    Drs. Jensen and Richey sit down with Dr. Oloff for a Part 2 interview! Dr. Lawrence Oloff is a highly influential podiatric surgeon, educator, and sports medicine specialist. The interview spans Dr. Oloff's career, the evolution of podiatry, and his experiences at the highest levels of academic medicine and professional sports.This episode is sponsored by Bako Diagnostics!Join us as we discuss “All things podiatric medicine and surgery” including Dr. Oloff's Career Path & Leadership. Dr. Oloff trained at Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine, he served as faculty at multiple podiatric institutions, including the California College of Podiatric Medicine and was Dr. Jensen's Dean when he graduated from Podiatric Medial School. Most recently, Dr. Oloff became full-time faculty at UCSF and remains the program director for St. Mary's Hospital - podiatric residency program as part of the Department of Orthopedics. He now practices alongside orthopedic foot-and-ankle surgeons, operating equally within a top-tier academic medical center—an example of podiatry's integration into mainstream medicine.He has chaired national academic boards and played a major role in advancing multi-year residency training and residency placement for graduates. A leader in the advancement of Podiatric Surgical Sports medicine, Dr. Oloff has served as team podiatrist for elite organizations including the San Francisco Giants (over 25 years), 49ers, Warriors, Stanford University, and others.

Compared to that era, today's podiatry offers far greater opportunity, visibility, and integration, though challenges remain. He stresses that good surgery is not about technical skill alone, but about knowing when not to operate, understanding biomechanics, planning several steps ahead, and remaining humble.He credits mentors like Dr. Alan Jacobs and underscores the importance of rigorous academics, interdisciplinary collaboration, and lifelong learning. Overall, this episode is a rich oral history of modern podiatry—highlighting its struggles, growth, and future potential—through the lens of one of its most accomplished leaders.

    NL West Preview 2026: Dodgers Chase Three-Peat, D-backs' Offense vs Injuries, Padres' Big Questions | 149

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 11, 2026 57:12


    Welcome to Episode 149 of Tablesetters, where we continue our division preview series by turning to the National League West heading into the 2026 season. For most of the past decade, the division has revolved around one simple reality: everyone is chasing the Los Angeles Dodgers. That hasn't changed. Los Angeles has won 12 of the last 13 division titles and enters 2026 as the two-time defending World Series champion. And somehow, the roster might be even stronger. With Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and one of the deepest pitching staffs in baseball — including Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, and Roki Sasaki — the biggest question in Los Angeles may simply be health. If that rotation stays intact, the Dodgers could once again dominate both the regular season and October. Behind them, however, the division becomes far more unpredictable. The Arizona Diamondbacks may have one of the most exciting offenses in the National League behind Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte, but their pitching staff has been battered by injuries. That puts added pressure on young talent like Jordan Lawlar, whose development could quietly reshape Arizona's lineup. The San Diego Padres still feature elite star power with Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr., and their bullpen remains one of the best in baseball. But with major rotation questions, the team may need a bounce-back year from Jackson Merrill to keep the offense dangerous behind its superstars. Meanwhile, the San Francisco Giants enter a fascinating new chapter after hiring former Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello as manager — one of the most unconventional moves of the offseason. Whether that energy translates to the major league clubhouse could define San Francisco's season. And then there are the Colorado Rockies, who are still firmly in rebuild mode after a brutal 2025 season. One bright spot did emerge: catcher Hunter Goodman, whose power breakout may give the organization a foundational player to build around. The favorite in the division is clear. But the race behind the Dodgers — particularly for Wild Card positioning — could become one of the most chaotic battles in the National League.

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 4, 2026 66:43


    Welcome to Tablesetters, where early-season baseball storylines are evaluated through context, projection, and structural impact rather than isolated spring highlights. As camps begin to stabilize, several early narratives are beginning to shape the broader landscape of the 2026 season — from international competition to emerging prospects and roster uncertainty around the league. We begin with the return of the World Baseball Classic, which arrives just as MLB spring training reaches its most competitive stretch. The tournament brings together 20 national teams competing across Tokyo, San Juan, Houston, and Miami, running through March 17. Japan enters as the defending champion after defeating Team USA in the 2023 final, while the United States returns with a roster built to pursue redemption. The Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico also enter the tournament with lineups capable of making deep runs. Exhibition games leading into the tournament have already produced early signals. Team USA delivered one of the loudest statements, routing the San Francisco Giants 15–1. Paul Skenes dominated in his outing, striking out four hitters across three innings without issuing a walk, immediately reminding everyone why he has quickly become one of the most overpowering pitchers in the sport. Offensively, Alex Bregman launched a home run while Roman Anthony — a late addition to the roster after Corbin Carroll suffered a broken hand — delivered a two-run homer. The lineup surrounding them featured star power throughout with Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper, Bobby Witt Jr., and Byron Buxton. Japan's preparation was less smooth. Samurai Japan dropped an exhibition game despite a solo homer from Masataka Yoshida, a reminder that even the defending champions are still working through early-March rhythm. The tournament officially begins when Chinese Taipei faces Australia in Tokyo, opening the round-robin stage where five-team pools compete for two quarterfinal spots. Team USA opens its tournament Friday against Brazil before quickly facing Great Britain, Mexico, and Italy as Pool B begins to take shape. From international baseball we move to a structural shift arriving in Major League Baseball this season: the Automated Ball-Strike challenge system. Rather than replacing home plate umpires entirely, the league is introducing a hybrid model. Each team begins a game with two challenges, and only the pitcher, catcher, or hitter can initiate a challenge immediately after a call. If the challenge is successful, the team keeps it. Spring training has quickly become the testing ground for how teams will actually use the system. The Minnesota Twins have been among the most aggressive teams in challenging calls, leading the league in overturned decisions early in camp as they experiment with the margins of the strike zone. Meanwhile, the Athletics have stood out for efficiency, posting the highest challenge success rate in baseball so far by winning roughly seventy percent of their appeals. Leaguewide data suggests about half of all challenges are overturned, reinforcing the idea that the biggest edge may belong to players with elite strike-zone awareness rather than teams that simply challenge the most. Spring training has also produced several intriguing individual and organizational storylines. In Detroit's system, Kevin McGonigle is beginning to look like one of the most advanced young hitters in professional baseball. The 21-year-old shortstop recently opened an exhibition game by launching the first pitch he saw from former All-Star Luis Severino for a home run. McGonigle's combination of strike-zone discipline, elite contact ability, and emerging power recently earned him an 80-grade hit tool evaluation, the highest grade scouts can assign to a hitter. In limited spring action he has posted a .400/.471/.667 line, further reinforcing the belief that he could eventually become one of the defining hitters of the Tigers' next competitive window. In Colorado, the organization's long search for stability at first base continues more than a decade after Todd Helton's retirement. This spring that conversation centers around Charlie Condon and TJ Rumfield. Condon, the third overall pick in the 2024 draft out of Georgia, arrived in professional baseball with one of the most dominant offensive seasons in recent NCAA history, hitting 37 home runs while batting .433. His raw power could eventually play extremely well at Coors Field. Rumfield represents a different profile — a more experienced hitter who spent all of last season in Triple-A hitting .285 with an .825 OPS. Colorado now faces a familiar decision between accelerating a high-upside prospect or relying on the steadier upper-minors bat. Atlanta is dealing with a far more complicated roster situation. Jurickson Profar is facing a potential 162-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug for the second time within the past year. Under MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, a second violation results in a full-season suspension and forfeiture of salary. Profar is expected to appeal the decision through the MLB Players Association, which leaves the Braves in a difficult holding pattern as they attempt to plan their Opening Day roster. If the suspension stands, Atlanta will suddenly need to replace a projected middle-of-the-lineup bat. Finally, one of the most closely watched prospects in baseball continues to generate attention in Pittsburgh. Konnor Griffin, the 19-year-old shortstop and the No. 1 prospect in the sport, has already launched three home runs in limited Grapefruit League action. Griffin's power-speed combination has drawn comparisons to some of the most dynamic young players in the game. Last season he hit .333 with 21 home runs and 65 stolen bases across three minor league levels, eventually finishing the year at Double-A. The bigger question now is timing. If Griffin were to make the Opening Day roster, he would become the first teenage hitter to debut in the majors since Ken Griffey Jr. in 1989. The Pirates may still choose to delay that debut for development or service-time reasons, but early spring performances are beginning to make that decision far more complicated. Spring training often produces noise, but the themes beginning to emerge this year feel more substantial: the return of baseball's biggest international tournament, a technological change that could reshape the strike zone conversation, and a wave of young talent preparing to define the next era of the sport. The season is approaching quickly. And the real signals are starting to appear.

    I had the pleasure of chatting with Matt Palmer, cofounder of Jesus Won Apparel and chaplain with the San Francisco Giants. We explore the inspiring journey behind Jesus Won—from its humble beginnings as a bold faith message to becoming a powerful ministry tool that's sparked countless conversations about Jesus and raising half a million for Kingdom causes across the USA. Matt shares the raw origin story, the mission to proclaim eternal victory in Christ, the beautiful moments and "wins" that have come from it (including viral partnerships with athletes like Evan Carter during the Texas Rangers' World Series run), and what's stirring for the future. It's a reminder that simple acts of faith—like wearing a tee—can open doors to hope, encouragement, and transformation.
