  • Introduction Suggestion

    Shouldn’t the introduction be “Often imitated but never replicated”?

  • Boonie can’t resist making it about him

    I love this podcast but I can’t get over how Boone always has to bring the storyline back to him. Most anecdotes are interesting, but it very often kills the mojo of the conversation. The guest shares something cool but instead of asking a follow up question to take the point deeper, he steers it back to himself adding how that story relates to his career. Just wish he’d ask the follow up question to the guest so it goes deeper, but still love the podcast.

  • Jim Day Interview

    I’ve always wondered what happened to Bret Boone. Well I was glad to catch Jim Day’s interview on Saturday during one of the innings. I was glad to hear of his Podcast he has and subscribed to it. Really enjoyed when both Bret and Aaron played for the Reds. They both brought a lot of energy and excitement to the team. Course now Bob Boone was a little before my time. A lot of baseball history with the Boone family. Their one of six third generation MLB families. Look forward to listening to Bret... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Trade Deadline Episode
Q: From a GM's perspective, when is the drop-dead time to decide if you should be a buyer or a seller?
Bowden emphasizes that the decision should be clear well before the deadline; if you're unsure by then, you should reconsider leadership and perhaps the GM role itself. The idea is to balance short-term playoff hopes with long-term organizational health and to avoid emotional decisions late in the season.
Boonie Bites: Dusty Baker's All-Time Charisma
Q: What is Dusty Baker most proud of in his career and life?
He emphasizes perseverance, sharing what he's learned with others, and the importance of family milestones and giving back as the core sources of pride.
Bret Boone The Soccer Star?
Q: Did your dad push you into baseball, or was this what you wanted to do?
There was no pressure to play baseball; his support was about whatever we chose to pursue, and Boone reflects on growing up in a family of athletes with positive, hands-off guidance.
Who Will Buyers Or Sellers At The Trade Deadline?
Q: What do you think the Yankees need at the trade deadline?
The consensus is that a premier bullpen arm or closer would be the biggest upgrade to stabilize late-inning situations, with additional help possibly in the middle infield depending on performance and health.
Who Will Buyers Or Sellers At The Trade Deadline?
Q: What is your read on the current clubhouse dynamics and the lockout situation?
Hoch describes a high-stakes, back-and-forth environment where both sides are posturing, and emphasizes staying focused on the game on the field while the front office negotiates the off-field issues.
