Jordan Walker is an All-Star. Twenty-one home runs, a 142 wRC+, and the breakout is officially real. Meanwhile, JJ Wetherholt — 9th in fWAR among all position players — got snubbed, and we have thoughts.The Cardinals lost four straight to the Brewers, who are perfectly built to expose this team's weaknesses. The wild card picture is tightening, the trade deadline is approaching, and the Pirates somehow have higher playoff odds despite being behind in the standings. Plus: Verlander retires, Kyle Leahy can't be explained.Have a question or comment for the show?

The path to today's guest has been an informative and enlightening one. What started as a search for one documentary on drink spiking by former guest Shirah Benarde's brand NightCap, led to the discovery of another powerful documentary about a sexual assault survivor called Lough Enough Surviving Justice. That led to two wonderful podcast conversations and a screening of the documentary in Scranton with a Q and A afterward with the film's director Hilary Klotz Steinman and an eye-opening conversation with Sabrina Hannon of WRC (another former guest on the show). Hilary's film is distributed by Women Make Movies, a nonprofit that for more than 45 years, has championed women filmmakers and their stories. WMM is the largest distributor of films by and about women in the world. When Hilary suggested I have WMM's Executive Director Debra Zimmerman as a guest, I jumped at the opportunity. Once Debra returned home from her internal travel to various film festivals, we recorded this week's incredible conversation about the importance of women standing up for other women, the compelling stories being told because of the work done by Women Make Movies, the pitfalls of imposter syndrome, and much more.

Easton Carmichael has quickly emerged as one of the most complete catching prospects in the Pittsburgh Pirates system. Jim and Anthony Murphy break down the 2025 third-round pick's advanced defense, quick release, contact-driven bat, athleticism, surprising speed and potential path to Double-A Altoona. Carmichael is hitting .300/.349/.500 with a 110 wRC+ for Greensboro while throwing out 22 of 77 attempted base stealers and stealing 11 bases of his own. Is he now the best pure catching prospect in the organization? Subscribe to Bucs On Deck: https://bucsondeck.substack.com/ North Shore Nine is presented by FanDuel.

Alex Stumpf joins NS9LIVE! to discuss Paul Skenes' current struggles and his nine-start losing streak. What has happened to the velocity, splinker and breaking pitches that made Skenes nearly unhittable, and is fatigue beginning to become a legitimate concern? The crew also breaks down the Pirates' catching situation as Endy Rodriguez continues to hit his way into a larger role. Then, they close the show with Esmerlyn Valdez, who has quickly become one of the most exciting Pirates rookies in years while producing a 191 wRC+ through his first 64 plate appearances.

El Rally de Acrópolis ha vuelto a demostrar por qué es una de las pruebas más duras del WRC. Analizamos la magistral victoria de Sébastien Ogier, que refuerza su candidatura al título en una temporada donde la supervivencia ha sido la clave. Repasamos el dominio del francés, el papel de los neumáticos Hankook y la preocupante situación de seguridad tras los incidentes con los aficionados en los tramos.

En l'edició de esta setmana repassem amb Fran Lucas el Ral·li Acropolis al WRC, a la Fórmula 1 el GP Àustria amb la previa del GP Gran Bretanya, i amb Jose Ramón Sola el GP Països Baixos de Moto GP. Motor a punt és el repàs a l'actualitat del món del motor de dos i quatre rodes, amb noticies, resultats, classificacions, anàlisi dels grans premis i circuits, tertúlia amb un extens planter de col·laboradors i molt més. Presentat i dirigit per Iñaki Martínez.

La Fórmula 1 no se detiene. Después de una carrera interesante en Austria, el campeonato llega esta semana a Silverstone, uno de esos circuitos que forman parte de la identidad misma del Mundial. Y, por si fuera poco, hay que analizar lo ocurrido en Grecia en el WRC, con un Ogier inmenso. Muchos temas para el segundo episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1. Silverstone, sin solución de continuidad. La cuna de la F1 vuelve a aparecer en el calendario en un momento especialmente atractivo: Mercedes viene de ganar, Red Bull ha dado señales de reacción, Ferrari necesita responder y McLaren tiene una oportunidad importante para volver a mirar más arriba. Y todo ello sin descanso: tendremos 4 carreras en 5 semanas, y esta es la segunda. Silverstone no es un circuito cualquiera. Sus curvas rápidas, sus cambios de apoyo y su exigencia aerodinámica obligan a los equipos a enseñar la calidad real de sus coches. No basta con tener buena tracción ni con defenderse en recta. Hace falta un monoplaza estable, eficiente, con confianza en curva rápida y capaz de sostener el neumático en una vuelta muy exigente. Secuencias como Maggotts, Becketts y Chapel siguen siendo uno de los grandes exámenes del calendario. No es casualidad que Lewis Hamilton, el piloto con más victorias en Silverstone, haya comparado la sensación de pilotar allí con estar en la cabina de un avión de combate. Las fuerzas laterales son altísimas, los cambios de dirección llegan a gran velocidad y el margen de error es muy pequeño. Gran Bretaña, una prueba reveladora. Austria dejó una sensación positiva: hubo adelantamientos más naturales, batallas apurando la frenada y menos protagonismo visible del clipping y el superclipping. Silverstone planteará otra pregunta. Si Spielberg permitió ver una Fórmula 1 más cercana a la que gusta al aficionado, el trazado británico dirá si esa mejoría puede sostenerse en un circuito de alta carga y velocidad sostenida. Mercedes llega con la moral reforzada tras la victoria de George Russell y el podio de Kimi Antonelli. El equipo alemán sigue siendo la referencia, pero la pelea interna entre sus pilotos y las dudas de fiabilidad han dejado grietas durante las últimas semanas. Silverstone, por sus características, debería ser un buen lugar para medir si el coche conserva una ventaja real en curva rápida o si sus rivales han reducido el margen. Red Bull también llega con más interés que en carreras anteriores. Max Verstappen terminó segundo en Austria y el equipo mostró señales de mejora con sus actualizaciones. No parece todavía el Red Bull dominante de otros años, pero sí un coche más cerca de competir por algo importante. En Silverstone, donde la aerodinámica pesa tanto, se verá mejor si esa reacción es sólida o sólo fue una buena adaptación a Spielberg. Ferrari y McLaren: muchas dudas. Ferrari, en cambio, necesita recomponerse. La victoria de Lewis Hamilton en Barcelona abrió expectativas que Austria enfrió con rapidez. El quinto puesto del británico y el octavo de Charles Leclerc dejaron la sensación de que la Scuderia sigue sin encontrar una regularidad clara. Silverstone será una prueba delicada: si Ferrari vuelve a estar lejos, Montmeló empezará a parecer más una excepción que un cambio de tendencia. McLaren también tiene mucho que decir. El equipo británico está sumando, pero necesita convertir su presencia constante en resultados más fuertes. En casa, y en un circuito donde la eficiencia aerodinámica puede jugar un papel decisivo, Norris y Piastri deberían aspirar a algo más que estar cerca. Silverstone puede ser una oportunidad, pero también una medida severa de sus límites actuales. Silverstone según Pirelli. Pirelli llevará la gama más dura, C1, C2 y C3, una elección lógica para un trazado que somete a los neumáticos a cargas laterales muy altas. La gestión de la degradación volverá a ser clave, especialmente si las temperaturas acompañan. Por otro lado, Silverstone no suele perdonar a los coches que no cuidan bien las gomas en curvas largas y rápidas. Ogier se lleva una de las pruebas más duras. Mientras la Fórmula 1 mira ya hacia Gran Bretaña, el Mundial de Rallies viene de una de sus pruebas más duras. El Rally Acrópolis volvió a hacer honor a su fama. Grecia no perdona, y esta edición recordó por qué se le considera uno de los grandes rompecoches del calendario: calor, piedras, polvo, pinchazos, averías y una exigencia constante sobre mecánicas y neumáticos. En ese escenario, Sébastien Ogier volvió a imponer su ley. El francés ganó el rally, se llevó el Súper Domingo y también la Power Stage. Hizo pleno en una prueba donde no gana necesariamente quien más corre, sino quien sabe combinar velocidad, paciencia y supervivencia. Ogier sigue siendo, cuando aparece, una referencia difícil de discutir. Thierry Neuville estuvo muy cerca de llevarse la victoria. Hyundai mostró una solvencia inesperada en Grecia y el belga tuvo el triunfo al alcance de la mano, pero un pinchazo en el penúltimo tramo cambió el desenlace. El Acrópolis tiene precisamente eso: puedes construir un rally enorme y perderlo todo en unos kilómetros. Solberg, Evans y Katsuta. La prueba dejó también accidentes y errores, como el de Oliver Solberg, cuya velocidad sigue siendo evidente pero cuya gestión en rallies tan duros continúa generando dudas. En Grecia, el talento no basta. Hay que saber levantar, cuidar y entender que terminar también es competir. Y, por otro lado, Grecia tampoco premia a quien abre pista… como fue el caso de Evans. Buena prueba, pero muy condicionada por su posición en el Campeonato. Katsuta, por su parte, este año está pletórico: hizo un gran Rally, sin errores y sin mala suerte, subiéndose al podio. Para Toyota, el resultado refuerza una posición ya muy sólida. En cualquier caso, hay algo claro: Ogier no necesita disputar todo el campeonato para condicionar la temporada. Cada vez que aparece, altera el equilibrio y obliga a sus rivales a elevar el nivel. Si mantiene este estado de forma, sus adversarios tienen motivos para preocuparse. Y es que, en Grecia, Ogier recordó que en los escenarios más duros sigue siendo el maestro. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

The Pirates entered 2026 hoping an average offense would be enough to support their pitching. Instead, the offense has become the strength of the team. After finishing 2025 with an 82 wRC+, the Pirates are up to 110 this season, ranking second in baseball and producing at a level comparable to the 1971 Lumber Company. Alex Stumpf breaks down the historic improvement, the depth throughout the lineup and why falling behind no longer feels like an automatic loss. Alex also examines Endy Rodriguez's simplified swing, the early impact of Esmerlyn Valdez and Konnor Griffin, and why unexpected production from the rookies has raised the ceiling of the entire offense.

From her work in government to startups, Mindel says one through line has been a passion for finding ways to provide service to unserved and underserved communities, which she now gets to see firsthand as D2D expands around the world.

Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah discuss if Formula 1 is broken...and if Carlos Sainz's fix is one of many possibilities. In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah dive into one of the wildest ideas in Formula One: what if drivers had to switch teams every few races? Inspired by Carlos Sainz's suggestion, the discussion gets into the biggest question in modern F1 — is the sport still too dependent on the car, or can the driver be brought back to the center of the championship? The conversation explores how much of Formula One is about engineering, team politics, brand identity, and raw driver talent. From Lewis Hamilton's resurgence at Ferrari to the dominance of Red Bull, the hosts debate whether equal cars, simpler machinery, shorter setup time, and reduced in-season development would create more exciting racing. They also compare F1 with MotoGP, IndyCar, WRC, and Formula 2, asking what Formula One could learn from other motorsport categories. This is a fun, high-energy, and opinionated deep dive into the future of Formula One — and whether the sport should lean more toward spectacle, fairness, or engineering excellence. The episode also features reactions to fan comments and plenty of back-and-forth on some seriously outrageous ideas, including reverse grids, equal engines, and even team-wide driver rotation. If you love Formula One debates, racing opinions, and bold takes on how to make the sport more entertaining, this episode is for you.

A closer look at Max Muncy's 2026 season, during which he has been arguably the best third baseman in the National League, and in line for a potential third All-Star Game appearance. Muncy leads all NL third basemen in home runs (16), runs scored (46), on-base percentage (.371), slugging percentage (.532), OPS (.903), wRC+ (151), Outs Above Average (+5), and FanGraphs WAR (2.9). His 225 home runs with the Dodgers are just three shy of fifth-most in franchise history. Plus, Shohei Ohtani's Cy Young Award chances against Jacob Misiorowski, Cristopher Sánchez, and others, and a look at the Dodgers schedule facing four American League teams in a row.

The Pirates scored just 26 runs while going 2-4 against the Dodgers and Marlins. Jim and DiNardo discuss how much the offense is missing Oneil Cruz and Konnor Griffin and whether this lineup has enough depth to survive without them. Joey Bart appears close to returning, which creates another decision behind the plate. Will Henry Davis continue catching, or has Endy Rodriguez earned a bigger opportunity with a 126 wRC+ this season? They also break down the Pirates' handling of Carmen Mlodzinski. Using him almost exclusively as a scheduled reliever following Jared Jones limits someone who could become a legitimate high-leverage weapon for this bullpen. @eddiep_photos TICKETS FOR OUR JUNE 13TH TAILGATE: https://www.gofevo.com/event/Northshore9tailgate0613 Use Promo Code NS930 for 30% off your first order at https://www.defer.coffee Use Promo Code NORTHSHORENINE for $20 off your first order at https://www.seatgeek.com LIKE and SUBSCRIBE with NOTIFICATIONS ON if you enjoyed the show!

Send us Fan MailThe 2026 NC State baseball season is over. 32-24. Fourteen wins in ACC play. Zero road series wins. A second straight early exit in the Auburn Regional.So what actually happened?In Part 1 of this two-part series, Greg and Ethan pull no punches on the full season breakdown. They start where every honest conversation has to start — did this team meet expectations? Coming in as a top-15 program with what looked like the most talented roster in years, the answer is complicated. And the reasons why are even more so.They dig into the offensive identity crisis that plagued this team all year — a roster built for speed that rarely ran, and supposedly built for power that finished second to last in the ACC in home runs. The DH carousel that went unsolved for the second straight season. The Brayden Freeman decision that lingered too long. The Andrew Wiggins debate, was he the problem or was he exactly what he was always going to be? And the Chris McHugh 74 wRC+ that nobody in the fanbase wants to talk about.Then there's the schedule. Greg and Ethan make the case that NC State went five years without playing a true power-conference non-conference opponent on a weekend, and why that has to change in the Chris Hart era. The Puerto Rico trip was fun. Lafayette and Princeton were not a schedule.They close Part 1 on the pitching staff, the injuries to Jacob Dudan and Ryan Marone that derailed the Omaha dream, the freshman pitchers thrown into the fire too early, the Consiglio versus Andrews rotation confusion that went two months too long, and why Anderson Nance being moved into the starting rotation felt like a panic move rather than a plan.Part 2 covers Elliott Avent's full legacy, the Chris Hart era, and everything coming in the offseason.Tuffy Talk is NC State's home for sports talk, hot takes, and everything Wolfpack.

Is it officially time to rage drop Tanner Bibee after another blowout, or do the metrics suggest a major bounce-back is coming? Episode Summary Joe Bond and AJ Applegarth break down the top waiver wire adds, brutal drops, and key rankings movers for Week 10 of the fantasy baseball season. The crew details why pitchers like Shota Imanaga and Nolan McLean are sliding down the rankings, and explains why struggling stars like Bo Bichette represent key buy-low opportunities rather than panic drops. Week 10 Fantasy Baseball Advanced Analytics & Strategic Breakdown The fantasy baseball landscape is shifting rapidly as we head into Week 10, requiring managers to separate raw surface statistics from true predictive indicators. The focal point of this week's analysis centers on Cleveland Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee, whose disastrous outing against the Washington Nationals exposed massive vulnerabilities. Surrendering seven earned runs and an astounding five home runs over just three innings of work on Memorial Day sent shockwaves through fantasy rosters. Looking into his broader trajectory, a disturbing multi-year pattern emerges. Bibee's surface ERA has progressively climbed from 2.98 to 3.47, then to 4.24, and now sits at 4.57 for the season. Coupled with a 4.16 SIERA and a strikeout rate dropping below one punchout per inning, Bibee can no longer be viewed as an un-droppable asset. His underlying numbers indicate he has transitioned into a volatile, matchup-dependent option rather than a reliable rotation anchor. Pitching volatility dominates the landscape this week, highlighted by prominent rankings fallers Shota Imanaga and Nolan McLean. While some fantasy managers might react with panic to their downward slide in the rankings, it is crucial to analyze the shift structurally rather than assuming true skill regression. Shota Imanaga's dip reflects an expected correction after an incredibly hot stretch, making it an adjustment based on stabilizing underlying metrics. Meanwhile, Nolan McLean's slide serves as a reminder of how quickly pitching depth charts and small-sample performance can fluctuate in standard rankings models. Separating these structural rankings adjustments from complete profile collapses is what allows sharp managers to maximize their pitching rotations while others panic-drop viable assets. Conversely, the advanced data reveals lucrative buy-low windows for targets experiencing acute misfortune. Oakland Athletics slugger Brent Rooker stands out as a prime trade target despite a freezing cold spell that dragged his batting average down to .189 with a 52:17 strikeout-to-walk ratio. While his standard Savant page flashes concerning blue metrics, Rooker boasts a consistent multi-year track record of crossing the 30-home-run threshold. In an era where league-wide batting averages are depressed, maintaining a true 30-homer profile provides massive utility, making him an ideal target while his market value is rock bottom. Similarly, managers must remain disciplined with elite foundational bats like Freddie Freeman and Bo Bichette. Freeman's minor dip in the rankings represents a normal structural variation rather than a fundamental degradation of his elite plate discipline. Bo Bichette is another prime example of why surface-level struggles should not trigger a panic drop. While he appears as a "Homer Pick Drop" focus on the show due to recent visual adjustments and shifting team dynamics, his long-term track record remains undeniable. Bichette is not a true skills-based rankings faller to cut loose; instead, the underlying metrics suggest he remains an elite bounce-back candidate. Treating his depressed batting average as a structural buying window rather than a permanent anchor allows you to secure an elite infielder before his inevitable positive statistical correction occurs. On the waiver wire front, uncovering values requires a sharp focus on expected metrics and situational deployment. Washington Nationals starter Cade Cavalli has emerged as a high-priority addition, exhibiting elite command over his last three starts spanning 19.3 innings. Cavalli has posted a stellar 2.79 ERA, a 1.03 WHIP, and a spectacular 2.44 SIERA alongside 24 strikeouts—highlighted by consecutive 10-strikeout performances against Atlanta and the Mets. Backed by a highly potent Nationals offense, his run support floor remains high. Meanwhile, deep-league infielder options like Chase Meidroth of the Chicago White Sox and Blaze Alexander of the Baltimore Orioles offer flexible, multi-position eligibility. Meidroth benefits from hitting near the top of a White Sox lineup that unexpectedly ranks as the eighth-best offense by wRC+. Alexander provides elite short-term streaming upside, slashing .344 with a .913 OPS since mid-May, offering short-term category boosts while navigating structural gaps in the fantasy infield.

The Pittsburgh Pirates offense has been night and day compared to last season. They're top five in baseball in runs scored, and six everyday players currently have a wRC+ of 115 or higher. On this episode of Bucco Brew, we break down what has changed, how real this offensive surge feels, and why this version of the Pirates looks so much more dangerous. We also give Braxton Ashcraft the love he deserves. With a 2.77 ERA and the team lead in innings pitched, Ashcraft has been one of the best stories of the Pirates season. If Paul Skenes wasn't in the same rotation, we might be talking about Ashcraft as the ace of this staff. Then we get into the biggest concern right now: the bullpen. Gregory Soto has been lights out, but beyond him, who do you actually trust? Dennis Santana and the rest of this group have been more than inconsistent lately, and the Pirates need answers fast.

The Cardinals are 14-10 and playing better than most people expected. They swept the Astros, the young core is slugging — 11th in MLB in home runs — but the pitching is still the worst K/9 in baseball and the bullpen is a ticking time bomb.Masyn Winn might be waking up. Ten hits in a week, a Crawford Box homer, career-high walk rates, and three steals already on the season. We dig into whether this is the start of the offensive evolution we've been waiting for, and whether a 117 wRC+ is the version of Masyn that makes him a perennial All-Star.Jordan Walker had his first real cold stretch — 12 strikeouts in six games, no home runs since last week. But Ben digs under the hood and the underlying metrics still look real: same attack angle, same bat speed, still hitting the ball hard. We talk about why you shouldn't panic, what the strikeout rate means for his streakiness going forward, and why that full-count at-bat last night was actually a sign of growth.Plus: Nathan Church is coming alive at the plate, José Fermín played center field for some reason, Victor Scott's offensive floor is a concern, Dustin May put together his two best starts of the season, Jurrangelo Cijntje switch-pitched in an actual game, Dickie Fitts needs season-ending lat surgery, and Ben returns from Coachella with a full field report including Bob Baker Marionettes, Korean steak kimchi fries, and a disappointing Moby set.We close with a new game: Rotation Rotation, where we draft the five non-Cardinals teams we're watching the most right now.Have a question or comment for the show?
