John Franco went to 4 All Star games, was the MLB saves leader 3x, and was Reliever of the Year 2x in his iconic 22-year career. A New Yorker to the core, he went to the same HS in Brooklyn as Sandy Kofax, played college ball at St John's with Frank Viola, and then Captained the Mets (a rarity for a pitcher). When he retired, he was 2nd all-time in saves (he is still 7th), and no lefty has saved more games. Great stories from a pitching legend.

Astros Reliever Brian King Joins the Show

In this episode: Adam Ottavino joins the show to talk about his experience as a reliever. Being a reliever has its pros and cons: but the cons can be devastating. Relievers can have a great few games, but one bad game can tank their stats. 

Bob and Dave are joined by Matt Brash to discuss his yearlong injury recovery process, how it felt to get back on the field, how the rest of the bullpen has looked, and his experience in Athletics’ minor league ballpark, they look at how the Mariners have used their bullpen over their eight series win streak, they break down whether the Mariners should shut Bryce Miller down to see if he can get fully healthy, and they hear what Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald has been working on over the offseason in Sweeping the Dial.

Guests: Blue Jays home run leader Anthony Santander, reliever Brendon Little, 1B/OF coach Mark Budzinski The Blue Jays miserable April is over and it ended with a massive comeback win against the Boston Red Sox. No one might be happier to turn the page to May than Anthony Santander, who is hitting just .175 as the calendar flips. The switch-hitter joins us for a frank and open discussion about his early-season struggles and how he and the team hope to turn things around. After the interview, Santander hit a game-tying three-run homer to help the Jays to victory on April 30. We also speak to Mark Budzinski, who knows Santander better than anyone, having managed him in the minor leagues, and we also get insight into the incredible circus catch made by Daulton Varsho – on one knee and with his back to the plate – in Varsho's first game back. Plus, get to know the Jays' top left-handed reliever, Brendon Little!

Yesterday's show featured awkward tension between BT and Sal after playing audio of Sal arguing with a Masters caller. Jerry's update followed, starting with the Mets' chilly win in Minnesota, highlighting strong pitching. He also covered the Yankees' 4 solo home run victory over the Royals, prompting Gio's question about keeping fields green. Aaron Boone discussed being named Team USA captain, and Bryce Harper revealed he's having a baby boy with a blue bat. The hour ended with a caller suggesting Carlos Rodon as a middle reliever and Boomer recalling a coach who gave him a positive thinking book.

It's Friar Friday and Gwynn & Chris were joined by Padres reliever Alek Jacob to talk about the hot start to the season for the bullpen, who is the most whacky in the bullpen, and why he started throwing side arm.

   If you're wondering if the tariffs are good for America, perhaps all we should do is look at the global reaction.  Leaders of allies and enemies alike threw a hissy fit as the tariffs take effect and I'm having a hard time figuring out how this is bad for America.    Miss Jessica has a favorite initiative of the Trump 2.0 administration... MAHA.  She is a huge fan of Calley and Casey Means, special government employees working for RFK Jr and we have an incredible audio clip to prove her point.  These folks go after health care fraud by confronting the perpetrators face to face.    Royals Reliever Lucas Erceg has an incredible future.... but also a difficult past.  He opens up about the demons he has defeated.    College football coaches are talking big about fighting the NCAA, the Final Four is set and our Song of the Week is just increbible about our movement to fight back with free speech.
