Turn a Pair Baseball Podcast

Everyone has a favorite baseball podcast. Our favorite show is 'Two Strike Noise'. Mark and Jeff first worked together while working for the Seattle Mariners. Both had a hand in what the fans and players saw on the scoreboard at Mariners home games. During games they'd talk about the history of the game and make each other laugh. It seemed like a natural fit to start recording. We talk through their journey, about their show and whole bunch of nonsense.

Before Rachel worked with professional hitters, she made a career out of hitting bombs. A 2019 inductee in to the Marshall athletic Hall of Fame, she also played professional softball. She shares her journey and how she went from home run hitting softball star to Chicago Cubs hitting coach.

Along the way we talk about ice cream, records (like actual records to be played on record players) and a whole lot more. Have fun getting to know our new friend, Rachel Folden.

Ron grew up a baseball obsessed boy in Gary Indiana. After high school he set off to make a career for himself as an Iron Worker in the Steel Mills. On a whim he made his way to a local baseball field for an MLB tryout. He made such an impression (a literal impression - you'll have to listen to hear how) that the Dodgers signed him shortly after the tryout.

This is where the story gets started. Ron talks about the time he broke his neck and was temporarily paralyzed, which forced him out of baseball. He talks of the once in a million meeting that led to his comeback. This all happened before he hit 35 home runs and won ROY in 1983. He even shares the story of his clubhouse dust up with Rickey Henderson.

We welcome in friends from two different podcasts - 4th Inning Podcast and Pulling Tarp Podcast! The 4th Inning crew features 4 teenage baseball players that talk sports, specifically baseball. They're up and coming podcast stars. Bobby Coon (Pulling Tarp Podcast) spent nearly a decade working in MiLB and has made a number of great connections. He invites them on his show to share some incredible war stories. I recommend subscribing to both shows.

Joey Wiemer was the 4th overall pick of the Milwaukee Brewers at the historic 2020 MLB draft. The Temperance, MI native was a three sport star in High School. He had D1 football offers, but instead chose to follow his baseball passion at the University of Cincinnati. We talk about his journey, his incredible fashionable hair style while in college and much more.

Energy, Passion and Knowledge are three words that come to mind when describing this episode's guest. Demetre has spent his entire life learning the art of baseball. They say baseball is a mental game. Demetre was fortunate enough to spend time with The Godfather of Sports Psychology, Ken Ravizza. We take deep dive in to their relationship and the impact Ken had on Demetre. On a lighter note, you don't want to miss Demetre's mound visit stories.

Drafted in the 15th round out of Fordham, Kyle quickly became a key member of the Aberdeen Ironbirds bullpen. He recorded the last out of a no hitter, the first in Aberdeen history. Host RoseAnn Sapia uncovers Kyle's favorite sandwich shop is actually owned by her Uncle. It's a small world.

Bryce was a 3 sport star in High School. He turned down a D1 hoops offer to play baseball in college. As a Junior at Old Dominion University, Bryce was known as a 'Swiss Army knife' on the field. What he was not known for is being a pro prospect. That obviously changed. Bryce shares the incredible story of how he went from jack of all trades to master of one.

Ben Braymer is a top 30 prospect in the Nationals organization, but it wasn't always that easy. With no D1 options, he spent two years at JUCO LSU-Eunice. After a dominating performance, he earned a spot on the Auburn Tigers roster. He's made the most of each opportunity and now finds himself on the 40 man roster. A big league debut is on the horizon for the charismatic hurler.

Wil Crowe is the 4th ranked prospect in a loaded Washington Nationals farm system. He's poised to make his big league debut once baseball resumes. The challenge has been staying fit physically and mentally. He shares the unique way that he has been able to maintain his competitive edge. He's actually been so competitive that his wife has had to reign him in at times. Fortunately that fire will prove useful on the diamond.
