RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot dive into the growing obsession surrounding Mariners prospects Cade Anderson and Colt Emerson, debating the impossible question every fan wrestles with: when is a young star actually "ready"? Mitch argues the bigger story right now might be the excitement around the kids in the minors rather than the inconsistent big-league club itself. The Mariners No-Table crew reacts to Seattle wasting another opportunity to gain ground in the AL West after dropping a series to the White Sox, with the conversation centering on Cal Raleigh's brutal slump, a lineup that can't hit with runners in scoring position, and whether the offense is fundamentally flawed. Joe Doyle questions whether Rob Refsnyder's roster spot is already in jeopardy, while Brady Farkas warns the team is running out of time to keep calling these stretches "frustrating." Christian Caple joins Mitch to break down the strange reality of opening the season with the Apple Cup, why the Demond Jr. Williams NIL saga probably won't matter unless he struggles, and whether fans are already primed to overreact to every interception. They also dig into Washington's biggest roster questions — especially at running back after Adam Mohammed's departure — plus why Jedd Fisch is betting heavily on young talent instead of portal mercenaries. Derek Berg joins Mitch to talk about the long, winding golf journey that finally landed him in the PGA Championship at age 44 — from getting dropped off at Carnation Golf Course as a kid to grinding through mini tours, teaching lessons, and surviving years of close calls at the PGA Professional Championship. It's a candid, emotional conversation about chasing a dream long after most people would've quit.

BREAKING NEWS AT ONELEGUPALEX MEDIA: LI DUCKS SIGN TREVOR BAUER 4-2-26
Today's show highlights the Mets' offensive woes and the Yankees home opener, followed by audio of Tiger Woods' arrest and scores from the Rangers, Devils, and Rutgers. We talk Yankees pitching dominance, which local athletes are allowed to be elitist, and Frank the Tank's meltdown after another Mets loss in San Francisco. We then cover Trevor Bauer joining the Long Island Ducks, vintage Eddie Coleman audio, and Dan Hurley's "chest bump" explanation for his referee confrontation. Also, Boomer's holiday sports minute nostalgia, Ann Liguori's crossword appearance, Austin Reaves' fan incident, and a look back at an odd term for "Moment of the Day."
Trevor Bauer signs with the Long Island Ducks, sparking a discussion on his MLB exit and Boomer's suspicion that the story doesn't add up. C-Lo with another Mets loss in San Francisco defined by offensive struggles, Carlos Mendoza's reaction, and David Peterson's rough night. Also, vintage audio of Eddie Coleman's frustration with bickering Mets/Yanks fans, Jack Hughes' big performance in a Devils win, and Dan Hurley's "chest bump" explanation for a referee confrontation.
Could he play in the big leagues again?
The A-Team is back for Episode 138 of Unsportsmanlike Conduct as Farace and Tim hold it down, with Anthony officially in the mix as well — which means things will stay on track… until they don't. This is one of those weeks where the sports world didn't explode, but everything is quietly building toward something bigger, and those are usually the weeks where the best arguments happen.Naturally, we start in the NFL, where the Raiders managed to confuse everybody by signing Kirk Cousins while also holding the No. 1 overall pick. So now they've got a veteran quarterback and the top selection in the draft, which sounds like a plan until you try to figure out what the plan actually is. Are they trying to compete now? Draft their future? Do both at the same time? Even Mark Davis basically admitted they've been in this position before and it didn't go great, so this feels like one of those moves that everyone talks themselves into… right up until it blows up.From there, the focus shifts to Philadelphia, where the Eagles are sitting at a real crossroads with Jalen Hurts. The offense stalled at times last season, the passing game didn't look right, and A.J. Brown's frustration wasn't exactly subtle. Now the question is whether this is just a bump in the road or the beginning of something bigger, because in the NFL, tension like that doesn't just disappear — it usually gets louder.The league also added some off-field headlines, including Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua stepping away for rehab ahead of OTAs. It's being framed as personal growth, which is great — but from a football standpoint, it still leaves a pretty big question mark for a team that relies on him heavily.Over in the NBA, LeBron casually joked that he might've forced his way out of Memphis if they had landed the No. 1 pick back in 2003, which is funny until you realize that today, that wouldn't even be shocking. At the same time, Victor Wembanyama continues to look like something straight out of a video game, stacking dominant performances and pushing himself into the MVP conversation while the Spurs quietly turn into a real problem.Baseball, of course, couldn't stay normal either. Trevor Bauer is back stateside with the Long Island Ducks, trying to pitch his way back into the majors, which brings plenty of opinions with it. Meanwhile, MLB's ABS challenge system already gave us a game-ending overturned call, because apparently even the last out of a game now needs a second opinion.And then there's Tiger Woods. Body cam footage from his DUI arrest surfaced this week, and a judge has approved his request to seek treatment abroad. It's a heavy story, one that goes beyond sports, but it's also one of the biggest headlines in the entire world right now — and impossible to ignore.So Episode 138 has everything: NFL teams trying to convince you they have a plan, the Eagles trying to convince you they're fine, the NBA continuing to blur the line between reality and video game stats, baseball experimenting in real time, and a Tiger Woods story that reminds you how fast things can shift.Farace and Tim are locked in as always, Anthony's in the mix, and by the end of this one, somebody is definitely going to double down on a take they probably shouldn't.Business as usual.
Hour 3 of Baskin and Phelps
Andy and Jeff talk about Trevor Bauer's return to playing baseball in the United States and whether or not that means he's on his way back to Major League Baseball.

Send a textWhat if the trait that decides who wins isn't talent or likability, but an unshakable need to get better? We dive straight into the fire with Mike Berger—Pittsburgh native, catcher-turned-coach, and longtime executive—to redefine “makeup” as the raw drive that outlasts comfort, politics, and pain. It's not a mood or a mantra; it's doing the hard thing again tomorrow. We separate makeup from character and test that idea against polarizing names—from Barry Bonds to Trevor Bauer—without flinching.This is a story-driven tour through baseball's back rooms and dugouts. Berger traces a life in the game: catching in big league spring at 18, missing a long-awaited callup, then finding his future through a chance phone reservation that led to a 35-year marriage. We unpack how regimes protect “their guys,” why timing is brutal, and how a player-coach role accelerates leadership. Along the way, we get practical tools—reading swing angles, rehabbing around pain, and using the lineup to build the right reps. One gem: pushing a slumping Fernando Tatis Sr. into the leadoff spot to force more high-quality at-bats. It wasn't about optics; it was about outcomes.What holds it all together is a clean framework: confidence creates momentum, momentum produces success. Not empty hype—earned confidence that comes from real adjustments and honest feedback. We spotlight the leaders who can steward that process: Jim Leyland and Chuck Tanner as people-first masters; the “glue guys” who stabilize rooms; and the elite “cleaners” whose edge must be harnessed, not sanded down. From Pirates lore and family legacy to modern scouting rooms, this conversation threads past and present to show how teams actually get better.If you value straight talk, layered stories, and practical insight you can use—on the field or at work—press play. Then tell us: is greatness worth the rough edges if the work never lies?

Welcome to Episode 121 of Tablesetters — and today we're joined by one of the most essential voices in global baseball storytelling. Jim Allen, longtime NPB writer, analyst, historian, and the force behind jballallen.com and its weekly newsletter, sits down with us for a deep, far-reaching conversation about the heartbeat of Japanese baseball and its growing impact on MLB. For decades, Jim's reporting has been the bridge that helps English-speaking fans understand not just NPB players, but the culture, structures, and histories that shape them. From the posting system to player development pathways, from extra-inning philosophy to editorial norms, and from national identity to modern pitch-design trends, Jim brings context you simply can't find anywhere else. And with Tatsuya Imai, Munetaka Murakami, Kona Takahashi, and others drawing MLB attention — all while Ohtani, Yamamoto, and Sasaki redefine the top of the sport — this is the perfect moment to have him on. In our conversation, Jim takes us inside how the posting system actually works: the incentives that guide both leagues, how timing and leverage shape negotiations, and why the 2013 reforms solved some issues while pushing others into new territory. We break down Imai's rise into a front-line starter, why his growth feels so intentional, and what parts of his profile give him the best chance to translate quickly to MLB. Jim also helps untangle the narrative around Murakami's 56-homer “Japanese-born record,” how it's framed against Balentien's 60, and what American fans need to understand about how that story was built and why it stuck. We dig into the philosophical gap between MLB's open-ended extra innings and NPB's 12-inning limit, what that says about pace, workload, and cultural logic, and how that contrast resurfaced when Yamamoto appeared in the World Series on almost no rest. From there, we look at Japan's relationship with the WBC — Ohtani's commitment, the national pride attached to the tournament, and how fans weigh those responsibilities against MLB club preferences. Jim also breaks down why narrow milestones and highly specific statistical labels catch fire so quickly in Japanese media, and what American audiences often miss about that editorial tradition. We explore how public sentiment in Japan has shifted regarding stars leaving for MLB, from the tension-filled Matsuzaka era to today's more normalized wave of early departures. And we close with a look ahead: the next generation of NPB names to know, plus Jim's thoughts on Anthony Kay's breakout season and Trevor Bauer's polarizing stint in Japan. It's one of our most wide-ranging episodes yet — part baseball, part culture, part analytics, part history — and Jim guides all of it with clarity, nuance, and generosity.
In this episode of Two Strike Noise, Jeff and Mark cover the weird, the wonderful, and the downright unpredictable in baseball. Jeff pitches a Mariners World Series giveaway that's either bold or a cruse, depending on your perspective, and the guys break down a marketing face-off between Seattle and Toronto.
