Podcasts about two strike noise

In this episode of Two Strike Noise, Jeff and Mark open in the Jesus Montero Studio, where an ice cream sandwich has never been more dangerous. From there, the guys dig into a card-collecting dad-and-son duo who cornered the market on Greg Briley, a record-shattering Hall of Fame induction program, and John Kruk's musings on clocks, vegans, and sandwiches. They check in on the Little League World Series, where one Canadian kid has already labeled Juan Soto “overrated,” and highlight professional sluggers who quietly joined the 500-home run club outside MLB. Plus, anniversaries and debuts galore: Nolan Ryan's 5,000th strikeout, Carmelo Martinez's fly-ball “weakness,” Big Mac's towel-wrapped sitcom cameo, and Dustin Pedroia's Hall of Very Good candidacy. The main feature this week is Mark's deep dive into Mike Marshall — not the Dodgers first baseman, but the 1974 Cy Young–winning reliever whose 106 appearances, 208 innings, and obsession with kinesiology made him one of baseball's most fascinating arms. And as always, we wrap with another round of Wax Pack Heroes — where mullets, mustaches, and manager cards all come into play. 00:00 Introduction and Studio Banter 03:17 Baseball Card Collecting Adventures 06:00 Historic Baseball Memorabilia 08:16 John Kruk's Hilarious Commentary 10:00 Little League World Series Highlights 11:51 500+ Home Run Club 15:58 Baseball Debuts and Nostalgia 21:05 Mike Marshall: The Iron Man Reliever 32:46 Wax Pack Heroes Game 48:35 Final Thoughts and Outro YouTube - www.youtube.com/@twostrikenoise Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise Bluesky - @twostrikenoise.bsky.social Facebook -https://www.facebook.com/TwoStrikeNoise/ Instagram - @twostrikenoise E-mail - twostrikenoise@gmail.com We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes.

In this episode of Two Strike Noise, Jeff and Mark cover some fresh headlines around the game — including Mariano Rivera going down at Yankees Old-Timers' Day, Jen Pawol breaking barriers behind the plate, and Fernando Rodney still firing arrows in Canada at age 48. The main topic this week is Babe Phelps, one of baseball's many “Babes,” but maybe the quirkiest of the bunch. From hitting .367 as a catcher, to Casey Stengel roasting his pitch-calling, to being nicknamed “The Grounded Blimp” after refusing to fly, Phelps collected as many roommate stories as base hits. Along the way, we meet a young Pee Wee Reese moving hotel furniture in his sleep, Tom Zachary hiding wallets on the floor, and even Babe Ruth bunking with Phelps on the road. The episode wraps up with another round of Wax Pack Heroes, tearing open some cardboard to see which stars and oddballs pop out this week. 00:00 Introduction and Banter 01:13 Upcoming Milestone Episode 01:52 Yankees Old Timers Game 04:21 Jen Powel 08:08 Fernando Rodney's New Chapter 10:52 Baseball Players and Pokemon Cards 13:51 Babe Phelps: The Forgotten Babe 27:36 Wax Pack Heroes 48:16 Final Thoughts and Wrap-Up YouTube - www.youtube.com/@twostrikenoise Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise Bluesky - @twostrikenoise.bsky.social Facebook -https://www.facebook.com/TwoStrikeNoise/ Instagram - @twostrikenoise E-mail - twostrikenoise@gmail.com We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes.

In our main segment we chronicle the man who is thought to be the grand father of the knuckleball, Toad Ramsey. His story was made for Two Strike Noise, childhood injury, drinks alot, played while is disguise after being kicked out of a game…only two of those things are true but they could all happen to him. Wax Pack Heroes takes on some 1990 cards where one of us pulls our favorite and least favorite player of all time.   Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088107517738 Twitter - @twostrikenoise Instagram - @twostrikenoise Two Strike Noise on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvh7epD-mqT9qCIV7CNqhog Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise E-mail - twostrikenoise@gmail.com We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes.

While we wait for MLB to start, the NPB already has & Big Boss is already making waves. The rule no baseball fans likes returns for another season, while another that we like is put in place. The Savannah Bananas did their best Globetrotters impersonation and did something new for baseball, plus a historic debut remembered. In our main story we talk about John Lowenstein, a swiss army knife on the field and one of the great jokers off it. We recap some of his greatest hits & put him on the short list for Two Strike Noise sainthood. In Wax Pack Heroes, another couple of packs of 2000 Topps.

We start this week by remembering former guest of the pod Ralph Terry who passed away last week with a clip of him telling one of our favorite stories about meeting some of baseball's royalty as a young player. Plus we talk Joey Votto's hobbies, Mr. October in Astros orange (?) & we have our first debut segment of the season. To wrap up the show we open some 2000 Topps and get some big names and big scores.  Ralph Terry on Two Strike Noise - https://open.spotify.com/episode/5tTdKbuiovsP5OZM59jofN?si=whQR50rmQHmG5U4e_LF9Wg Twitter - @twostrikenoise Instagram - @twostrikenoise Two Strike Noise on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvh7epD-mqT9qCIV7CNqhog Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise E-mail - twostrikenoise@gmail.com We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes.

This week the worlds of MLB & KPop collide with a good dose of sideburns. We remember some players who have passed recently as well as Honus Wagner's awesome brother (who also passed but along time ago). Yet another celebrity jumps on the Two Strike Noise bandwagon on social media & we discuss ESPN's rankings of best uniforms. In our main segment, we celebrate Black History Month with two stories about African American's in baseball that you might not have heard of before, Toni Stone & Joe Reliford. 1991 Score provide the ammo for this week's edition of Wax Pack Heroes.  Twitter - @twostrikenoise Instagram - @twostrikenoise Two Strike Noise on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvh7epD-mqT9qCIV7CNqhog Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise E-mail - twostrikenoise@gmail.com We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes.

Moe Drabowsky had a 17 year career in MLB, won two World Series rings with the Orioles and was a big league pitching coach for several years. But he might best be known as the Polish Prince of Pranks. Snakes, prank calls from the bullpen and the master of the hot foot. We celebrate Drabowsky’s entire catalog of tomfoolery and thusly proclaim him, Patron Saint of the Pod. Plus, Willie Mays, Lou Gehrig, Wax Pack Heroes and more Benny Disefano talk because why not?    Twitter - @twostrikenoise Instagram - @twostrikenoise Two Strike Noise on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvh7epD-mqT9qCIV7CNqhog Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise E-Mail - twostrikenoise@gmail.com We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes.

In a Two Strike Noise first, we revisit last week’s topic to further explore pitchers cheating with some new info on Whitey Ford, Nolan Ryan, Rick Honeycutt and Gaylord Perry. Plus, we look at something that blew Jeff’s mind regarding Vinny Castilla as well as Canadian baseball award winners. Finally, another new set of cards for Wax Pack Heroes, this week it’s 1997 Donruss.  Vinny Castilla’s Walk Up Music - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjPA7CXutDw&list=PLlzhZNTYD9Fm5RdJP6AahgduTrUtDSWYn&index=3&ab_channel=BobDylanVEVO Sergio Romo’s Walk Up Music - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iH6ppOAB5d0&ab_channel=BandaSinaloenseVEVO Twitter - @twostrikenoise Instagram - @twostrikenoise Two Strike Noise on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvh7epD-mqT9qCIV7CNqhog Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise EMail - twostrikenoise@gmail.com We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes.

Do you remember players wearing shiny jackets in the dugout? How about special shoes just for Astroturf? How about umpires holding a balloon protector infront of them behind homeplate. They say Pepperidge Farm remembers, well so do Jeff and Mark. This week we remember some things from when we started out as fans of the game that are no longer around. We also relive the best use of a slice of pizza as revenge during a MLB game and rip some 1991 Fleer packs for Wax Pack Heroes.  Dave Bresnahan - Throwing spuds - https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=bresna001dav Patriot’s Day Pizza - https://www.mlb.com/news/the-fenway-park-pizza-throw-story Twitter - @twostrikenoise Instagram - @twostrikenoise Two Strike Noise on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvh7epD-mqT9qCIV7CNqhog Hear more of Two Strike Noise on the HotMic app. Use Invite code TWOSTRIKENOISE to download it for FREE at http://hotmic.io We pull ALOT of commons in Wax Pack Heroes.
