Podcasts about Wander Franco

In todays episode I touch base in the world of sports!

Norm Hitzges is back, and he's got some things to say.

we dive headfirst into the most explosive stories shaking the sports world — from courtroom verdicts to sideline meltdowns, suspensions, and the dark side of fame.In this episode:We unpack the conclusion of the Wander Franco saga — a disturbing story of abuse, trafficking, and a suspended sentence that still leaves many uneasy.Kicker Justin Tucker faces a 10-game NFL suspension after being accused by 16 massage therapists — yet the league remains tight-lipped on the evidence.Geno Smith's coaching stint at a youth football championship spirals into a sideline altercation caught on national TV.A White Sox fan crosses the line with vile comments about Ketel Marte's late mother — and earns a lifetime MLB ban.And in our "Biggest Pickle" segment: Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley is under federal investigation for suspicious betting tied to NBA games. With past legal trouble still in his rearview, is history repeating itself?If you want unfiltered breakdowns of the wildest sports news each week — this is where it gets real.

In Hour 1, Patrick and Joe wonder whether or not the Tampa Bay Rays will be able to get out of Wander Franco's huge contract, debate why hitters are getting hit more often, and more.

In this week's edition of Fair Or Foul, Patrick and Joe wonder who will win more games between the Guardians and Mariners this season, debate whether or not Wander Franco will ever play a game in MLB ever again, and more.

Since last week we've been to Pride night, and Pottymouth has checked out the Smokies new ballpark, and crosstrained with Bananaball. Patti opted out on Bananaball because there are two kinds of people in the world. Although Cosmic Baseball could be a thing… The All Star Game is loaded with former boyfriends and just a few new ones, and the Derby could be all our guys. Congrats to Justin Verlander on what must be a very beautiful new baby, and thanks for the timing which let Brett Wisely back up to the bigs. More fans behaving badly, this time to Ketel Marte, and good work to the hometown fans for much-needed support. Police Blotter and more crosstraining as we report on horrible men in two sports. Franco gets away with abhorrent deeds and Tucker denies it all. More World Baseball Classic participants are announced and we are eyeing a trip to Puerto Rico. And thank you, Trea Turner, for not ticking off the baseball gods.We say, “I went and did the Banana thing,” “A light beer but way more of it so the math should work,” and “Whiskey with the Canadians in the basement.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

En el episodio de hoy de Baseball News hablamos de la condena de Wander Franco en República Dominicana y el gran impacto que esto tiene en el mundo del béisbol. Además, repasamos a los más votados para el Juego de Estrellas donde Aaron Judge y Shohei Ohtani siguen liderando. Los Astros completaron barrida sobre Phillies con Hunter Brown brillante, los Mets recuperan la cima al vencer a Bravos por blanqueo, Shota Imanaga regresó dominante para guiar a Cubs sobre Cardenales, Clayton Kershaw se acerca a los 3000 ponches con Dodgers, y los Azulejos blanquearon a Guardians en un juego donde Vladimir Guerrero Jr y José Ramírez salieron tras recibir pelotazos. ¡Todo esto y más en Baseball News!Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/con-las-bases-llenas-podcast-de-beisbol--2742086/support.

Wander Franco fue encontrado culpable en República Dominicana, pero su sentencia fue un chiste. Es el final de Wander en la MLB? Juam Soto con mes histórico en la MLB. Noche de lanzadores en la MLB. Nuestro amigo Edwin Rodriguez habla sobre su nuevo libro para bateadores.

Por aquí decimos que quien tiene las lágrimas hondas empieza a llorar temprano y Wander Franco lloró tan pronto escuchó la sentencia que lo declara culpable  de abuso contra una menor aunque la condena sea a prisión suspendida y al pago de una multa que resulta insignificante para sus ingresos.El tribunal de hecho lo considera víctima de extorsión por parte de la madre de la menor y el fallo evidencia las solicitudes económicas de la señora Vanessa Chevalier que no sólo fue condenada a 10 años de prisión sino al decomiso de los bienes e ingresos resultado de su delito en contra de su propia hija.Estos bienes incluyen un inmueble, un vehículo y 68 mil dólares que fueron decomisados previamente.A los ojos de la mayoría el fallo fue benigno con el pelotero de Tampa Bay que se ha visto involucrados en otros escándalos pero por su llanto hay que pensar que él sabe cosas que nosotros desconocemos.Hay que recordar la soberbia del pelotero que está suspendido desde 2023 tras conocerse del  caso que fue denunciado por la propia víctima. Un reporte de diario libre del 4 de enero del 2024 evidencia la plena conciencia del jugador sobre lo que estaba haciendo y la soberbia con que lo asumía.El diálogo con la menor no puede ser más explicito y así consta en el expediente: Mi niña, mi equipo si se da cuenta de esto me puede causar problemas, es una regla en todos los equipos no hablar con menores de edad y, sin embargo, me arriesgué y me encantó”, expresó Franco en una captura de una conversación por la plataforma Whatsapp con la adolescente.La reacción rápida tanto de su equipo como de MLB no es auspiciosa, el equipo dice que esperará la decisión de la liga y la liga que sigue investigando.Las lágrimas del jugador tan pronto se conoció el fallo evidencian su estado de ánimo. Es probable que sus representantes en el norte le hayan advertido sobre la culpabilidad. Por allá no están juzgando las penas sino las responsabilidades.

Mientras Brad Pitt estaba promocionando su nueva película, los maleantes se metieron a su casa en Los Ángeles que se llevaron varias de sus pertenencias.Y además en El Gordo y La Flaca: Decenas de cineastas latinos independientes se reunieron en Los Ángeles para destacar sus logros y apoyar sus proyectos.Caos en las afueras de la corte mientras continúan los alegatos finales en el caso de Sean Diddy Combs.Karol G revolucionó Nueva York al presentarse en el show de Jimmy Fallon.Todo listo para la pelea entre Jake Paul y Julio César Chávez Jr.Así les fue a los famosos en la primera fiesta de la boda de Jeff Bezos y Lauren Sánchez.

Yay! It's Friday. There's almost NO rain in the forecast…and the Big River Rally starts later this afternoon! Gotta get my friggin' lawn mowed today before anything else. On the show today, the latest on the wild weather in the area from the last few days, the woman in Rock County who was the target of an attempted murder, the Blue Angels will be performing this weekend at the Chippewa Valley Air Show, the suspect in the molotov-cocktail attacks in Boulder has been indicted, the wife of the Minnesota lawmaker shooting suspect speaks, and the latest on the Joe Rogan/Liver King beef. In sports, the Brewers start a three-game series against the Rockies tonight, John Tonje got picked by the Jazz last night in the NBA Draft, Justin Tucker has been suspended by the NFL, and Wander Franco has been found guilty of sexual abuse in the Dominican Republic. Elsewhere in sports, Jim Ross announces that he's 100% cancer-free, and the back-up performer from the Super Bowl halftime show who waved a flag as protest in support of Sudan and Gaza has been arrested. We let you know what's on TV this weekend and what's new in theaters. Plus, Doc joined us just after 8am for his weekly Racing Report, thanks to County Materials in Holmen. Cute video of a bride & groom who played Rock/Paper/Scissors at the altar to determine who was taking the other's last name. And in other feel-good news, check out this 12 year-old who saved his family from a fire…and this 12 year-old who decided to help shelter animals by playing music for them! In the future, you could be snorting tiny nose-robots to help with your blocked sinuses.(no thanks!) We also discussed the newest drink from Dunkin' Donuts that's getting some flack online, and Subway officially teams up with Happy Gilmore for a meal deal! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaCop who resigned after he got caught stealing someone's wallet during a traffic stop, an idiot TikToker who thinks you get better mileage if you pump gas slowly, an old woman sitting in a chair in the middle of a highway with a gun, a lifeguard who got impaled by a beach umbrella, TSA reminding morons that their Waffle House ID doesn't work at the airport, and a jewelry store manager who stole a bunch of product and was caught because she posted selfies on social media while wearing the stuff she took.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
