  • Kentucky Derby Special with "The Sniper" Barry Spears
    We give you a look at the Kentucky Derby, as Joe Rizzo is joined by handicapper "The Sniper" Barry Spears for this DD Special Event!
    Riz & The Sniper (https://twitter.com/UrbnHandicapper) examine this mix of horse racing & Americana. You'll want to check out the race once you listen. For the fans looking to wager a few bucks, you're going to be armed with some more knowledge on how to spend your money wisely. If you're just here for the baseball, then at least check out Barry's hat and Riz's shirt on the video feed on YouTube or Facebook!
    The Sniper has a special talent. He takes difficult concepts and breaks them down into digestible bites for those who are not in-depth horse players. That makes him a natural for the way we like to do things on Diamond Diehards, and he didn't disappoint. Barry & Riz explained the reasons to watch the race. They shared some of the key terminology and explained what the words mean and why they're important.
    And, of course, they made picks!

  • NFL Draft Special, Basebrawl Between Mets & Cardinals, Rizzo Powers Yankees, Riz & Producer Xavier Miss Miggy's 3,000th
    It's our NFL Draft spectacular, plus we talk basebrawls with the Mets & Cousin Anthony Rizzo bombs for the Yanks. Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy are joined by Peter Clarke to break down the NFL draft, plus they talk some baseball as the Mets and the Cardinals clear the benches and Anthony Rizzo powers the Yankees to a big start!
    Peter is on the podcats Pac's Sports Zone and Two Dudes and a Mexican. You can follow him on Twitter at @Pacman453323 and find his complete NFL Draft breakdown at https://apple.co/3rXuM0k. Peter & Dawg broke down the NFL Draft, with a heavy focus on the Giants and the Jets. You'll get special insight into why teams may or may not select certain players. It's in an easily digestible format, without all the drivel from the "experts" that are shoved down your throat at this time of year.
    Riz finished off with an emotional recap of his father-son Detroit trip with Producer Xavier, explaining how they missed Miguel Cabrera's 3,000th career hit with the Yankees visiting the Tigers.

  • Tigers Woods Is Back! The Masters Golf Tournament Preview, With Mike Appelbaum
    What goes great with baseball? GOLF!
    Joe Rizzo brought on Mike Appelbaum to do a pocket-sized preview of the most important golf tournament in the world, The Masters! If you do not know anything about golf, then you at least probably know that legendary player Tiger Woods is making his return to competitive golf after a car accident that nearly cost him his leg, in addition to his life. Tiger leads a wide-open field.
    While our beloved baseball teams play their season openers and first series, you're sure to hit The Masters while flipping through the channels or streams. Riz & Appel throw some names at you that you can watch for and maybe wager on to make things a little more interesting. And if you're already a golf junkie, then enjoy this one and see how the guys did in giving you a preview of the tournament, which the great Jim Nantz has billed as "A tradition unlike any other" and for good reason.
    If things go well, we can add episodes like this ahead of the four majors in golf. It's in the works.

  • Oscars SlapGate: Will Smith & Chris Rock, Opening Day Looms, Sleeping Angels?
    The SlapGate controversy at the Oscars between Will Smith and Chris Rock took headlines, so Joe Rizzo and Jeff Healy found a way to break it down and relate it to baseball on Diamond Diehards, the best podcast about baseball and about life!
    Riz & The Dawg addressed the incident that sent the internet abuzz. How does it relate to baseball? Listen to find out!
    As Opening Day looms, there is plenty to talk about around Spring Training, so the guys toss around a few headlines and give some insight as to which teams they think might have a good season on tap, and which might not be facing a banner year.
    Dawg kicked things off with Veteran of the Day. On National Vietnam Veterans Day, we were humbled to honor Spec. Alfred Lallave from The Bronx. Lallave served with honor with the 4th Infantry Division. He died from wounds suffered by hostile small arms fire defending Hill 947 in central Vietnam. His awards included the Combat Infantryman Badge and the Purple Heart.

  • Yankees Trade Gary Sanchez, Tom Brady Comes Out of Retirement, NCAA Basketball Selection Sunday
    Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy with yet another emergency episode of Diamond Diehards!
    The Yankees trade Gary Sanchez, Tom Brady unretired, and the NCAA Tournament brackets were revealed. What a night for Quick Hits, right before Midnight in the East!
    After many frustrating years, Sanchez and Riz's beloved Gio Urshella were sent to the Minnesota Twins for Isiah Kiner-Falefa, former AL MVP Josh Donaldson, and young lefty-hitting catcher Ben Rortvedt. As it marks the end of an era for the much-maligned Sanchez, Riz & Dawg tied in a series of moves that have been made in the early days post-Lockout, and used that pattern to figure out what may well happen with Carlos Correa and Trevor Story, the two stud shortstops that remain on the market with no apparent long-term suitors. The guys also delved deeply into how the Twins are controlling the post-Lockout markets, so if you've follow the Diehards and are a Twins fan, then this is a big show for you!

  • Friday Night Live - Baseball Is Back, Early Outlooks, Dodgers Get Busy, Free Agent Frenzy Part 2
    For Friday Night Live, Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy come to you live as Baseball is back! Riz & Dawg talk about the Mets' & Yankees' early outlooks and address "Free Agent Frenzy Part 2".
    Riz had The Dawg with him for the first time since the end of the lockout, as Jerry Milani pinch-hit in the previous show as the news of the labor stoppage broke. Together for the first time since the terms of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement were agreed upon by the owners and the MLB Players Association, Riz & The Dawg talked about the aftermath of the deal, and how the negotiations went to the brink of potential disaster for generations of baseball fans, both diehard and potential. The guys gave some early outlooks on the Yankees and Mets, assessed the universal DH and which record that new rule makes unbreakable, gabbed about the Dodgers' early actions, and bandied about Free Agent Frenzy Part 2 with some of the big names on the market.

What were the unintended consequences of the lockout? Riz & Jerry took that on, including the making up of the six lost games, and the week-long extension of Spring Training and what that could mean. Who is going to be busiest until the new Opening Day? Schedule-makers, GMs and many more - the guys explained why.
