There are many eye-catching storylines from the 2025 MLB season, but one that remains a captivating tale as we approach the postseason is the historic run by the man simply known as “Big Dumper.” On Tuesday night, Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh set a new single-season record for most home runs hit by a switch hitter, surpassing the immortal Mickey Mantle with 56 on the year. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss Cal's unbelievable campaign, how he's managed to do this while serving as the team's primary catcher and why he's now a serious contender alongside New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge in the tight race for the 2025 American League Most Valuable Player award.Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Jordan talk about an impressive debut from Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Trey Yesavage and why he could be an integral part of their push for the AL East title.

Tyler Glasnow was dominant for the Los Angeles Dodgers, throwing seven no-hit innings to earn the victory over the Rockies. He was in position for the win because Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Shohei Ohtani came through with big hits when they needed them. And for the second time in the last three days, LA carried a no-hitter into the ninth inning, this time a combined effort that ended when Tanner Scott allowed a leadoff double in the ninth.

¡Bienvenidos a una nueva edición de Baseball News, tu noticiero matutino de Grandes Ligas en español!

The Dodgers didn't have an angry win on Sunday. They didn't have an emotional win fueled by anger over how Saturday's game ended. No, they just came out and played like they were better than the opposing team, which is how they SHOULD play against the last-place Orioles. But it's also how they should have played against the last-place Pirates and against the fourth-place Diamondbacks and, for that matter, these same last-place Orioles the first two games of the series, and they didn't. So we'll take a businesslike victory like today's. Jeff Snider is here to talk about the Dodgers getting great performances from three future Hall of Famers: Clayton Kershaw, Shohei Ohtani, and Mookie Betts. They also got contributions from most of the rest of the team. We'll also dig into the news that Max Muncy and Alex Vesia are returning from their respective oblique injuries on Monday, with Tommy Edman not far behind, and the corresponding roster moves that are coming.

A WEEKLY CANDID CONVERSATION ON GAMBLING ADDICTION Part 1 of Craig's interview with Matthew Bowyer. Matthew was Shohei Ohtani's interpreter's Ippei Mizuhara's bookmaker. In this episode Matt talks about his own personal experiences with gambling, how he became a bookmaker & his early interactions with Ippei Mizuhara.

George Van Haltren played between 1887 and 1903, retiring with a .316 batting average, 1642 runs, 2544 hits, and 583 stolen bases. He is is 1 of only 5 players with 1600+ runs, 550+ steals and a career .300+ avg. The other 4 are HOFers Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Eddie Collins, and Billy Hamilton.  Additionally, "Rip" (as he was known) was perhaps the original dual threat player, and retired with a pitching record of 40-31 with a 4.05 ERA and 281 strikeouts. He had what can be considered two successful "two-way" seasons long before Shohei Ohtani made it seem so easy. In 1888 Rip went 13-13 with a 3.52 ERA and 139 K's while batting .283 with 14 triples and 21 stolen bases. In 1890 he went 15-10 with a 4.28 ERA, 48 K's, and batted .335 with 84 runs, 9 triples, 54 RBI and 35 stolen bases. Rip had 11 seasons with 100+ runs tied for 4th best all-time. At the time of his retirement he was in the top 10 all-time in hits, stolen bases, runs, and walks. But the first Hall of Fame class was not until 1936 and Rip's career has been lost in the sands of time. Will he ever make a HOF ballot and find his long overdue day in July Cooperstown sun?

Defense Attorney Joe Tacopina joins the show for his weekly Friday morning appearance to talk about the New York mayoral race and Manhattan DA contest. Tacopina reflects on Jim Walden's exit from the race, praising his qualifications but recognizing Curtis Sliwa as the candidate gaining real momentum. He criticizes Alvin Bragg for abandoning common-sense prosecution and praises Maud Maron for her strong plan to restore accountability and public safety, including repealing bail reform and Bragg's “day one memo.” He also discusses the lack of mandatory debates, which allows incumbents like Bragg to avoid scrutiny. The conversation then shifts to sports scandals, where Tacopina bluntly asserts that Shohei Ohtani did bet on baseball and criticizes MLB for protecting its stars. Finally, Tacopina shares a lighthearted story about having lunch with Alex Rodriguez, praising his career, ownership role with the Timberwolves, and making the case that A-Rod deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

In this pregame episode of the All Dodgers podcast, Jeff Snider delivers important updates centered around the Dodgers' pitching and injury situation ahead of their game against the Baltimore Orioles. The primary news is the scratching of starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow due to back tightness, a recurring issue that raises some concern given his injury history. Shohei Ohtani is set to start in Glasnow's place, although he is expected to have a limited outing of three to four innings due to a recent illness that caused him to miss a start. The podcast also provides updates on other key injured Dodgers players including Max Muncy, Tommy Edman, Will Smith, and several pitchers on rehab assignments or sidelined for the season. There is optimism about the possible return of some players like Muncy and Edman in the coming weeks, which could bolster the struggling Dodgers offense and improve defensive alignment. The bullpen is expected to be heavily relied upon in today's game, but the Dodgers remain favorites to win despite the pitching shuffle. Additional mentions include the ongoing management of Will Smith's hand injury and the status of several pitchers unlikely to return this year.

En la edición de hoy de Baseball News hablamos del polémico y bochornoso arbitraje de Brian Walsh, cuyas decisiones en la novena entrada desataron la furia de los Yankees. Aaron Boone y Devin Williams terminaron expulsados y el equipo perdió el juego tras la remontada de los Astros encabezada por Yordan Álvarez con 4 imparables. Además:

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers dropped a second straight game to the Pirates, failing to score a run Wednesday night. But more importantly, catcher Will Smith was hit on his right hand by a foul ball and left the game with a right hand contusion. Shohei Ohtani had two hits, including a double, but didn't make his scheduled pitching start, pushed back to this weekend in Baltimore because he was feeling under the weather. The Three-Inning Save is part of the Fans First Sports Network. Hosted by Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch, with questions from Craig Minami. Produced by Brian Salvatore.

At 3:18 they dive into the first matchup, Miami Marlins vs Washington Nationals. Munaf highlights Mitchell Parker's struggles while Griffin emphasizes Miami's improved form but admits the price is tough to justify. By 5:34 the New York Mets vs Detroit Tigers discussion turns into a critique of Casey Mize's numbers and the shaky Tigers bullpen, with both leaning toward the over. At 9:12 they cover Texas Rangers vs Arizona Diamondbacks. Jack Leiter's inexperience and Arizona's offensive power are discussed, with Zach Gallen's desert struggles also noted. Munaf points to Gallant's home ERA issues, leaving room for Texas value.

At 15:34 the Dodgers vs Pirates brings Shohei Ohtani into focus. Griffin leans slightly toward Pittsburgh value but Munaf stresses Ohtani's upside and recent improvement. They explore how the Dodgers might deploy him in October. At 19:48 Toronto Blue Jays vs Cincinnati Reds brings Shane Bieber's post-surgery resurgence into the spotlight, with Munaf impressed by Bieber's control. They suggest backing Toronto despite Cincinnati's hitter-friendly park. By 23:19 the Mariners vs Rays matchup shows George Kirby's control versus Adrian Houser's regression. Griffin leans toward Tampa Bay at home while Munaf likes the under. At 29:23 the Braves vs Cubs features Bryce Elder's volatility and Horton's blister issues, leading to interest in an over. At 32:23 the Phillies vs Brewers matchup becomes a highlight. Both analyze Aaron Nola and Jose Quintana, ultimately agreeing Philadelphia offers value as an underdog. At 37:12 the White Sox vs Twins matchup centers on Gomez versus prospect Zevi Matthews, with Munaf leaning over 8.5 as both pitchers have struggled. At 39:48 Athletics vs Cardinals brings Jeffrey Springs vs Matthew Liberatore, with both siding with Oakland as the sharper play. At 43:02 Yankees vs Astros highlights Jason Alexander's success in Houston's rotation, with Munaf backing the Astros as a plus-money home side. At 47:33 Giants vs Rockies ends the game breakdown. Coors Field and Robbie Ray's unpredictability lead to an over lean. At 49:26 best bets are revealed: Griffin selects the Phillies as a live underdog while Munaf goes with White Sox vs Twins over 8.5. They close at 52:44 by reminding listeners of the Pregame.com promo code and the importance of contest participation. This preview delivers actionable insight on pitching matchups, bullpen depth, and lineup form. The commentary blends betting strategy with game analysis, showing where value might lie in money lines, run lines, totals, and first-five opportunities. With the playoff race heating up, the focus is on identifying underdog value, fading over-priced arms, and trusting teams with proven bats and bullpens. The conclusion is clear: Wednesday's card offers a mix of live dogs and high-scoring opportunities, led by the Phillies against the Brewers and offensive potential in White Sox vs Twins .
