Podcasts about Willians Astudillo

Aaron and John talk about the latest in the ongoing Carlos Correa contract saga, the Twins signing Joey Gallo and why it makes a trade likely, what's left on the free agent market to even spend on, and how Taylor Rogers and Willians Astudillo got paid.

This week there are things Fuzzy doesn't want to talk about. However, we still talk about them. A FuzzTalkRadio Production http://www.fuzztalkradio.com http://www.fuzzjockshop.com http://www.fuzzjockradio.com

En este episodio hablamos sobre los novatos del año de la MLB 2022, Julio Rodriguez por la liga americana y Michael Harris II por la liga nacional. También hablamos sobre una carta abierta de Pete Rose al comisionado Rob Manfred pidiendo disculpas con intenciones de ser considerado para el salón de la fama. También hablamos sobre una posible firma de Anthony Rizzo con los astros de Houston y el fin de la carrera de la MLB de Yasiel Puig por apuestas. Venezuela jugará un par de amistosos antes del clásico mundial de beisbol (wbc) contra los Astros de Houston y los Mets de Nueva York. En la LVBP hablamos sobre la firma de Rainel Rosario con los navegantes del Magallanes y la posible venida de Eugenio Suarez y Gleyber Torres con los leones del caracas, Willians Astudillo posiblemente va a firmar con un equipo en Japón y deberá irse el resto de la temporada de la LVBP. Hicimos un recap de la victoria de los leones del caracas contra los navegantes del Magallanes y los tiburones de la guaira, hay que estar pendiente de los caribes de Anzoátegui y los cardenales de Lara porque en cualquier momento pueden apoderarse del primer lugar y los tigres de Aragua siguen sin ver luz…

This week, we travel back to May 17, 2021, the day Yermin Mercedes swung on a 3-0 pitch from position player Willians Astudillo with his team up 15-4. Since then, we've seen many examples of hitters “running up the score”. Sometimes even against position players. The solution to this problem is obvious. Major League Baseball needs to implement the Mercy Rule… with a twist.Join our community of obsessed baseball fans who embrace the evolution of the game: https://bit.ly/3Qm3qec

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about a convoluted fun fact, the Cardinals' anti-vaccination contingent, a historic Red Sox slump, an injury to top draftee Druw Jones, and a Willians Astudillo double-play pitch, Stat Blast (16:00) about Bryan Shaw and late-starting starters (plus an update on zero-RBI cleanup hitters), and share a Past Blast from […]

Introduction: Host Michael Rand spent a lot of time fixated on the Twins' sad two-decade history against the Yankees on Wednesday's show, so it's only fair to lead off with Minnesota's 8-1 win Wednesday, which was the first time all year New York has trailed by six or more runs. The Twins are now 3-2 in their tough nine-game stretch and have a chance to win the series Thursday. Plus Rand champions the return of Willians Astudillo to the spotlight and thinks the Angels got what they deserved with Nickelback. 12:00: Star Tribune golf writer Jerry Zgoda joins the show to talk about new Saudi-backed LIV Golf Tour, which begins play Thursday in London. Several notable golfers, including Phil Mickelson, have signed up for big paydays. But is it worth it? 24:00: Draymond Green's podcast was a big talker after Golden State's Game 3 loss to Boston, but Steph Curry's injury is bigger news; Cooper Kupp's big extension could foreshadow Justin Jefferson's next deal.

In hour 1: Boston are champs...sort of, Boston fans are classy, Willians Astudillo for the win & What You May Have Missed.

In hour 2: Jonathan Coachman talks about The LIV Tour, what is worse for kids hearing crowds curse or players behaving badly plus Willians Astudillo mentions.

We've got a position player pitching! Patti is out with the plague which counts as down by 6 runs, so West Coast Correspondent Deborah joins Pottymouth and her Jamesons-spiked coffee for this week's show.We give a rundown on notable Pride month actions including Tampa Bay using the Progress Pride symbol (which is inclusive of black and brown and trans people) but leaving it to an “individual decision by players” as to wearing it or not. The Dodgers celebrate their 9th Glenn Burke Day, wearing pride hats on the field for the first time.  On June 11th, for Pride Day at Oracle Park, the Giants and Dodgers will be the first teams to jointly wear their progress pride hats on the field at same time. The Blue Jays get a nod for availability of gender-neutral bathrooms and donations to a local organization working with their staff on diversity and inclusion. Again the Yankees say “We don't do any theme nights” and the Texas Rangers are silent.Meanwhile, the Ohio's GOP-led house snuck language mandating a verification process for “suspected” trans athletes into an unrelated bill. This subjects any school athlete suspected of being trans to an external and internal examination. This horrific proposal affects everyone and could happen anywhere. It's everyone's responsibility to fight it so vote accordingly. Let the kids play.Patti's Nats bf Lane Thomas has a 3 home run game, and former bf Willians Astudillo not only stole a base on May 28, but then pitched a scoreless inning vs the Giants. Former bf (and current West Coast Correspondent bf) Joc Pederson's 3 home run game, was capped by a single leading to a walk-off win. What lead to his all time great hitting game?  Joc says “Barry Bonds was at the park and I talked to him for an hour.” Tommy Pham calls Mike Trout the worst commissioner in fantasy sports, which proves that Patti is better than Mike Trout with the possible exception of hitting and fielding (although we don't know that for sure). Xander Bogaerts broke the record for games played at short for Red Sox at 1094.  Give the longest tenured player on the team the C!Patreon supporter Bryan Jones uses his power for good to remind us all to watch the NCAA College Baseball Tournament. We share his LSU-centric thoughts including players to watch citing sexy defense and exceptional qHar, yet still manage to work in a go Terps! And a Buster Posey mention. Our fantasy league acted locally to punish Aaron Judge for denigrating OPACY. The Kids made their one and only trade ever to rid themselves of the perp, with the Leftovers promising to keep him on the bench.We say  “All purpose reactionary” “Tampa Bay is the least objectionable part of Florida,” and “Life changing pep talk without wearing pants.”Get boosted, fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith,  and find us on Twitter @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the apparent end of Mike Trout's long-lasting SuperPretzel sponsorship, Willians Astudillo's return to the majors, the Phillies' fielding and a seeming surfeit of amusingly bad defensive plays across the league, the arrival of overall no. 1 prospect (and Orioles catcher) Adley Rutschman and how to tell when a […]

There are two Guardian teams in town, and no one is saying but one of them may be a fairly wealthy roller derby team. Yasiel Puig settled a civil suit to make sexual assault go away, dropped Rachel Luba, earned Defender of the Year in LMB, and wants back into MLB. We are thrilled that MLB teams will now provide housing for minor league players. Check that box and move on to fair pay. Clint Frazier is DFA'd which allows us to explain making room on the 40 man roster. The Mets gain a GM but lose an ace.The annual Girls Breakthrough Series featured Bianca Smith, Veronica Alvarez, and maybe a path to college ball. Franmil Reyes won't be playing with Pujols in LIDOM after all, but there's still plenty of familiar faces. In the LVBP, recently DFA'd Willians Astudillo sucker-punches a pitcher, the Panda goes back to where it all began, and Ildemaro Vargas' 4 RBI game lets Pottymouth teach us remolcadas as this week's vocabulary word. (The other option is a little too racy for prom). The CPBL brings us Lion Elephant Battles.

The Twins and Red Sox go yard a combined 16 times at Fenway in a three-game series Minnesota seemed quite content to lose, once they were faced with ace Chris Sale in the rubber match. David and Dan discuss the disappointing pitching performances from Griffin Jax and John Gant, and David dwells particularly on the blown save by Alexander Colome. Dan praises the work of the unsinkable Jake Cave and Willians Astudillo, two players earlier this year both Dan and David were convinced would be gone from Minnesota by summer. Still, the boys admire the Twins' pluck in the first two games, and even in defeat, it's fun to watch a game played at Fenway during a Red Sox playoff push. Up next, a visit to Target Field from the Brewers and the potential return of Byron Buxton to the Twins' lineup.Music: "Minnesota Twins Theme" (1961) written by Ray Charles and Dick Wilson.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Minnesota Twins 6, Detroit Tigers 5 – F/10 Kansas City Royals 4, Chicago White Sox 3 Chicago Cubs 6, Cincinnati Reds 5 Twins 6, Tigers 5 – F/10 – Kepler’s RBI single gives Twins 6-5 win vs Tigers in 10 Max Kepler’s RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning against All-Star closer Gregory Soto gave the Minnesota Twins a 6-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers. Soto walked the bases loaded in the ninth before striking out Willians Astudillo on three pitches, finishing him with a 100 mph fastball. Soto had two outs in the 10th before a walk and Kepler’s ninth career game-ending hit. Robbie Grossman’s pinch-hit, two-run homer tied it for the Tigers with one out in the ninth after Twins All-Star closer Taylor Rogers was pulled from the game with a sprained left middle finger. Royals 4, White Sox 3 – Soler hits 2 HRs, again, as Royals beat White Sox 4-3 Jorge Soler hit two home runs for the second straight game and the Kansas City Royals extended their winning streak to six games with a 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Monday night. Mike Minor (8-8) gave the Royals their fifth quality start in the last six games. He allowed two runs on three hits over six innings. He walked two and struck out seven. Minor’s victory in Milwaukee on July 20 started the Royals’ current winning streak. Scott Barlow worked the final two innings and picked up his sixth save. Cubs 6, Reds 5 – Báez hits bases-loaded single in 9th as Cubs top Reds 6-5 Pinch-hitter Javier Báez hit a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Chicago Cubs a 6-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night. Anthony Rizzo homered in his second straight game for the Cubs. Joey Votto homered for the third time in three games and drove in three runs for Cincinnati, which dropped its second straight and lost for the seventh time in 10 games. Kyle Farmer added a homer as the Reds’ winning streak against Chicago ended at four. Tonight Cincinnati Reds at Chicago Cubs, 8:05 p.m. Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins, 8:10 p.m.                    94.9 WSJM/103.7 Cosy-FM 7:50 Chicago White Sox at Kansas City Royals, 8:10 p.m. MLB – A’s get lefty reliever Chafin from Cubs for 2 minor leaguers The Oakland Athletics fortified their bullpen by acquiring left-hander Andrew Chafin from the Chicago Cubs for two minor leaguers. Chafin was 0-2 with a 2.06 ERA in 43 relief appearances covering 39 1/3 innings for the Cubs this season. The deal was announced following their 6-5 win over Cincinnati and could signal more moves to come from Chicago. The Cubs received outfielder Greg Deichmann and right-hander Daniel Palencia. Oakland is in second place in the AL West and holds the league’s second wild-card spot. The disappointing Cubs are fourth in the NL Central at 50-51 and could be a busy seller before Friday’s trade deadline. NFL – Waiting for Rodgers It’s anyone’s guess as to whether three-time NFL Aaron Rodgers shows up at Green Bay Packers training camp this week. Even the team’s top executive isn’t sure. Packers president/CEO Mark Murphy remains hopeful the quarterback will play for them this season, but says he doesn’t know whether Rodgers will arrive for the start of camp. Murphy’s comments followed an NFL Network report that Rodgers has indicated to people close to him he does plan to play for the Packers this season. ESPN later reported that Rodgers and the Packers were close to an agreement that would include voiding the 2023 season from his contract. The Packers’ camp opens on Wednesday. NFL – Colts Head Coach has COVID despite vaccination Colts coach Frank Reich will miss the start of training camp after testing positive for COVID-19. General manager Chris Ballard says Reich’s test came back late last week and that he has had no symptoms. While Reich is fully vaccinated, Ballard says it is unlikely Reich will return to practice until early next week. NCAA – With eye on SEC, Oklahoma, Texas move toward leaving Big 12 Oklahoma and Texas took the first formal step toward moving to the Southeastern Conference. They notified the Big 12 that they would not be renewing an agreement that binds the league’s members through 2025. The schools sent out a joint statement that made no mention of the SEC and said they intend to honor agreements that give the conference control of the school’s media rights. Those arrangements run concurrent with the Big 12’s television contracts with ESPN and Fox. Texas and Oklahoma have been in discussions with the SEC about joining the league, though neither the two schools nor the powerhouse conference has acknowledged that publicly. MILB – Minor League Baseball – High-A Central Yesterday No games tonight Tonight West Michigan Whitecaps at Great Lakes Loons, 7:05 p.m. Fort Wayne Tin Caps at Lansing Lugnuts, 7:05 p.m. South Bend Cubs at Quad Cities River Bandits, 7:30 p.m. Tokyo 2020 – Summer Olympic Games – Games of the XXXII Olympiad Basketball – US women win 50th straight Olympic game over Nigeria A’ja Wilson had 19 points and 13 rebounds in her Olympic debut to help the U.S. beat Nigeria 81-72 in the opener for both teams. The win was the Americans’ 50th consecutive victory in the Olympics dating back to a loss in the semifinals of the 1992 Barcelona Games. Diana Taurasi, who was playing in her first game in nearly a month after suffering a hip injury, has competed in the last 33 of those victories to set a record for most games in the Olympics. Ezinne Kalu scored 16 to lead Nigeria. Swimming – Alaskan swimmer wins gold Alaska, of all places, has an Olympic champion at the pool. Seventeen-year-old Lydia Jacoby gave the United States a victory in the women’s 100-meter breaststroke, knocking off defending champion and teammate Lilly King. Jacoby was the first swimmer from the Arctic state ever to make the U.S. Olympic swimming team. Now she’s heading back to her hometown of Seward, Alaska, with a gold medal. South Africa’s Tatjana Schoenmaker claimed the silver while King settled for bronze. Jacoby’s stunning win salvaged what had been a disappointing morning for the U.S. team, which had only managed a pair of bronzes before the teen came through. Swimming – US streak in 100m backstroke ends For the first time since 1992, the American men have lost a backstroke race at the Olympic pool. Russia swept the top two spots in the 100-meter back, with Evgeny Rylov claiming the gold medal in 51.98 seconds and teammate Kliment Kolesnikov taking the silver in 52.00. Defending Olympic champion Ryan Murphy settled for the bronze in 52.19. Beach Volleyball – Ross/Klineman win 16th straight The American “A-Team” of April Ross and Alix Klineman have guaranteed themselves at least one more beach volleyball match by beating Spain 21-13, 21-16 for their second straight win. With one more game in the preliminaries left, they can do no worse than a three-way tie for first. The deadlock would be broken during a “lucky loser” matchup after the round-robin. Tennis – Naomi Osaka eliminated from Tokyo Olympics tennis tournament Japan’s Naomi Osaka lost to former French Open finalist Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic 6-1, 6-4 in the third round of the Olympic women’s tennis tournament. The 42nd-ranked Vondrousova produced a series of drop-shot winners and other crafty shots that drew Osaka out of her comfort zone. Volleyball – US women’s volleyball hands China 2nd straight loss The expected Olympic showdown between the top two women’s volleyball teams in the world turned out to be a one-sided affair. The U.S. women swept defending gold medalist China 29-27, 25-22, 25-21 in a pool-play match that left the Americans at the top of Pool B and the Chinese seeking to win their first set of the tournament after two straight sweeps to open the Games. China was also swept by Turkey in the opener but showed five years ago in Rio de Janeiro how little the pool-play matches can mean after losing three of five of them before rallying to win gold. Gymnastics – Biles tries to lead Team USA to 3rd consecutive gold medal Simone Biles and Team USA seek their third consecutive gold medal in women’s gymnastics in Tuesday’s team final. The Americans trail the Russian Olympic Committee. Biles is set to compete in all five events. In swimming, Katie Ledecky and Caeleb Dressel return to the pool with Ledecky seeking a second straight gold medal in the women’s 200-meter freestyle and a later attempt to win the Olympic debut of the women’s 1,500-meter freestyle. The U.S. women’s soccer team plays its final match in group stage play and the US men’s basketball team plays Iran while seeking its 1st win. Tokyo Olympic flame is the first powered by hydrogen Inspired by the sun, the Tokyo Olympic cauldron is designed to be better for the planet. The flame at Tokyo’s National Stadium and another cauldron burning along the waterfront near Tokyo Bay throughout the games will be sustained in part by hydrogen, the first time the clean fuel source will be used to power an Olympic fire. Previous flames have usually run on propane, although magnesium, gunpowder, resin and olive oil have also been used since the first modern cauldron was lit for the Amsterdam Games in 1928. The torch relay was introduced eight years later for Berlin. Olympic broadcasters curb sexual images of female athletes Each Olympics aims to set the highest level of television standards. The head of broadcasting at the Tokyo Games wants to reach this goal by banishing overly sexualized images of female athletes. A wider Olympic program targets gender equity on the field of play and on screen. One mantra for broadcasters is “sport appeal, not sex appeal.” Olympic Broadcasting Services chief executive Yiannis Exarchos says viewers will no longer see the kind of close-ups on women’s bodies they might have seen at past Olympics. It comes as more female athletes oppose wearing uniforms they believe exploits their sexuality. NBC mum on Chinese complaints about map during ceremony NBC is not responding to complaints from China over how the network depicted the country’s map when its athletes marched in the opening ceremony at the Tokyo Olympics. The Chinese consulate in New York and several social media accounts complained because the map showed by NBC did not depict disputed territories like the island of Taiwan, which China considers a breakaway province. The issue is worth watching since NBC Universal is contracted to broadcast and stream next year’s Winter Olympics in Beijing. The consulate general says NBC “harmed the dignity and emotions of the Chinese people.” Softball – Lawrie gets win, Canada beats Mexico 3-2 for softball bronze Canada won its first Olympic medal in softball, taking the bronze with a 3-2 win over Mexico on behind 2 1/3 innings of scoreless, one-hit relief from Danielle Lawrie, the sister of former major leaguer Brett Lawrie. Lawrie is a veteran of Canada’s 2008 Olympic team and the 2009 and ’10 USA college player of the year at the University of Washington. She relieved with runners at the corners and retired Victoria Vidales on a groundout. Lawrie struck out four, fanning Brittany Cervantes to end it. Kelsey Harshman broke a 2-2 tie in the fifth with a sacrifice fly. Tropical storm to bring rain, wind, waves to northeast Japan An offshore tropical storm brought wind and rain to the Tokyo region and affected some Olympic events Tuesday as it headed toward northeastern Japan. Stormier conditions were forecast north of the capital in advance of Nepartak making landfall around midday Wednesday. The Japan Meteorological Agency says the tropical storm has winds of 44 mph that will weaken before landfall. Storm and high wave warnings were issued for the coastal areas of Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures. Super-express train services were to be suspended from Tuesday evening possibly until Wednesday morning.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the return of the debate about batting around and other unending debates they do or don't care about, whether MLB should borrow the NFL's plan to make clubs forfeit games that can't be played because of unvaccinated players, Willians Astudillo being back in the big leagues, and listeners' […]

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Seth constructs starting lineups for the Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Timberwolves to face off against the Wild in an on ice exhibition. For the Vikings, how would the Wild stack up against Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen? Who is going to keep an eye on Dalvin Cook? Is there a more physical defensive pairing than Harrison Smith and Eric Kendricks? Danielle Hunter seems like the perfect choice to be in net for the Vikings squad. Who was snubbed?For the Twins, the roster has a lot of veterans who were put on the team as specialists (such as Nelson Cruz as the extra attacker). Who is going to keep up with Byron Buxton on the outside? Is there a more perfect match than Willians Astudillo as the starting goalie?For the Wolves, how did D'Angelo Russell not make the starting 6? Is Karl-Anthony Towns a better fit in net or at forward?

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Seth constructs starting lineups for the Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Timberwolves to face off against the Wild in an on ice exhibition. For the Vikings, how would the Wild stack up against Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen? Who is going to keep an eye on Dalvin Cook? Is there a more physical defensive pairing than Harrison Smith and Eric Kendricks? Danielle Hunter seems like the perfect choice to be in net for the Vikings squad. Who was snubbed? For the Twins, the roster has a lot of veterans who were put on the team as specialists (such as Nelson Cruz as the extra attacker). Who is going to keep up with Byron Buxton on the outside? Is there a more perfect match than Willians Astudillo as the starting goalie? For the Wolves, how did D'Angelo Russell not make the starting 6? Is Karl-Anthony Towns a better fit in net or at forward? Was Ricky Rubio born to be an NHL center? Let us know what you think of each team's starting 6! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Willians studiously avoids the three true outcomes, the Phillies have a very valuable injured list, and the Atlantic League debuts the “double hook” rule, with full-on mound-moving coming soon.

White Sox ace Lucas Giolito did not start the year the way we would have wanted. His strikeouts have fallen, fastball velocity has dropped, and he's also getting hit hard — a recipe for disaster. He's had OK starts, and bad starts — he's also given up nine home runs this year, already well past his eight in 2020's shortened season. We think that Giolito is a much better pitcher than his 3-4 record and 4.35 ERA implies. Michael Ajeto of PitcherList and our Seattle Mariners sister site, Lookout Landing, agrees, and explains why in this excellent piece written earlier this month. In this in-depth conversation about Giolito's mechanics, Mikey discusses what small adjustments Giolito needs to make to get himself right again. He may already be on the way to getting back to his old self, as his last start on May 19 he pitched eight innings, holding the Twins to one run off of two hits and striking out 11. We also discuss Mikey's PitcherList article on Tony La Russa (yeah, yeah, him again) and the problems surrounding his hiring, and the nefarious implications behind the statements he made regarding Yermín Mercedes taking Willians Astudillo of the Twins deep on a 3-0 count last week. We're always pro-player, always pro-fun. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Aaron and John talk about Miguel Sano's latest season-saving homer binge, the Twins' never-ending injury bug hitting Kenta Maeda and half the lineup, the silliness between Willians Astudillo and Yermin Mercedes, and why the next two weeks are absolutely essential if the Twins are going to turn things around.

Yermin Mercedes went yard off of Willians Astudillo, a position player, in the 9th inning on a 3-0 pitch when they were up big. After the game, manager Tony La Russa had something to say about it, and so do we. Plus we're breaking down 2 more No-Hitters from Kluber and Turnbull as well as Shohei Ohtani's shaky pitching performance.   Subscribe and leave us a review!   Follow us on Instagram: @the_groundscrew @bill_rom @jgerson101

The Minnesota Twins lost 16-4 at Target Field Monday night in the series opener with the first place Chicago White Sox. J.A. Happ was brutal, Willians Astudillo pitched and the offense was few and far between in another embarrassing effort at home.

There were hints of the Bomba Squad making a comeback in Cleveland Wednesday as the Twins blasted six home runs and defeated Cleveland 10-2 in the series finale. Mitch Garver hit two homers while Josh Donaldson, Byron Buxton (5 hits), Jorge Polanco and Willians Astudillo each tacked on one of their own.

The Minnesota Twins are racing out and hitting all of the home runs this Major League season. As of this show, they trail only the Mariners in the American League (and their 49 homers is an eye-catching total). Ramie Makhlouf and Derek Wetmore share their assessment of the Twins at this point in the year, right after beating up and sweeping the Baltimore Orioles. And some are speculating that the ball must be juiced. Smarter people will sort that out, but what we want to know is this. IF the ball is juiced, do you care?

It's projection season and we're up to the task. Ramie Makhlouf and Derek Wetmore each picked 5 guys from the Twins that will exceed their ZiPS projections, and let us list the reasons.
