In this special episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng and Charlie Chieppo interview New York Times bestselling American sportswriter, biographer, and author Jane Leavy.  Ms. Leavy offers a vivid exploration of Babe Ruth's life and towering legacy. Leavy sheds new light on Ruth's difficult Baltimore childhood, his formative years at St. Mary's Industrial School, and his remarkable early success as a star pitcher with the Boston Red Sox. She discusses Ruth's pivotal sale to the Yankees, his celebrity rise alongside New York City's 1920s boom, his legendary 1927 season with “Murderers' Row,” and his bittersweet final years. Ms. Leavy reflects on Babe Ruth legacy and why he remains the Ruthian symbol of American sports greatness. In closing, Ms. Leavy reads a passage from her book, The Big Fella: Babe Ruth and the World He Created.

In this episode of Three Inning Fan - The Podcast with Kelley Franco, we discuss the Mets and how they need a winning streak to overcome the Braves, Francisco Lindor's run at MVP, the Yankees and Aaron Judge being absolutely insane, Babe Ruth's "called shot" jersey hits the auction block, whether A-Rod belongs in Monument Park, and whether Scott Boras could "butcher" the deals of his New York clients Soto, Alonso and Manaea the way Jordan Montgomery claims Boras did to his. *Music by Poddington Bear

Aaron Judge's otherworldly season is beyond Ruthian Is this what it was like to watch Babe Ruth play every day? “He's able to go on historical runs, MVP-type runs, otherworldly-type runs,” In his career, Ruth had seasons of 60, 59, 54 and 54. He hit 40 or more in six other years. In that sense, Judge has some catching up to do. In '27, Ruth went on two 51-game tears that make you check your work three and four times when you're done, to make sure the numbers are right because it feels like they couldn't possibly be right. Now let's take a look at Aaron Judge's 51 games There's a word for that: Ruthian. Or maybe it should be Judgian. “He's in that company all the time now,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone says. “It's incredible what he's doing, it really is. Kind of a ho-hum 2-for-4 [Sunday] with one off the batter's eye. He's in those conversations now all the time with Gehrig and Ruth and whatever superlative you can find. He keeps putting himself in those conversations.” Twice? In his career, Ruth had seasons of 60, 59, 54 and 54. He hit 40 or more in six other years. In that sense, Judge has some catching up to do. This is what it had to be like in 1927, in 1921, in 1930. Ruth 12 seasons 100 RBI's 170 .393 16 of 17 .300+ 2,500 games 1330 K's. 60'K's per Gehrig 13 seaons 100+RBI. 7 seasons 150+ RBI. 185. 12 seasons in a row .300+ 2,164 games 2,130 consequtive games avg 152 games per 17 seasons 790 K's 46 K's per season Judge 919 games avg 111 games 9 seasons 1131 K's 125 K's per One season .311. 2 seasons 100+ RBI. Christian Scott. 6'4 215 Bigger Stronger Faster With Christian Scott pitching the finest game of his young career and cruising, Mendoza went and got him after he retired the first two batters in the sixth inning. Scott, pitching on four days' rest for the first time in his career (and scheduled to pitch against the Rockies in four days on Saturday) was at 77 pitches after throwing 99 in Washington last week. Said Mendoza: “It's a tough spot. The kid's too important.” Yanks NY Post When you go from having the best record in baseball immediately into a tailspin by losing 15 of 20 games, there figure to be plenty of factors. And the Yankees have had plenty since their reversal began in mid-June. But nothing has been more stark than the disaster the starting rotation has turned into, going from the best in the majors to the worst, seemingly overnight. Over their last 20 games, they rank dead-last in ERA at 6.96 and have allowed 2.23 home runs per nine innings — the highest rate in MLB. And while starters went a combined 35-13 in those first 72 games, they've been 3-13 since. “Guys are gonna go through things,'' pitching coach Matt Blake said during the just-completed homestand. “You just hope four of them don't go through it at the same time and we've had some of that lately.” And even Aaron Judge and Juan Soto have shown they're mortals at times. Judge's current 2-for-20 slide is nothing to be alarmed about, nor is the fact that Soto is 11-for-56 with four extra-base hits in his last 17 games, but no one outside of Ben Rice has been able to pick up the slack and it's not realistic to think he can produce at a high rate as the league adjusts to him. Dodgers Connecting the Dots Miller / Buehlet / Wrobleski Miller “It was just great to see him out there and doing his thing,” Roberts said. “I know he expects a lot of himself, even being his first outing. I thought there were some good throws in there, some things we have to clean up as far as the consistency of the throw. But to have him out there and give us a chance to win was big.” Getting Miller back was significant for the Dodgers. He's one of the most promising young pitchers in the game and will have a major role in October, barring another injury It's important to note that his command was an issue in the latter two starts. More worrying, however, is the fact that he also lost some velocity after averaging 98.8 miles per hour with his fastball in the first game. He lost 0.8 mph on his heater and 1.2 mph off his sinker, respectively. The loss of command in addition to diminished velocity are tell-tale signs of an injury, so this isn't an all too shocking development. Miller was previously sidelined in early 2023 with "mild shoulder soreness," which impacted his MiLB start. Buehler “It sucks to feel kind of invaluable, or like you're hampering your team,” Buehler said after Tuesday's start. “At the end of the day, we really like our team and want to be ready for the end of the year. And I'm going to do whatever I need to do to feel like I can help our team at the end of the year, and do everything in my power to be valuable enough to be on those rosters.” “You only get a finite number of throws to try and fix some things and work on some things without putting yourself in harm's way for your next start or taking away bullets for the next start and so on,” said Dodgers assistant pitching coach Connor McGuiness. “It's a tricky process. But if there's any guy I would bet on to figure this out, he's the guy I would bet on The Athletic Richard Fits When you look at right-hander Richard Fitts, who was one of the prospects acquired in the Alex Verdugo trade, what would you like him to continue to improve on at Triple A and what's stood out so far about him? He's bought in really well to the programming and to the staff and is willing to make adjustments and push himself. That's been great to have a kid that works that hard. He's built a lot of relationships and trust here already. It's pretty simple. When he sits 95-plus, he's a really good pitcher that can be a rotation piece for a major-league club and for the Boston Red Sox. When he's operating at 95 and below, he tends to get hit a little harder and becomes someone who is not as impactful in the long term. So the velocity consistency, the velocity gains, the velocity improvement, which has happened, has been the focus and will continue to be the focus. Pitching better than ever ? Sat: games 98 pitchers 54 % ERA 4.00 Sun 40% TJ recovery 2-8 5.45 ERA Kopech All Star. Elly de la Cruz 2023 13 44 144 .235 .710 2024 15 39 121 .247 .804 Ohtani Giving up pitching ? What makes that idea so tough to stomach is that Ohtani truly is a lights-out pitcher. Between 2021 and 2024, Ohtani started 74 games for the Los Angeles Angels and posted an ERA of 2.84. Ohtani put up ridiculous numbers at the plate last season, too 44 HR 95 RBI 161 K's .304 In fact, Ohtani's performance at the plate has been so consistently devastating that there's now a legitimate argument to be had that the finest two-way player since Babe Ruth should follow in the footsteps of the Bambino by making the most radical adjustment of his career—and abandoning pitching altogether 100 RBI 1x 87 K's -plate discipline 481 innings in 5 years

Welcome to April 27, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate the Sultan of Swat and spinning a yarn with the best of them. The word “Ruthian” is used to describe a sports feat that is so incredible, it seems almost impossible. The word is a tribute to the legendary Babe Ruth. When he joined the New York Yankees in 1920, the record for home runs in a season was 27. That season he hit 54. Over the next 14 years, he led the league in home runs 12 times. And because of his all or nothing style, he also led the league in strikeouts 5 times as well. The Sultan of Swat was honored on April 27, 1947 before a crowd of 60,000 with his very own National Day. On National Babe Ruth Day, we celebrate a true American hero, who taught us to go big or go home.  The art of storytelling has been around since the dawn of time. Before we had writing, history was passed on through stories. These days you can find almost any tale online, but there is a particular joy in hearing one told firsthand. Luckily, the real McCoy still walks the streets of Kingman, AZ in storyteller Jim Hinckley. Jim has made an international name for himself with 18 books, lectures and a recorded walking tour, but he is equally happy to guide you one on one. His tagline is “Telling people where to go since 1992.” The good natured soul in a cowboy hat is literally brimming with a love for history. You may have your own resident storyteller but here at the Gateway to Route 66, Jim is up for an adventure and happy to take you with him. On National Tell A Story Day, celebrate the art of spinning a yarn with someone who knows it best. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Special Guest Dr. Barry Davis, Head Coach at Rider University, joins the show to share his approach on defense, launch angle, and the Phillies performance... a bona fide ace emerges... Wheeler! Phillies launch angles are dropping this year and their batting averages are up - coincidence or is the MLB changing their approach on launch angles? The Phillies are struggling to advance runners this year, should Girardi be bunting more and using other small ball tactics? The Yerminator swinging on a 3-0 count late in the game with a large lead breaks the “unwritten” rule of baseball... but is the rule outdated? Mitch talks about his “Ruthian” blasts in BP.

You May Have Heard Of The Sultan Of Swat, But Did You Know He Inspired The Word "Ruthian?" Welcome to April 27, 2021 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate amazing stories and the Sultan of Swat.  Tomorrow is National BraveHearts Day.  John: Aye, “Every man dies, not every man really lives!” No John we're not talking about the movie, this is the organization that helps kids with cancer and their families to find the best resources in their time of need.  Visit braveheartsforkids.org to find out how you can help. It's been said that we all have a story to tell. But none has ever been told in quite the way of Jean-Dominique Bauby. Jean-Do, as he was known, was a famous French writer and editor. In 1995, he suffered a stroke that left him awake but unable to move, a condition known as locked-in syndrome. The only part of his body he could control was his left eye. Somehow, simply by blinking, he was able to dictate an entire story by pointing out letters. This took approximately 200,000 blinks and gave us the book The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, in which he talks about his life and the condition that left him in this state. On National Tell a Story Day, let your own story take flight.  You never know who you may inspire! The word "ruthian" is used to describe a sports feat that is so incredible, it almost seems impossible.  The word is a tribute to the legendary Babe Ruth, who set the bar so high that everyone who came after is compared to him.  In 1920, when he joined the New York Yankees, the record for home runs in a season was 27.  That season he hit 54.  Over the next 14 years, he led the league in home runs 12 times.  And because of his all or nothing style, he also led the league in strikeouts 5 times as well.  The Sultan of Swat was honored on April 27, 1947 before a crowd of 60,000 with his very own National Day. He spoke briefly to the crowd, though he was already battling cancer.  On National Babe Ruth Day, we celebrate a true American icon, who taught us to go big or go home.  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson.  Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.
