  Jul 13, 202656 minS4

  Cycles and No-Hitters Still Have Import and Joe Sewell's Numbers May Just Fall Short

  Jun 29, 20261h 16mS4

  This week we discuss baseball performance oddities. Of the well known ones such as the Cycle or a Perfect Game are some more impressive than others and do any of them still deserve the reverence they get? For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss Phil Niekro's 3000th strikeout and the knuckleballer as a concept. How hard is it to be a good knuckleballer and is there any room for that kind of pitcher in modern baseball? Our Hall of Famer this week is infielder Joe Sewell. His numbers are good, but in an era such as the 1920s, were they good enough to stand out and included in the HOF? In our singlular parting shot this week discusses the ongoing tension between the players and the owners with the end of the CBA looming. Enjoy our new crop of weekly commercials featuring Sewell's Cleveland Indians with, "The Ball", Kenny Lofton for Taco Bell, and Jonathan Winters for Channel 43!

  Manager Quality Hard To Pin Down and Roger Connor's Greatness Deserves More Renown

  Jun 8, 20261h 13mS4

  This week we discuss what makes good and bad managers in baseball. Is there a secret sauce to being a good manager and why do great players seem to make such bad ones? For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss the appearence of 15 year old Joe Nuxhall. He only pitched a single game in 1944, but why is it such a good thing kids that old are not allowed to play? Our Hall of Famer this week is 19th Century First Baseman Roger Connor. His being elected by the Vet's Committee is a rare correction for them, but just how great was he? In our singlular parting shot this week discusses just what made Lou Gehrig such a wonderful anomaly in the history of baseball in terms of his quality of play, but also as a person. Enjoy our new crop of weekly commercials featuring Harold Reynolds for ESPN2, more Seattle Mariners, and Frank Howard for Nestle Quik!
