Podcasts about World Series

In Episode 108 of Chase for 28, Chris and the Podcast Padre break down another week of inconsistency and frustration in the Bronx. Despite hopes of a turnaround, the Yankees remain stuck in mediocrity—splitting series with Houston and Minnesota and now clinging to the third Wild Card spot. The guys examine the team's lack of urgency, puzzling bullpen decisions, and the offensive struggles that continue to plague the lineup.They also discuss the fallout from Old-Timers Day, including Mariano Rivera's freak injury, Derek Jeter's absence, and whether the Yankees missed a chance to make the event truly special. Plus, Michael Kay sounds off on Boone's bullpen usage, Cody Bellinger's looming free agency shakes up the hot stove, and the guys share strong opinions on analytics, launch angle, and the lost art of situational hitting. All that, plus Spencer Jones watch, a Hall of Fame trivia recap, and this week's new trivia question for die-hard fans.Topics Covered:Recap of the week: Yankees go 3–3 (series vs. Houston & Minnesota)Yankees' current standing: 64–57, third in AL East, barely holding the Wild CardLack of urgency and bullpen mismanagement (Michael Kay rant)Offense still inconsistent—why the home run or nothing approach is failingPositives: Giancarlo Stanton's recent hot streak (.394, 4 HR in 11 games)Injury news: Trade deadline acquisitions on IL; Rivera tears Achilles at Old-Timers DayOld-Timers Day reaction: Jeter's absence, how the Yankees should make it special againYogi Berra's Mets cameo in '65—fact-checkCody Bellinger opting out?

Padres CEO Erik Greupner joined Ben & Woods on a Friar Friday! Listen here as Erik gives us his thoughts on all of the excitement buzzing around Petco Park right now as the Padres battle the dodgers for 1st place in the NL West, the successful trade deadline for AJ Preller and his staff, and why the organization is as committed as ever to winning a World Series championship this year!

When you push all of your chips to the center of the table, in sports it means you believe you are one of the elite teams capable of winning the ultimate prize. Based on the recent trading deadline acquisitions of the Philadelphia Phillies, one could certainly surmise this. Jhoan Duran and Harrison Bader are two high-leverage acquisitions the Phillies hope will help fortify their chances of winning the World Series.Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles are aiming to solidify their status as the best team in football and maintain their championship-caliber identity and mindset as they pursue another Super Bowl title heading into 2025. Can Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley replicate the success they had a year ago as they defend their title? These are all burning questions of great intrigue. For some answers, I turned to Devin Jackson, the Nighttime Sports Editor for the Philadelphia Inquirer. He joined me this week to provide his perspective on everything related to Philadelphia sports.

Should the Rangers consider bringing back World Series champion Nathaniel Lowe? Shan and RJ discuss that and the Mavs' 2025-26 schedule.

A fascinating chat with the author and baseball hostorian, whose new book "Interstate '85-The Royals, The Cardinals, and the Show-Me World Series" provide a fresh look at the iconic matchup four decades on. Great new details and insights to soak in!

The Phillies dropped their 3rd straight game in a row last night off the heals of 4 game winning streak. Manager Rob Thomson made some head scratching decisions in the game. But as this team looks to have World Series ambitions does Rob Thomson have to be a great manager in order for the Phillies to win a World Series?

In hour 1, the WIP Midday Show is reacting to the Phillies 3rd straight loss last night. Punctuated by some questionable Rob Thomson decisions. This has the WIP Midday Show wondering if Rob Thomson's role in a Phillies World Series run requires him to be great. Plus, looking into the Nick Castellanos problem the Phillies have.

On today's show, the WIP Midday Show are claiming Rob Thomson will have to be not just good but great in order for the Phillies to win a World Series in 2025! Plus, reviewing the importance of training camp for the Eagles to have success in 2025 amidst a stretch of rough practices for the Eagles. As well as, the Nick Castellanos problem, Scott Franzke joining the show for a Franzke Friday, Aaron Nola's return, Browns vs Eagles preseason preview, and more!

Tek & Prem welcome Bob Vetrone Jr. of Boop Stats on the VetLine to talk Birds and Phils. He also gives us some Veterans Stadium History and great memories. The Eagles start the regular season in just 3 weeks against the Cowboys at home, as the campaign to repeat as Super Bowl Champions commences. With Preseason Game #2 approaching versus Cleveland, the questions mostly surround the composition and effectiveness of the secondary. The backup QB McKee was spectacular in the first Preseason Game. Possibly the team's only true weakness, someone will either have to emerge as the "guy" in the secondary, or Howie may have to make another move to solidify it. The Phillies lead the NL East by 5 games as we enter the latter half of August. The freefalling Mets cannot stay on track and are losers of 9 of 10. The outfield shuffle is of great debate, but one thing is certain, Jhoan Duran is the real deal. Segments include: VetPhact, VetLine. Courtesy of the Vet Alumni Members Association (VAMA) 

During the annual World Series of Birding in New Jersey, US, teams compete to see who can identify the most bird species in 24 hours. For team Galbatross the goal is different and much harder - they only identify female birds. This self-imposed restriction is a form of activism, calling into question centuries of ornithology that has focused primarily on male birds, with their bright plumage, elaborate dances, and loud songs. We follow team Galbatross as they attempt to break their own record for the most female birds spotted during the World Series of Birding. We also hear from scientists and birders alike about how we got where we are, and how expanding science to be more inclusive of species of all genders can change our perspective on ourselves and the environment.

Rick Wise pitched 18 seasons in the big league, beginning with is rookie year for the 1964 Philadelphia Phillies. He won 188 games in that span and achieved some notable milestones, including becoming the only pitcher in Major League history to pitch a no-hitter and hit 2 home runs in the same game. Wise was also the winning pitcher in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series - considered by many to be among the greatest World Series games ever played.Rick joins Hooks & Runs this week to reflect on his long baseball career.Errata - Rick allowed runs at old Sportsman's Park in 1964, but he did not allow any earned runs. The first night game in MLB history was in Houston in 1963, not 1962.

Episode 307 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're back on the diamond discussing Mark McGwire.“Big Mac” made a splash in Major League Baseball after a successful college career at USC.At 6'5” 220 lbs., the enormous first baseman unanimously won the 1987 American League Rookie of the Year when he clubbed a then-rookie record 49 home runs for the Oakland Athletics.Along with his “Bash Brother” partner, Jose Canseco, McGwire helped lead the A's to three straight AL pennants from 1988-1990 and won a World Series in 1989.Though injuries and the 1994 MLB strike prevented McGwire from producing effectively, his final two and a half seasons in Oakland saw him club 125 home runs before he was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals midway through the 1997 campaign.Yet it was 1998 when McGwire was celebrated as the “Savior of Baseball” after the negative fallout from the 1994 strike.McGwire broke Roger Maris' single-season home run record, and finished 1998 with 70 on the season! He hit another 65 in 1999 and hit a combined 61 in 2000 and 2001 before his retirement.Sadly, these records came at a price. McGwire, thought to be a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame as a 12x All-Star with 583 career home runs, was caught up in the scandal surrounding performance enhancing drug use in MLB during the 1990s and 2000s.McGwire eventually admitted he took steroids during a 2010 interview with Bob Costas, and has been left out of Cooperstown like so many of his contemporaries who made the same choice.Watch, Subscribe & Comment on All Platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/the-sports-experience-podcast-with-chris-quinn/id1529622054Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1esgBLz04MZYrTgYMk5DvaConnect with us on Instagram!Chris Quinn: https://www.instagram.com/cquinncomedy/Dominic DiTolla: https://www.instagram.com/ditolladominic/Ty Engle:https://www.instagram.com/ty_englestudio/S.E.P.: https://www.instagram.com/thesportsexperiencepodcast/If you enjoy our podcast, please help support us:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-experience-pod/support#sportspodcast#comedypodcast#markmcgwire#baseball#oaklandathletics#stlouiscardinals#baseballplayer#mlb#baseballhistory

Jeff Blair welcomes in guest co-host, MLB Network's Jon Morosi, to share a national perspective on the Blue Jays ahead of their series against the Chicago Cubs. They look at the Jays' standing in the AL, share takeaways from Mark Shapiro's availability, and project what the Jays might do with their rotation when Shane Bieber is ready. Later, Jays Special Assistant and retired MLB outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (31:31) reflects on winning a World Series with the Dodgers in his final season, his transition to coaching, and the clubhouse culture in the Jays' minor league system.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Jeff Blair is joined by current starting pitcher for the Chicago Cubs and former Blue Jay Matthew Boyd (0:41) to chat about what it was like to be traded for David Price, his road back from Tommy John in 2024, his relationship with the Cubs' front office, and the team's aspirations to return to the World Series. Then, Blue Jays Central analyst Caleb Joseph stops by (17:00) to discuss how much of a boost Andrés Giménez will give to the clubhouse returning for the final stretch towards the postseason, José Berríos losing steam, and Jeff Hoffman's recent form. To wrap up the show, we hear from Blue Jays President and CEO Mark Shapiro discussing his future with the organisation.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Sal and BT argue that the Yankees' World Series appearance last year is not enough to protect the jobs of manager Aaron Boone and general manager Brian Cashman this season. The duo points out that while reaching the Fall Classic was a positive result, it was an "aberration" that masked deeper, more systemic problems within the organization. They believe that if the Yankees miss the postseason this year, Hal Steinbrenner will be forced to make a significant change to the team's leadership, as the "pass" they earned from last year's run has completely expired.

BT and Sal dive into the perennial debate surrounding the New York Yankees, questioning whether their recent win is anything more than a statistical anomaly. Sal argues that while the Yankees may appear to have success on paper, their fundamental flaws—poor roster construction, over-reliance on analytics, and a lack of accountability—make them a far cry from a true World Series contender. The duo concludes that the team's ongoing issues are by design, stemming from a front office that prioritizes data over baseball instinct. They speculate that if the Yankees fail to make the postseason, a "clean sweep" of the front office and coaching staff might finally be on the table.

Jose Canseco was one of the most feared sluggers of his era — a Rookie of the Year, MVP, World Series champion, and the first player in MLB history to hit 40 home runs and steal 40 bases in the same season. On paper, his résumé screams “Hall of Fame.” But his career took a turn that forever changed his legacy. In this episode of Kenny The Sports Guy Podcast, I break down Canseco's rise to superstardom, his controversial fall from grace, and the lingering question: Should Jose Canseco actually be in Cooperstown? #MLB #Baseball #JoseCanseco #Athletics #Yankees #BlueJays #Rangers #SportsPodcast

If you're at a Pirates game, the highlights are taking in the gorgeous view, eating some hot dogs, and cheering on your favorite pierogi. But most of us aren't actually expecting the Pirates to win. After all, it's been 45 years since we fielded a team that could make it past a single playoff series, and some Pittsburghers contend that it's all because of Bob Nutting. You've seen the billboards calling for Bob to abandon ship and maybe even heard the chants at PNC Park yourself. Host Megan Harris is sitting down with a few of the rabble-rousers behind Our Team, Not His who say the time is now to convince Pirates owner Bob Nutting to sell the team.

Baseball was king in the mid 70's and 1975 was a banner year for the National Pastime. After a decade in the dumps, attendance was booming all over the league with the Reds drawing a team record 2.3 millions fans, 2nd only to the Dodgers in all of baseball… and it was no surprise that the Red Sox led all AL teams in putting fans in seats with 1.75 million visiting Fenway that season. Those two teams would then square off in a World Series that 50 years later is considered an all-time classic. Overall baseball drew 29 million fans… its the last time MLB drew under 30 million fans in a full season of play… and soon, teams were regularly attracting 2 million fans to their games annually… in fact, by 2001, 20 of the 30 teams had more than 2 million fans in attendance including both Oakland and Pittsburgh… and 8 had more than 3 million coming through the turnstiles. Baseball was exploding… the days of small crowds were over… and so the powers that be at MLB set their sights on a new generation of fans and how to grow the game for those who couldn't attend in person. Enter Dinn Mann… hired by MLB in '01 to lead the MLBAM division (Advanced Media) the longtime journalist and even longer fan of the game, Mann came to New York with a plan and in the next 15 years, he executed it perfectly. MLB.TV was born, and MLB.com. Oh, and that MLB app on your phone… that too… and before long, the game was being seen, and downloaded, and streamed to the tune of $600 million in revenue per year.  In other words, MLB hired the right guy. Mann's infectious attitude helped spearhead a digital revolution on the diamond, and the fans were happily going along for the ride whether it be with their TV, their laptop or their phone. Play ball, play ball and play ball! Dinn joins us on the Past Our Prime podcast to tell us what was different at the turn of the century compared to 50 years ago and how they used the momentum of an ever increasing fan base to do what many, including Mark Cuban said, was impossible... Baseball was covering baseball… and the fans couldn't get enough of it. Mr. Mann tells us how he told his crew never tell me how we did things last year… tell me how we're going to do things this year. He's a visionary in every sense of the word and as the grandson of the man who owned the Astros and built the Astrodome, Dinn is a lifelong fan of the game. It's in his blood. And you can hear that passion when he talks about the game of today… how blackouts are the biggest issue for fans and what the owners and players can do to avert a labor stoppage in 2027. And he reflects back on his time at MLB including a morning, afternoon and evening in March of 2015 when he helped create a day where  comedic superstar Will Ferrell donned the cap of the A's…I mean, White Sox… I meant to say, Dodgers… Mariners, Angels, Cubs, Reds, Giants, Padres and D'Backs in Arizona and played 10 positions for 10 teams in about 10 hours! A great day for baseball… a great day for Dinn Mann… and for the 16 years Mann was at MLB… that happened quite a bit. If you like baseball half as much as Dinn does, and you want an inside look at how the game got better and can get better, listen up to a man… the Mann… who knows a thing or two about the inner-workings of MLB.

On this week's episode, we make our three-quarter season of the award picks for MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, and Manager of the Year, and make our picks for the World Series with 40 or so games left in the season. From there, we discuss Roman Anthony's eight-year, $130 million extension with the Red Sox that buys out all of his pre-arbitration, and first-three free agent years, and Jen Pawol making history over the weekend as the first female umpire at the big league level. To wrap up, we discuss Alex Wood's retirement, and how Old Timer's Day made us long for the Yankees of the past.

The Blue Jays spent the weekend in Los Angeles almost getting swept by the defending World Series champions and the drama was so far through the roof that a bonus episode of Deep Left Field was required so we could all process it. From the high of a club-record 45 runs scored over three games in Colorado to just two runs combined in the first two games at Dodger Stadium and just two more through the first seven innings of the series finale, questions were starting to pop up about the Jays, despite them having the American League's best record. A Sunday loss would leave them with only five wins in their last 14 games - three of them against the worst team in the game. Was the air starting to come out of the balloon? Was the Jays' record a mirage? Can we actually not have nice things in Toronto? Home runs by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Addison Barger gave the Jays a late lead, but closer Jeff Hoffman gave it right back with a bases loaded walk, then walked three more in the ninth after Ernie Clement went deep to give the Jays yet another lead. Mason Fluharty, the youngest pitcher on the staff, had to bail Hoffman out, and did he ever. We go through all of it for you here in Deep Left Field - what happened, what it means, and who does what going forward as the Jays move into the final 43 games of the season.

So much to cover with DD; he was an All Star, a Silver Slugger winner, he hit a HR in his first World Series at bat. He also replaced Brooks Robinson, the beloved long time 3B in Baltimore.
