Enter the world of the knuckleball and its specialized lingo: drag crisis, loop de loop, and dreaded forward roll. The knuckleball pitch is dying out in baseball, but Chris Nowlin still teaches it and, importantly, still throws it with the lowest rotation on earth today. He discusses here how to throw it, why it's effective, and why it's so darn hard to throw consistently. He also offers guidance on identifying potential knuckleballers, strength training, arm protection, and being a big-league pitcher in general, along with a bit of life advice. We also discuss Matt Waldron of the Padres along with other knuckleballers: Tim Wakefield, Phil Niekro, RA Dickey, and Charlie Hough. And finally, Chris gives us some thoughts on the current approach to pitching in the MLB right now and where we might be headed.

Ben & Brent kick off the hour discussing the potential shape of the Toronto Blue Jays' pitching staff in September if Shane Bieber and Alek Manoah successfully return from Tommy John surgery. They are joined by Adnan Virk of MLB Network to explore Bieber's postseason potential and his competition among AL aces, as well as the NL West rivalry between the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers. The hour wraps up with an analysis of the benefits of acquiring Bieber early on MLB Deadline Day (23:21).The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.
The Cardinals made deadline noise, sending Ryan Helsley to the Mets and Erick Fedde to Atlanta, while Brendan Donovan and JoJo Romero continue to draw heavy interest. Sonny Gray is staying put, but Tekoah Roby is out with Tommy John surgery. The team has just four wins since the break and now sits 10 games back in the Central—so what should the rest of the season look like? We preview the upcoming road trip to San Diego and Los Angeles and ask if Ivan Herrera in the outfield makes any sense. Plus, a flurry of league trades, Bryce Harper goes off on Manfred, and we remember Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg.
Gerrit Cole is deep into the recovery process from Tommy John surgery, but he took time to chat with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz about the struggles — both physical and emotional — that he has experienced during this stage, and also the ways that he still tries to contribute to the 2025 Yankees' World Series goals. Then, YES Network's Meredith Marakovits stops by to chat about Cole, the trade deadline and much more Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The Nationals face a pivotal decision with MacKenzie Gore, their best pitcher and most valuable trade chip. With two more years of team control and a dominant season on the mound, Gore's trade value is sky-high. Interim GM Mike DeBartolo must weigh whether dealing Gore now — at his peak value — is smarter for a franchise still years away from contention. Given that Gore, like Juan Soto before him, is unlikely to sign long-term, the Nats could follow a familiar pattern: sell high to accelerate the rebuild. Meanwhile, the team suffered a major blow with top pitching prospect Travis Sykora requiring Tommy John surgery, setting back his development until 2026. It's another setback for a team already dealing with pitching injuries to Cade Cavalli and Jarlin Susana. Veteran Michael Soroka could be the likeliest player dealt by Thursday's deadline, and while Gore may stay put for now, the front office's actions this week will shape the Nationals' next phase of rebuilding.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Certain players elicit certain emotions and memories. Shohei Ohtani is at the top of that list. Bradfo gets a chance to sit down with Red Sox reliever Chris Murphy less than 24 hours after he secured a tent-pole moment in his young career by striking out Ohtani in a key spot Friday night. Considering how far Murphy has come after undergoing Tommy John surgery, the significance of the at-bat wasn't lost on the lefty. He explains his thoughts, emotions, and execution in the showdown, while going on to talk about what striking out one of his heroes, Bryce Harper, also meant. There is also a lot of good inside baseball talk regarding what pitching measurements are actually important.

The pitchers with the most wins in the 1970's is a grocery list of Hall of Famers. Gaylord, Carlton, Fergie & Catfish to name just a few… but on the cover of Sports Illustrated July 21, 1975 were two other future Hall of Famers who SI called Baseball's Toughest Pitchers: Tom Seaver and Jim Palmer. After they each won the Cy Young Award in 1973, both of these aces suffered through injury-plagued, down seasons in 1974. Palmer was 7-12 in 26 starts while Tom Terrific was 11-11 while throwing the fewest innings of his then 8-year career. Healthy again in '75, the two #1's were back at the top of their games… and both would go on to win the Cy Young again in 75, the 3rd for Seaver and the 2nd for Palmer who would match Seaver with his 3rd a year later. Palmer would end the decade with 186 wins, the most in the 70's while Seaver would finish tied for 3rd with 178. They were the best of the best and cementing a resume that would end with both of them in Cooperstown. Mike Torrez was every bit as tough as the two cover guys. Starting his career with the Cardinals, Torrez came into his own after he was dealt to Montreal in 1971. He won 16 games for the Expos in '72 and another 15 in '74… but it was in 1975 when it all came together for the winningest Mexican pitcher of all-time. Teaming with Palmer, Torrez had a sensational season going 20-9 with a 3.06 ERA over 270 innings of work. He started 36 games and completed 16 of them. It would be his only season in Baltimore but it was one to remember for the righty from Topeka, Kansas. A year later he won 16 games in Oakland before another sensational season in New York with the Yankees. After a regular season that saw Torrez win 17 games, 14 of them in pinstripes, Torrez had an October to remember. And if it weren't for a historic performance from Mr. October himself, more would remember how brilliant Torrez was in the Yankees World Series win over the Dodgers. With the series tied at 1-1 heading to Los Angles, Torrez matched up against Tommy John, Torrez went the distance in a 5-3 win over L.A. striking out 9. Just 4 days later, Torrez got the start again and behind Reggie Jackson's 3 home runs, and another complete game win out of Torrez, the Yankees were champions again… their first title since 1962. Reggie was the MVP of the series but Torrez could have easily won that with his 2 CG wins over Tommy Lasorda's club. From there, this tough hombre would go to Boston where he would win more games in his career than any other club in his big league career before ending his 18 year career with Tom Seaver and the Mets and then 2 games with the A's in 1984. But it was the 70's where he was one of the best, winning 134 games that decade, 15th most in all of baseball, and certainly proving he was one of the toughest pitchers in the game. Looking back on his career, Torrez tells us that Bob Gibson had an integral part in his success, teaching him how to throw his famous slider. Torrez bookends that by sharing how he went to bat for a young Mets pitcher to make the club out of Spring Training, even though it might mean the end of his time in the majors. Torrez told the GM, you gotta let this kid make the team… this kid is ready. This kid was Doc Gooden. Torrez talks about both Palmer and Seaver as pitchers… about Weaver and Martin as managers. About winning those two games with the Yankees in the Series… and about losing to the Yanks a year later when Bucky Dent hit one over the wall in Game 163. The ups, the downs, the highs and the lows… Torrez went through it all, and tells us all about them… on the Past Our Prime podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The Washington Nationals were rocked early in Sunday's loss to the Padres, with MacKenzie Gore surrendering eight runs in just 2.1 innings, including a grand slam to Xander Bogaerts. It was Gore's worst outing of the year, and a sharp contrast to his All-Star form, with his ERA ballooning from 3.02 to 3.59. While Nick Pivetta dominated the Nats again, the lone offensive bright spot came from Riley Adams' solo homer and James Wood snapping an 0-for-20 slump. On the bright side, Rutledge, Lara, and Henry covered nearly seven innings in relief without allowing a run. Off the field, the Nationals signed No. 1 overall pick Eli Willits for $8.2M and plan to fast-track his development. Cade Cavalli is also nearing a return to the majors as he builds consistency post–Tommy John surgery. With the trade deadline looming, interim GM Mike DeBartolo hinted at dealing veterans like Soroka and Finnegan while protecting core pieces like Gore, Abrams, Wood, and Crews. The Nationals may be struggling now, but their youth movement is gaining real momentum.
Mets reliever Brooks Raley has been has been out since early in the 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery, but yesterday he was finally activated from the IL. Raley speaks with Pat McCarthy ahead of today's game.
From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): There are so many pitchers having to endure Tommy John surgery and all the uncertainty that comes with it. That's why Bradfo's conversation with Royals starter Kris Bubic is so impactful. The two talk about how Bubic celebrated his first anniversary of coming back from TJ surgery by living the life of an All-Star and the path that it took to get to that point (which includes going from reliever to lockdown starter). It's some great inspiration for any injured player wondering if there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

The Mets press conference on July 18, 2025, featured updates from manager Carlos Mendoza on multiple injured players, bullpen usage, rotation plans, and progress at Triple-A. Mendoza provided timelines for Jesse Winker and Starling Marte, confirmed Max Kranick will undergo Tommy John surgery, and commented on the roles of Ronny Mauricio and Francisco Alvarez. He also discussed lineup and rotation strategy, including Kodai Senga's scheduling and Sean Manaea's pitch count. Former manager Terry Collins then took questions reflecting on his time managing David Wright, sharing heartfelt stories about Wright's leadership, return from injury, and impact on the clubhouse, ahead of Wright's number retirement ceremony. Carlos Mendoza portion: 00:00 – “What does it mean to you as a manager to have a bona fide lefty that's established back there now?” 00:51 – “How close are Winker and Marte to returning?” 01:13 – “Winker… is there anything additional going on as far as his side?” 01:37 – “Is Raley just a full go? Are there any restrictions?” 02:15 – “Had you heard back about Max Kranick, whether he's getting Tommy John surgery?” 02:33 – “How much of a blow is this for him?” 03:10 – “Has [Ronny] Mauricio resumed running or baseball activity?” 03:31 – “You have Mauricio in the lineup against a lefty today. What have you seen from that side of the plate?” 04:03 – “What else do you guys want to see from Alvarez at Syracuse before he gets back here?” 05:08 – “What have you seen from [player in] the two-hole the last three, four games?” 05:47 – “What was the thinking behind pushing Senga back into the next series?” 06:22 – “So within that big picture, is it Manaea going Wednesday before the off day?” 06:53 – “On a personal level, how much are you looking forward to tomorrow with the David Wright ceremony?” 07:17 – “Will Manaea and others start to lengthen out their pitch counts over the next few starts?” Terry Collins portion: 08:25 – “When you think back on your time managing, if you could point to one thing that sticks out, what would that be?” 09:19 – “Was there ever a time you were mad at him or upset with him?” 11:03 – “Where do you feel David Wright made his biggest impact in the clubhouse?” 12:30 – “Can you reflect on the emotions you felt when David hit that home run in Philadelphia after his return?” 13:33 – “What was the World Series run like with him? How important was it to have him along for that?” 14:25 – “What was it about him that players gravitated to so much?” 15:22 – “What was it like meeting him for the first time, and the genesis of him becoming captain?” Learn more about your ad choices.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Now that the All-Star festivities and Draft are in the rearview mirror, we are now diving head-first into the trade deadline. It's why it was a perfect time for Bradfo to catch up with the Marlins Kyle Stowers, who lived the life of a prospect switching teams at the Deadline thanks to the Orioles deal with Miami. (Spoiler: It has worked out well for Stowers and the Marlins.) We don't stop there. Bradfo also talks with the Tigers Zach McKinstry, another player who has experienced being traded, landing in his perfect spot.

Send us a textWhat's destroying young pitchers' arms across America? The answer might be right there on the radar gun. In this eye-opening episode, Coach Ken Carpenter tackles the alarming rise in serious arm injuries among youth and high school pitchers. Drawing from conversations with experts like Dr. Tom House and his own 27 years of coaching experience, Ken explores how the relentless pursuit of velocity—"chasing 90"—combined with year-round pitching schedules and early sport specialization is creating an epidemic of torn UCLs and Tommy John surgeries in teenagers.Remember when kids threw footballs, rocks, and wiffle balls in the backyard? When baseball ended in summer, making way for football and basketball seasons? That natural athletic versatility created what Dr. House calls "neuroplasticity"—more neural pathways between brain and muscles that developed more complete, durable athletes. Today's young pitchers are missing that foundation, instead throwing max effort at showcases year-round without adequate rest or varied movement patterns.The statistics are sobering: over 50% of Tommy John surgeries now happen to teenagers. As Coach Carpenter's pitching coach once said, "there's only so many bullets available to a pitcher," and today's young athletes are using them up before college. This episode challenges coaches, parents and players to reconsider their priorities: developing pitchers who can locate, change speeds, and maintain durability rather than just lighting up radar guns. After all, what good is throwing 90 mph in high school if your arm breaks down at 19?Want to share your coaching perspective or story?

Suarez?), and consider the risk/reward of short-term pitching rentals like Zac Gallen or Freddy Peralta.

Sign up for the Derek Thompson newsletter. In Game 7 of this year's NBA Finals, Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton tore his Achilles in the first quarter while attempting to drive to the basket on an injured calf. It was the third major Achilles injury of the 2025 NBA playoffs. Curiously, Achilles tears are typically an older-dude injury, as they're most common in middle-aged men, according to a 2018 study published in the Journal of Biomechanics. So the sudden clustering of this injury among star athletes in their prime has inspired a lot of head-scratching among NBA fans and even the league itself. “We had already convened a panel of experts before Tyrese's most recent Achilles rupture,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said. When you zoom out from basketball and consider the broader landscape of sports, the injury surge seems quite real. In baseball, we've seen a huge increase in the so-called "Tommy John surgery," which repairs a torn UCL in a pitcher's elbow. In soccer, ACL injuries have been rising, particularly in women's soccer. And that's before we get to the huge amount of media attention that's been paid to concussions in football. What's going on here? Vern Gambetta, a conditioning coach, trainer, and adviser to professional soccer, baseball, basketball, and Olympics teams, explains why major injuries might be surging across sports—and what it tells us about the risks of pushing the human body to its physical limit.

The conversation then takes a wild turn with talk about the UFC potentially heading to the White House, followed by early thoughts and hype around the newly announced EA Sports College Football 26 video game. Josh Pate makes it clear he’s fully on board the Nebraska train, while the boys dub Notre Dame “Legacy U” and stir up a spirited debate between Cam Newton and Jalen Hurts. Then, the main event begins as 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy joins the pod. He shares his journey from being recruited to Iowa State to his unforgettable NFL Draft experience. The boys officially declare October as “Brocktober” while Brock reflects on his rookie year in San Francisco, including his legendary bond with Trent Williams—who he hilariously refers to as his “binkie.” He opens up about taking over the Niners starting job from Trey Lance, undergoing Tommy John surgery, and the emotional rollercoaster of the NFC Championship game. Brock also discusses what it was like to lose Deebo Samuel mid-season, reacts to an “anonymous” quote from Taylor saying he's not the guy, and gives a behind-the-scenes look at Super Bowl week. The conversation closes with a look back at the struggles of last season and what he expects from this upcoming year with the Niners roster full of Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk, and Nick Bosa under head coach Kyle Shanahan. As always, the biggest of hugs and the most tiny kisses. Enjoy!

Brandon Woodruff looked great in this return. The Dodgers recalled Emmet Sheehan and the Rays recalled Joe Boyle. Who to add between the two? It looks like Clarke Schmidt needs Tommy John surgery.

It's Pop Culture Thursday on The JTrain Podcast, and Jared is rifling through the latest page six drama, starting with Travis Kelce's barely-visible tour book and how one unhinged Swiftie turned it into breaking news. Then, Jared unpacks the Billy Ray Cyrus family feud: his son Trace publicly calls him “evil” for skipping Mammy's funeral (yes, Mammy), while Elizabeth Hurley posts naked birthday pics celebrating their love. We also cover Orlando Bloom bringing his emotional support dog to Fallon amid Katy Perry breakup rumors, and the Beckham family's latest no-contact saga. Plus: Aaron Rodgers' smug mystery marriage, Bella Hadid's ghosting immunity, and MrBeast's $500,000 Disneyland date. This episode is packed with rants, PR theories, and some light judgment of people who use the term “Mammy” in public. Jared reads, reacts, and keeps the gossip unreasonably honest.Support the show and get 25% off your 1 st Tommy John order with promo code FEATHER at https://www.tommyjohn.com/feather

It's Chit Chat Wednesday on The JTrain Podcast, and Jared sits down with friend and professional organizer-to-the-stars, Summer Rose of Star Organizers. Fresh off helping Jared with his move to Delray Beach, Summer shares her secrets for stress-free moving, from coordinating junk removal to making clutter disappear like magic. They dive into emotional attachments to objects, why people hold onto things they shouldn't (looking at you, signed jersey), and how decluttering can be deeply liberating. Summer also spills on the craziest move she's ever managed, let's say it involves a rogue moving truck and a surprise detour to Vegas. Plus, they explore how her job affects dating, what she's learned about people through their possessions, and the social performance of saying “moving is expensive.” It's hilarious, insightful, and oddly motivating. Whether you've moved recently or are tripping over boxes from 2019, this episode is a must-listen!!Support the podcast by supporting our sponsors!Support the show and get 25% off your 1 st Tommy John order with promo code FEATHER at https://www.tommyjohn.com/feather
Today's word of the day is ‘answer' as in response as in Thunder as in NBA Finals as in Pacers as in SGA. Oklahoma City rolled in Game 2 like everyone thought they would. Heartbreak in Game 1, but this team knows how to respond. How about the NBA putting the logo on the court digitally? Were you a fan of that? (11:00) Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner played one of the best tennis matches you'll ever see in the French Open final. Amazing tennis. What a comeback. Couldn't believe my eyes. On the opposite side we have Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka. Gauff won her second Grand Slam. Sabalenka won the first set and then was outplayed. After the match… sore loser times a million. (30:00) Review: Pee Wee as Himself (34:10) Corbin Burnes is done for the season. Another pitcher needing Tommy John. Here we go again. (44:00) I have never seen what happened to Ryan Weathers happen before. Drilled in the head by a throw to 2nd in a warmup. And he stayed in the game after being flat on the field. What? Are the Marlins serious? (49:00) NPPOD. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Nats got a taste of their own recent medicine as Texas blanked them 5-0 on Saturday afternoon on South Capitol Street. Al & Mark run through some of the recent offensive slumps as the team has only scored nine runs in their past six games. (05:00) Nathaniel Lowe went 1 for 3 in facing his former team. Lowe's OPS is a troubling .650, much lower than when it was .785 at the end of April. His last homer came on May 16th in Baltimore.(09:45) Jacob deGrom was dominant on Saturday in seven shutout frames and looked like the pitcher we remember from the Mets. The two-time Cy Young winner has undergone a pair of Tommy John surgeries.(15:40) Mitchell Parker continued his trend of struggling in the 1st inning, but then settled in from there. Hear what Davey Martinez said when asked by Mark about the possibility of using an "Opener".(24:00) It was not Cole Henry's day as he issued three walks and a balk. Eduardo Salazar has the roughest afternoon as he allowed three runs in the top of the 8th to let the game get out of reach.
Femi Abebefe & Jared Smith react to Corbin Burnes being ruled out for the season with Tommy John surgery. Plus, the guys talk College World Series & RBC Canadian Open.
