This week, I'm honored to welcome Coach Keith Madison — former University of Kentucky Head Baseball Coach, ABCA Hall of Famer, ABCA Lefty Gomez Award winner and author of Coaching With Purpose.Coach Madison led the Wildcats for 25 seasons, retiring with the third-most wins in SEC history, behind only Ron Polk and Skip Bertman. But his impact extends far beyond the record books. Through Inside Pitch Magazine, SCORE International, and now his book Coaching With Purpose, he continues to guide coaches and players toward something bigger than the game itself.Coach Madison's story is about far more than baseball — it's about why we coach and who we become through the process.
Welcome to Episode 90 of Tablesetters, where the game's biggest stories collide with scorching heat, late-June pressure, and postseason implications already beginning to brew. We begin in Omaha, where the LSU Tigers didn't just win their eighth College World Series — they secured their place as the defining force in modern college baseball. From the dynasty built by Skip Bertman to the edge honed by Jay Johnson, LSU's legacy now spans three decades, multiple eras, and a standard no one else in the sport has matched. Then we shift west, where the Padres and Dodgers turned a simmering rivalry into a full-blown powder keg. Benches cleared, stars got plunked, and managers were tossed in a four-game series that saw eight hit batters and more bad blood than baseball. This wasn't just a tense series — it was personal. And the aftermath could define the rest of the NL West race. In New York, the Mets and Braves meet again — both clubs in search of clarity and consistency as they open a four-game set under the oppressive Queens heat. Atlanta may have swept New York last week, but both teams are still trying to find themselves in a season that keeps asking questions they can't quite answer. From Chris Sale's injury to Frankie Montas' high-stakes return, we break down what's at stake in a pivotal series. We also head to Cincinnati, where the Reds are turning the page — and turning to fire. Chase Burns, one of the most hyped pitching prospects in recent memory, will make his major league debut against the Yankees. With the rotation in tatters and the Reds hovering around .500, this isn't just a call-up — it's a bet on the future. We unpack Burns' meteoric rise, what makes his arsenal electric, and why his debut feels like a potential franchise reset. Elsewhere around the league, big names are coming and going. Max Scherzer returns to the Blue Jays. Shota Imanaga and Nathan Eovaldi are nearing activation. Adley Rutschman hits the IL. And the Padres and Mariners move on from veterans Jason Heyward and Rowdy Tellez. We close with a look at the surging and the slumping — a segment spotlighting players heating up or going ice cold. And in the AL MVP race, Cal Raleigh's historic first half behind the plate has Mariners fans fired up — but Aaron Judge is quietly putting together one of the best seasons of his career.

The LSU Tigers were dominating on Saturday night in their College World Series opener vs. Arkansas. Well, maybe we should say pitcher Kade Anderson was dominating. Can Anthony Eyanson do something similar Monday night vs. UCLA, and how important is it the Tigers remain in the winners' bracket? Host Jim Derry has a nice chat with Advocate and Times-Picayune LSU beat writer Koki Riley on Monday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 386) presented by Evangeline Securities. They'll also talk about an interesting stat in which the Tigers are nearly unbeatable if they score a certain amount of runs, and is Coach Jay Johnson about to step into Skip Bertman territory? Jim also has thoughts on the importance of the Saints signing running back Cam Akers and whether he will play a role for this team. Lastly, Gabe Henderson has a few things he wants to talk about and his opinion on Akers, who is a former Houston Texan.

We have spent most of the late spring and early summer talking about the potential for the New Orleans Saints' new offense under Klint Kubiak. But what about Dennis Allen's defense? They were not good last season against the run and had virtually no pass rush. Will they be better? Can they find depth on the defensive line, and is this the last year for Hall-of-Famer to be defensive end Cameron Jordan? Jim Derry talks to his old friend, Larry Holder of The Athletic, on Friday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 248) presented by Evangeline Securities. They also offer their early top surprise picks in the NFL and potential disappointments, as well as Jim's and Larry's Super Bowl predictions (which they reserve the right to change before September). Lastly in the ‘Extra Point,' Jim looks back 33 years to when LSU baseball started its run in becoming the premier program in the country and Skip Bertman became a legend, as they won their first national championship over Wichita State.

On this episode of The Secrets to Winning, I chat with Glenn Guilbeau of OutKick.com and author of Everything Matters in Baseball: The Skip Bertman Story. The book is about my former LSU head baseball coach Skip Bertman, the man who brought winning baseball to LSU. It sheds light on Skip's work ethic, inventiveness, attention to detail, entrepreneurial ability, and overall contributions to LSU in his capacity as coach and later as athletic director. It includes chapters on each of the five National Championships won under his direction, beginning in 1991; it reveals his secrets to training great pitchers who later pitched in the Major Leagues; and it shows how he embraced and used "The Power of Positive Thinking" throughout his career.
