In this episode of Three Inning Fan – The Podcast with Kelley Franco, we check in on our favorite New York teams. First we get Kelley's take on Steve Cohen's comments directed to Pete Alonso at Amazin' Day, and why they were genius. We do a quick check-in with the Yankees, and then we explore some hot topics in MLB: namely, the use of robo-umps in MLB spring training and the idea of a hard salary cap. Is it finally time for robo-umps in regular MLB season games? Kelley will let you know how the system works and whether she thinks it's a go. She also explains the hard salary cap versus the soft one, and whether it's needed and feasible in MLB today. And of course…we talk about what's good to eat while you're watching the ballgame – or in this case, what's good to drink, as you will learn the recipe for Kelley's signature bourbon old-fashioned! *Music by Podington Bear
Dave Gasper and Matt Carroll are preparing for Brewers spring training to start up in a few weeks where there will be robo umps present. Dave and Matt break down what it means and how things will look with the new robo ump system. Also discussed in this week's pod is the possibility of trading the 2027 season for a salary cap. Would you do it? Also, just what do the Brewers have left to do in free agency? All of that and more in this week's Cold Brew Podcast.
Yes, robots are making the calls, but there's still a human element involved.
Nick and Harrison talk all things baseball. This week, we discuss the latest on the Juan Soto sweepstakes, the Rays future in Tampa, Robo Umps in 2025, MLB taking back TV rights, offseason awards, news around the league, and trivia.
It's time for Robo-Umps, when are two feet not two feet, Male Sack, Blazers can't shoot but what about Scoot, and is the World Series over tonight?
Sports Jesus, buying clothes at Costco, Yankees a no show in WS, NFL Factoids, will Dillon Gabriel win the Heisman, CFB is now all about recruiting, we dive into the Oregon-Michigan match up...time for Robo-Umps, Male Sack, can Scoot grow if the Blazers can't shoot, and do Dodgers finish the sweep tonight?
Send us a textAutomated balls and strikes, will be instituted in MLB, eventually NCAthers wont be able to 'steal' strikes by trying to trick the umpires. Tennis hasn't missed anything moving to an automated line calling system and neither will MLB. Will catchers be able to focus more on baserunners? Maybe. Will they have to hit more than they do now? Yes. The job of pitch framing takes a lot of attention and finesse. Teams won't likely carry a defense first backup catcher as much since being a good pitch-framer will not be of benefit!

(15:20) An update on the bullpen and which arms are healthy as the regular season approaches. (19:15) A look at the outfield and first base from a defensive perspective. Eddie Rosario was recently signed to play left field and now Joey Gallo is the primary plan at 1st Why Gallo over Meneses at that spot? (25:25) Mark runs through why he thinks there might be a defensive regression this season in the infield. Nick Senzel is expected to begin the season at third, but the long term answer at the hot corner remains in flux.
