The Miz is throwing GAS we've never seen before! Ohtani the ace! Yankees could have ANOTHER pitching problem! (Episode 1456 Hour 1) May 14, 2026

Show notes

Today’s word of the day is ‘flamethrower’ as in Jacob Misiorowski as in Brewers as in torch as in speed as in velocity. He is doing things we’ve never seen in the game before. He holds the top 9 spots for fastest pitches by a starter since at least 2008. Just in awe of what he is doing. (9:00) Shohei Ohtani is just amazing. I just keep saying it. Another pitching outing where he goes seven innings and doesn’t allow a run. (15:50) The Yankees have a pitching problem. Max Fried got pulled from his start with an elbow issue. Say it ain’t so. He has been the most consistent pitcher for the Yankees over the last two seasons. This team cannot afford to lose someone like him. (22:30) The Marlins top prospect is hurt. Rob Snelling started just one game for the Marlins and now has a UCL problem. Uh oh. (27:31) The Cavaliers stole it from the Pistons. Just a meltdown by Detroit. Cleveland now leads the series 3-2 and gets Game 6 at home. (35:11) Review: The Drama. (37:22) NPPOD. (48:00) NFL schedule release. How fun!

Today’s word of the day is ‘ultramarathon’ as in not a sprint as in not a marathon as in CBA as in MLB as in MLBPA. Let the games begin. The league office and the union are starting to meets.

Show notes

Today’s word of the day is ‘alphaville’ as in forever young as in LeBron James as in the Lakers as in the Heat as in the Cavaliers as in a legend. The 41-year old was eliminated from the playoffs on Monday night. Swept by the Thunder. Where does LeBron go now? What does he do? What a career. (14:00) The Cavaliers have tied the series against the Pistons. Donovan Mitchell had a historic run in the 2nd half. Pistons head coach JB Bickerstaff was FURIOUS over the free throw shooting disparity. (23:40) Wemby did NOT get suspended. One ejection was good enough for the league.

More ABS problems! Dodgers slumping! Yankees are okay! Murakami Madness! (Episode 1453 Hour 2) May 11, 2026

Show notes

ABS is still causing problems. There were two in the same game against both the Orioles and Athletics. What happens when you want to challenge a pitch, but the umpire says no? (12:30) The Dodgers are slumping. The Braves are flexing. Is this a real issue for LA? Ohtani, Freeman, and Tucker are just cold right now. (21:35) The Brewers swept the Yankees. The Brewers are now 3.5 back of the Cubs. Are the Yankees in trouble or is it just another bad series? (27:00) Are the Cubs for real? The team has had two 10-game win streaks this season already! Yes, they have been great at home and average on the road. Yes, the pitching is as hurt as hurt can be. But come on, results matter! (32:10) Murakami has been a dream for the White Sox. Just a stud at the plate. Home run after home run. (37:00) This one I have never seen before. A Padres top prospect has self-deported back to Mexico after being caught smuggling humans across the border. Excuse me? (42:50) Tennis Grand Slam drama?
