For the final installment of a state-championship series on The FInal Score podcast, Brunswick baseball coach Roger Dawson, senior pitcher Tyler Lowery and senior right fielder Payden McDonald are this week's guests. They guys discuss the Railroaders' 22-2-1 state championship season with host Greg Swatek. They talk about the team's 4-1 victory over Patterson Mill in the Class 1A championship game and everything that led up to it. Lowery talks about being the starting pitcher in the state final and how he felt coming out of the game with one out to go because he hit the designated pitch count of 105. McDonald talks about the bad rap that right fielders get defensively and how he was able to contribute so much to the Railroaders this season. And Dawson explains why he felt they were the best 1A team in the state at the start of the season and some of the memorable moments along the way, including picking up his 400th career win in his 32 seasons at Brunswick's coach. Prior to that conversation, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss developments on the county baseball scene, including the opportunity he had to cover Japanese top prospect Rintaro Sasaki of the Trenton Thunder recently at the Frederick Keys' home opener.

Full Hour | Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by teasing what's coming up on today's show, telling that a new critic will be joining to break down what's coming up in the world of television and film. Then, Giordano notes that the General Manager of the Trenton Thunder will join around 2PM to discuss their decision to offer Narcan as a promotional giveaway. Then, Dom hops into a conversation about the news centered on the unprecedented FBI raid of former President Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago compound, offering his opinion on a Washington Post report that the documents in Trump's possession were related to nuclear materials. After that, Dom tells of a new edict set forth by a national teacher's organization that suggests teachers hide gender identity from parents. (Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images)
Full Hour | In today's third hour, Dom welcomes in Jeff Hurley, General Manager of the Trenton Thunder, onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss a promotional giveaway of Narcan, a first in the country, at an upcoming baseball game. First, though, Dom asks Jeff for some history of the franchise, with Hurley revealing ties to the Yankees and Red Sox and appearances by Alex Rodriguez and Nomar Garciaparra. Then, Giordano hops into a conversation centered on the controversial giveaway, with Hurley providing more information about it, telling that it's not a standard giveaway and fans will have to request the Narcan. Hurley notes the importance of addiction awareness, telling of the many Trentonians who have been affected by addiction. Then, Giordano returns to a conversation centered on national politics, taking calls from listeners offering their opinion on the Washington Post report that Trump took documents relating to nuclear secrets.

Full Hour | In today's third hour, Dom leads off the Dom Giordano Program by telling about a ridiculous giveaway by the Trenton Thunder, who have decided to offer free Narcan for attendees of an upcoming game. Then, Giordano and Producer Dan enter into a discussion centered around student loans and college attendance, with Dom reporting a decrease in enrollment, asking whether the narrative around student loans and high tuition prices have deterred some from secondary education. This leads Dom to tell about an incident playing out with Georgetown University, in which a father was charged for falsifying information in an effort to gain admission for his daughter. Then, after getting word of a news conference by the Department of Justice, Dom takes Attorney General Merrick Garland as he answers questions related to the FBI raid of Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago.

Jeff Hurley, GM and president of the Trenton Thunder, joins us for this week's episode. We talk about the upcoming MLB Draft season, what's new at the ballpark, and of course pork roll. It's all that and much more on this week's episode.

You'll meet Chase, nicknamed That Golden Thunder, and his son Derby for “Homerun Derby.” and their baseball-loving offspring. We're fully immersed in the baseball season here at our house so I loved researching this one.

Two Guys from New Jersey have a conversation about pork roll but then it leads to further discussions on other items such as cheesesteaks, basketball, hockey, and diners. This is not your normal baseball podcast, but then again we give props to the Trenton Thunder and Jersey Shore BlueClaws for promoting pork roll at their ballparks to thousands of people each season.

Tommy McCarthy was almost literally born into baseball. His father, Tom, has been a Phillies announcer since 2001 (with a couple of years spent broadcasting the Mets) and when Tommy was born, his father was the do-all voice of the Trenton Thunder working his way up to the big leagues. So Tommy was literally around the field from his earliest moments. It's become quite a baseball life - Tommy worked his way into a fine baseball career - NJAC Player of the Year and two-time conference champ at TCNJ and now a professional journey that has taken him to Gary, Indiana, and the American Association. But there's much more and we hit so many great baseball topics on today's JBS - life in indy ball, life on the "inside" watching his beloved Phils (who WERE his favorites? when did he get to be batboy?), his glove restoration side hustle, love of Chic-Fil-A, handling adversity and turning out better for it, the importance of finding the right FIT with college to become the best version of yourself. Then there's McCarthy's other gig - helping his father call NFL and major college basketball games for CBS. Needless to say, watch today's JBS for some awesome local and national baseball/sports content.

SUBSCRIBE - youtube.com/NJCollegeBaseballNation TCNJ graduate student Chris Cote has been one of our favorites for quite some time. From playing JV as a junior at Steinert, to waiting until the very last second to get the opportunity to play college baseball at Mercer to a Summer and Fall 2020 Sandlot Legend to becoming a two-year captain at TCNJ, Chris has handled it all by working hard, being incredibly coachable and versatile, and being one of the ultimate team players. He got an incredible opportunity at the end of the summer - the opportunity to spend the last two weeks of the season with the Trenton Thunder in the MLB Draft League - sharing the same clubhouse once used by guys like Derek Jeter, Aaron Judge, and many more Yankees greats. Best of all, Chris is using the extra COVID year to graduate with a Master's in Marketing from one of the top schools in the state! Chris joins us for a great JBS - gives us the scoop on some awesome Draft League experiences and offers AMAZING advice for our Uncommitted guys who are starting to question their worth - you have to see this!

Subscribe - youtube.com/NJCollegeBaseballNation Follow - instagram.com/NJ_collegebaseballnation, www.trentonthunder.com You'd understand if Trenton Thunder GM Jeff Hurley needed a breather. But he won't take one. In a crazy 11-month span the Trenton Thunder - Lost the AA Yankees affiliated team to Somerset, began preparations to be part of the inaugural MLB Draft League, found out the AAA Toronto Blue Jays needed a home for most of 2021 for COVID-related reasons, put together an entirely new plan to host the Blue Jays squad, ran both the minor-league and Draft League teams simultaneously (the Draft League played at Rider), saw the AAA team move back to Buffalo at the start of August, and brought the draft leaguers back to Trenton to finish the season. I'm tired just from typing all that. But Hurley continued - as the Thunder GM does his part to keep baseball alive in the county where he grew up and starred (Steinert HS state champ, Hamilton Post 31 Legion World Series). We talk to Hurley (one of only 2 Mercer County Pitchers to win a Legion World Series game since 1948) about all that and more on this edition of CLEAN LEATHER! And yes, we talk about bat dogs as well!

Now more than ever, it is important for Certified Athletic Trainers to promote wellness and injury/illness risk abatement in our communities. This is a powerful way to showcase our expertise in a way that educates, outside of the normal "setting" we are typically seen in. Doing so increases brand awareness of our profession, our employer, and ourselves and helps to showcase the value you bring as an AT. A key way to do this is via interprofessional PR collaboration on media platforms such as social media videos, podcasts, radio interviews, and tv interviews. This throwback episode serves as a thought-provoking example of how Steven Weintraub, DO and I collaborated for the RWJBarnabas Health "RWJ Health Talk" show. This audio was taken from our January 2018 TV interview (media is property of www.rwjbh.org). Steven Weintraub, DO: Dr. Weintraub is a board-certified physician specializing in sports medicine. He completed medical school at New York College of Osteopathic Medicine, then completed a family practice residency at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS), followed by a fellowship in sports medicine at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. Dr. Weintraub is a clinical assistant professor at RWJMS and maintains memberships in the New Jersey Osteopathic Society, the American College of Sports Medicine, the American Medical Society of Sports Medicine, and the American Academy of Family Physicians. He serves as a team physician for local schools, including Freehold Regional Schools, Howell High School, Freehold Township High School, Colts Neck High School, and Trenton Thunder. He is the consulting sports medicine physician for Monroe High School and St. John Vianney High School.

In his sixth season with the Trenton Thunder- and second as the lead broadcaster for the team- Jon Mozes got to experience an Eastern League championship with the Yankees Double-A affiliate this past season. The year wrapped up with a series sweep over the Reading Fightin' Phils in the Eastern Division Championship Series, before the Thunder used a slew of MLB rehabbers to take the EL Championship from the Bowie Baysox in four games. In our conversation we talk to him about calling the final out and what it means to get to be part of such a special run over five-plus months, beginning in April and culminating in September. He also discusses the bounceback season by Eastern League MVP, Chris Gittens, plus the countless impressive performances by pitchers on the Thunder this season including Deivi Garcia, Albert Abreu and Nick Nelson.

Ryan Bollinger hat sich einen Lebenstraum erfüllt. Er hat den Sprung in die MLB geschafft, die US-amerikanische Baseball-Profiliga. Genau heute vor einem Jahr stand er noch im Kader der München-Haar Disciples und sammelte Strikeouts wie andere Leute Briefmarken. Dann kam der Sprung nach Australien zu den Brisbane Bandits, für die er im Winter pitchte. In Australien wurde dann auch seine Vertragsunterschrift bei den New York Yankees publik. Ein Riesensprung für Bollinger, der 2009 noch als Feldspieler gedraftet worden war. Dass er jetzt für einen Tag in den Majors dabei war, verdankt Bollinger auch seinen starken Leistungen als Starting Pitcher bei den Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Railriders und bei Trenton Thunder, den beiden Farmteams der Yankees. So wurde er als 25. Spieler für das Spiel bei den Texas Rangers hochgezogen. Er spielte dort nicht, wurde auch gleich wieder zu den Trenton Thunder geschickt, aber der Fuß scheint in der Tür zu sein. Andreas Thies und Tim Collins (eurobaseballtv.com) sprechen über den rasanten Weg, den Bollinger in den letzten 12 Monaten gegangen ist. Außerdem werfen sie einen Blick voraus auf das Wochenende in der Baseball-Bundesliga. Dort stehen ...
Ryan Bollinger hat sich einen Lebenstraum erfüllt. Er hat den Sprung in die MLB geschafft, die US-amerikanische Baseball-Profiliga.

So wurde er als 25. Spieler für das Spiel bei den Texas Rangers hochgezogen. Er spielte dort nicht, wurde auch gleich wieder zu den Trenton Thunder geschickt, aber der Fuß scheint in der Tür zu sein. Andreas Thies und Tim Collins (eurobaseballtv.com) sprechen über den rasanten Weg, den Bollinger in den letzten 12 Monaten gegangen ist. Außerdem werfen sie einen Blick voraus auf das Wochenende in der Baseball-Bundesliga. Dort stehen Spitzenspiele an, wenn die Bonn Capitals auf die Solingen Alligators sowie die Mainz Athletics auf die Buchbinder Legionäre Regensburg treffen.
Die Baseball-Bundesliga hat ein pickepackevolles Wochenende mit vier Spielen für fast alle Teams hinter sich. Fast alle Serien wurden "back-to-back" gespielt, das heißt, dass beide Teams in 2 Spielen Heimrecht hatte. Das erforderte fürs Pitching einen enormen Aufwand und eine phantasievolle Einteilung des Pitching Staffs. Am besten kamen damit die Topteams der Liga klar. Die Heidenheim Heideköpfe zum Beispiel. Sie kassierten zwar auch viele Runs gegen die Mannheim Tornados in den vier Spielen, konnten selbst aber auch sehr mit der Offensive überzeugen. Besonders Simon Gühring und Gary Owens haben offensiv eine fantastische Saison. Gary Owens hatte am Ende fünf Homeruns nach vier Spielen zu Buche stehen. Kein Wunder, dass er von der Baseball Bundesliga zum Spieler der Woche gekürt wurde. Die Mannheim Tornados fanden sich nach den vier Niederlagen auf Platz 5 der Bundesliga Süd wieder. Die Konkurrenten um die ersten vier Plätze waren nicht untätig. Die Regensburg Legionäre gewannen ihre beiden Heimspiele gegen die Haar Disciples, die wiederum das "Nachholspiel", das in Haar wegen schlechter Sicht nicht fortgeführt werden konnte, für sich entschieden. Im Norden behielten die Bonn Capitals ihre weiße Weste, sie mussten sich allerdings sehr gegen die Cologne Cardinals strecken, die den Bonnern alles abverlangten. Die Dohren Wild Farmers grüßen derweil nach vier Siegen hintereinander von Tabellenplatz 2. Tim Collins von eurobaseballtv.com und Andreas Thies schauen auf alle Spiele und werfen dann noch einen Blick nach Übersee, wo Ryan Bollinger, letztes Jahr noch für die Haar Disciples aktiv, in der Double A bei Trenton Thunder für Furore sorgt.

New Hampshire is known for its mountain views, but it’s got another less family-friendly attraction- cheap liquor. Out-of-staters have been skirting the legal limits of what you can buy at state-owned liquor stores, but the government is not so keen to investigate. And while we try to stay warm, we hear about a program that helps Connecticut residents keep the drafts out, and visit a company in Maine that builds some of the most efficient homes on the market. Plus, we parse what New England communities ask from their local baseball teams – and what the owners of those teams are asking from taxpayers in two struggling cities. The Hartford Yard Goats play the Trenton Thunder at Dunkin Donuts Park, Hartford, Connecticut, in July 2017. (Jesse Douglas/CC) The Hennessy State A New Hampshire State Liquor outlet near the state border on Interstate 93. (NHPR file photo). In the absence of an income or sales tax, New Hampshire uses the lure of cheap liquor to help balance the books. The state owns and operates about 80 retail liquor stores – nearly every liquor store in the state. Many of these low-cost, high volume outlets are strategically located on the state's southern border, some at highway rest stops. Recently, out-of-staters have been arrested for cash transactions that skirt legal limits, and one elected official from New Hampshire is sounding the alarm. The liquor at the center of his concerns is Hennessy cognac. New Hampshire Public Radio's Todd Bookman is part of a reporting team that has been looking into this story. And he says its not the first time the issue has surfaced in the state. All About Efficiency As New England's aging fleet of oil and nuclear plants retire, one way to make up for lost energy is to build more generation: new solar panels or wind turbines. But before we add to the grid, there is a simpler way to lower emissions –improve the energy efficiency of homes. As Connecticut Public Radio's Patrick Skahill reports, a home energy audit can help with that by sealing up houses from wind and helping to lower heating bills. But as state budgets tighten, some of those programs are going away. A wall section is lowered by a crane on to the foundation of a “passive house” manufactured by the Maine company Ecocor. (Jon Kalish/NEXT) European architects and house builders have taken the lead in building the healthiest and most energy efficient homes. They are part of the so-called passive house movement, which began in the early 1990’s in response to high energy costs. In the last ten years passive homes have been popping up in the United States. The leading builder of these homes, a company called Ecocor, is based in rural Maine. Independent producer Jon Kalish has more. Root for the Home Team Built in the 1940s, McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket is the home of the PawSox, a farm team for the Boston Red Sox. The team is asking for public money to build a new stadium in downtown Pawtucket. (Elisabeth Harrison/RIPR) Minor league baseball is booming across America. It's family-friendly, relatively inexpensive, and it brings the sport to small and mid-sized cities that don't have major league baseball. Pawtucket, Rhode Island has been home to minor league baseball since the early 1970s, and the city has had a special kind of relationship with its team ever since. It doesn't hurt that the team- the Pawtucket Red Sox- is affiliated with the Boston Red Sox, located just an hour up the highway. Red Sox legends like Jim Rice, Wade Boggs and Roger Clemens all played for the team lovingly known as the “PawSox” at old McCoy Stadium. But now team officials say they need a new stadium. It's launched a political battle over public funding for a private stadium, and brought back some bad feelings left from another baseball-related deal in Rhode Island's recent past. Rhode Island Public Radio political reporter Ian Donnis brings us the latest on this political fight over a cherished civic institution. Areas of land the city of Hartford, Connecticut, is looking to develop around the minor league baseball stadium. (Courtesy: City of Hartford) The city of Hartford already built a brand-new minor league ballpark to lure a minor league team from nearby New Britain, Connecticut. Much like in Pawtucket, the plan is to build residential and retail developments near the park. The surrounding North End neighborhood currently has a lot of vacant lots and boarded-up buildings. And while the Hartford Yard Goats played their first season at the ballpark last year, the adjacent developments have yet to begin. Hartford residents are thinking about what should come next, what the area needs, and what might be lost. New England Public Radio's Heather Brandon reports. Tom and Jean Yawkey’s initials depicted in Morse code line the white stripes separating the American League scores on the Green Monster at Fenway Park. (Eric Kirby/Flickr) And this week, New England’s only major league baseball team is reckoning with its past…sort of. Last week, the Red Sox filed a petition with the City of Boston to change the name of the street that Fenway Park sits on. That street is named Yawkey Way after Tom Yawkey, who became the last major league team owner to hire a black player in 1959. The petition would return the street to its original name – Jersey Street. But as WBUR’s Ally Jarmanning reports, there’s still a visible reminder of Tom Yawkey’s legacy at Fenway. Confronting Hate on Campus University of Vermont students walked out of class in February 2018, demanding the school do more to address racial justice and inequity on the Burlington campus. (Liam Elder-Connors/VPR) It seems every few weeks there is a hate crime reported on a college campus in New England. The groups that keep track of these incidents say there is, in fact, a marked increase in the number of racist slurs found scrawled on campus walls and an increase in white supremacist group activity. As New England Public Radio’s Jill Kaufman reports, protests are also on the rise, as students demand their schools and classmates pay more attention to why hate has come to campus. Wild Women Julia Wilcox and Claire Rouge tend to a fire they made during BOW’s winter survival skills class. Do you have what it takes to be an outdoors-woman?

Ep. 25 — Alex and Bobby kick off the Slow Offseason Pod with a reminiscence on the life and legacy of Trenton Thunder bat dog Home Run Derby, then discuss some recent signs of life on the lukewarm stove, including whether we should give the Astros the World Series trophy now and if the Mets actually have a plan for this year. They deliver a scouting report on Rafael Palmeiro’s batting practice video, and give 50 Cent his due as he attempts to make his own comeback to the mound. They round things out with a look ahead to 2018 and make predictions on what the worst takes will be this year — because there’s sure to be no shortage.

Stand back everyone and hold our beer - we're going for a shorter show today! (Suspect Denny might need a temporary break from editing or something) We do the feedback circuit, including a visit to the Correctional Department of Corrections, and then hit the pub for our recollections of Session Beer Day, some of our favorite April Fool's pranks from brewers (including one that wasn't actually a prank) and the upcoming Big Brew In the lab, we finally have our results in from our BrewTan B experiment that we started last year. What do the guys make of the results and we talk with Joe Formanek of Anjinomoto about what they mean. Then in the Lounge we actually visit a question that came in from a listener about her challenges making truly gluten free beer. Since neither of us are gluten free experts, we rope in an actual expert - James Neumeister of Portland's Ground Breaker Brewery, a gluten free brewery. Finally we tackle questions we can answer. Drop a quick tip on ya and explore one reason Drew would have something positive to say about the New York Yankees. (No, hell has not frozen over and yes, it involves dogs.)
