| Mets even up NLCS with Dodgers, Rodón leads Yankees to ALCS series lead, Swift & Kelce attend Game 1 | 15 Oct 2024 | 00:43:51 | |
After opening up the NLCS in blowout fashion, the Los Angeles Dodgers were put on the ropes early in Game 2 following a Mark Vientos grand slam that helped give the New York Mets a lead they would never relinquish. Now, with the series evened up at a game apiece, the focus shifts to Citi Field in Queens. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman recap all the action from Game 2 including why the Dodgers’ lack of pitching depth finally came back to bite them, the lack of production from the top of the lineup being a big problem and preview the Game 3 pitching matchup. Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys take a look at Game 1 of the ALCS that saw Carlos Rodón have arguably his best start as a member of the New York Yankees, leading the Bronx Bombers to a 5-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians. They also discuss how impressive it is to see Giancarlo Stanton being locked in at the plate, why Jose Ramirez could be a problem in Game 2 and Taylor Swift being in attendance with Travis Kelce at Yankee Stadium.

| Dodgers blank Mets in NLCS opener, Yankees-Guardians ALCS preview, farewell to Tigers & Padres | 14 Oct 2024 | 00:58:51 | |
The 2024 NLCS kicked off on Sunday night in rousing fashion, with the Los Angeles Dodgers flexing their offensive and pitching strength in a 9-0 victory over the New York Mets. With trade deadline acquisition Jack Flaherty spinning a masterful 7 innings of no-run ball, the Dodgers already find themselves up 1-0 in the best-of-seven series. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman recap all the action from Game 1, followed by a brief preview of the series, including whether the Mets have an advantage over the Dodgers regarding their pitching rotation and why Shohei Ohtani might cause havoc for New York’s later-inning relievers. Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys preview the ALCS between recent postseason foes the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Guardians. They discuss the one edge the Guardians have over the Yankees, the impressive nature of Cleveland’s success despite their payroll, and Gerrit Cole’s need to keep José Ramírez in check. Jake and Jordan then close the episode by recapping the exits of the Detroit Tigers and San Diego Padres, as well as how each team might try to approach the offseason to improve their odds in 2025.

| A’s last game in Oakland, current postseason situation, Dodgers & Yankees clinch their divisions | 27 Sep 2024 | 01:02:22 | |
On Thursday, the baseball world said goodbye to the Oakland A’s playing baseball at the Oakland Coliseum. While it was an extremely bittersweet day that ended with the Athletics securing a 3-2 win over the Texas Rangers, fans of the yellow and green are now left without a baseball team to support and another team leaving Oakland. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman recap all the events from the day that saw Barry Zito singing the National Anthem and manager Mark Kotsay giving a postgame speech to all those in attendance. They then discuss what’s next for the A’s and all the uncertainty still surrounding the franchise and their move to Sacramento. Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about where things currently stand with the postseason picture, as well as the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers clinching their respective divisions, how the NL Wild Card could come down to the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves playing a doubleheader on Monday and we say goodbye to the Minnesota Twins chances at making the fall dance. Jake and Jordan wrap up the episode with their picks for The Good, The Bad and The Uggla including the return of the Backyard Baseball video game, Ron Washington’s quotes about players in the Los Angeles Angels organization and someone proposing at the Chicago White Sox game.

| A’s Las Vegas stadium designs are outrageous, Lucas Giolito is hurt & spring training is too long | 06 Mar 2024 | 00:49:16 | |
What happens when you have a knock-off Sydney Opera House, no dugouts or netting, an umpire wearing high socks and a fake New York City skyline? You have yourself the renderings of the Oakland Athletics new ballpark in Las Vegas. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss all the latest ridiculousness from the A’s, including their cowardice of not allowing fans to reply to their X posts for months and whether or not a move to Vegas is actually going to happen. They then discuss the overreaction to the Pirates’ top prospect Ben Skenes starting the season in the minor leagues and the disconnect between the owner and the team. The 2024 season will see the return of Oneil Cruz after he suffered a season ending injury in April last year, which means the Buccos must find a way to take a step forward after a not-bad 2023. Later in the episode, the guys talk about Lucas Giolito’s partially torn UCL that will most likely result in the Boston Red Sox pitcher needing Tommy John surgery. This leads to a bigger question being asked: is spring training too long? The countless number of injuries this year has convinced the guys that a must-needed conversation has to be had to prevent this problem going forward. The Wednesday show wraps up by taking a look at the evolution of Tyler Glasnow as a pitcher in his debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the newest career mode in the latest installment of MLB The Show, which allows gamers to play as a woman in career mode. 2:09 - Renderings of the Oakland A's proposed Las Vegas stadium 20:47 - Pittsburgh Pirates could make waves in 2024 29:42 - Lucas Giolito's potentially season-ending injury 36:52 - Is spring training too long? 41:15 - Tyler Glasnow ready for the spotlight in LA 45:17 - MLB The Show adds female playable characters [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league for the 2024 MLB season] Follow the show on X at @CespedesBBQ Follow Jake @Jake_Mintz Follow Jordan @J_Shusterman_ 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app: 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv And check out Jake, Jordan & the show on X or Instagram: 🌤️ @CespedesBBQ: https://bsky.app/profile/cespedesbbq.bsky.social 🐦 @CespedesBBQ: https://x.com/CespedesBBQ 📷 @CespedesBBQ: https://www.instagram.com/cespedesbbq ⚾ @Jake_Mintz: https://x.com/Jake_Mintz 🧢 @J_Shusterman: https://x.com/j_shusterman_ | |||
| Wheeler extends with the Phillies, Chapman lands with the Giants & Fanatics CEO responds to backlash | 04 Mar 2024 | 00:51:05 | |
Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman are back on a Monday morning to look at two big NL transactions that happened over the last few days. This morning, the Philadelphia Phillies reportedly locked in pitcher Zack Wheeler on a 3-year, $126 million extension that will keep the Ace in eastern Pennsylvania for another four years. The guys explain why this is a great deal for both sides. Next, they look back at the San Francisco Giants signing 3B Matt Chapman over the weekend to a 3-year, $54 million deal. Jake & Jordan explain why this is less good for Chapman money-wise and a great move for the Giants, looking to make a dent in the loaded NL West. With larger extensions reportedly left on the table in Oakland and Toronto for Chapman, could his agent Scott Boras' strategy of having his clients wait out the market until deep into March be failing? In the second half of the podcast, the guys open up the grab bag and hit a number of miscellaneous baseball nuggets from the past week including new Baltimore Orioles owner David Rubenstein visiting spring training, New York Mets owner Steve Cohen clapping back on X, Robinson Canó's return to the Mexican League & more.

| Yoshinobu Yamamoto's got the stuff, Shohei Ohtani got married & why aren't all spring training games televised? | 01 Mar 2024 | 00:55:14 | |
Shohei Ohtani isn't the only new player in Dodger blue this offseason making waves. Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman kick off this episode reacting to Yoshinobu Yamamoto's first start in spring training, as he threw two scoreless innings against the Texas Rangers and looks exactly as advertised in terms of being an electric addition to the Los Angeles Dodgers starting rotation. Looking at the Dodgers' NorCal rivals, the guys also respond to Jung Hoo Lee's first homer of spring training and discuss why the San Francisco Giants could be sneakily watchable this season, if not outright good. Jordan then dives into his frustration around spring training broadcasts and why so many games from March are unavailable to be viewed outside of a few highlights here or there. In a sport that's been desperate to make fans more aware of its teams and stars, and in a time where anything is possible technologically, why limit how many games fans can see? After the break, the guys dive into what everyone really came here for: Shohei Ohtani's surprise marriage announcement. Jake & Jordan dive into Ohtani's massive privacy in comparison to other stars & try to determine how secret of a wedding the Dodgers star actually had. Wrapping up the show, the crew discusses a picture circulating around the internet of St. Louis Cardinals legend Yadier Molina wearing Cubs gear, a strange baseball-themed tweet from the Vegas Golden Knights & Jordan's visit with Ken Griffey Jr., who has taken up wildlife photography in his retirement years.

| Transactions we missed: Dodgers resign Kershaw, Giants pursue Panda's vibes & Nationals' troubling sign | 28 Feb 2024 | 01:04:01 | |
After three weeks off in the middle of February, Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman have a lot to catch up on. The guys spend the bulk of today's episode recapping an avalanche of baseball transactions that happened in the leadup to spring training. First, the Los Angeles Dodgers re-signed Clayton Kershaw on a 2-year deal, keeping the future Hall of Famer in town on a Dodger rotation that, for the first time in years, won't be dependent on him for success. The Dodgers also traded Manuel Margot to the Minnesota Twins and brought back Kiké Hernandez. Oh, and Shohei Ohtani was very good in his spring training debut. Up the California coastline, the San Francisco Giants signed Jorge Soler to add some power to the middle of their lineup. Intriguingly, they've also brought back Pablo Sandoval, who had been out of the majors for a few years now, in order to recreate some early 2010s magic? The guys roll through a number of other signings including Brandon Woodruff and Gary Sanchez to the Milwaukee Brewers, Tim Anderson to the Miami Marlins, Gio Urshela to the Detroit Tigers, Liam Hendriks to the Boston Red Sox, the combination of Spencer Turnbull and Whit Merrifield to the Philadelphia Phillies & the St. Louis Cardinals bringin in Brandon Crawford. Next, they discuss a trio of extensions in Jose Altuve, Bobby Witt Jr. and Mitch Keller all inking deals with the Houston Astros, Kansas City Royals & Pittsburgh Pirates, respectively. Closing out the show, the guys discuss the Royals bucking the new uniform rules, two teams who will not be getting City Connect jerseys, the Washington Nationals displaying a troubling sign in their bullpen & three non-irrelevant spring training stories.

| Baseball's pants controversy, Bellinger sticks with Cubs & spring training visits to the Dodgers, Orioles, Phillies, Yankees & more | 26 Feb 2024 | 01:05:22 | |
After three weeks off since their last podcast, Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman are back with the latest episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, now on the Yahoo Sports network. So many exciting baseball things have happened in the last few weeks as spring training gets off the ground, and of course we have nowhere else to start but the pants. Yes, we need to lead off the show with the ongoing controversy around the new uniforms supplied to the MLB players by Nike and Fanatics. Players hate how they feel around their rear-ends, the lettering looks cheap and weird, and they may be see-through in the groin area. It's a real perfect storm of where baseball silly meets baseball business in the weirdest way possible. In transaction news, the Chicago Cubs signed OF Cody Bellinger this Saturday to a reported 3-year, $80 million dollar contract with opt-out clauses after each year. The guys explain what this means for Bellinger, the Cubs and for super-agent Scott Boras. In the second half of the show, Jake & Jordan discuss their myriad spring training visits from the past week, including stops at the Phillies, Orioles, Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, Twins, Braves & more. What's the deal with Bryce Harper wanting a contract extension? Is the circus around Shohei Ohtani's move to the Dodgers upstaging their other stars? How about Rafael Devers calling out the front office for Boston's lack of pitching depth? Wrapping up the show, the guys discuss two upcoming musical tour dates for former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright & Jake has an update on the scoop that former Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Carlos Gomez is training for the 2024 Olympics in cycling.

Although excited about this news, Jake and Jordan explain why they’re still a little skeptical. Then, the guys dive into the latest transactions across the league, including Adam Ottavino re-signing with the Mets on a one-year deal, and open up the mailbag to answer some listener questions, including “how would baseball be different if pitchers had to use the same ball all game?” Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app: 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv And check out Jake, Jordan & the show on X or Instagram: 🌤️ @CespedesBBQ: https://bsky.app/profile/cespedesbbq.bsky.social 🐦 @CespedesBBQ: https://x.com/CespedesBBQ 📷 @CespedesBBQ: https://www.instagram.com/cespedesbbq ⚾ @Jake_Mintz: https://x.com/Jake_Mintz 🧢 @J_Shusterman: https://x.com/j_shusterman_ | |||

| Padres triple play clincher, Tigers clawing at the Wild Card, Dbacks opening the door for Mets & Braves | 25 Sep 2024 | 00:50:58 | |
There’s always a reason to celebrate a postseason berth, but how the San Diego Padres did it on Tuesday night might have been one of the sweetest ways they could’ve ever imagined. While playing their archrival, the Los Angeles Dodgers, at Dodgers Stadium, the Padres turned the first-ever game-ending, postseason-spot-clinching triple play to seal their spot to play October baseball this year. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the extremely impressive and rare triple play that Gold Glover Manny Machado kicked off, the sloppiness from the Dodgers last night that we’ve grown accustomed to seeing in the postseason and if LA fans should be concerned that the boys in blue won’t be able to lock up the division. Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about the Atlanta Braves taking the first game of the mega-series with the New York Mets and if weather will affect the rest of the series, the Arizona Diamondbacks' rough stretch possibly leading to them not making the postseason and the Detroit Tigers appear to have all but taken hold of an AL Wild Card spot. Jake and Jordan close the show by discussing the Tigers calling up top prospect Jackson Jobe, long-time Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon announcing his retirement from baseball and the letter from Oakland A’s owner John Fisher to the fans about why the decision was made to move the team.

| Astros Sign Josh Hader, Anthony Rendon Doesn’t Like Baseball, and Red Sox Fans Are Furious | 22 Jan 2024 | 01:00:49 | |
The Houston Astros have signed star closer Josh Hader to a 5-year $95 Million deal.
