Baseball Banter

Recapping the big matchup in Queens between the Mets and the Giants, looking at the embarrassing attendance numbers for the first home series for the Oakland A's and some of the unnecessary comments from Reds team president Phil Castellini in regard to the fans anger about trading away half the team and not being competitive.

Two weeks into the season and we can see who's trending in the right direction and who's trending in the wrong direction. What's wrong with the Yankees offense, the Rangers pitching? Who's been hot out of the gate and who will be able to sustain early success?

Clayton Kershaw nearly throws a perfect game in Minnesota, another thought on the Aaron Judge contract situation and a successful first week for the New York Mets. Plus a look around the rest of the league and some of the other major storylines.

The baseball season is underway and the excitement is back! Who opened the season strong and who struggled? Plus what is the future of Aaron Judge? Will it be in the Bronx or will he play elsewhere in 2023?

Finally! We are less than a week away from Opening Day and John Stewart joins me to preview the 2022 season and who we think we make noise and play deep into October. Also, injuries already piling up. Especially in Queens with Jacob deGrom likely out until the All Star break, Max Scherzer dealing with a tweak in the hamstring. John also voices his frustrations with the Yankees offseason.

With opening day just about a week away, rosters start to take shape with more free agent signings and players landing in new homes. Plus why certain teams should be concerned about their current roster makeup.

The lockout has ended after 99 days and the rest of the free agency has commenced. Big names have already signed but some still remain out there and opening day is just 3 weeks. What does the new CBA look like? And are the Mets and Yankees in trouble with the NYC Private Sector Mandate??

Sad news in Major League Baseball as Jeremy Giambi passed away at the age of 47, a tip of the hat to former Montreal Expos draft pick and future hall of fame Quarterback Tom Brady on his retirement. Then the main course! The AL WEST Mount Rushmore, the final installment of the series.

On today's episode we recap the decision by the BBWAA to elect only one new member into the Hall of Fame, and why there is major hypocrisy surrounding those who were in the discussion to make it. Then, the main attraction, who makes the Mount Rushmore for the White Sox, Guardians, Tigers, Royals and Twins. 

Who makes the list for each of the AL East teams? And why there's a separate list for the Yankees and broken up into 2 tiers. The Mt Rushmore series is now in the back half.
