BP Podcast: Episode 93: Miniature Donkeys Are Great |
After a brief hiatus, we return with an action-packed show (ok, we just talk a lot). After going on an email-inspired rant about the current state of baseball content on the internet, we delve into the game itself and discuss everything from Josh Hamilton's crazy run to Stanford righty Mark Appel to the lack of power prospects to the current state of the Arizona and Colorado systems. Then it's special guest time and a serious discussion about baseball and race with Doug Glanville in what is one of my favorite interviews in the history of the show. As always, we end with the goofy stuff, and as always, we thank you for listening and hope you enjoy.

Wezen-Ball: MLB's Broadcast Dispute |
A minor league team once tried to stop Boston games from being broadcast in a 50 mile radius of Springfield, MA.
It was announced last week that a group of fans from around the country are suing Major League Baseball and its partners over the way broadcast rights are enforced, alleging an abuse of monopoly power. From the AP report:

Tater Trot Tracker: Trot Times for May 14 |
The tater trots for May 14: Bryce Harper's first career home run, plus trots from Hanley Ramirez, Placido Polanco, and Gregor Blanco.
The big news last night was that Bryce Harper, in his fifteenth game, finally hit his first career home run. He then proceeded to race around the bases in a decidedly "Old School Baseball"-type of way, finishing with the second fastest trot of the season so far. There are more details about it here. Harper wasn't the only player to hit a home run last night (in fact, he wasn't the only player to even hit his first career home run last night), so let's get right to the trots!

Tater Trot Tracker: Bryce Harper's First Career Home Run |
Bryce Harper finally hit his first career home run Monday night, and didn't waste any time getting around the bases.
Ever since Bryce Harper's Sports Illustrated cover story at the age of 15, there's been a lot of talk about the phenom—and two topics especially: how good is this kid really going to be? and how cocky can he be? From obnoxious tweets to scary eye-black to a few blown kisses during a minor league tater trot, the second question seemed like it might be the more controversial one.

The tater trots for May 13: Giancarlo Stanton and Joey Votto give their mothers quite the Mother's Day gift.
It wasn't the best Mother's Day for the moms on the Sunday night block of "Game of Thrones" and "Mad Men", but it was a pretty nice day for baseball moms. Especially the mothers of Giancarlo Stanton and Joey Votto.
