Podcast appearances and mentions of Ron Washington

John is back from his big, fat Greek vacation and has lots of questions for Evan about the offense (who doesn't?). The guys wonder if the narrative about Rangers struggling with draft-and-development needs to change, and Evan questions if there is a conspiracy afoot with the baseballs. And either way, Evan says, the trade deadline may still be more than a month away, but the Rangers' deadline may be much sooner. Then, new Rangers Hall of Famer Elvis Andrus joins the guys to discuss the impact Ron Washington and Adrian Beltré had on his early career, how Wash's clubhouse admission in spring of 2010 changed the team and why he once donned a clown mask to torment another Rangers Hall of Famer.

On this week's episode, Chase begins by venting his frustration at Aaron Boone for pulling Clarke Schmidt after seven no-hit innings against the Orioles on Saturday. From there, we discuss Cal Raleigh's latest history making week, Ron Washington's leave of absence from the Angels, Mark Walter's purchase of the Lakers, and the newest potential buyer of the Rays. To wrap up, we look at suspensions to Mike Schildt, Dave Roberts, and Dennis Santana, and look at the fallout of the Rafael Devers trade.

KT doubles down on his call to fire Rangers manager Bruce Bochy—even after a 16-run game. The crew debates whether this is the most wasted year of elite pitching in Rangers history.A player poll reveals which MLB managers players love—and which ones they avoid like the plague. One player even says, “I like using my cell phone,” in response to Ron Washington's no-phone policy. The guys riff on this with a side-splitting Bochy impression that morphs into “Sling Boach.”Plus, conspiracy theories fly as the gang reacts to Rodgers casually revealing he's been married for months. Is it Britney Spears? A ghost? A Belushi lookalike? The speculation is wild and hilarious.

It's the week of Hopening Day! Patti's infield is a mess and Pottymouth is looking at the centerfield version of second base but nonetheless we have our fantasy team starting lineups ready. This week's rant is geared at the scrubbing of history in the name of the wrong definition of DEI. And maybe it took messing with Jackie Robinson *and* The Golden Girls but people are paying attention. Except that MLB is also doing some scrubbing of their own. Pottymouth thinks Ron Washington would make a great high school principal and wants to give him a shoerack. We've got some fun cup, some new City Connects, and another how the heck did this get out of committee logo design. And an 11 year old gets a payday bigger than Paul SKenes.We say, “I wouldn't get the hat but I appreciate the nod to the farmers of Wisconsin, “Soft, squishy balls in Venezuela,” and “They're making lemonade out of Georgia O'Keefe imagery.” ”Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Ben & Woods discuss a crazy new rule that Ron Washington is implementing with the Angels.

In this episode of Three Inning Fan – The Podcast with Kelley Franco, it's a spring training wrap up for the New York teams and then a tour around MLB. First we take a look at the Yankees' rotation and who the wild cards are who have to come up big. Then we discuss Austin Wells hitting leadoff – the pros and cons, and how it's worked in spring training so far. We talk about the Mets and how their infield looks with McNeil out for a few weeks and the young guns who will be stepping in. We examine the superpower of Lindor, Alonso and Soto that no one talks about. How about Edwin Diaz – can he ever repeat 2022 given his low spring velocity? And then we talk about how the Mets can plan to depose the Dodgers this October. We also get outside the New York Bubble – and look at the Dodgers in Japan and how it reflects MLB's global growth, the Rays stadium debacle, and Ron Washington going even more old school on the Angels' players. And of course, we take a look at what's good to eat while you are watching your very last spring training games – and a delicious secret weapon for Lent (for the Catholic contingent!).*Music by Podington Bear

Jerry said sometimes fans get too hung up on championships. Will Mets fans enjoy the season or are they just looking forward to the postseason? Boomer said fans get upset about players not living up to their contracts and players who don't perform when people bet on them. Angels manager Ron Washington is banning phones from the clubhouse.

Hour 1 Boomer's Knicks prediction faltered with their recent loss, and he questioned the Rangers' coaching situation. Jerry criticized the Knicks' defensive effort, emphasizing their postseason judgment. The conversation shifted between the Knicks and Rangers, with Boomer suggesting the Knicks need an eight-game winning streak. C-Lo's update highlighted the Knicks' loss to the "bottom feeder" Spurs, featuring Sandro Mamukelashvili's historic scoring performance and Flavor Flav's celebration. Rick Pitino's reflective comments were played, and the show marked the five-year anniversary of the COVID-19 shutdown, prompting further discussion of the Knicks' disappointing performance. Hour 2 Jerry opened the hour with news of the Sea Hear Now festival and Guns N' Roses' drummer's departure, sparking a debate with Boomer over fresh versus old coffee. They discussed the NFL's proposed playoff seeding changes, with Boomer favoring divisional wins. C-Lo's update was delayed as Boomer promoted his charity bike tour, and a caller highlighted Boomer's ranking as a top Long Island athlete. C-Lo finally delivered his update, featuring the Knicks' loss to the Spurs and Ben Stiller's comments on his Knicks fandom during a Kelce brothers podcast appearance. Hour 3 St. John's broadcaster John Minko calls in from Providence to talk about tonight's St. John's game, which starts after Mink's bedtime, at 9:45pm. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with Rick Pitino talking about enjoying the ride with St. John's. The Knicks lost to the Spurs without Jalen Brunson. In the final segment of the hour, we were watching Boomer's comeback with the Cardinals over the Eagles in a 1996 game. Hour 4 Jerry observed that fans often fixate on championships, questioning if Mets fans can enjoy the season beyond postseason expectations. Boomer added that fan frustration extends to players underperforming their contracts and impacting betting outcomes. Meanwhile, Angels manager Ron Washington implemented a no-phone policy in the clubhouse. Jerry then tested Boomer with headline-based true or false questions. C-Lo's final update included Boomer's misprediction of a nine-game Knicks winning streak, a Yankee player's unusual in-game eye doctor visit, and Brett Favre's inquiry about the JFK files and a potentially fake UFO memo. The "Moment of the Day" centered on Boomer's morning coffee routine, and the segment concluded with a discussion on the 32.5-point spread in a first-round game, which was not for St. John's.

Do the Lakers NEED homecourt advantage to make a deep run in the playoffs? Could the NFL change seeding rules for the playoffs? Ron Washington has banned cell phone use in the Angels clubhouse
