The Reds were/are thought to be one of the top teams in baseball this year after a number of big moves in the off-season. The Cardinals were set to play in their home opener 5 weeks ago but today, we get to chat with baseball analyst and former Reds pitcher, Chris Welsh. We talk about the big names and players that Chris is excited about for the Reds this year.

He also runs a great website (baseballrulesacademy.com) that defines the rules across the sport. Rulebooks for high school, college, Olympic and up broken down and explained for fans. Fans may remember some plays with no-calls or questionable calls that resulted in confusion. Chris breaks down some examples for us today and gives us some insight from umpires.

I get to participate in a fun game that Baseball Rules Academy challenged me to this week, as well. Listen here:

Martin Kilcoyne sits down to interview the interviewer. Martin and Dan tell stories about Tony La Russa, and how his interpersonal skills transcended what fans saw on television. Why did TLR insist on doing the interview with Dan before assembled media?

Also, Dan tells Martin about the revolving partnership he has in the booth each season. Whats it like to work with each personality from McCarver and Thompson to Edmonds and Horton? Which of his color commentators wants to socialize and talk baseball after a game? Who knows the most about baseball history vs. today’s game?

Martin then asks the tough questions- When does Dan sleep? How does he do all that he does? Podcasts everyday, radio calls, ball games, married with 4 kids, charity events, golf and more to juggle. How did Dan get his start? Who was his first big interview? Is it true that Dan turned down the Cardinals play-by-play job?
