*Not* a reference to Tommy Pham, but he does appear in Police Blotter for possibly a record-setting time. Our fantasy team infields continue to make news with Pottymouth contemplating Rice from Wong and Patti finally covering 3B. Christian Walker heats up, Eugenio Suarez makes some noise, Wyatt Langford is back with a bang, and Pete CA can't stop taking it to the Dodgers. Again we make with the City Connect opinions including agreeing with Sweetart references and feeling groovy. We crosstrain with the first ever Final Four Inclusion Clinic and encourage you to give a listen to the Queer Women in Sports panel.We say, “Jameson is on my team and I will celebrate appropriately,” “hand gesture below the waist,” and “Georgia O'Keefe Oyster Catcher thing.” 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.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): With the University of Florida winning the men's basketball national championship we felt it was a good time to have a conversation with one of the school's most notable baseball-playing alumni, Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford. Bradfo catches up with Langford to reflect on how life has changed since becoming the 2023 fourth overall pick. Bradfo also takes a look back at the "Paul Skenes Draft" and which players (besides Langford) have started to distinguished themselves.

The reason torpedo bats are a thing is because they are not called bowling pin bats. Patti catches you up on all things torpedo. It seems like all the cool kids are getting contact extensions and we float a few more contenders. Pottymouth wants to complete her Walker set and Patti just wants a complete infield. Profar is a deep disappointment, and Ian Happ is still making us coffee 1000 games later. It's that episode where we make our terrible predictions but we can't not. Once again one of your hosts goes with heart and the other one wants to not lose. The WooSox give us Women in Sports Day proving we should never need to hear “Ladies Night” at a ballpark again. Kelsie goes for another first, and you've got an Eastern Womens Baseball Conference reading assignment. Pottymouth models how to constructively deal when terrible humans end up on your favorite team. Also, sell your Tesla.We say, “he kept losing his patron saint of travel,” “You tell me you don't have any tattoos but I don't believe you,” and, “Some of our best friends are Canadians with basements.” 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.

Watch Off the Bench Presented by UDF with Chatterbox Sports Monday-Friday 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. LIVE on the Chatterbox Sports YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE to the channel to ensure you never miss a thing. On April 2, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds face the Texas Rangers in the decisive third game of their series at Great American Ball Park, with first pitch set for 12:40 PM EDT. After splitting the first two games, the Reds aim to secure their first series win of the young season. The series opener saw Cincinnati's offense erupt for a 14-3 victory, powered by Elly De La Cruz's two home runs and seven RBIs, alongside Brady Singer's seven shutout innings in his Reds debut. However, the Rangers bounced back in Game 2, with Nathan Eovaldi delivering a masterful complete-game shutout, allowing just four hits in a 1-0 win, evening the series. Today's matchup features Reds right-hander Hunter Greene (0-0, 3.60 ERA) against Rangers righty Jack Leiter (1-0, 1.80 ERA). Greene, coming off a solid first start, will look to harness his electric fastball to stifle Texas' lineup, which has struggled offensively outside of Wyatt Langford's solo homer in Game 2. Leiter, fresh off his first MLB win, brings momentum but faces a Reds offense that showcased its potential in the opener. Cincinnati's key hitters, like De La Cruz and Gavin Lux, will need to solve Leiter early to avoid another quiet day at the plate. The Reds' pitching staff has shown promise, but consistency remains a question after Spiers' loss in Game 2. Defensively, Cincinnati must tighten up after De La Cruz's error in the field last night. With a daytime start and 67-degree weather in Cincinnati, conditions favor a competitive game. A Reds win would signal early-season resilience, while the Rangers hope to ride Eovaldi's momentum and steal the series on the road. Expect a tight contest as both teams vie for the upper hand in this final showdown.

Welcome to Episode 68 of Tablesetters! For nearly a decade, the Houston Astros have controlled the AL West—but the tides may be shifting.

Are they making a last-ditch playoff push or delaying the inevitable rebuild? We'll also debate:

Welcome back to another episode of Benched with Bubba. On BwB EP 738 Bubba (@bdentrek) will be joined by Ben Tidd (@BreakingBen_T) to talk about the 2025 fantasy baseball projections and making comparisons and difference between them. Some Players Discussed- Jarren Duran Michael Harris II Wyatt Langford Lawrence Butler Ezequiel Tovar Josh Naylor Willy Adames Vinnie Pasquantino
Welcome to Episode 62 of TableSetters! Today, we're joined by Jared Sandler, one of the radio and TV voices of the Texas Rangers on 105.3 The Fan & Rangers Sports Network. As the Rangers prepare for the 2025 season, Jared takes us behind the scenes with insight into the team's biggest storylines, fresh faces, and high expectations. We discuss Jared's journey from multi-sport athlete to broadcaster, his experience working alongside Ford C. Frick Award winner Eric Nadel, and what he learned from legends like Bob Uecker. Jared also shares what it was like being part of the Rangers' 2023 World Series-winning season and how last year's team differed from the championship squad. The conversation shifts to key players, including Jacob deGrom's return from injury and how critical he is to the Rangers' rotation. We examine Evan Carter's back issues and whether he can regain his 2023 form, as well as Wyatt Langford's next step in his development. Jared breaks down how additions like Joc Pederson and Jake Burger could impact the lineup and whether the Rangers' offseason moves have positioned them for another deep postseason run. We also discuss the closer situation following the losses of Kirby Yates and David Robertson, the potential role of Kumar Rocker in 2025, and which returning stars need bounce-back seasons for the Rangers to contend. Jared shares his thoughts on the Rangers' new streaming deal with Victory+ and how it affects the broadcast team. We also dive into broader baseball topics, including the biggest threats in the AL West and whether the Yankees are still the team to beat despite losing Juan Soto. To wrap things up, we discuss Jared's work with the Sandlot Children's Charity, his relationship with the passionate Rangers fanbase, and his personal broadcasting goals moving forward. Follow Jared on X @JaredSandler and catch him on Rangers broadcasts all season long.

Fantasy Baseball Live – February 9, 2025 @ 3 PM ETSegment 1 – News and Notes1.The Mets re-upped with Pete Alonso on a two-year deal. The league has learned its lesson from hulking First Base sluggers like Alonso, and consequently, it's become more challenging for them to land the big contract.a.Your thoughts on the deal. Are there any changes at all in where you draft him2.Phew. Jack Flaherty managers give a sigh of relief when he re-upped with the Tigers for a two-year deal that is front-loaded with an opt-out. So, assuming he doesn't get hurt, he'll likely opt out. a.Will he be more of the 2024 version on the 2022-23 pitcher? 3.The Angels were at it again, signing Yoan Moncada to a one-year, $5 million contract. a.This is why I'm so critical of the Angels. This is a dumb deal to me. He hasn't been able to stay healthy, and if it weren't for a .406-fueled 2019 season, where he hit 25 home runs and batted.315, I'm not sure anybody would be thinking about him. Not to lead the witness, but what do you think? Am I all wet?4.Well the Tirso Ornelas came crashing down when the Padres signed the power-couple duo of Jason Heyward and Connor Joe. Oh well. Thoughts.Segment 2 – AL West1.Houston Astrosa.Isaac Paredes 2025 stat line: HR, RBI, and BAi.Will he be a downgrade from Alex Bregman, upgrade, or about the same?b.Chas McCormack (608.80 ADP), Jake Meyers (611.36), and Taylor Trammell (750.51) are the projected starting outfield. We've discussed previously about how weak it is. Do you have any interest?i.Over/Under Pedro Leon of 200 ABsc.Luis Garcia had TJS in 2023 and should be a full go this spring. In his last full season in 2022, he was pretty good. His ADP is 365. Is he a sneaky add in a draft?d.Spencer Arrighetti pitched to a 5.63 ERA in the first half and a 3.18 in the second. His batting average against went from .268 to .226. Any interest. His ADP is 216.9e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)2.Los Angeles Angelsa.True or False. Mike Trout will win a World Series with the Angels before his career ends.i.Stat line for Trout: AB, HR, SB, BAb.Jo Adell's ADP is 290.89 and he's going as the 71st outfielder off the board. He hits the ball extremely hard and sprint speed in the 86th percentile. There is going to be pressure on his batting average as he doesn't make great contact. However, if he gets playing time, isn't there 20-20 potential here?i.Will he get the playing time?c.Yoan Moncada stat line for 2025: AB, HR, and BAd.Nolan Schanuel – Over/Under 15 home runse.Is Kikuchi more like the Astros version in 2025 or more like the “every other” season for the Angels in 2025?i.We will look at where he's going in drafts.f.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)3.Athleticsa.Tyler Soderstrom was a top prospect for several years, but has yet to establish himself in the Majors. Will he this year or will Kurtz beat him to the punch?i.Nick Kurtz 2025 stat line: AB, HR, BAb.Lawrence Butler went 22 and 18 in 451 PAs last year. Over/Under 50 combined SB and HR for 2025?c.Who would you rather roster: Luis Severino (290.0) or Jeffrey Springs (239.3)?d.Will Mason Miller be on the Athletics on August 1?e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)4.Seattle Marinersa.In one of our Dynasty League startups, I considered drafting Victor Robles but couldn't pull the trigger. I studied the data, and while he stole 34 bases last season, he's not a burner with sprint speeds in the 63rd percentile. A .370 BABIP drove his .307 batting average, and given his poor exit velocity, I don't see that sticking or much power. Am I too low on Robles? I don't get the hype, as he's going as the 49th OF off the board. b.One of our Patreon members reminded me that we don't talk enough about Seattle's poor hit park factors (T-Mobile). It's last in the league. Should this give you pause at the draft table for guys like J-Rod, Raleigh, and Arozarena?c.Will Julio Rodriguez be drafted in the first round in 2026?d.Do you think the Mariners should trade one of their big starters for some offense? If so, who would you suggest?i.An ideal trading partner would be the Orioles.e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)5.Texas Rangersa.Evan Carter state line for 2025: AB, HR, SB, and BAi. Will he be a full-time or platoon player by mid-season?b.Adolis Garcia had a down season in 2025. Although his speed has decreased, he still hits the ball extremely hard. Do you think he's more of a 30 to 35-home-run guy or a 25-home-run guy with pressure on his batting average?i.We will look at where he is being drafted and look at other players around himc.Do we see the break out of Wyatt Langford in 2025?i.He will be _______________ round pick in 2026.d.RosterResource lists Chris Martin as the closer in Texas. Are you buying that?e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)
Josh Norris and JJ Cooper are here to talk about the Rangers' farm system.
