DMV Hoops Podcast – Episode 98

Ten straight wins turning into ten straight losses? Uh oh. The Cubs may still be above .500, but they could be in some trouble. Was Tim Kurkjian the jinx? He stopped by SVP, and maybe that’s what did it. Should every team be playing on Memorial Day? Jeff definitely thinks so. Plus, our GameChanger of the Week is a starting pitcher who throws absolute gas all the time. Under the Quirkjians, we talk no-hitters, Zach Neto strikeouts, and Baz vs. Jax. Don’t forget about Colton Cowser — we’ve got a note on him too. On This Date in baseball history, we discuss Dale Long, Jim Palmer, and Mariano Rivera. And of course, Walter Johnson is our J Alphabest — no surprise there. We’ve also got a big announcement: one of our segments is moving from Thursdays to Mondays. We still want your suggestions though, so head to our website and send us a message or leave a comment. And finally, you get TWO Team Tims today.

In this new series we aim to talk about topics that are a little deeper than we can get into on a main feed episode based on some of the things that we are reading outside what we use for our main feed episodes. Each one will be self-contained and Patron Exclusive! There will still be previews in our main feed but to get the whole thing become a patron at http://patreon.com/workstoppage This first episode's discussion focuses around the compatibility of slavery with capitalism, how slavery was a major factor in fueling the industrial revolution, and many aspects of colonialism, including primary accumulation/expropriation. This longer view of history allows us to more accurately orient ourselves as working class internationalists so we are not fooled by the historical revisionism of the ruling capitalist class.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk sports betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back on the Cash That Ticket podcast for a Friday, May 15, 2026 episode that covers more ground than most, starting with two NBA playoff closeout games and working all the way through the MLB Friday card, a PGA Championship round one update, and a genuine milestone moment as Munaf officially becomes a Pregame Pro on Pregame.com — selling picks for the first time after years of giving them away for free on this pod, and receiving a full public endorsement from Dave that was honest, direct, and exactly what you would expect from a man who has been in the pick-selling business long enough to know the difference between a handicapper and a salesman. On the NBA side, the guys break down Game 6 of Cavaliers versus Pistons at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, where the Cavs hold a three-games-to-two lead after surviving overtime in Detroit behind 30 points from James Harden and a 31-free-throw performance that Dave argues is simply not repeatable — not the free throw volume, not the 40 percent three-point shooting, not the pace that produced 211 points in regulation plus overtime, and both hosts land on the under at 211 and a half as their conviction play, with Dave adding Detroit plus four and a half as his side bet, pointing to the Pistons' history of holding opponents under 101 points in five of their six wins this postseason and the brutal minutes load both rosters are carrying out of an overtime game where Cade Cunningham played 48 of 53 available minutes and Evan Mobley, James Harden, and Donovan Mitchell each logged 43. In the Western Conference, San Antonio leads Minnesota three to two and travels to Target Center as road favorites, and Dave likes the Timberwolves in the spot — citing the loss of emotional fuel that powered the Spurs' 29-point blowout in Game 5 after the Victor Wembanyama ejection, the correctable nature of Minnesota's poor shooting and paint numbers from that game, and his standing rule about backing home underdogs in elimination games, which Munaf reinforces with data showing the Wolves have consistently been excellent coming off losses and pointing to Anthony Edwards as a player who needs a signature moment tonight, with both hosts taking Minnesota plus five and a half and the over at 218 and a half and flagging Naz Reid three-pointers made and Jaden McDaniels points and rebounds as the ancillary prop angles on the Wolves side. On the MLB card, they fade Aaron Nola against the Pirates and Braxton Ashcraft, building the case around Nola's fly-ball evolution, his seven home runs in 42 innings, his trend of pitching worse in back-to-back matchups against the same team, and the road context at PNC Park tonight, preferring the Pittsburgh first-five-innings run line as the cleanest execution vehicle. In the Subway Series, Cam Schlittler — who is putting up historic numbers not seen since Walter Johnson in 1913 — starts for the Yankees at Citi Field against Clay Holmes and the Mets, with cold temperatures, wind blowing in, and a total of seven making the first-five-innings under the natural play for both hosts. Dave's best bet is the over in the Rockies-Diamondbacks game at Coors Field, where Merrill Kelly arrives with a 7.62 ERA and 19 hits allowed in 14 road innings, and Munaf's best bet is the under eight in Atlanta between the Braves and the Red Sox, with Spencer Strider making his third start back from an oblique strain against a Boston offense that has scored five combined runs over its last four games.

We follow up on the tallest outfield ever — consisting of Cody Bellinger, Spencer Jones, and Aaron Judge — and with a little insight, it seems we may finally have confirmation. Thanks to some serious research and people-searching, Tim Kurkjian may have figured it out. Paul Skenes got things back under 2.00, which, are we really surprised? After that tough start to the season, he was able to settle right back in. And Cal Raleigh finally broke a streak no player ever wants to see happen. Meanwhile, Munetaka Murakami and his true outcomes couldn’t be truer. On This Date, we talk Tony Perez, Dwight Gooden, and Willie Mays as a New York Met. Plus, it wouldn’t be an episode without Walter Johnson coming up more than once. You’ll see him again in Three Cards in the Bathroom, surprisingly. The Alphabest “H” hitter and pitcher create a stir, but not as much as the same-name Team Tim. Tim seems relieved when he finally gets the entire team out. HE CAN REST now that he’s done with this list. As always, check out our website for more details on how to send Tim messages at any time. And of course, thanks for being a part of our family.

Coming to you from Tim Kurkjian’s office, just before the sprinkle for Baby Bodie Bell Kurkjian, arriving June 5. We squeezed this episode in not to dodge party setup duties, but with the understanding that we’re fully on teardown after, so don’t worry. Shohei’s streak has finally come to an end, and we break down what it means and how it stacks up against Ted Williams. The Braves are rolling, and the Phillies, at long last, have snapped their skid. But when the two teams met, something strange happened, and we had to dig into it. Let’s just say we’ve become a little obsessed with extra-base hits. Four players reached a milestone on Thursday, though it might not be one worth celebrating. On This Date brings up legends like Hank Aaron and Walter Johnson, and being in Tim’s office gave us the chance to pull out a few Walter Johnson artifacts, which didn’t exactly go as planned. And finally, a special Team Tim in honor of our guest tomorrow, Joe Buck. Yes, that Joe Buck.

May we resolve to live not by lies, political correctness, wokeness, or ‘repressive tolerance‘ by any name. May we live by the Truth alone, and may God have mercy on us. Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to. — Theodore Dalrymple (Anthony Daniels) Frontpage Magazine interview (August 31, 2005) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. — Romans 10:8-13 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. — John 14:6 KJV Links Videos / Clips [x] = Played Triggered!

That’s not ‘Holocaust denial’. It’s not denying the reality of genocidal tragedy – on the contrary, it affirms the tragedy(s) everywhere. This group does not have a monopoly on tragedy, as R.J. Rummel proved in DEATH BY GOVERNMENT: GENOCIDE AND MASS MURDER in which he coined the term ‘democide’. Despite relentless attempts to denigrate him (wonder why?)

Jeff and Mark kick off their opening day episode of Two Strike Noise by mocking the Giants' version of the viral 9-9-9 challenge (mini hot dogs and one beer split into flight glasses) and complaining about MLB games being scattered across too many streaming platforms. They share quirky baseball items and stories, including a Royals rookie oversleeping, an MLB/Mountain Dew promo tied to 420-foot homers, Rays jerseys containing pieces of Tropicana Field's hurricane-damaged roof, and a collector seeking ticket stubs from all 2,499 Carlton Fisk catching games. They then run through notable opening day history: Ruth homering at the first Yankee Stadium game (1923), Walter Johnson's 15-inning shutout (1926), Bob Feller's opening day no-hitter (1940), painted-stand suit stains in Boston (1946), Jackie Robinson's debut (1947), the Seattle Pilots' makeshift stadium (1969), Hank Aaron tying Ruth (1974), and umpire John McSherry's fatal on-field heart attack and Marge Schott's reaction (1996). And an episode wouldn't be complete without ripping some old baseball cards and playing Wax Pack Heroes.   00:00 Show Intro and Banter 01:15 Opening Day Vibes 01:37 Giants Botch 999 05:35 Baseball Streaming Chaos 09:00 MLB Seinfeld Style Oversleep 10:08 Mountain Dew 420 Promo 11:20 Rays Roof Jersey Patch 12:28 Carlton Fisk Ticket Hunt 13:50 First Pitch Record Story 17:26 Rolling Out Opening Day History 17:38 Yankee Stadium Ruth Homer 18:40 Walter Johnson 15 Innings 20:05 Feller Opening Day No No 22:44 Braves Green Paint Disaster 24:24 Jackie Robinson Debut 25:10 Seattle Pilots First Game 25:43 Stadium Chaos Opener 26:33 Hank Aaron Ties Ruth 28:13 Umpire Tragedy 1996 33:45 Wax Pack Heroes 47:40 Outro And Plugs Connect With Us YouTube: www.youtube.com/@twostrikenoise Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise BlueSky: @twostrikenoise.bsky.social Email: twostrikenoise@gmail.com   Support a Great Cause: Don't let your common cards collect dust!

Hey UN•THERAPIST,We need your help UN•THERAPIZING something…Should influence and impact equal equity?We had a conversation centered around Mr. Walter Johnson, also known as "Mr. Tendernism,"  and what stood out about him wasn't just the content; it was the connection we felt to him through our phone screens, the virality, and the way people showed up to the restaurant because of him.But here's the twist

Willie D sits down with Walter Johnson, better known as Mr. Tendernism, for a powerful conversation about survival, food, branding, faith, and purpose.In this interview, Walter Johnson tells Willie D how he built the Tendernism movement, where the name came from, how his signature style took off, and why patience, love, and consistency helped change his life. He also breaks down growing up in Gary, Indiana, traveling across the South to master different cooking styles, working in major kitchens, and building a brand people now recognize everywhere.Walter Johnson also opens up to Willie D about being shot six times and stabbed during a robbery attempt, recovering from that trauma, pushing through business setbacks, and refusing to let pain define his future. He explains how those struggles made him stronger and why he now wants to use the Mr. Tendernism platform to help uplift young people and bring more guidance, food, and opportunity back into the community.This episode with Willie D and Walter Johnson is bigger than food. It is about turning bitter into sweet, building something real out of hardship, and leaving behind a legacy that means something. If you know Mr. Tendernism from the viral clips, this conversation gives the full story behind the man, the mindset, and the movement.#WillieD #WalterJohnson #MrTendernism #Tendernism #Booyah #Podcast #Interview #FoodCulture #Barbecue #ViralInterview #GaryIndiana #LifeLessons #BrandBuilding #Entrepreneurship #SurvivalStorySubscribe To The Willie D Live Audio Podcast at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/williedlivepodcastArtistActivist InvestorPodcasterSupport This ChannelCashApp http://cash.app/$williedlive PayPal http://www.paypal.me/williedlive Support My Foundationhttps://marvelousbridge.orgFollow me on Social Media:Instagram: williedliveTwitter: williedliveTikTok: williedliveFacebook: williedofficial

In this episode of Two Strike Noise, Jeff and Mark explore the career of one of the most efficient pitchers in baseball history: Addie Joss. Known for his "corkscrew" delivery and a career ERA that remains the second-lowest of all time, Joss's life was cut short at just 31. The hosts detail the incredible 1911 Addie Joss Benefit Game, which brought together icons like Ty Cobb (in a borrowed jersey), Walter Johnson, and Cy Young for a cause that predated the official MLB All-Star Game by over two decades. Before the history lesson, the BP segment covers the recent passing of Tigers legend Mickey Lolich, a strange trivia bit about Ozzy Smith's fashion sense, and a look at Hall of Famers categorized by their home states. The episode concludes with a high-stakes round of Wax Pack Heroes, where Frank Robinson leads a 2003 Topps pack. 00:00 Intro: The Domingo Ramos Studio & "Ham Gravy" Origins 02:15 Non-Baseball Fact: Olive Oil and the Usurping of Popeye 04:30 BP Segment: Remembering Mickey Lolich (The Beer Drinker's Idol) 08:50 1987 Tops Trivia: Ozzy Smith, Best Casual Dresser? 11:15 The "Other" Ozzy: Canseco's Stint with the Cardinals 14:40 Hall of Famers by State: New York vs. California 19:20 WBC Woes: Insurance Issues and Javi Baez's Suspension 23:05 The Human Hairpin: The Dominance of Addie Joss 38:40 Wax Pack Heroes: 2003 Topps Mega Pack Battle 54:20 Wrapping Up: Mickey Lolich Deep Dive Tease Connect With Us YouTube: www.youtube.com/@twostrikenoise Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/twostrikenoise BlueSky: @twostrikenoise.bsky.social Email: twostrikenoise@gmail.com Support a Great Cause: Don't let your common cards collect dust!

Sabathia and Ichiro Suzuki all very deserving, were celebrated.  The MLB trade deadline is Friday this week and there have yet to be big-time deals but there's still time.

In this episode of the Know Your Why Podcast, Dr. Jason Balara sits down with Walter Johnson, a seasoned finance professional and real estate investor with over 16 years of experience. Walter shares his path from starting with single-family rentals to finding long-term success in commercial real estate, with a focus on mobile home parks. He explains the operational advantages of this niche asset class, why avoiding home ownership within parks simplifies management, and how he's navigated changing market dynamics, including rising interest rates. Walter also dives into his deeper motivation - time freedom - and why focus, efficiency, and strategic sourcing are the keys to sustainable success in real estate investing.Key Highlights:- Walter began investing in single-family homes as an accessible entry point into real estate.- He transitioned into mobile home parks to pursue better cash flow and a business-oriented model.- Owning the land but not the homes minimizes management burdens and maximizes efficiency.- Direct mail campaigns and working with wholesalers have been his most effective deal-finding strategies.- Rising interest rates have influenced how he evaluates and structures deals.- Focusing on one asset class has allowed Walter to develop deep operational expertise.- His core motivation is time freedom—building a business that supports a lifestyle of flexibility.- Adaptability is critical in an evolving market, and success depends on creating optionality in life.Walter Johnson's journey offers a compelling look at the power of focus and intentional strategy in real estate investing. His pivot to mobile home parks demonstrates how specialized knowledge can lead to scalable, efficient operations and greater freedom. By emphasizing time as the ultimate currency, Walter reinforces that true financial freedom lies not just in wealth, but in the ability to choose how you spend your days.Get in touch with Walter:Office Phone: 480-674-2035Website: https://sonoscapital.com/LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/walterjohnson2/IG https://www.instagram.com/therealwalterjohnson/FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61571746037242If you want to know more about Dr. Jason Balara and the Know your Why Podcast:⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/jasonbalara⁠⁠  Audio Track:Back To The Wood by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.⁠⁠ https://creativecommons.org/licenses/⁠⁠Artist:⁠⁠ http://audionautix.com/

In 1924, the Washington Nationals (they were the Nationals, but also referred to as the Senators) won their first-ever World Series. It was a remarkable season for the Nationals. Owner Clark Griffith dismissed manager Donnie Bush just after the 1923 campaign and named Bucky Harris player-manager. It was a huge risk. Harris was only 27 years old and had only played four years in @MLB . How would the veterans on the team respond to taking orders from someone so young? What kind of experience and knowledge did such a young ballplayer possess? To the surprise of many, everyone accepted him, even aging veterans such as Roger Peckinpaugh and Walter Johnson. In fact, Johnson, who was coming off the first arm injury of his career, was hoping to rebound in his age-36 season, in what was supposed to be the final season of his career. Not only did "The Big Train" rebound he went 23-7 and won the MVP. He was sensational. Everything fell into place for Washington in 1924. A perennial second-division team, the Nats/Sens surprised everyone, won the American League, and then defeated the heavily favored New York Giants in the World Series to capture their first and only World Series Championship. On this episode of Sports' Forgotten Heroes, author Gary Sarnoff who wrote the book, "A Team of Destiny," joins the show for a wonderful discussion of a team that time has forgotten, the 1924 Washington Nationals (Senators).In this enlightening discussion, the focus shifts to the extraordinary 1924 Washington Senators, a team that defied expectations and emerged victorious in the World Series. The podcast intricately details key players such as Bucky Harris, the young player-manager, and Walter Johnson, a legendary pitcher who made a remarkable comeback after an injury. Their contributions are highlighted as the episode explores the dynamics within the team and the strategies employed by management. The narrative encapsulates the essence of teamwork, perseverance, and the spirit of competition that characterized this historic season. Listeners gain insight into the societal and cultural impact of this team's success amidst the backdrop of early 20th-century America, making it a compelling narrative that transcends the realm of sports.Takeaways: The Washington Nationals, originally known as the Senators, have a complex and storied history in Major League Baseball, marked by numerous team changes and relocations. The 1924 season was significant for the Washington Nationals, culminating in their first World Series championship, a feat that remains a historic highlight for the franchise. Walter Johnson, one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, finally achieved his lifelong dream of winning a World Series game during the 1924 championship series. Bucky Harris, at the age of 27, became the youngest manager to lead a team to a World Series victory, demonstrating exceptional leadership and resilience throughout the season. The support of the Washington fans, coupled with the team's unexpected success, created an electrifying atmosphere during the 1924 World Series, showcasing the city's deep connection to baseball. The narrative of the 1924 Washington Nationals reflects themes of perseverance and redemption, particularly through the careers of Walter Johnson and Bucky Harris.

In 1997, Walter Johnson was given five life sentences for robbery and drug offences. Decades later, he was released by the same judge who originally sentenced him. A conversation with that judge about the power of second chances. 

Kerry Lutz and Walter Johnson discussed mobile home park investments, with Walter sharing his insights following his early retirement. He clarified misconceptions about the industry, emphasizing that mobile home parks are governed by strict regulations that maintain their condition. Walter highlighted the potential for significant cash flow returns, typically ranging from 20% to 30%, and suggested strategies for enhancing profitability, such as incorporating self-storage units. He acknowledged the difficulties in locating suitable parks and the existing stigma, but reassured participants that there are still viable opportunities for informed investors. Walter encouraged interested individuals to contact him for further guidance on entering this investment sector.

A federal judge's new book is giving readers a rare inside glimpse at how a judge determines which prisoners deserve to have their sentences overturned.   In his memoir, Disrobed: An Inside Look at the Life and Work of a Federal Trial Judge, Judge Frederic Block introduced readers to his colorful life and career. In Crimes and Punishments: Entering the Mind of a Sentencing Judge, he explained the rationale judges use when deciding sentences, and the human toll it can take. And now, in A Second Chance: A Federal Judge Decides Who Deserves It, he's shining a light on how judges consider resentencing and compassionate release.   Without the passage of a key federal law in 2018, A Second Chance would not have been written. A bipartisan piece of legislation signed by President Donald Trump and supported by the ABA, the First Step Act was one of the biggest criminal justice reforms in the past decade. Among its sentencing reforms, it allows federal judges to reconsider sentences given out during tough-on-crime crackdowns, and for prisoners to petition for compassionate release.   Block, who is a senior judge on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, soon found himself asked to reconsider sentences under the First Step Act. In the book, he outlines the crimes and rehabilitations (or lack thereof) of six federal prisoners. From a former police officer who assaulted an innocent Haitian immigrant to a trio of mobsters, Block selected an array that represents the types of cases he's being asked to consider. Later in the book, he reveals the fate of each—whether life sentences were overturned or unrepentant prisoners were returned to their cells.   In this episode of the Modern Law Library, Block tells ABA Journal's Lee Rawles how his own views on sentencing have changed since he ascended to the bench in the 1990s. In a case that made the news after A Second Chance went to press, Block overturned a sentence he gave out 27 years ago, during his second year on the bench. Block had imposed a quintuple life sentence on Walter Johnson after the man was convicted of robbery, cocaine possession and witness tampering. At 61, Johnson has now been released from prison, and Block discusses that decision in the episode.   Block sees a moral imperative for all strata of the justice system to work together to address mass incarceration. In addition to calling on judges to be open-minded when considering resentencing offenders, he encourages criminal defense attorneys to go through their lists of former clients to see whether any would be eligible for relief under the First Step Act. Most importantly, Block is calling upon citizens to lobby for sentencing reforms like the First Step Act on the state level, since the legislation only applies to federal prisoners. He points out that only about 200,000 of the approximately 2 million incarcerated Americans are federal prisoners; the vast majority are overseen by state courts.   Block also discusses the public response to President Joe Biden's recent clemency decisions, and how collateral consequences have influenced his initial sentencing decisions.

This week I do an introspective dive into the life and baseball journey of Bob Feller. A major league journey that begins at the age of 17, as Feller is the youngest pitcher in big-league history to both win and lose a game. From humble beginnings, the Iowa farm boy and his Heater From Van Meter would see him become the game's second great power arm, after Walter Johnson. #BobFeller #RapidRobert #TheHeaterFromVanMeter #CySlapnicka #ClevelandIndians #USSAlabamaba #SatchelPaige #HalNewhouser #AlLopez #BillVeeck #OscarVitt #HankGreenberg

Events that happened on November 6 This Day in Baseball history. November 6 , 1887 Walter Johnson was born on this day in 1887. Considered by many to be the greatest right-hander in baseball history, Johnson was the hardest thrower of his time. He was a phenomenally successful pitcher on often terrible Washington Senators' teams. As a veteran, he anchored the only Senators' World Series winning club, in 1924. He and Christy Mathewson were the first pitchers inducted into the Hall of Fame. He was known as the “Big Train” and in later years, upon seeing Bob Feller throw his hard one, Johnson admitted that he had thrown harder in his day. Johnson is the greatest player to ever play for the Washington Senators, debuting on August 2, 1907, against the Detroit Tigers and Ty Cobb. “He's got a gun concealed about his person. They can't tell me he throws them balls with his arm.” – Famed writer Ring Lardner wrote of JohnsonSam Rice tells the truth about game 3 of the 1925 World Series - On November 6, 1974, the contents of a letter written by the late Sam Rice to the Hall of Fame are revealed in Cooperstown, New York. In the letter, Rice, who had instructed the letter be opened after his death, says that he did successfully make a disputed catch in the 1925 World Series.Bud Selig goes toe to toe with the players association - November 6, 2001 — Denying it's a negotiating ploy, major league owners give commissioner Bud Selig the authority to “begin the process” of eliminating two ‘to be announced' teams by a 28-2 vote. Donald Fehr, the Players Association executive director, calls the action of possibly eliminating the Expos, Twins, or Marlins most imprudent and unfortunate, and the worst manner in which to begin the process of negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement. We had hoped that we were in a new era, one that would see a much better relationship between players and owners. Today's announcement is a severe blow to such hopes.November 6, 1950, Branch Rickey signs a five-year contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates after selling his 25 per cent interest in the Brooklyn Dodgers' franchise. On October 26, Rickey had resigned as Brooklyn's president, giving way to Walter O'Malley. Rickey will serve as the Pirates' general manager and executive vice-president. The ‘Mahatma's' magic doesn't seem to work, as the Bucs will compile a 269-501 record (.349) during his tenure in Pittsburgh.
