  • Apologist

    Too apologetic almost afraid to call players and coaches out. When he criticizes it’s very delicately. He’s quick to call fans out. The only time you can listen to his show is when the teams doing well. Show has a be positive vibe even as the team tanks

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

5-28-26 Lance with Alex Buchheit
Q: Where can listeners go to learn more or join in a Townball game?
Listeners can visit the official Townball site at 21stytownball.com, with social presence on Instagram under the same handle and a Discord channel for coordinating games, especially in the Cincinnati area.
5-28-26 Lance with Alex Buchheit
Q: What is Townball and how does it differ from baseball?
Townball originated as the Massachusetts game, featuring five bases, a physical strike zone, no foul territory, and there can be an unlimited number of innings; it was standardized later to be easier to understand, contrasting with baseball's three-strike, three-out, nine-inning format.
5-28-26 Lance with Travis Steele
Q: Scheduling was a hot topic around your team, how has the process gone this offseason?
It's been positive overall; mid-majors are getting more opportunities to play us as our program's profile has risen, and we're hopeful for better openings across the board despite the ongoing concerns from bigger conferences.
5-20-26 R+L Carriers Sports Talk with Lance McAlister
Q: Do you think the Reds gave Reese Hines enough chances to prove himself?
The caller and host argue yes and no; the Reds gave him multiple opportunities but limited at-bats, which some feel prevented him from showing what he could do, while others contend it was necessary to move on given the team's playoff expectations.
Lance with Billy O'Conner -- 5/19/26
Q: For fans who might not understand and appreciate the opportunity, explain Prasco Park and what it means to play the tournament there.
Prasco Park offers free admission and concessions, with food trucks and local nights, creating an inviting, family-friendly atmosphere that has transformed the environment from a small, sparse setup to a vibrant, energized home-field feel that benefits Xavier and their supporters.
