   A report on Sunday indicates Travis Kelce has decided to come back for a 14th season but says he and his agent may be shopping around to play for somebody other than the Chiefs.  Seems unlikely but I think we'd understand why.    KCI was evacuated due to a bomb threat Sunday as would be passengers poured out of the terminal and planes onto the tarmac, the streets and cell phone lots.  It was a crazy scene.    Iran has chosen the son of the former Supreme Leader to take charge.  This seems like a death wish.  Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer just unloads on President Obams for his hateful speech at Jesse Jackson's funeral and it didn't sit well with Jackson's son, either.   The conference tournaments are set in KC and Nashville for our area basketball teams.  It starts after a scathing column by a writer in Arizona that can't believe the tourney is in KC every year.    USA Baseball is rolling in the World Baseball Classic and has games against Mexico and Italy the next two nights.  17 Royals are playing in the tournament.   A former runningback at Alabama calls out Nick Saban.   Charlie Woods is the highest priced college golfer and the worlds largest flashlight is changing the eco system in our Final Final.

The Next Time Might Be the Last Time Your Child Plays Baseball In this episode, host Deven Morgan delivers a comprehensive ABCA convention recap and gets personal about what it means to coach his son—possibly for the last time. The bulk of the show tracks Deven's ongoing mission to establish universal pitch count standards and cross-organizational reporting, from presenting directly to MLB and USA Baseball, to navigating the politics of getting Little League, Perfect Game, USSSA, and private equity-backed leagues to buy in. He breaks down new MLB data showing 34% of Tommy John surgeries from 2010–2022 were performed on players 17 and under, reinforces the case for a "coalition of the willing," and recaps his speaking slot on the MLB Arm Care Panel. Along the way, Deven takes a swing at lacrosse marketing ("America's oldest sport"—miss me with that), unpacks the multi-sport vs. single-sport debate by emphasizing that athletic development must accompany skill work, and announces a podcast-exclusive 25% discount on Driveline youth assessments. The episode closes with an emotional reflection on coaching Danny into third base during a recent scrimmage—connecting that moment to a nine-year-old version of the same kid sliding into the same bag years earlier—and a reminder to every youth coach: the next time might be the last time.Timestamps00:00 Intro01:45 Housekeeping: AxeBat code DL2002:05 NEW: 25% off youth assessments (code: PODCAST)04:30 Lacrosse "America's oldest sport" rant08:35 ABCa recap: universal pitch counts & reporting12:50 Presenting to MLB & USA Baseball15:15 Coalition of the willing & Youth Summit progress18:00 Pitch Smart 1.0 politics21:55 Pitch Safe app & Pulse workload data27:30 MLB updating pitch guidelines28:55 New data: 34% of TJ surgeries are 17-and-under30:00 Coaching in the HitTrax cage with AxeBat33:10 MLB Network filming & Arm Care Panel prep35:25 Youth Hot Stove panel recap38:30 Multi-sport play deep dive45:10 College recruiting: athleticism vs. skill46:15 Scrimmage story: last time coaching Danny?48:45 The triple—"to me, to me, to me"52:30 Flashback: nine-year-old Danny, same bag58:40 The next time might be the last time1:03:45 "This Week in Pitch Counts" returns1:05:20 Outro

All Women, All Baseball: The WPBL Journey Begins Breaking Ground in Women's Baseball All Women, All Baseball: The WPBL Journey Begins spotlights catcher Denae Benites, a leader on the USA Baseball women's team who is chasing history with the new Women's Professional Baseball League (WPBL). Hosted by Lilah “Brickwall” Br4tcher and co-host Ashlynn Jolicouer, this all-women's baseball episode dives deep into the barriers, breakthroughs, and bold dreams shaping the sport. From her start playing Little League with the boys to making Team USA at just 17, Denae has always followed her love of baseball. She explains why she never gave in to pressure to play softball and shares a powerful reminder: “You wouldn't tell Serena Williams to go play table tennis. So why tell us girls that we have to go play softball?” The Rise of the Women's Professional Baseball League The WPBL marks a groundbreaking step forward for women in baseball, with more than 500 athletes from ten countries showing up for its first tryouts. Denae walks listeners through the multi-day event, the international talent she faced, and the excitement of creating a path for future generations. Her passion proves that this league is not just about games—it's about history, opportunity, and visibility. For Ashlynn and Lilah, who are both youth players chasing their own dreams, this conversation was more than an interview. It was a chance to hear what it takes to make the leap from high-level amateur play to professional women's baseball. Catcher's Wisdom and Baseball Dreams As a catcher, Denae stresses the importance of mobility, quickness, and athleticism. She shares her routines, training on hills with weighted vests, and why catchers can't be underestimated. She also reveals her favorite baseball traditions—from pop times to her lucky Bruce Bolt sleeve. Fans also get a glimpse into lighter moments, including cereal debates, dream stadiums, and walkout songs. For the record, Denae's pro walkout choice would be “La Chona”, while her USA hype song is “La Mama De La Mama” by L-Alpha. Inspiring the Next Generation This episode is filled with motivation for young players chasing their own path. Denae reminds listeners to train hard, take care of their bodies, and stay focused on development both on and off the field. Most importantly, she emphasizes that having fun and believing in yourself will take you further than doubters ever could.

Bryan Reynolds is hitting the ball on the ground a lot and Michael wonders if Reynolds is still dealing with a shoulder injury with his mechanics. Michael is a part of USA Baseball and both Japan and China has baseball teams playing very well and is growing because of players playing in MLB.

USA Baseball recently announced that Mark Derosa would return as the Manager of the 2026 WBC Team USA. That prompted us to replay the entertaining and info-packed interview we did with DeRo back in 2023. You will really enjoy hearing his story as a two-sport Ivy League athlete, the fun back-and-forth between Mark and Jeff (his next-door neighbor), some great MLB stories, and his take as a sports dad in the challenging world of travel ball. Mark's opinions and insights are informed, thoughtful, and full of passion. Enjoy!
