When the New York Knicks snapped their 53-year championship drought this past weekend, it showed how long the fan base had been suffering before finally being able to celebrate a title. However, there are quite a few teams in baseball that can commiserate with what Knicks fans have been going through and hope to one day bring a championship back home. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman take a look at the current title-less droughts in MLB, led by the Cleveland Guardians, who haven't won since 1948, and the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres, neither of whom has yet to win a World Series since their debuts in 1969. Along with the Seattle Mariners, Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Mets and others, which team will be next to break its drought? Later, Jake and Jordan discuss two standout pitching performances from this weekend: Jacob Misiorowski, who threw a Maddux for the Brewers, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who flirted with perfection en route to a Los Angeles Dodgers victory. They then recap Tarik Skubal's return to the mound, the Tartan Army taking over Fenway Park during the Boston Red Sox–Texas Rangers game and offer thoughts on players giving mixed messages regarding the annual San Francisco Giants Pride Night. 1:59 – The Opener: Next title drought to end 37:11 – Around The League: The Miz throws a Maddux 47:00 – Yamamoto flirts with perfection 56:22 – Skubal returns to the Tigers 1:04:52 – Turbo Mode: Tartan Army invades 1:10:01 – Giants Pride Night kerfuffle 1:14:57 – Recap of weekend action Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

The conversation turns into a bigger debate about how this Knicks run could be remembered in New York sports history. Evan and Tiki weigh OG Anunoby's unforgettable tip against iconic moments like David Tyree's helmet catch, Bill Buckner's error, Reggie Jackson's World Series heroics, and Don Larsen's perfect game, while making clear that the play's legacy depends on whether the Knicks finish the job.

Rafe Furst is a World Series poker champion, five-time founder, and author of the number one bestselling book on venture capital. He joins host KJ to challenge the VC status quo. Rafe breaks down why the 10-year lockup model is broken, how misaligned incentives are quietly killing early-stage innovation, and why the future of venture capital runs on blockchain. He also shares the story behind The Crypto Company and their newly acquired Frame blockchain, which aims to unify liquidity across fragmented crypto ecosystems. Four Key Takeaways: 3:32 — VCs have quietly abandoned true venture capital by flooding money into later stages. Early-stage investments are treated as lottery tickets rather than genuine bets on founders and their vision. 20:22 — The number one structural flaw in venture capital is not bad founders or bad ideas. It is the total absence of liquidity for a decade or more, which creates misaligned incentives for everyone involved. 21:57 — Liquidity is the magic unlock for early-stage investing. Blockchain technology is the most powerful mechanism to finally deliver that liquidity to founders, investors, and employees alike. 37:47 — AI and blockchain are converging at an exponential pace. Founders who start building on-chain infrastructure now will be positioned to ride the wave rather than get swept away by it. Quote of the Show (38:03):"The way to not get swept away is to get in front of the wave." — Rafe Furst Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

RUNDOWN After 16 days across London, Berlin, Paris, Rome, and Florence, Mitch returns home exhausted, overfed, broke, and surprisingly fond of Berlin. He and Hotshot Scott break down the trip, from ranking Europe's biggest cities and comparing food cultures to discussing sightseeing fatigue, Segway tours, horseback riding in Tuscany, and the realization that his sons viewed the entire vacation very differently than he did. Fresh off his European adventure, Mitch quickly pivots back to the Mariners and a pitching situation that suddenly looks very different than it did a month ago. With the piggyback experiment shelved for now, the focus turns to Bryce Miller's dominant return to form, Luis Castillo's resurgence after being challenged, and whether Seattle's six-man rotation creates more opportunities than problems. The Mariners' series loss in Detroit quickly turns into a deeper conversation about Andrés Muñoz, whose recent struggles have Brady and Joe (Mariners No-Table) debating whether Seattle can continue treating him as an automatic ninth-inning option. The trio examines bullpen management, the challenges created by the six-man rotation, potential closer alternatives, and whether the trade deadline could force Jerry Dipoto to look for outside relief help. Steve Phillips hasn't jumped off the Mariners bandwagon despite an uneven first two months. He explains why Seattle's pitching depth, second-half track record, and a weak American League still make them a legitimate World Series contender, while also addressing growing concerns about Andrés Muñoz and potential bullpen fixes before the trade deadline. GUESTS Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over-Slot Steve Phillips | Former GM of New York Mets, MLB Network Analyst, SiriusXM host TABLE OF CONTENTS 0:00 | Mitch recaps a whirlwind European family vacation filled with unforgettable sights, culture shocks, and a chaotic front-row experience of Paris Saint-Germain's riot-filled Champions League celebration. 33:42 | The Mariners' pitching surplus is suddenly a good problem, as Bryce Miller's resurgence, Luis Castillo's rebound, and Cade Anderson's rise force Seattle to weigh rotation depth against potential trade-deadline opportunities. 45:28 | Mariners No-Table: The Mariners' bullpen concerns take center stage as Andrés Muñoz's struggles spark closer questions, but strong performances from Bryce Miller, Cole Young, and Colt Emerson help keep Seattle firmly atop the division. 1:09:42 | Steve Phillips: Steve Phillips still sees the Mariners as a legitimate World Series threat, with pitching depth, roster flexibility, and a weak American League outweighing bullpen concerns and lineup questions. 1:29:28 | Other Stuff Segment: Caitlin Clark illness during Commissioner's Cup game, Russell Wilson joining CBS, Russell Wilson Hall of Fame debate, Myles Garrett traded to Rams, Aaron Donald comeback speculation, Rams vs Seahawks offseason comparison, Nolan Teasley hired by Vikings, NFL minority hiring compensation picks, Madden NFL 27 cover featuring Caleb Williams, Brandon Roy and Garfield recruiting scandal, Eastside Catholic recruiting jokes, Nick Saban NIL criticism and congressional testimony, French Open champions Alexander Zverev and Mirra Andreeva, Magda Linette Cinderella run at Roland-Garros.

Connor and Mike go through the list of teams that clinched a spot in Omaha. They share the things they're either excited or not excited to see in the CWS.
The Atlanta Braves closed out an impressive homestand with a three-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates, improving their MLB-best record to 45-21. Grant McAuley catches you up on all the biggest stories for Atlanta, including one of the biggest strengths of the team this season -- their much-improved bench. The group of Mauricio Dubón, Jorge Mateo and Dominic Smith have led a group of reserves that has allowed manager Walt Weiss to have considerable options in the lineup and the late innings. You'll hear from Smith, who changed the Braves' plans for the designated hitter spot by becoming one of the most productive bats on the team. Special guest David Justice shares his stories and memories from the 1995 World Series, his game-winning home run, the 1990s Braves' rise to perennial contender, and what it meant to play for Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox. It's a collection of stories you don't want to miss.
