  • 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.

Do The Padres Need A New Approach?
Q: What is 'approach' in baseball, and does it really exist as a team-wide concept?
Boone explains that there is both a team-wide approach and an individual approach, and the best teams embed a simple, shared philosophy while allowing players to tailor their swings and decision-making to each at-bat.
The AL West Is Still Very Winnable For Texas
Q: Can you talk to us a little bit about Seeger's process and how unique or rare it is?
The process is very structured; he has a set routine, a lot of discipline, and a level of conditioning that lets him stay in the fight even when results aren't there right away.
Investigating The Phillies & Red Sox Firings With The Insiders
Q: What happened with the Phillies firing and how did players react?
The guests describe the firing as a change the front office felt was necessary, with players taking ownership of the situation and insisting the decision wasn't solely the manager's fault. They emphasize accountability among players and acknowledge the impact on team culture and leadership, noting Don Mattingly and the new staff as part of a shift in approach.
The New Method For Stealing Signs?
Q: What is the level of paranoia around signs in today's game compared to when you started?
Paranoia is much higher now due to advanced camera work, angles, and technology, which make it easier to catch signals; players adapt by changing tactics and relying on different telltale cues, while umpires police more stringently.
Boonie Bites: Emotional Stability
Q: How do you handle communication in the clubhouse to avoid frustration becoming visible to players?
The approach is to keep communications constructive, focus on what can be controlled, and ensure messages come from a trusted place, with the aim of supporting players rather than criticizing them publicly.
