Ever wondered how the perfect baseball team is assembled? Join us on a journey from the diamond to the dugout as we share our love for the game, dissect the talent pool, and explore the art of team building and coaching. We kick off the episode with a friendly chat on the US U18 Baseball World Cup victory, my recent travels, and an inexplicable affinity for Disneyland's Matterhorn ride.

This episode is a treasure trove of insights for baseball enthusiasts. We set the field ablaze as we assemble a fantasy baseball roster, weighing our individual strengths and those of our former MLB teammates. Together, we unpack the intricate process of selecting top-notch players for the USA baseball team trials, unraveling the role of scouts and staff in navigating high-pressure environments. But it's not all baseball; we also share snippets of our personal lives, from my daughter's college journey to my wife's culinary marvels.

Towards the end, we dive into the realm of coaching, drawing insights from the charismatic Dion Sanders and his exemplary leadership. As we reflect on our experiences, we discuss mentoring, discipline, and the power of love in shaping successful athletes. Paying homage to our enduring love for baseball, the episode culminates with plans for a comeback in the 40 and over World Series. So grab your gear, join the conversation, and let's play ball!

Let your light shine as an inspiration to humanity and BE THE REASON someone believes in the goodness of people.

In the episode CJ and Spilly talk Baltimore Orioles and wonder if their front office is up to the task. They also grade the Cardinals as sellers. The Yankees are in a brutal spot: buy, sell, hold are all reasonable options and the guys disagree on the right move. 

The MLB second half begins today, which only means one thing...the Trade Deadline is approaching.  The Dudes go over all potential buyers and sellers and what we think may happen towards the end of July. 

In this episode CJ and Spilly talk Cardinals continued struggles, managerial speculation and what has happened to them defensively. Shohei Ohtani put on a show in a four game series in Texas. Ramon DeJesus ejected 3 Rangers on one play. 45' Lane rule causing chaos in Houston. Luis Robert lazy play in L.A. Oakland A's are no longer. 

In this episode CJ & Spilly get into all the theatrics of the Yankees-Blue Jays series in Toronto. An accusation, some name calling and a suspension. The Rays stumble in Queens as bullpen concerns arise for MLB's best team. Should the $360M Mets let young inexperienced players take over? Also some pointed words about Francisco Lindor from a former teammate. And finally the Cardinals bats and bullpen have been hot recently, is there enough time for the National League's most disappointing team to get back into contention? 

Vance was the 2022 ACC Tournament MVP and league Preseason Player of the Year, but he joins us to talk about his defense and his penchant for home run-robberies and other great catches. He also explains how he's evolved as a hitter, one who could be a high-end pick in next year's MLB Draft (0:42).

Ben writes a weekly column about "5 Things He Likes About Baseball", and we modify that slightly to have Ben and Mark talk about 3 things they each liked about MLB defense from the first month of the season. Among the subjects, an outfielder with a cannon arm in Cleveland, how Wilmer Flores made a play with a 5% out rate, and why Ke'Bryan Hayes should be viewed as great by Cardinals fans (11:25).

Cardinals Manager, Oliver Marmol, joins Tom Ackerman to talk about the "remarkable performance" against Yankees, the St Louis Cardinals Fans, and more.

In Uvalde, word goes out to demolish Robb elementary just like what happened with Sandy Hook. Police Chief Arenado, secretly gets sworn in as a city council person. Husband of a teacher suddenly dies? Ramos's grandmother gets shot in the face and then calls the police? All that and more.

This week the boys discuss the St. Louis Cardinals' legit rise to relevancy again this season as they look to lock up one of the wild card spots. They discuss what Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr's heated moment was really about, and debate how Tony LaRussa and Dusty Baker's styles influence the younger managers in today's game. They round out the show with Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner.
