Also, what to make of Callum Walsh, who defeated Fernando Vargas Jr, and what did Dakota think of the overall television product?Also, Naoya Inoue defeats Murodjon Akhmadaliev. The bout streamed on Facebook, which I am not mad at because that means it was free. Inoue continues to impress.This is followed by a general recap of all things boxing this week. Lewis Crocker fights like Adonis Stevenson to win a split decision over Paddy Donovan. Caoimhin Agyarko won a narrow split decision over Ishmael Davis on that card. On Thursday, WBO flyweight champion Anthony Olascuaga stopped Juan Carlos Camacho. Also, Jalil Hackett was a stand-out, getting a stoppage, while up-and-comer Justin Viloria had a hard night, and Jamar Talley is still an interesting prospect. On Wednesday, we had a card which had the fewest fan favor. Mikie Tallon stood-out when he dropped Christian Robles twice en route to a decision victory. Bek Nurmaganbet stopped Steven Stumper in three rounds, Cuban heavyweight Yoandy Toirac was lucky to get a draw with Skylar Lacy as well. This week, on Thursday, former titleholder Liam Paro returns to Australia. He is in an IBF welterweight eliminator against David Papot. He would be the mandatory for Lewis Crocker. Salita Promotions returns on DAZN with a good card at the top as, Brandon Moore faces DeAndre Savage in a 10-round heavyweight main event, and Olivia Curry vs. Kaye Scott fight for a vacant women's middleweight title. Middleweight Da'velle Smith will also be featured on this card. On Saturday, Golden Boy Promotions returns with a doubleheader.

The brushback pitch has been a part of baseball since the turn of the Century… the one 125 years ago! The Big Train Walter Johnson hit over 200 batters in his Hall of Fame career… 50 years later, Bob Gibson and Don Drysdale were infamous for drilling guys either on purpose or just having one “get away” as they came inside. It's a part of the game, and sometimes, it has catastrophic results. In 1975, Sports Illustrated did a piece on the “beanball” and recounted the story of the only player in MLB history to die from being struck in the head by a pitch… In 1920 Ray Chapman was hit by a Carl Mays pitch and 12 hours later died as a result. The sound of the ball striking Chapman's skull was so loud that Mays thought it had hit the end of Chapman's bat; he fielded the ball and threw to first base. Now imagine you've worked the better part of your life trying to get to the big leagues. Countless batting cages and practices… until you secure a full scholarship to play at a top school, like North Carolina, where you are named All-Conference in 2002. A few months later you get one step closer to fulfilling your dream when the Chicago Cubs take you in the 9th round of the MLB Draft. For three years, you play minor league ball… Lansing, Daytona, West Tennessee and finally Iowa… the Cubs triple a-team… and then on July 7, 2005, the call is made… Adam Greenberg is a Major Leaguer. Two nights later, in the 9th inning of a game against the Marlins in Miami, Dusty Baker summons Greenberg to pinch-hit. He confidently takes the bat he's been holding onto all game, puts on a helmet and strides to the plate for his first major league at bat. Valerio de los Santos goes into his windup… and less than a half second later… it's all over. The pitch hit Adam in the back of his head just under the helmet he had just placed on his head for the first time. He crumbled to the ground with a fractured skull and while on the ground told himself, “Stay alive. Stay alive. Stay alive.”  He did stay alive, but his Major League career was over. In a flash, all Greenberg had spent his entire life preparing for was gone. The life he had planned… over. He wouldn't give up easily, playing in the minors for a half dozen years and being a member of Team Israel in the WBC in 2013. And as it was, his major league career wasn't officially in the books just yet… the Marlins had other plans.  An online petition by a fan picked up steam and in October of 2012, the Marlins signed Greenberg to a 1-day contract… he was getting another at bat… Cy Young pitcher RA Dickey said he was going to treat him like the Major Leaguer Greenberg was, and three pitches later, the knuckleballer had struck him out. The greatest strikeout of all-time. The author of “Get Up: The Art of Perseverance”, Greenberg joins us on the Past Our Prime podcast and recounts as best he can what took place in that first at bat… he tells us how when he was on the ground they asked him questions like “Do you know where you were two days ago?” and Adam said reflexively, “In the minors… and I'm not going back!” It's a story of courage and determination about a kid who did get up, and stayed alive and battled his way back into the box.  In an instant Adam Greenberg's best moment of his life became the worst moment of his life. And yet 20 years later, he refers to it as “The Gift”. You have to hear the full story to know he actually means it. Listen and download wherever you get your podcasts.

However, Moontown's (https://www.moontownbeer.com) success is a story of working within the confines of their two-vessel system to find processes that produce the flavors they want. Step-mashing is a must, and their mashout decoction—while not a traditional one, by any means—gives them an extra nudge of flavor and attenuation. In this episode, director of brewing operations Cody Peczkowski talks about the deep influence of his experience brewing for the Gordon Biersch chain, and the how his approach to recipe design has developed in the ensuing years. Along the way, he touches on: focusing on premium ingredients for better beer step-mashing a hazy IPA adjusting the step-mash regimen for body or better attenuation using a mashout decoction process on their two-vessel brewhouse brewing two different märzens with different origin malts, including both German and American craft malts bunging rather than spunding tanks managing competition beers that are “too hoppy” bringing alcohol levels down in malt-forward lager taking a hop-forward approach to West Coast–style pils asking the question, “What would Gordon Biersch do?” And more.

What a weekend for baseball.  Patti witnesses small children in the stands absolutely take down a full grown booing adult for his poor sportsmanship, and then fireworks. Pottymouth gets a winning double header, dubious mascots, an imaginary friend, and then fireworks. Oh and also there was that trade deadline. The Os lose 100% of their Ramons and Cedrics, but their 21% of the Jacksons in the league turn a relay to throw out the runner at home. There's a whole Taylor/Tyler trade and beer fridge situation, and some pitchers commute to their new team by walking from one bullpen to another. There was a Clemens on the mound, and a Kyle taking down Yankees with big swings. Teams can't decide if they are marketing to Women, Ladies, or Girls but we think they all mean the same group of people. CLE cleans out some pitcher cubbies while the league conducts another possible career-ending gambling investigation. We decide the return of the Presidential Fitness Test is firmly in Police Blotter category. We have takes, and flashbacks. Bryce, Max, and others question the commissioner's squirrely end run around union leadership and aren't afraid to call it out. It seems Cuban girls playing softball are not a security threat but clearly their adult supervision cannot be trusted. The WBC brings the return of Dusty Baker, and a surprisingly stacked coaching staff for Venezuela. Patti recommends The Last Manager, mostly. And oh, hey, one CAN find the results of the Baseball for All Nationals in one handy place!We say, “His name is Mort and he is a casket,” “booing with his whole diaphragm,” and “extravaganza lollapalooza situations.” 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.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Jessimae Peluso stops by the studio! Adam starts off with a bleak observation about Malibu's slow recovery, noting that the local Equinox has been shuttered for six months while the Taco Bell across the street never closed. Jessimae and Adam take a look at Erewhon's absurd prices—including Hailey Bieber's $20 smoothie and question the legitimacy of trendy health fads like sea moss. They also weigh in on the bizarre cultural crossover of celebrities like Travis Scott having signature smoothies and McDonald's meals, and wrap up the segment with a cringe-worthy clip of E. Jean Carroll's awkward interview with Anderson Cooper.In the news, Jason “Mayhem” Miller joins to cover some wild headlines. A former MLB pitcher has been convicted of murdering his father-in-law in a chilling home invasion that involved hours of shocking security footage. Then, things take a lighter, but weirder turn with a viral TikTok story about single women in Manhattan allegedly stealing lunches to get dates, hoping a swiped salad will turn into romance via LinkedIn. Finally, they review a new 2028 Democratic primary poll showing Kamala Harris as an early frontrunner, despite her recent landslide loss to Donald Trump.Legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao calls in to talk about his upcoming WBC welterweight title fight against Mario Barrios. He opens up about how his training and recovery have changed with age, and reflects on his long relationship with legendary trainer Freddie Roach.

 Note this video was filmed earlier in the year. Dani is now scheduled to fight. News coming very soon! The interview was used in: Muay Thai: The Complete Insider's Guide To Training Fighting And Business   Dani Rodriguez talks about his journey to Rajadamnern Stadium champion. We cover his early days getting into Muay Thai, that first crucial trip to Thailand, and stepping into the ring at Raja for the first time. Dani breaks down his WBC title fight against Timo Valentin and that massive Raja championship bout with Saenpon.    He talks about his approach to strength and conditioning, and what it was like facing absolute killers like Yodwicha. We get into game planning, the technical side of southpaw vs orthodox matchups, and what he learned training under the legendary Rittewada.   Dani's honest about the mental side - building self-belief, setting goals, and how he's maintained that confidence even at the highest levels. We discuss his boxing-heavy style, what it's like being recognized as a Muay Thai celebrity, and who his idols are.

Again, we have publicly committed to predictions an hour before the (all NCiB Boyfriend) Home Run Derby begins, that you won't hear until you already know who won. How'd we do? We also check in on our pre-season predictions on standings and individual awards and learn that while some are just as terrible as history has taught us to expect, we are surprisingly right on in some places. Those places are not the American League. We've got some pretty good running “for a catcher,” more benchmarks for PCA, Kyle treating OPACY like home, and some pretty irate Phillies. Congrats to Tito Francona for winning #2000! We wonder what's in the HS drinking fountain water in Oklahoma that produced the #1 and #4 picks in this year's draft. More commitments in the WBC, and some travel ban cross-training with FIFA.We say, “It's just not aerodynamic when your shirt is unbuttoned so far,” “His golf caddies have named him Pelé,” and “How do you solve a problem like Pottymouth?” 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.
