  • The Absolute Best

    Randy and the crew do it better than anyone! I'm so glad he's found an outlet for his wealth of knowledge, spot-on insights, and all the other talents he brings as a broadcaster. Keep up the great work, everybody and THANK YOU!

    Note: if the ongoing audio issues could be cleaned up, that'd be super helpful.

    Tone/volume/audio quality inconsistencies often make it really hard to tune in.

    Lots of the issues seem to come from difficulty staying on mic; maybe have headsets with mics built in?

    That said, please don't invite Bernie Miklasz on as a guest. He's a terrific write, but is such an insufferable broadcaster.

    Without the guardrails/constraints of a physical newspaper (which no longer exists for him, I realize), he's incapable of having a baseball conv... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Small Change That Turned Jordan Walker Into a Slugger | Nate Schwartz from Pitcher List
Q: What is the key mechanical change Jordan Walker made this season that has unlocked his power?
Walker has flattened his swing slightly and improved his attack angle, allowing him to get under pitches more effectively and drive them for power, while his swing decisions have kept his contact quality strong.
“What’s Next For Jimmy Crooks” & Other Mid-Season Questions with Stefan Caray
Q: How far away is Rodriguez and should Bernal be moved to third base?
Rodriguez is viewed as a year away with Bernal potentially becoming a long-term defensive catcher; the discussion focused on evaluating who could shift positions (e.g., Herrera) and how to optimize defensive alignment while balancing development and immediate needs.
“What’s Next For Jimmy Crooks” & Other Mid-Season Questions with Stefan Caray
Q: What would you do with Jimmy Crooks?
We discussed the challenge of Crooks' playing time, his defensive development as a catcher, and the potential value he could bring in a trade package, noting that his overall value comes from his defense and control of the pitching staff, while acknowledging he may be far from a daily role at the major league level.
Randy Reacts to the Cardinals Extending Marmol | Mike Claiborne Live from Jupiter | Thomas to Utah?
Q: Claiborne, how are you doing, sir?
Claiborne responds that he is doing well and engages with the hosts about Marmol and the Cardinals' direction.
Doug Armstrong on Joel Hofer's Future and a Draft That Could Go Anywhere
Q: Were the Blues in on Brady Kachuk, the 26-year-old forward who was traded to the Panthers?
The Blues inquired with Ottawa, but Brady Kachuk had a small list of teams he would go to and we were not on that list.
