After Los Angeles Dodgers' SP Clayton Kershaw was given a spot in the All-Star Game by MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson discuss whether or not Andrew McCutchen should be given similar treatment.
Bobby and Alex kick off a loaded episode of the show by updating the jersey patch rankings after the news that the Nats have sold their jersey sponsorship to AARP. Then, they dissect Rob Manfred's bad-faith comments about the state of labor in baseball, before simply laughing at the fact that John Fisher cannot seem to build one single ballpark without having multiple funding crises. Finally, they react to the reports that MLB and ESPN have somehow resumed talks to extend their broadcasting partnership, and close by discussing Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz being placed on paid leave while the league conducts an investigation into irregular gambling activity on two pitches he threw earlier this year.Links:TP Kansas City Meetup FormJoin the Tipping Pitches Patreon Tipping Pitches merchandise Call the Tipping Pitches voicemail: 785-422-5881Tipping Pitches features original music from Steve Sladkowski of PUP.
Rob Manfred is allowed to make one selection to the All-Star Game, but has a special exception to allow more if he wants. Manfred selected Clayton Kershaw, but Jason wanted Manfred to pick Andrew McCutchen as well as a special exception. We want to see McCutchen in one more All-Star Game before he retires. Is this it for Cutch? Should the NFL eliminate everything with the Pro Bowl?
Hour 3 with Jason Mackey: Rob Manfred is allowed to make one selection to the All-Star Game, but has a special exception to allow more. Manfred selected Clayton Kershaw, but Jason wanted Manfred to pick Andrew McCutchen as well as a special exception. Jason wonders if it's worth it to pay an edge rusher $40 million. We would rather pay T.J. Watt around $38 million and figure out the guaranteed money to be more than Myles Garrett.
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about how many members of the All-Star Celebrity Softball Game roster they have heard of, honorary all-stars, and velocity spikes preceding arm injuries, then discuss an investigation concerning possible pitch-fixing by Luis L. Ortiz, a federal civil rights complaint about the Dodgers' DEI policies, and Rob Manfred's pitch to […]
It's time to take a look around baseball and tell the cold, hard, truth about whose season is already irredeemably in the crapper. David Brown joins the podcast to help decide what teams can be crossed off and can toss their players into the for sale bin. You might be surprised at the two teams who survived the axe, for now. They also go through Jim Bowden's handy list of players who are most likely to be traded (the Cubs can use them all!), some of which makes sense. Maybe. Dave gives a few first-hand observations about the Dodgers, what Mookie says is wrong with Mookie's swing, Shohei's cute little on deck stool and more. Then they try to take Rob Manfred's sad little outreacharound to the lowest paid players, seriously. All that, and more.

Imagine this. You get the call that you're headed up for your MLB debut. Even better, your first start is at home against the Yankees. You step onto the mound and strike out the first two batters. Aaron Judge steps to the plate, he goes down swinging. The next inning you repeat the same process, striking out three of the next four batters.

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?

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?

We will have a discussion for a bit.b.Do you think he gets in?5.Aaron Nola – Yikes. He never threw very hard, but his four-seamer is off a mile per hour and it's getting destroyed (.611 SLG). Start, sit or drop?a.Here are some other pitchers that are struggling. Same question.i.Sandy Alcantara – 8.10 ERA, 1.637 WHIPii.Dustin May – 4.08 ERA, 1.24 WHIP. Not awful, but last four outings, he's been terrible, pitching to a 6.35 ERAiii.Luis Severino – 4.70 ERA, 1.32 WHIP6.Patrick Corbin looked like he was playing out the string after signing that great contract with Washington. He went unowned in most leagues. This year, he's been a different guy. Pitching for Texas, he's won three games and posting a 3.35 ERA. However, he's not striking out many (7 K/9) and his xERA is 4.52.a.You can't sell high (maybe you can), but what do you do here? Keep starting him every week? Pick and choose based on matchups? Something else?7.Are the Phillies starting to use Jordan Romano as part of a close committee? Do you trust him after how he's lookd this season?8.One more question that might come up tonight. We have plenty with what I've written.9.What one hitter are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?10.What one pitcher are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?
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.
