Ryan Dempster, Brock Holt are running the Boston Marathon Jan 27, 2023

Show notes

It's one thing to run down the baseline, sprint over to cover first or even try and steal a base, but when it comes to using your legs as a baseball player usually 26.2 miles don't enter into the equation. Well, Ryan Dempster and Brock Holt are attempting to break the mold by running this year's Boston Marathon. Dempster and Holt joined Bradfo to offer their motivations behind taking on such a challenge, how they currently feel about the endeavor, and what might be in store for each. And, of course, there are some great stories along the way.

The brilliance of Batting Stance Guy Jan 26, 2023

Show notes

He has mesmerized David Letterman, Major League Baseball players, and virtually anybody who grew up loving to imitate their baseball-playing heroes. He is Gar Ryness, known to those in baseball circles as "Batting Stance Guy". Gar is routinely called upon by big league clubs to entertain both the players and their fans. This time he is bringing smiles to the faces of podcast listeners everywhere thanks to a sit-down with Bradfo. The pair look back at how the guy who simply imitates batting stances became so popular, landing on the Letterman show while writing books and holding court for the rich and famous. They also take a look at the modern-day batting stances, and who is helping make a name for themselves thanks to Gar and his uncanny ability to mirror anyone holding a baseball bat. It's a long one, but a fun one.

Mind games with Joey Votto, Garrett Whitlock Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

Chess. It's a game that some would suggest requires the same kind of patience, discipline and strategy as baseball. If any two people knew how much that might be true it would be Joey Votto and Garrett Whitlock. The Reds star and Red Sox pitcher join Bradfo for a fascinating discussion on the game both players have dove head-first into, with Votto taking his experiences with his own chess community to social media for everyone to enjoy. There is also some good Hall of Fame talk. It's a podcast you won't soon forget.

The lesson of Christian Arroyo Jan 24, 2023

Show notes

Christian Arroyo was a first-round pick. He made the majors at the age of 22 years old. A year later he though he had his big chance with his hometown team in Tampa. That didn't work out. Next up was Cleveland. That didn't work out. Next up was the Red Sox. He still hasn't got his big opportunity to start ... until now. Arroyo is currently slotted as the Red Sox second baseman due in part to Trevor Story's injury. The 27-year-old sits down with Bradfo to discuss the lessons he has learned - and others can learn - from going through his kind of roller coaster of a career. This is oftentimes what being a baseball player is all about.

Show notes

You think you knew social media and Major League Baseball? Forget about it. The dynamic with how teams and players approach the likes of Instagram and TikTok has changed significantly over the past few years, landing in a place that demands more creativity and participation.

Top Pirates pitching prospect Mike Burrows takes the Rich Hill masterclass Jan 18, 2023

Show notes

It's not every day you get a chance to experience the mentoring of a 13-year major league veteran with a new up-and-coming teammate. But that's exactly what this podcast delivered, with new Pirate Rich Hill meeting 23-year-old Mike Burrows, one of Pittsburgh's top pitching prospects for the first time. What transpired was the kind of advice and guidance that is usually reserved for the secrecy of the clubhouse or out on the baseball field. Burrows ultimately might even teach Hill how to maximize his Instagram account. It's a behind-the-curtain look into how knowledge is passed down.

Celebrating the Orioles' chaos with @editti22 Jan 17, 2023
