On this week's episode, we begin by making our first round of picks for the 2025 MLB All-Star game, with ballots having gone live last week. From there, we discuss the long and short-term fallout of Corbin Burnes' Tommy-John Surgery, Rob Manfred using the Competition Committee to bring the Automatic Balls Strike System to MLB for the 2026 season, and Justin Ishbia beginning his path to become the majority and controlling owner of the Chicago White Sox over Jerry Reinsdorf as soon as the 2029 season.
Take 10 with Tim – June 6, 20251.I released my Top 500 prospects in the game today for our Patreon members and will release the Top 100 to the general public over the weekend. Please provide me with five numbers, and we will discuss those five prospects.a.2 numbers in the Top 100b.2 numbers in the Top 200c.1 number after that. Make it in the 300s as after that, the fidelity of the work lessons.2.Let's take a look at the standings.3.Pablo Lopez is out with a shoulder strain and will miss 8 to 12 weeks. He might be out for the season. Yikes. Tough blow to fantasy managers. Who do you think gets the starts?a.Hunter Greene is also on the IL again. Any thoughts on who will take his starts over the next month?b.Corbin Burnes. Uh oh. Going for a second opinion on his elbow.4.Rob Manfred is proposing using an automated ball-strike challenge for the 2026 season. Since the league controls the rules committee, I'm assuming it will happen. What do you think?5.Sawyer Gibson-Long is finally back and had a great matchup against the White Sox to ease back into things, but he did not pitch very well. He doesn't throw hard but has a 70-grade slider and was pretty good in his four starts in 2023 before blowing out his elbow. I don't recall him making a waiver wire of yours. Any interest?6.I gave up on Lance McCullers and right on cue, he's pitching great. Over his last four starts, he's pitching to a 2.21 ERA with 29 strikeouts and six walks. WOW. Are you starting him with confidence?7.What hitter are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?8.What pitcher are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?
Get ready to start seeing a lot of ball players tapping their heads in the MLB in 2026. Why, might you ask? That is the signal to initiate a review with the impending automated ball-strike system. Rob Manfred has announced clear intentions that ABS is coming in 2026 to baseball. What was a test case in Spring Training is becoming reality and there's mixed feelings across the league. Jake and Jordan give their thoughts on how this will impact the game and if they are for or against it.The Chicago White Sox are up for sale… eventually. Don't start breaking those piggy banks open just yet White Sox fans. Jerry Reinsdorf appears to have already decided on his heir apparent. The 89-year-old Chicago owner announced that as soon as 2029 he has the option to hand the team over to Justin Ishbia. Ishbia, brother to Phoenix Suns owner Matt Ishbia, is already a minority owner with the team. It has been made clear no movement will be made by Reinsdorf until 2029. The guys break down all of the behind the scenes info on how exactly this came to fruition.Jake Mintz, baseball extraordinaire, hit a home run at Yankee Stadium! Did it actually leave the park? Well, no, but he scored off of his hit. You can be the judge as Jake tells us about the latest edition of the Yankees/Red Sox media members game.Finally, the best way to close out the week arrives as the guys play another edition of The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.Enjoy your Friday at the Baseball Bar-B-Cast.(1:33) - Automated ball-strike system(19:47) - White sox for sale(35:47) - Jake plays a game at Yankee Stadium(46:48) - The Good(48:59) - The Bad(54:06) - The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Before we revisit episode 13 and it's discussion of the O'Connell-Dolan scandal, starring a player and a coach lately sprung off the banned list by Rob Manfred, we have a new introduction discussing Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis, the death of Franklin Roosevelt, Derek Jeter's refusal to move off of shortstop, and we give one more encore to the most perceptive thing Grantland Rice every wrote.The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. Baseball, America's brighter mirror, often reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman discusses the game's present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large. Expect history, politics, stats, and frequent Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

Pretty soon we'll have automated players and that will make it a complete video game Rob Manfred is a capable labor negotiator representing ownership. And the MLB MARKETING team is doing their job by increasing revenue. Uniform patches . Sponsored elements in stadiums. BUT….

SEASON 3 EPISODE 126: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Buyer's Remorse on an unprecedented scale. New polling from the new site of the last chief of 538, Elliott Morris: If the 2024 election were held again today, Harris would win by FIVE. And Trump isn't just underwater he's DROWNING: Net -16 on Approval. STRONGLY disapprove scores twice as highly as strongly approves. Net -34 on his economic decisions. Net -32 on inflation. Net -21 on tariffs and trade. Net -20 on cutting programs. Net -17 on the economy. Net -16 on foreign policy. Net -16 on health care. Net -16 on education. And the Democrats are up in the House midterms by +6. If this were this Obama or Clinton or Carter the right wing press would be DEMANDING the president either fire his entire cabinet or resign. ALSO: Democrats eviscerate Kristi Noem on Kilmar Abrego Garcia and she slanders him by calling him a terrorist. Look in a mirror, witch. BUY mirrors, Chief Justice Roberts and A.G. Sulzberger. Two of the most guilty perpetuators of Bothsidesism point fingers at everybody but themselves because we're all trying to find the guy who did this and as the commentator Darth notes, these two guys are fighting over who gets to wear the Hot Dog Suit. PSAKI PSHOW PSTINKS: MSNBC is trying to spin otherwise, but her ratings in the Maddow slot are, simply, not survivable. B-BLOCK (39:35) SPORTSBALLCENTER: What the heck? A White Sox fan gets elected Pope and five days later White Sox tragic anti-hero Shoeless Joe Jackson is suddenly made eligible for the Hall of Fame? (44:19) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: I'm sure it's delicious and healthy but doesn't a plant-based product called "Protein Puck" make you think of the movie "Soylent Green"? Politico thinks it's got any remaining credibility. Andrew Cuomo thinks HE'S got any remaining credibility and is accused of being backed by MAGA. C-BLOCK (54:10) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: If you want to skip this, please do. But I have a story about an inexplicable hockey card, why they made it in the first place, and why it took 40 years for me to obtain it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
