Podcast appearances and mentions of Tommy John

On this week's episode, Josh talks to right-handed pitcher Bryce Osmond who is in his third season with the Trash Pandas.  In the interview Bryce discusses his decision to focus on baseball while abandoning his football career, his days at Oklahoma State, and the struggle of coming back from Tommy John surgery.

What does it take to keep grinding when the stadium lights fade, your organization is no longer behind you, and you are left facing a grueling two-year recovery entirely on your own? In this powerful episode of Very Bold Radio and Podcast, host Steve Teel sits down for a dynamic third interview with professional baseball pitcher and certified flamethrower, Jacob Coats. After touching an unofficial 101 MPH on the radar gun and pitching within the Houston Astros organization, Jacob faced a career-altering hurdle: a torn UCL ligament requiring major Tommy John surgery. Jacob opens up about the silent, lonely two-year battle of rehabilitation without a team holding him accountable, the profound mental and spiritual warfare he faced in empty training facilities, and the unique motivating factors—including family, his fiancee Emily, and the future dream of playing catch with his own children—that kept him from walking away. Fast forward to last season: signed by the Gary SouthShore RailCats, Jacob transitioned into a dominant new role as a true, high-adrenaline closer. He shares what it felt like to lock down 13 saves, post a 2.89 ERA, hold opposing hitters to a staggering .195 average, and ultimately earn a spot at the 2025 American Association All-Star Game. Beyond the stats, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the raw reality of independent baseball—from 11-hour overnight bus rides and bed bugs to the incredible power of stadium chaplains and team prayers. More than anything, Jacob shares how he uses his baseball platform not for personal glory, but as a bold testament to God’s healing power and presence. Key Takeaways & Highlights The Mental & Spiritual Battle of Rehab: Jacob details the deep isolation of a two-year recovery outside of affiliated ball, explaining how he leaned on the power of prayer and explicitly rebuked negative thoughts to protect his mind during the hardest days. Thriving Under Pressure in the 9th: Discover the strict, granular 12-to-14-hour daily routine of an independent ball player and why Jacob thrives on the "do-or-die" adrenaline of slamming the door shut as a closer. The Reality of the "Indy Ball" Grind: A candid look at the unglamorous side of chasing a dream, featuring late-night drives, hostile hotel environments, and the deep player camaraderie built through shared struggle. America's Pastime as a Platform: Why baseball serves as a unique bridge for patriotism, family connection, and spreading the Gospel. A Full-Circle All-Star Moment: Jacob recalls his favorite highlights from the past season, including closing out a spectacular Friday night game with his parents on the field to watch the fireworks with him for the first time since his surgery.

Shohei Ohtani has done pretty much everything you could want from an offensive standpoint. However, it's what he's doing on the mound that is garnering attention this season. After pitching yet another gem for the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Japanese two-way superstar is performing at a historic level this season. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about what Ohtani is doing on the bump that's led to his recent domination and why this is the best we've seen him pitch in the big leagues. They then discuss where this current stretch puts Shohei in an already incredibly tight NL Cy Young race and whether he could finish ahead of Cristopher Sánchez, Jacob Misiorowski, and Paul Skenes for his first Cy Young Award. Later, Jake and Jordan discuss Aaron Judge's injury, which will keep him out for an extended period of time, and how the New York Yankees will be able to weather the storm until he potentially returns. They also look at Corbin Burnes receiving bad news during his rehab from Tommy John surgery, the San Diego Padres falling into a deeper slump after getting swept by the Philadelphia Phillies, and make their picks for this week's edition of The Good, The Bad & The Uggla. 1:41 - The Opener: Ohtani is dominating 16:19 - A look at the NL Cy Young race 30:15 - Around The League: Aaron Judge is out 44:52 - Padres in a deep funk 47:39 - The Good, The Bad & The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Munaf Manji talks betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji hosts a solo edition of Cash That Ticket on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, working through a loaded sports night that includes Game 1 of the 2026 NBA Finals and a six-game MLB Wednesday slate packed with elite starting pitching matchups. Co-host Dave Essler sent in detailed pregame notes that Munaf reads and builds upon throughout the episode, producing a collaborative breakdown even without Dave in the booth. The show opens with a recap of Tuesday, where the under in the first five innings of the Brewers and Giants game cashed behind Kyle Harrison's career-high 12-strikeout performance for Milwaukee, though the Cubs team total over did not survive Chicago's one-run first inning and subsequent silence. The show stands three and one on best bets for the month of June. On the NBA Finals, Munaf discusses tonight's Game 1 in San Antonio with the Spurs as four-and-a-half point home favorites over the Knicks at a total of 218.5. Rather than chasing the historical Game 1 under trend, he prefers the second half over around 105.5, reasoning that first-game rust and jitters will suppress scoring early before both teams open up. The Knicks arrive with eight days of rest following their sweep of Cleveland while the Spurs are three days removed from a Game 7 win over Oklahoma City that was aided by the injury absences of Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell. Munaf singles out OG Anunoby as his Game 1 player prop, taking him over 15.5 points at minus 115 on DraftKings, and identifies Dylan Harper as the Spurs' most critical secondary contributor beyond Victor Wembanyama. Stephon Castle's ability to contain Jalen Brunson and Landry Shamet's timely three-point shooting off the Knicks bench are highlighted as key series variables to watch. On the MLB side, the episode covers six matchups in detail. In Philadelphia, Christopher Sanchez continues his Cy Young-caliber run against Walker Buehler and the Padres, with both Munaf and Dave aligning on the first five innings under and the Phillies run line. At Fenway, Chris Bassett's brutal road splits, including an 8.02 ERA in five away starts, make the Red Sox team total over in the first five innings an attractive play at minus 110 on DraftKings. In New York, Gerrit Cole's third start back from Tommy John surgery against Gavin Williams and the Guardians produces Munaf's official best bet of the night, the Yankees first five innings run line at minus half a run, plus 115 on Bet Online, backed by Cole's 13-3 career record against Cleveland and his flawless return. In Cincinnati, Chase Burns at 7-1 with a 1.96 ERA takes on Stephen Kolek and the Royals, with Munaf structuring a synthetic minus-one play by splitting units across the moneyline and run line. In Atlanta, the Braves run line against Patrick Corbin and the Blue Jays is the clear lean given Atlanta's consistent dominance against left-handed pitching and their habit of winning at home by multiple runs. The episode closes with the Pirates and Astros game featuring Paul Skenes against Spencer Arrighetti, which both Munaf and Dave agree is the best pitching matchup on the slate and produces Uncle Dave's official best bet, the first five innings under four.

This should be a happy time for the Pirates, coming off of a sweep. Unfortunately, Carmen Mlodzinski has made headlines for a reason that is not good. Mullsy thinks the Pirates are doing damage control with Mlodzinski by saying that he just was not ready to pitch yesterday. More callers chime in on the Mlodzinski situation. The Pirates just swept the Twins and now sit at 4 games over .500. Let's focus on the good news now. Never mind. Is it possible that Konnor Griffin will sit for longer than originally anticipated? If there is any concern that the forearm injury could be linked to Tommy John, then the Pirates will be as cautious as they possibly can be. More callers talk Pirates. Donny Football Debrief – The Eagles have officially traded AJ Brown to the Patriots for a 2028 1st and a 2028 5th. Russell Wilson has signed a deal to work on TV for CBS.

Chris McMonigle says the Yankee ace looks as good as he ever has in pinstripes in his first two starts back from Tommy John surgery, raving about Cole's 10-strikeout performance against the Royals on Wednesday night. C-Mac says Cole's resurgence has shown that a Tarik Skubal trade makes no sense for the Yankees.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the latest Giants locker room conversation surrounding Jaxson Dart, Abdul Carter and the political noise that has resurfaced around the team. They break down why the issue became public again, how John Harbaugh may be trying to keep the focus on football, and why locker room leadership matters when outside distractions threaten to take over. The guys also dive into the Yankees' dominant starting rotation, Gerrit Cole's impressive return from Tommy John surgery, and the urgency for Brian Cashman to maximize this championship window. Plus, they revisit the legend of Eric Wagaman, debate the Yankees' record against winning teams, and discuss whether taxes can impact where star athletes choose to play.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to Gerrit Cole's dominant return from Tommy John surgery and what it means for a Yankees rotation that suddenly looks like one of the best in franchise history. Even with injuries and moving pieces, the Yankees' starting pitching has been so strong that it changes the expectations for the entire season. The guys discuss Cole's intensity, Cam Schlittler's emergence, Max Fried's eventual return and why this may be the Yankees' best chance to cash in on a special rotation. They also explain why Brian Cashman has to be aggressive at the trade deadline, because with Cole in his mid thirties and coming off surgery, this championship window may not stay open forever.

Episode 425: Cristopher Sanchez is the talk of baseball. His scoreless innings streak reaches 44 innings, and the guys talk about whether Sanchez truly is the best pitcher in baseball right now. Jared asks Dallas, Jay Hay, and Tyler if we've become too Shohei Othani's two-way greatness. Gerrit Cole's return to pre-Tommy John form leads into a discussion of the recent trade rumors surrounding Astros slugger Yordan Álvarez. And lastly, it's everyone's favorite day of the week, Family Feud Day. Tyler and Dallas run the gauntlet again to see if they can hit that magic number again this week. 00:00:00 - Cristopher Sanchez Best Pitcher In Baseball? 00:15:42 - Who is in the NL Cy Young Race?  00:21:48 - Shohei Ohtani Numbness? 00:27:20 - Gerrit Cole's Return   00:33:52 - Yordan Álvarez Trade Rumors 00:37:22 - Munetaka Murakami All Star? 00:45:49 - Jared's Plea To The Pirates Organization  00:48:08 - Family Feud  01:04:01 - Award-Winning Nugs + More Tyler Confessions 01:12:07 -  Final Thoughts  NEW BID MERCH IS HERE: https://www.baseballisdead.com Trade $20 Get $20 on Kalshi - http://kalshi.com/r/SECTION10 Don't sleep on @ultrapouches.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Wednesday. Griffin Warner is back with a fully loaded Wednesday edition of What I Bet Best Bet, delivering picks across three sports on one of the most action-packed single days of the sports calendar. The episode opens with the UEFA Conference League Final in Leipzig, Germany, where Crystal Palace of the English Premier League takes on Rayo Vallecano of La Liga in the biggest European match either club has ever played. Crystal Palace enters as a half-goal favorite on a neutral pitch, but Griffin makes a pointed case for Rayo at plus-half-goal, arguing that the line overvalues Palace on a neutral site where a draw through ninety minutes or any result in extra time still cashes the Rayo side. The under two and a quarter is also in play as line movement from minus 135 to minus 148 signals sharp money flowing to the low-scoring side. Griffin traces the fascinating managerial backstory, connecting Rayo boss Inigo Perez to Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola and explaining how Brexit work permit rules sent Perez back to Vallecas instead of England, where he built one of the more compelling underdog runs in recent European football. From there, Griffin pivots to the NHL Eastern Conference Final, where Carolina leads Montreal two games to one after back-to-back overtime wins. Griffin remains a Canadiens believer, takes Montreal plus 127 at home in the largest arena in the NHL, and outlines a total strategy of waiting for the line to climb from five and a half to six before buying the under for push protection. The bulk of the episode covers the full 14-game Major League Baseball Wednesday slate, running through every matchup from the Toronto-Miami matinee with Kevin Gausman against Eury Perez to the massive Dodgers-Rockies nightcap featuring Shohei Ohtani against Tomoyuki Sugano. Griffin leans heavily on Christopher Sanchez as a total trust play against Walker Buehler in San Diego, backs the Twins over the White Sox despite Chicago's surprising market momentum, eyes the Sacramento ballpark factor in Mariners-Athletics, and still believes in the Tampa Bay Rays moving forward after Griffin Jax's line drive injury derailed Tuesday's start. The episode closes with Griffin's Best Bet of the day: Kansas City Royals and New York Yankees under nine runs, backing Garrett Cole to deal efficiently in just his second start back from Tommy John surgery while giving genuine credit to Noah Cameron as a left-hander the market consistently undervalues.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed for a loaded Wednesday baseball card on Cash That Ticket, dated May 27, 2026, with the NBA on pause after the New York Knicks swept the Cleveland Cavaliers out of the Eastern Conference Finals and left no playoff action on the schedule. Six MLB games get the full treatment, game by game, pitcher by pitcher, with best bets locked in at the end of the episode. The guys open with a quick Tuesday recap, noting the Brewers three-star loss after Milwaukee scored five of six runs in the wrong inning and the Yankees rocking chair win where the offense exploded for 24 hits and somewhere around 13 or 14 runs, with Munaf cashing his run line and Dave's first five surviving on the back of that first inning. Oklahoma City beat San Antonio 127 to 114, covered the number, and went over the total, now sitting one win away from back to back NBA Finals appearances. First game up is Tampa Bay at Baltimore, where Stephen Matz gets a bit of long overdue respect from the crew and both men land on the Rays team total over given Trey Gibson's limited major league track record and the uncertainty around his pitch count in what is essentially a spot start. The Angels and Tigers follow, and Munaf delivers Jose Soriano's road splits, which are hard to dismiss at a 1.14 ERA this season on the road and a career 2.86 ERA across 32 road starts. Detroit is one and nine in their last ten and carrying a minus 29 run differential, and the lean is first five Angels with an alternate run line as a bonus. Chicago heads to Pittsburgh for a Jameson Taillon and Bubba Chandler matchup, and Dave makes the contrarian call for the Cubs at plus odds, pointing to Chandler's 99-pitch, five-inning outing last start and a season ERA sitting near five as reasons the Pirates may not be the slam dunk many bettors will assume. Bryce Elder and Connelly Early face off at Fenway in a game the guys expect to produce runs, with Elder's 1.97 road ERA and Early's 4.43 ERA at home pointing toward the Braves team total over as the primary play. Gerrit Cole makes his second start since coming back from Tommy John surgery against Noah Cameron in Kansas City, and Munaf makes a data-driven case for the Yankees team total over four and a half at minus 130 based on Cameron's history against New York, where the Royals lefty has surrendered eleven earned runs and five home runs in fewer than nine career innings against this lineup. Jacob deGrom and Mike Burrows square off in Arlington for a Rangers and Astros matchup that Dave calls as the game total over seven and a half, with Burrows allowing eleven earned runs in his last two starts and deGrom pricing oddly low for a home favorite. The nightcap belongs to Shohei Ohtani on the mound for the Dodgers against Tomoyuki Sugano and Colorado, with Ohtani confirmed to pitch after exiting Tuesday's blowout win as a precaution following a hit by pitch on his right hand. Neither man wants to lay minus 411, and the Rockies first five innings under one and a half at minus 165 is the only angle worth touching at this price. Best bets close the show: Dave goes over seven and a half in Arlington, Munaf goes Yankees team total over four and a half minus 130. Pregame.com listeners can access Munaf's all access picks through the MLB All Star break for one hundred ninety nine dollars using promo code NERD50, which saves fifty dollars off the standard price and delivers forty nine days of every pick in every sport including games of the week, month, and year, with the offer good through June 8.

JD reacts to the Vegas Golden Knights taking a commanding 3-0 series lead. Ben Nicholson-Smith, MLB insider and Sportsnet Jays reporter, discusses the minor injuries to Dylan Cease and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., if Patrick Corbin is the Jays MVP so far this season, which position player will be sent down with the nearing returns of Addison Barger and Nathan Lukes, Alejandro Kirk's next steps to returning, what Guerrero Jr.'s expectations were this season, what José Berríos' Tommy John surgery means for the future of the Jays rotation, and if the Jays are serious contenders to trade or sign for Tarik Skubal.

Braxton Ashcraft was absolutely dominant against the Cardinals, cementing himself as the must-add pitching target on waiver wires. Corey Pieper breaks down the top injury news, studs and duds, the Pitching Planner segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. Unfortunately, we will be without Robby Snelling for the rest of this season and perhaps all of next season with Tommy John surgery. It looked like another injury for Ronald Acuna Jr., but that may have just been a scare. In studs and duds, Cade Cavalli matched Ashcraft with a brilliant nine-strikeout performance and Michael Harris crushed two home runs, while veteran ace Sandy Alcantara got completely shelled for six earned runs in a miserable outing.

Today, I'm talking with Tom Patterson, founder of Tommy John, the underwear brand that turned a frustrating problem into a 9-figure business. Tom started the company after getting tired of undershirts constantly coming untucked while working in medical sales. What began as a simple fix turned into one of the biggest direct-to-consumer apparel success stories of the last 15 years. In this conversation, we break down how Tommy John bootstrapped its way to over $100M in revenue before taking meaningful outside capital, why Howard Stern and Kevin Hart became game-changing growth channels, and what founders misunderstand about building premium consumer brands today. Tom also shares lessons on raising capital, balancing wholesale with direct-to-consumer, building a company with your spouse, and why experience can actually become a disadvantage in fast-changing markets.   Key Takeaways (01:27) Leveraging Howard Stern's Audience (03:08) Pioneering Podcast/Radio Marketing (04:25) Starting Tommy John with $100 and a Sketch (07:27) How Useful is a Patent?

One-hit losses will do that thing where they don't just beat you, they make you question everything. That's where we're at with the New York Yankees right now: five losses in six games, a lineup that goes quiet for long stretches, and late leads that feel like they're borrowed time. I talk through why this slide is happening so fast, and why it's not enough to wave it away as “just May.”I dig into the two patterns behind the recent mess: comatose hitting and bullpen disasters. The one-run game record tells a story, and it's not a lucky-break story. I get into what the Yankees aren't doing at the plate, from poor situational hitting to too many regulars performing well below even their own career standards. When only a few bats are producing, every mistake becomes louder and every close game becomes a coin flip.Then I hit the injury pileup and what it does to the big picture. Max Fried's elbow soreness, Giancarlo Stanton's stalled return, Jason Dominguez missing weeks, Caballero on the IL, and the uncertainty of Gerrit Cole coming back strong from Tommy John rehab all change what this team can realistically be in the short term. I also give Paul Goldschmidt his flowers, then get blunt about tougher roster calls, including concerns about Anthony Volpe and whether Spencer Jones should be used to bring back real help.If you care about where the Yankees are headed, subscribe, share this with a friend who's spiraling too, and leave a quick review so more fans find the show.

Folks, this week's episode of Next on the Tee is a really special one…and an emotional one too. I'm joined by three tremendous guys who have great stories to share and who remind us what this game — and the friendships that come from it — are all about. First up is 2019 PGA Tour Champions Player of the Year Scott McCarron. Scott has become a great friend over the years, someone who is very important to me. Scott opens up about the toughest battle of his life after recently being diagnosed with cancer. He shares how he discovered it, the frightening moments that followed when his test results came back, and the treatment journey he's now taking on with courage, faith, and determination. Then Scott's longtime friend, UCLA teammate, fraternity brother, and fellow PGA Tour Champions winner Brandt Jobe jumps into the conversation. You'll hear stories from their lifelong friendship, the time Brandt beat Scott by a stroke on Tour, and Scott returning the favor a few weeks later. Plus, the injuries Brandt has overcome, his battle to get back out on Tour, and his son Jackson Jobe making his way back from Tommy John surgery to pitch this year for the Detroit Tigers. I close things out with another terrific visit from Clark Dennis, who looks back on his great play at the 1994 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club, his win at the 2024 Costa Navarino Legends Tournament in Greece with his son on the bag, and his successes playing over on the European Legends Tour. It's an episode filled with friendship, perseverance, gratitude, great golf stories, and the kind of conversations that remind us why we love this game so much.

This week on Life Between Sundays, I sat down with Tim Ross for one of the most honest and needed conversations I've had on the podcast. We talked about peace, pressure, leadership, burnout, vulnerability, and what it looks like to stay human while serving others. Tim shared openly about the rhythms that have helped him slow down, protect his family, and refuse to let success define him. From putting his phone on "Do Not Disturb" for three years to saying "home is the win," this conversation challenged me deeply. We also went into some heavier but incredibly important topics - silence, temptation, mental health, therapy, pastoral pressure, and why vulnerability might actually be one of the greatest gifts we can give each other. There were multiple moments in this conversation where I honestly felt like I was in a counseling session myself.   If you've been feeling overwhelmed, restless, stretched thin, or just trying to hold it all together, I think this episode will meet you right where you are.

You're probably spending too much on travel baseball for the wrong reasons — and the people telling you it's necessary are the ones who benefit when you do. MLB agent Matt Hannaford answers three listener questions that hit the same nerve every travel ball parent shares: how much is too much, when does specialization actually make sense, and what do you do when a coach is treating your kid unfairly.    WHAT YOU'LL LEARN - Why no college coach or pro scout is watching your 11-year-old play — and what that means for where to spend your money - The hierarchy most travel ball families have backwards: exposure, competition, development — and why flipping it is the only path that actually works - When sport specialization makes sense (and the warning sign that it's happening too early) - The Tommy John surgery reality nobody tells you about — and why a 13-year-old with a torn UCL has a problem his parents don't understand yet - How to talk to a youth coach about playing time without your kid paying the price   Matt opens with a question from Steve, a parent who just paid $3,200 for summer travel ball for his 11-year-old son and is staring down another $7,000 of expenses this year. Matt's answer reframes the entire spending conversation. No college coach is scouting 11-year-olds. No pro scout is scouting 11-year-olds. The only people scouting 11-year-olds are other travel ball programs trying to recruit your kid into the next paid tier. From there, Matt walks through the development-first hierarchy and explains why it has to come before competition and exposure, not after. He uses Brandon Nimmo as a real example — a first-round MLB draft pick who came out of Wyoming and barely attended any showcase events in high school. The lesson: if your son is good enough, they will find him. The events most parents are told they have to attend are not the gatekeepers parents think they are. Rick's question follows: his 10-year-old's travel coach is telling the family to drop soccer and focus on baseball year-round. Matt pulls from his own multi-sport background — hockey, baseball, basketball, football — and from the Aspen Institute research on youth burnout to explain why early specialization is being sold to families who do not need it. He shares a story from his own client base: a travel ball coach whose player tore his UCL after a parent ignored a rest warning and took the kid to play in another team's tournament. The doctor's recommendation: put baseball down for six years. The final question comes from Sean, whose son was moved to batting ninth after one fielding error — despite hitting .380. Matt names what is actually happening here. Coaches do not move hitters down for a defensive error. That is a coach with an axe to grind, not a coaching decision. He gives parents and high school players a step-by-step framework for the conversation: do not complain about lineup spot, ask what specifically the coach needs to see for trust to be earned back, and hold the coach accountable to his own answer. The episode covers college recruiting timing, the WWBA tournament in Atlanta, Perfect Game events in Jupiter, and what USA Baseball selection actually looks like.   ABOUT THE SHOW  Matt Hannaford is an MLB agent with 26 years representing Major League Baseball players.

Brice Turang's Mother's Day walk-off homer provided a great capper to the weekend and added a dash of nostalgia to a Yankees sweep. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe also discuss the latest superstar performance from Jacob Misiorowski, a wild defensive decision by the Yankees and the triumphant return of Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn to the lineup. What about the other injury guys like Brandon Woodruff, Christian Yelich and Quinn Priester? Is the team any closer to making a change at shortstop? With Ángel Zerpa facing Tommy John surgery, will the Brewers ever send another player to the World Baseball Classic? In Three Up Three Down (38:30), they discuss CC Sabathia on the wall of honor, an unwelcome flashback, some ABS weirdness and the king of vulture wins, Aaron Ashby. In Remembrew When (58:00), there's no choice but to discuss Bill Hall on Mother's Day, and in Curt Blanche (1:01:00), Curt believes there's a far greater Mother's Day homer that we never discuss. Then, JR is joined by Brewers reliever Jake Woodford (1:07:00), whose Major League debut was delayed in the strangest of ways, when he was holed up with the St. Louis Cardinals in Milwaukee's Pfister Hotel following a COVID-19 outbreak among the team. Then, he's joined by prospect Andrew Fischer (1:13:00), who hit two home runs on Sunday and continues to pound the ball for Single-A Wisconsin.

This week on Trading Secrets, Jason Tartick is back with the Curious Canadian for another 30 Minute Thursday! The two break down the biggest moments from the Kentucky Derby and Met Gala, share some hilarious stories from Jason's parents being in town, and recap this week's conversation with Tom Patterson — including the business lessons, brand-building insights, and unexpected moments from the episode. 

Ten weeks to start throwing after UCL surgery sounds like a miracle timeline, until you're the clinician staring at a stiff elbow, a deconditioned arm, and a protocol that assumes the athlete is further along than reality. We're seeing more internal brace UCL repairs and fewer “classic” Tommy John reconstructions, and that shift is changing how baseball pitchers, gymnasts, and other overhead athletes move through rehab.We talk through what's actually different about the internal brace procedure, why surgeons became so optimistic early on, and why many athletes still aren't truly ready to throw at week 10 even if they're technically cleared. Readiness means more than ligament stability. We dig into the practical stuff that decides outcomes: restoring extension early without creating inflammation, building real strength and arm care habits, and using a plyometric progression before a return-to-throwing program. We also share what we're watching for clinically, including ulnar nerve irritation from prolonged bracing, motion that never quite “settles,” and the unique posterior-medial elbow pain that can show up with deep flexion or forced extension.Most importantly, we argue for criteria-based rehab over calendar-based rehab. If the athlete has time before the next season, use it to build capacity instead of chasing an artificial milestone. If you work in sports physical therapy, sports medicine, or baseball performance, this conversation will help you spot red flags early and guide internal brace athletes with more confidence.Subscribe, share this with a coach or clinician who manages throwing programs, and leave a review if it helps. What's the earliest return-to-throwing timeline you've seen that actually held up long term?To see full show notes and more, head to: https://mikereinold.com/the-new-tommy-john-the-rise-of-the-internal-brace/ ----------ACL Rehab MasterclassMy new course on the complete guide to criteria-based ACL rehab testing in return to sport is almost here.  Sign up for the presale list for a huge VIP discount and to be notified first:https://mikereinold.com/acl Click Here to View My Online CoursesWant to learn more from me?

Craig Sandlin breaks down the news that Tejay Antone's contract has been selected by the Cincinnati Reds, bringing the right handed relief pitcher back to the major leagues for the first time since his 3rd Tommy John surgery in 2024.

Happy Hump Day, yo! Staying chilly today before warming up tomorrow & Friday. Gonna get back into the 70's this weekend. In the news this morning, the latest on that cruise ship that's dealing with a deadly hantavirus outbreak, a recall on potato chips, a warning about a new scam involving the IRS, a missing hotel owner is found inside of a crocodile, and possible refunds from the IRS from the Covid era could be waiting for you! In sports, the Brewers & Cardinals got postponed yesterday due to weather and will now make up that game in July, reliever Angel Zerpa's season is done as he'll be getting Tommy John surgery, the Brew Crew revealed their plans for a 25th Anniversary celebration of Am-Fam Field, and we also looked at last night's NBA & NHL playoff action along with a rundown of tonight's games. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and what we've been watching. Plus, more concerts are coming to the big screens. Elsewhere in sports, Stefon Diggs gets a "not guilty" verdict in his alleged assault case, soccer star Neymar is being investigated, and the Beer Skate sold out…unless you want to spend a bunch of money online for one. We had a new "Karen of the Day" who is really upset about losing out on shotgun, and we also played "One Gotta Go Wednesday" - Music edition this morning. Great story about a woman with MS who just became the first person in a wheelchair to complete the entire 1,000km Munda Biddi Trail, and another great story about a woman who was recently reunited with a CPS caseworker that helped her two decades ago while she was still in foster care. Do you like soccer? Do you need money? There's a new job that is looking to pay someone to watch the World Cup…while being watched themselves. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaWoman who allegedly kicked a child at a youth football game, people in China who are creating A.I. versions of their ex-partners, a popular squishy toy that exploded and burned a child's face, a drunk woman who tried to mow down a kid with her car, and a school director in Arkansas who was running a child Fight Club.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Jason is joined by Tom Patterson — co-founder of Tommy John — for a conversation on what it really takes to build a nine-figure brand from scratch in one of the most overlooked categories in apparel.Tom shares the full story behind Tommy John — from walking away from a stable six-figure career in medical device sales to betting everything on a simple idea: fixing a problem he personally experienced with men's undershirts. With no background in fashion, no industry connections, and just a few thousand dollars, he set out to create a better product — one that would eventually disrupt the entire category.He breaks down the early days of the business — spending roughly $5K to create his first 200 shirts, selling on consignment, getting rejected by retailers, and relying on sales skills to get in the door. From folding inventory himself to traveling store-to-store training sales associates, Tom shares what it actually looked like to build the business from the ground up.Tom also dives into the financial realities of entrepreneurship — funding the business with savings, 401(k) money, and credit cards, going years without paying himself, and navigating the constant pressure of cash flow in the early stages.The turning point came when Tommy John landed in major retailers and later experienced explosive growth through non-traditional marketing — including a breakthrough moment on the The Howard Stern Show that led to record-breaking sales and ultimately shaped the brand's entire marketing strategy.Tom explains how the company scaled from a startup to a nine-figure business, including the importance of product innovation, brand differentiation, and building a loyal customer base in a highly competitive space. He also shares how strategic partnerships, celebrity endorsements, and a diversified marketing approach helped fuel long-term growth.Beyond the business, Tom opens up about the personal side of the journey — including the stress, burnout, and panic attack that forced him to reevaluate his leadership style, priorities, and overall approach to building the company.From burning the boats and betting on himself to navigating growth, risk, and long-term scaling, Tom gives a raw and honest look at what it really takes to turn a simple idea into a category-defining business.Tom reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!Subscribe to the Trading Secrets podcast!

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Esler are back on the Cash That Ticket podcast for the Pregame.com Podcast Network's Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a full Thursday breakdown covering three NBA first-round Game 3 matchups, the opening night of the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, and an MLB getaway day card with a pair of solid night games in the mix. Coming off a split Wednesday where Dave cashed on the Mets first-five-innings under and Munaf got the hook on Cade Cunningham's PRA by exactly one total point, the guys waste no time getting into the Thursday action. CJ McCollum's 32-point Game 2 performance at Madison Square Garden — where he came back from 12 down in the fourth quarter to lead Atlanta to a 107-106 win over the Knicks — sets the stage for Game 3 in Atlanta, and Dave makes his case for the over at 216.5, pointing to Atlanta's pace, their weak defensive interior, and a market that has moved too far off two cold Knicks fourth quarters. Munaf adds first-quarter Hawks and first-half over angles in the same game. In the Cavaliers-Raptors series, both hosts land on Toronto at home despite the 0-2 hole, citing Cleveland's brutal 9-and-19 road ATS record as a road favorite this season and the reality that the Raptors have actually played Cleveland even across six of the eight quarters in this series. For Denver and Minnesota in Game 3, Dave puts the Wolves at home on the side at plus-2.5 after breaking down why Minnesota was the better team in Game 2 despite the drama of falling behind 14 early, while Munaf makes his official best bet the Timberwolves-Nuggets first-half over at 113.5 — both games in this series have seen both teams combine for 62-62 and 64-64 at the half. On the baseball side, Dave goes back to Joe Ryan and the Twins in the first five innings against a Mets team that is sending Christian Scott to the mound for his first MLB start since returning from Tommy John surgery, and both hosts caution strongly against forcing action on getaway day games without confirmed lineups. The NFL Draft segment covers the near-certain Mendoza-to-Raiders pick one, the Reese-to-Jets pick two, and the burning question of whether New Orleans executes their trade up to the three spot to grab Reese ahead of Arizona's Jeremiyah Love decision. Monroe Freeling gets a spotlight as the projected first offensive lineman off the board to Cleveland at six.

“God, I am so NOT relaxed right now. But I need to just embrace what I read recently — you need the courage to be rubbish. Just relax, stop worrying about everything being perfect, and do it.” I said that to my dad, Lloyd, as we sat down to record our podcast last week–which turned out to be the opposite of rubbish. We spoke our minds. What it means to live in the gain versus the gap, Lloyd’s honest relationship with pessimism and age, and why we both keep showing up to do this work. Oh, and our latest feelings about the Cubs. Listen on your favorite podcast app using pod.link.     . View the podcast at the bottom of this post or on our YouTube Channel.

But I need to just embrace what I read recently — you need the courage to be rubbish. Just relax, stop worrying about everything being perfect, and do it. So that’s what we’re going to do today. Lloyd: I will attempt not to be total rubbish. Just partial rubbish. Noah: You don’t want to try to be rubbish — you want to feel okay with being rubbish. Are you okay with being rubbish? Lloyd: It’s difficult to accept. What I really want to be able to say is: today has been a good day. I struggle with that sometimes. Noah: I’m glad to hear that, because you came in an hour ago kind of like me, unsettled. Do you feel grateful today? Lloyd: I do. I feel grateful for having this day. Noah: I just finished listening to this book about gratitude, 30 days, a different angle each day. The one I listened to this morning: be grateful for moments before they happen, not after. Thank the world for this unforeseen, magnificent thing that’s about to happen, even if it seems mundane. So today on my commute, I said: thank you for the magnificent thing that’s going to happen while I’m sending out quotes to customers. Lloyd: I’m grateful to be here with you, passing ideas back and forth, disagreeing, trying to come up with something provocative and useful. Noah: You wanted to talk about why you’re still in the machinery business at 81. Why are you? Lloyd: The question I ask myself every day is: why am I so damn obsessed about age? About being 81. How did I get to live to be 81, and am I still any good at what I’m pretending to do every day? Noah: That’s BS. You’re not pretending anything. Lloyd: There is an aspect of what I’m fighting against: my negativity and pessimism. A leader beset by negativity doesn’t do a good job. I fear my fear about how the business is going to do is self-defeating. Noah: What’s interesting is that business has been so rough for many months, and yet you keep getting right back up. Not complaining. Finding optimism in the next thing. To me, that makes you an amazing optimist. Lloyd: Depends on the day. Every day in business you get hit with problems, with disappointment in others, in yourself. The hard part, and it gets worse as you get older, is staying buoyant. Knowing the next day could be better. Noah: And that’s where the courage to be rubbish comes in. Just push through. Noah: I woke up this morning feeling kind of yucky too. A deal isn’t working, I’m questioning my purpose. But here’s what I do: every night before bed, I write down my wins for the day. 99% of the time, there’s something genuinely positive, a good call with a customer, time with family, learning something new. And every day I write down one serendipitous thing that happened. When you name it, things have more meaning. Lloyd: (on age 81) Some days I think: Lloyd, you’re so fortunate. This is 18 years of gravy after a heart attack, enjoy each day. And other days I think: 81, I’m almost out of days, and that’s depressing precisely because I’m enjoying each one. I don’t want to be out. Noah: That’s living in the gap versus the gain right there. Lloyd: Explain the “Gap in the Gain” concept. Noah: Great book. Highly recommend it. It’s by Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy. The idea: high achievers set ideals, “I want to be rich, I want to be happy,” and they never feel like they’ve arrived because the ideal keeps moving. That’s living in the gap. But if you actually define what a win looks like and document when you win, you start living in the gain. It totally changes your mindset. It’s why it’s powerful to look back at the end of the day before you sleep, and Sullivan even suggests writing down a win for the next day before it’s happened. Lloyd: Write down what you’ve won when you haven’t experienced it yet? Noah: I know, mysterious. I almost never do it. But it ties back to being grateful in advance. I think it puts you in the right frame of mind. Lloyd: I don’t write it, but I imagine it. And giving thanks usually puts me in the right frame of mind to go to sleep. Lloyd: Let’s talk about why we do these podcasts. Why do I write the blog? Noah: The Graff-Pinkert Times, the granddaddy of Today’s Machining World. Was it ever really about business? Lloyd: Honestly? It was a showcase for my writing. Ego gratification, and to brand the company, give it an image of quality and originality. But the underlying reason was as a showcase for my creativity, using the machinery business as a vehicle. Noah: You have a master’s in journalism from Michigan. You wrote for the Michigan Daily. You did it partly because it’s fun. Lloyd: That’s right. And it still is fun. To create something original that nobody has ever done before, and see it published. It’s still a thrill. Noah: I feel like it fills a hole in me, a sense of purpose. I want it to leave its mark. You want something different: you want somebody to actually reach out and say it affected them. Lloyd: I want the dopamine. But I also believe the things I write have sufficient merit that people should read them and get value. The piece I wrote yesterday about my wife Risa’s headache coaching program, I spent a lot of time on it, felt good about it. Then I looked and there were no comments. Did anybody read this? Did anybody care? Noah: We really need to put likes back on the website. Lloyd: But I do believe that somebody in Arizona is going to read that, or tell someone in Boise about it, and they’re going to say: my mother desperately needs this. Noah: Let’s finish on a high note. We’re both very enthusiastic about the Cubs this year. Cade Horton, the phenom everyone was so high on, got hurt after one game and they announced Tommy John surgery, out for the season. The team had been four and six, tight, underperforming. And then the day they announce the surgery, everybody just comes out loose. They win nine to two, then six to two, sixteen hits in the first game. I believe that was serendipity, a jolt that made people play grateful, play loose. What do you think? Lloyd: Let me tell you my true honest belief about my beloved Chicago Cubs. Noah: Mm-hmm. Lloyd: I believe every day, they will lose. Noah: (laughing) Really. Lloyd: Therefore, every victory is a gift, a wonderful upset. Noah: I think when they win, everything’s right with the world. When they lose, eh, it’s just a game. I’m going to think about something else. I think you’re messing around here. Lloyd: I’m telling you the truth. Noah: I think this podcast itself was a little serendipitous. We always say we’re going to do more episodes together. We only end up doing one or two a year. Today I didn’t have anyone else to interview. And we both started out kind of eh, and I think we’re ready to go kick some butt. Lloyd: Let’s do it. Question: What’s your move when you wake up feeling rubbish?

Chuck Garfien sits down with White Sox pitcher Mike Vasil for an honest and lighthearted conversation as he navigates the early stages of recovering from Tommy John surgery. Vasil shares his initial reaction to the diagnosis, how he's processing the setback mentally, and why it meant so much to hear his teammates want him around the team all season. He also gives a behind-the-scenes look at what his role will look like on game days, from hanging in the dugout to helping out in the bullpen (and even keeping the bullpen stocked with snacks). Vasil breaks down what Tommy John surgery actually entails, including some of the more eye-opening and hard-to-unsee details, while also reflecting on the growing trend of younger players undergoing the procedure. He discusses whether he is allowing himself to think ahead to his comeback and creatively compares his journey to a pivotal chapter in The Dark Knight Rises. Plus, Vasil talks about exploring new hobbies during recovery, including the possibility of stepping into the podcasting world himself and even joining “Dr. Chuck” once a month on the White Sox podcast.
