Is Ichiro a unanimous Hall of Famer? Paul Skenes lands NL Rookie honors, new team in Juan Soto sweepstakes
Baseball Bar-B-Cast
11/20/24 • 63 min
One of the more highly debated subjects of the baseball offseason is when the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot gets released. This year, however, there will be no debate about if Ichiro Suzuki will be elected, but rather if he will become only the second player ever to be voted into Cooperstown unanimously, joining Mariano Rivera.
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the case for Ichiro possibly collecting 100% of the votes and the reasons why there might be a handful of voters who don’t vote for him, despite his over 3,000 career hits and debuting in the majors at age 27. They also discuss the other potential first-ballot Hall of Famer in CC Sabathia, as well as take a look at the rest of the newest nominees to the ballot.
Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys discuss Paul Skenes running away with the NL Rookie of the Year award, Luis Gil winning the AL honors despite it being a much closer race than expected and why the Manager of the Year award is a little silly. Jake & Jordan then examine who might receive some MVP votes before talking about a new team added to the Juan Soto sweepstakes.

Astros trade could lead to Bregman reunion, Steve Cohen draws the line on Pete Alonso & LIDOM controversy?
Baseball Bar-B-Cast
01/27/25 • 51 min
Over the weekend, the Houston Astros were finally able to trade reliever Ryan Pressly to the Chicago Cubs after he agreed to waive his no-trade clause and sign off on the deal. With the trade going through and some money being saved, could this mean the Astros are willing to bring back a familiar face at third base?
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss whether the Pressly-Cubs trade could indicate that Houston is trying to find funds to re-sign Alex Bregman and reunite him with Jose Altuve, something the second baseman has said he's willing to do by moving to the outfield to help accommodate the team. Even though the Astros have, in theory, moved on from the two-time All-Star based on the moves they’ve made, perhaps a reunion could be in the cards now.
Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about comments made by New York Mets owner Steve Cohen at Amazin’ Day, which suggest he might be drawing a line in the sand regarding bringing back Pete Alonso and why he may be showing agent Scott Boras he’s done being taken advantage of. Later, Jake and Jordan discuss some controversy in the LIDOM championship that might involve a corked bat, as well as the Washington Nationals doing something they’ve never done before.

Can stalwart powerhouses Boston & New York get back into contention after down years? Can the Blue Jays recover from their winter of bad vibes and not signing Shohei Ohtani? What about the latest bad vibes in the Bronx as it was reported this morning that pitcher Gerrit Cole is getting an MRI on his elbow, an extremely concerning sign for the highly-durable ace?
3:54 Boston Red Sox
15:35 Tampa Bay Rays
27:10 Toronto Blue Jays
39:38 Baltimore Orioles

Opening weekend takeaways: Torpedo bats take over Bronx and internet + Rōki Sasaki's concerning start
Baseball Bar-B-Cast
03/31/25 • 67 min
Jordan Shusterman and Jake Mintz recap all the action from Opening Weekend in MLB including the two diving into the "torpedo bats" that helped the Yankees mash homers over the weekend and spark debate across the baseball world. Jake explains the origins of the torpedo bats and how players on the Yankees embraced them heading into the season. He also explains why they're totally legal and not a cheat code. Jordan believes the bats represent hitters finally embracing new technology to combat pitchers who've been ahead of the curve in recent years.
After torpedo talk the two recap the rest of the series around baseball, including the Padres getting the first 'mop' of the year in their four game sweep of Atlanta. The two also discuss that despite the Dodgers dominance over the Tigers there should be real concern about Rōki Sasaki's starts so far.

(3:50) - Torpedo bats 101: What are they? Who came up with them? Why now?

A Pod About A-Rod, featuring Alex Rodriguez
Baseball Bar-B-Cast
06/07/23 • 60 min
Alex Rodriguez is one of the most polarizing figures in MLB history, but regardless of what you think of him, there’s no denying that he is one of the best to ever do it. This week, Jake got to sit down with the 14x All-Star to talk about what statistic he’s the proudest of from his career, the importance of fundamentals, his unlikely appreciation of the sac bunt, the Red-Sox-Yankees rivalry, taking the subway to Yankee Stadium and more. Then, Jake and Jordan break down the interview and discuss the entire experience of meeting with a figure of A-Rod’s magnitude. Plus, we can't ignore - Jordan gives his report on the debut of super prospect Elly De La Cruz.
Alex Rodriguez is partnering with OraPharma to help fight gum disease by raising awareness about this chronic, misunderstood, and underdiagnosed disease. According to the American Dental Association, gum disease affects nearly half of Americans over 30 and is more common in our Latino community.
