to 4 homers, a .345 average and a 1.160 OPS through 11 games. The sample size is tiny, but the Nationals now have no choice but to find out exactly what they have. We'll break down why this 7-0 win matters beyond the standings, what Cavalli's performance means for the Nationals' pitching future, why Ortiz is becoming impossible to ignore, and whether Washington can carry this momentum into a nine-game road trip through New York, Texas and Miami. The Nationals aren't fixed. But suddenly, there are reasons to believe the future might be arriving sooner than expected. #Nationals #Nats #MLB #Natitude #CadeCavalli #AbimelecOrtiz Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. It was Munetaka Murakami bobblehead day on the South Side and he absolutely delivered. Two home runs and six RBIs to help the Sox beat up on Houston. Murakami has been relatively quiet since returning from his hamstring injury. Hopefully this is the start of another run. The Sox are enjoying a 2.5 game lead in the Central and should be planning to be buyers. With Teel being out, is a catcher the focus or should the Sox land a starter or bullpen arm? Big stretch against the Yankees and Rays coming up. One game at a time. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

The Pirates took two out of three from the Cleveland Guardians over the weekend. Billy Cook had two RBIs and threw a runner out! Do you feel good about the series? We are glad they took two out of there but it feels like they left things out on the table.

What is the thing that snakes live in called? Crowley breaks down his top four moments from the Pirates' first half of the season. Bryan Reynolds' walk-off home run vs old friend Derek Shelton, Esmerlyn Valdez's grand slam, Tyler Callihan hitting his home run off Shohei Ohtani, and Ryan O'Hearn's 3 home runs and 10 RBIs make up the list.

Paul Skenes had a very weird interaction with a reporter last night. During his media availability, a reporter called him a "future Yankee". Crowley says that this is the only sport where that happens. The reporter was chastised by many in the Pittsburgh media. The All Star Game is meant to be fun and now it has been tarnished for Pirates fans. Jeff Passan said that the new format was going to suck, Bryce Harper kicked Rob Manfred out of a locker room, and Paul Skenes was told he is going to be a future Yankee. This is where we are in baseball right now. Crowley says we are entering a very dark period in the sport. What is the thing that snakes live in called? Crowley breaks down his top four moments from the Pirates' first half of the season. Bryan Reynolds' walk-off home run vs old friend Derek Shelton, Esmerlyn Valdez's grand slam, Tyler Callihan hitting his home run off Shohei Ohtani, and Ryan O'Hearn's 3 home runs and 10 RBIs make up the list. A lot of people texted in that Konnor Griffin's RBI double in his debut should have been among Crowley's best moments.This is the most fun Pirates team to watch since when? Even though there have been some really bad losses so far this year, they have been a lot of fun to watch. Nick Yorke's walk off single in the series against the Orioles is another honorable mention. Crowley says don't eat your veggies unless you cook them. There is something going around and veggies are to blame. Apple Cider season is almost upon us meaning it is almost time for football.

The New York Mets suffered a crushing corner infield blow as breakout third baseman Mark Vientos was placed on the injured list with a confirmed hand fracture. Corey Pieper breaks down a seismic wave of injury updates, massive impact rookie activations, high-strikeout pitching performances, and the latest FanDuel Bet of the Day. The injury bug continues to drastically alter fantasy rosters as Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez lands on the injured list with a groin strain, Zack Gelof is managing a new knee injury, and top outfield prospect Owen Caissie is expected to miss two to four weeks with a mild right calf strain. In response to these vacancies, Ryan Waldschmidt has been recalled to the big leagues while Pavin Smith was designated for assignment. On the positive side, massive offensive reinforcements have officially arrived as the Texas Rangers activated rookie sensation Wyatt Langford, and international superstar Munetaka Murakami has been activated to make his highly anticipated impact. Roster managers are also tracking solid rehab progression as Patrick Sandoval threw 4.1 innings of one-run ball and Logan Henderson logged 5.1 frames. An electric daily slate of performances featured elite strikeout upside on the mound. Gavin Williams put together an absolute masterclass with 11 strikeouts over seven brilliant innings, matched by Jesus Luzardo racking up 11 punchouts across seven frames of two-hit ball. Nathan Eovaldi fanned ten batters over six frames, Framber Valdez fired seven innings of one-run ball with nine strikeouts, and Sean Manaea, Trevor Rogers, and Brady Singer turned in high-quality extended outings. Offensively, Tyler Tolbert's teammate Jake Mangum went 4-for-5 out of the leadoff spot, Ben Rice launched two home runs with five RBIs, and Esmerlyn Valdez and Bryan Reynolds hit back-to-back home runs, alongside long balls from Seiya Suzuki, Dominic Canzone, Brice Turang, and Jordan Walker, while Josh Naylor flashed surprising speed with two stolen bases. Conversely, Austin Riley bottomed out with a four-strikeout collar, Elly De La Cruz punched out three times in a hitless night, and starting pitchers Michael Wacha, Drew Rasmussen, Bryce Miller, and Andre Pallante were thoroughly blasted.

A blockbuster Thursday slate shook the fantasy baseball universe to its absolute core, delivering a slate-breaking power clinic from a top-tier young phenom alongside an elite pitching performance that flirted with absolute perfection. Corey Pieper returns to break down the massive fantasy fallout, highlighting league-winning offensive explosions, high-leverage pitching meltdowns, crucial injury timelines, and an enticing underdog look for the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The Tampa Bay Rays put on an absolute masterclass that dominated the fantasy landscape. Infield cornerstone Junior Caminero logged a historic, slate-shattering first career three-home run game, punishing Royals pitching to the tune of 6 RBIs in a 13-2 rout. Right behind him on the mound, Ian Seymour put together a breathtaking bulk-relief performance, carrying a collective no-hit bid into the late frames while spinning 6.2 hitless, scoreless innings with seven strikeouts. Elsewhere in the league, young frontline arms flashed jaw-dropping upside. Bryce Miller weaponized an uncatchable arsenal to fan 11 batters over 5.2 frames, Tatsuya Imai fanned 10 in a stellar 6-inning duel to outlast Troy Melton, and Connelly Early logged nine punchouts to match Cam Schlittler's electric 9-strikeout showcase. After an agonizing slump, Freddy Peralta finally provided a massive sigh of relief for his fantasy managers, bouncing back beautifully from his previous shellacking to fire 5.2 brilliant, scoreless innings. Meanwhile, the power surges continued at the dish, as Caleb Durbin launched another long ball, and Texas phenom Wyatt Langford kept his blistering hot streak alive by clearing the fences yet again. On the flip side, several high-investment foundational players completely tanked fantasy ratios on Thursday. Premium righty Seth Lugo was targeted early and often, completely unraveling to surrender seven earned runs in just five painful innings. Kevin Gausman similarly hit a devastating structural roadblock, shelled for six earned runs on 10 hard hits across six laborious frames. Relief depth took a massive hit too, as Gus Varland collapsed out of the bullpen, tagged for five earned runs while failing to finish his second frame. High-profile rookies also endured a harsh reality check, with both Jac Caglianone and Nick Kurtz going completely quiet, turning in empty 0-for-4 nights anchored by three empty strikeouts apiece. The active fantasy landscape is bracing for a monumental weekend wave of high-impact activations and structural shifts. Roster reinforcements are officially incoming as dynamic shortstop centerpiece Bobby Witt Jr. is anticipated to make his highly awaited return to lineups today, and Corey Seager is officially back in action. Arizona's active rotation gets an immediate jolt with Brandon Pfaadt taking the bump today, newly flanked by veteran Max Kepler, who officially linked up with the Diamondbacks yesterday. However, it's not all positive news; Toronto suffers a blow as infield stabilizer Spencer Horwitz heads to the injured list, Oakland's Zack Gelof lands on the IL with a hand fracture, and the Cubs lose depth with Ben Brown sidelined due to a neck issue. Meanwhile, fantasy managers are keeping a vigilant eye on young catcher Cooper Ingle and tracking Matthew Boyd's progress as he works back toward rotation durability after a 4.2-inning buildup outing. We close out the broadcast with our signature Friday Pitching Planner segment, analyzing the essential arms you need to stream, start, or sit to guarantee your team locks down those crucial weekend category matchups.

A wild weekend of fantasy baseball action delivered jaw-dropping power displays and unexpected pitching disasters, leaving managers to navigate an increasingly volatile landscape. Corey Pieper breaks down a massive slate of weekend results, major injury updates, catastrophic pitching lines, and the latest FanDuel Bet of the Day. The long ball took center stage on Saturday and Sunday. Kyle Schwarber put on a masterclass with a historic three-home run performance on Saturday, while Ozzie Albies, Jeremy Peña, Ty France, top draft picks Travis Bazzana and JJ Wetherholt, and collegiate phenom Jac Caglianone all left the yard twice over the weekend. Bryce Harper electrified fantasy managers by hitting for the cycle on Saturday, William Contreras put together a massive 4-for-5 day with a home run and 3 RBIs, and Wyatt Langford continued his hot streak, launching another long ball while handling leadoff duties on Sunday. On the mound, Joey Cantillo was nearly untouchable, carrying a gem through eight innings with nine strikeouts and just one earned run, while young arms like Cam Schlittler racked up an incredible 13 strikeouts, and Troy Melton fired six innings of one-hit ball. Veteran Logan Webb went the distance with an eight-inning complete game, and Nathan Eovaldi bounced back from a skipped start to log nine strikeouts over six strong frames. It wasn't all celebration, however, as several frontline aces ran into absolute buzzsaws. Freddy Peralta endured a catastrophic nightmare, knocked out after coughing up 10 earned runs on 10 hits in just 2.2 innings. Bryce Elder was tagged for eight earned runs on 12 hits, while Kevin Gausman got rocked for seven earned runs while walking four in just two innings. Stephen Kolek gave up nine earned runs in less than two frames, and Dustin May surrendered six earned runs in a brief two-inning appearance. Even steady stars hit speed bumps, as Jacob deGrom was tagged for six earned runs over six frames, and Tarik Skubal surrendered two home runs in a shaky 5.2-inning performance. The injury landscape remains highly active and critical for upcoming roster decisions. On the bright side, ace Brandon Woodruff and Shane Bieber are both set to make highly anticipated returns to the mound on Monday, Eury Perez is expected back next week, and Daulton Varsho made an immediate impact upon his return with a three-run blast. However, the Baltimore Orioles suffer a massive blow as star catcher Adley Rutschman lands on the 7-day concussion injured list after a freak collision, while MVP candidate Bobby Witt Jr. is dealing with a Grade 1 MCL sprain. Elly De La Cruz is targeting a Tuesday return, and Teoscar Hernandez is eyeing a June 29th comeback, but Ryne Nelson (flexor), Michael Soroka (glute), Jordan Lawlar (hamstring), and Jack Leiter (ankle) all face structural setbacks.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: The Pirates are 39-39 and went 3-3 on the road trip. The Pirates were three games over .500 when Konnor Griffin and Oneil Cruz got hurt. Bryan Reynolds is having an incredible year and is on pace for 100 runs scored and 100 RBIs.

The Edmonton Riverhawks find themselves at 6-11 through their first 17 games and looking to snap a three-game losing streak as they continue a critical road trip before returning home next week. Riverhawks Head Coach Jake Lanferman joins the show to assess where his club stands compared to expectations coming out of spring camp, whether the record accurately reflects the way his team has played and where he's seen the most growth since Opening Day. We'll also discuss the factors behind the slow start, the consistency of the pitching staff and whether a few costly innings have been the difference between several wins and losses. Coach Lanferman shares what the Riverhawks look like when they're playing their best baseball and identifies the areas that still need to improve if the club is going to climb the standings. Plus, we take a look at the ever-changing nature of summer collegiate baseball, including the possibility of roster additions as the season progresses and where the organization may be looking to add depth. We'll also spotlight one of the brightest stories of the season so far, as Easton Andrews continues to tear up the West Coast League. Hitting .404 and leading the league with 23 RBIs, Andrews has been a driving force offensively, and Coach explains what makes him such a difficult matchup for opposing pitchers. Finally, we discuss the importance of this road trip, the leadership voices emerging inside the clubhouse and why Lanferman remains confident that this team has its best baseball ahead of it despite the challenging start.

Fantasy Baseball Live – June 7, 2026 – 3 pm ETSegments 1 and 2 – Review of the weekend gamesAdditional Notes:1.Tanner Bibee with a great game on Saturday. They announced on the game that he was the least supported starter in baseball this season.2.Imai with another good start on Saturday – 5 IP, 5 hits, 2 ER, 8K/3BB. That's three in a row, including the no-hitter.a.Is he turning the corner?3.Sure it was the Angels, but Roki Sasaki looked great on Friday. 7 IP, 2 hits, 0 ER, 10K/2BB. He's been particularly good over his past four starts.a.Has he turned things around?b.Who would you rather have the rest of the Season – Imai or Sasaki?4.Royce Lewis is back in the Majors. I wrote last week that he was red hot and would likely see a return. Here's what I wrote.a.What are you thoughts on his return?Royce Lewis is making a loud statement for a return to Minnesota. In 13 games, he's hit 10 home runs and posted a .358 average. More importantly, his average exit velocity sits at 94.1 mph — a massive improvement over the woeful 87.9 mph he produced earlier with the Twins. He's still expanding the strike zone a ton, so the approach hasn't really changed. So why is he performing better?Some of it is BABIP correction, but only to a point. His .250 mark in Triple-A is better than the .215 he ran in Minnesota, yet still well below league norms. The real driver is simple: he's hitting the ball much harder. The caveat, of course, is that it's a tiny sample, and when you hit 10 home runs in 13 games, your EV is going to look inflated.Looking deeper, he's become a dead-pull hitter, and his long injury history has likely contributed to a gradual decline in exit velocity over the years. Will the EV fully return? Maybe. But can he stay healthy long enough for that to matter? My best guess is that he normalizes around 89–90 mph. With his leveraged swing, that still makes him a 20-homer bat. Given the aggressive approach, a modest batting average — something around .250 — feels realistic.I do think he'll return as a viable MLB player, but the superstar trajectory he once flashed doesn't look attainable anymore. At the same time, he wasn't as bad as he looked in April and May with Minnesota. The encouraging news is that he's hot, he's motivated, and he's forcing the issue. If the Twins wanted to see a spark before bringing him back, they're getting it. They'll surely say he “made an adjustment,” and maybe he did, but with samples this small, it's nearly impossible to prove through the data.5.Bryce Miller has been money since returning from the IL – 1.33 ERA, 29K/5BB in 29 innings.6.Zebby wins again on Friday. Is he an every time starter now or are you holding your breath every time out?a.Order these pitchers the rest of the season – Gage Jump, Zebby, David Sandlin, Christian Scott7.We crushed Matt Chapman on Friday and that night he went 2 for 3 with 8 RBIs – a grand slam and a three-run home run.a.Fantasy managers – You're welcome!Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer ReportClose

Later in the hour, they celebrate National Donut Day at Audacy. In Hour 3, Willard and Grandi react to the San Francisco Giants' slugfest -- an 18-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

In Hour 4, Willard and Grandi break down Bryce Eldridge's hot MLB start and check in with the San Francisco 49ers for their OTAs

The Mets have won 5 of their last 7 games heading into San Diego, which means things are either starting to turn around… or this team is once again setting us up like a bunch of idiots with cable packages and emotional damage.This week on The Put it in the Books Show – S9 E9, Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe break down a Mets team that continues to be the most confusing thing in New York sports — and that's saying something considering Farace is currently half-distracted by the Knicks being in the NBA Finals. If he starts comparing Bo Bichette to Jalen Brunson, someone please cut his mic.Bo Bichette finally had himself a game, going 4-for-4 with three RBIs as the Mets beat Seattle 7-1, snapped their two-game skid, and avoided getting swept by the Mariners. Now the question is simple: can Bo actually build on that, or was this just one of those “look, I'm alive” games before disappearing again for a week?The offense continues to be offensive, but at least there were signs of life in Seattle. Bichette broke out, Carson Benge stole home during a double steal, and the Mets actually played aggressive baseball instead of standing around waiting for Juan Soto to solve every problem like he's customer service for the entire lineup.Speaking of Soto, he's still the main event while the “psychopaths and Soto” outfield experiment continues to somehow function. It may not be normal. It may not be relaxing. But honestly, nothing about this team is normal or relaxing, so why start now?On the pitching side, the Mets keep getting mostly good work from the staff, but consistency remains the problem. Jonah Tong was optioned back to Triple-A after control issues, with Joey Gerber coming back up to give the bullpen a fresh arm. That's the kind of move Rodriguez will explain calmly for 40 seconds before somehow turning it into a full organizational indictment.Kodai Senga is healthy enough to keep working through rehab, but still inconsistent enough to make everyone nervous. Translation: we're encouraged, we're concerned, and Producer Joe is already cranky.We'll also hit Francisco Alvarez already working his way back from his knee injury, David Peterson's bullpen role, Tobias Myers being optioned to Triple-A, and the ongoing roster shuffle as the Mets try to survive this stretch without turning every pitching decision into a group therapy session.We'll also squeeze in Keith Hernandez talking about one of the biggest regrets of his career: finishing with a .296 lifetime batting average instead of staying above .300. And honestly, that's the most Keith Hernandez regret possible. Not “I wish I made more money,” not “I wish I played longer” — this man is still annoyed that the baseball card didn't say .300. Respect the obsession.And yes, Rodriguez has been negative lately. Very negative. Almost impressively negative. The Mets win 5 of 7 and he still sounds like he's reviewing a restaurant that gave him food poisoning. Meanwhile, Producer Joe is cranky enough to put Rodriguez to sleep, which might actually be the most productive thing he does all episode.Next up, the Mets head to San Diego for three against the Padres before coming home to face the Cardinals and Braves. This is the part where we find out if winning 5 of 7 actually means something, or if the Mets are just giving us another brief emotional coupon before charging full price for disappointment.Baseball. Sarcasm. Knicks distractions. Rodriguez negativity. Producer Joe crankiness. Soto doing group projects alone.Just another normal week on The Put it in the Books Show.LGM.#PiitB #Mets

Jerry returns with Jalen Brunson playing through injuries. Wemby said he was bad last night and it wasn't more complicated than that. OBJ talked about being back and why he's back. The Yankees lost to the Guardians as Gerrit Cole did not pitch great. The Mets beat the Mariners as Bo Bichette went 4-for-4 with 3 RBIs. The Moment of The Day: ‘Walking Ambien Wally Szczerbiak'.

Gio wonders if Juan Soto cares that his team stinks since he's still hitting well, then questions if former Mets coach Jeremy Hefner is the real reason the Braves staff is number one or if they just always have guys. Jerry returns for an update, but the show spends a lot of time on weiner pills. In baseball, the Yankees shutout the Royals behind Ben Rice's production, the Mets beat the Reds thanks to Carson Benge's RBIs, and Rays pitcher Jonathan Heasley vomits on the mound. Finally, Mike Vrabel is asked if he needs more time off, and SGA sends a cease and desist letter to Underdog Sports over videos of him flopping.

Andy talks to DV after a four-hit night with three RBI in the Dodgers 15-6 win over the Rockies. Andy now leads the MLB with 49 RBIs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Was Graig Nettles one of the greatest third basemen to ever play… or just another name lost in the numbers? This episode of Kenny The Sports Guy Podcast dives deep into one of baseball's most debated Hall of Fame snubs. A 22-year MLB veteran, Nettles crushed 390 home runs, drove in over 1,300 RBIs, and anchored championship teams with the New York Yankees. He was a six-time All-Star, a two-time World Series champion, and one of the best defensive third basemen of his era. So why isn't he in Cooperstown? We break down the real reasons: A .248 career batting average that never wowed voters Limited accolades compared to peers at a stacked position Playing in the shadow of legends like Mike Schmidt and Brooks Robinson And a Hall of Fame voting system that dropped him off the ballot in just four years But here's the twist—advanced stats tell a different story. Nettles posted around 68 WAR, one of the highest totals for any player NOT in the Hall of Fame . So did voters get it wrong? This episode asks the tough question: Was Graig Nettles truly snubbed… or just not quite elite enough?
