5 Things to Watch on the new Hall of Fame Ballot
Will the voters pitch a shutout?
Beltran or Andruw - or both?
Will the 2008 Phillies ever have a HOF?
Will any first-timers clear the 5% line?
Paging the next HOF starting pitcher!

This clip and this pod have gotten incredible response.
So check out the clip but listen to the whole show when you get a chance. Stan’s definitely a man with a point of view!
"That's not true."
Did the Dodgers buy a championship? On the new Starkville, I asked their president, Stan Kasten, about Jason Kelce's take - and lots more!
Also, @dougglanville.bsky.social & I weigh in on Clase,
Ortiz & sports betting. Plus more of your calls!

In a classic Game 7, the Dodgers and Blue Jays delivered a fitting finale to a World Series that had ‘everything’

The emotion of an epic Game 7 is written all over the face of Yoshinobu Yamamoto as he embraces his family. Wow.
02.11.2025 05:04 — 👍 138 🔁 10 💬 6 📌 1World Series Game 7s that went to the 11th and beyond:
1997 Indians-Marlins, 11 innings
1924 Senators-Giants, 12 innings
We're about to start the 11th in Toronto. Fasten that seat belt.
Game-tying home runs to tie a game in the 9th inning of World Series Game 7:
Miguel Rojas tonight
End of list!
Bo Bichette had a big swing coming.
He had no extra-base hits in this World Series ...
Until the 3-run homer that shook the Rogers Centre for the next 5 minutes.
That's 43 pitches through 2 innings for Ohtani - 33 of them with men on base.
And zero runs for the Blue Jays.
Feels like an enormous missed opportunity for a team whose brand is all those hits it gets when it has a chance to score.
“It's gonna be wild. It’s gonna be crazy.”
All this classic World Series needed was a Game 7.
For baseball’s sake. For history’s sake.
Well, we’ve got one. It was so much fun to write about.

Tyler Glasnow is in this game trying to save the Dodgers' World Series dreams.
Last time he pitched in relief (not counting as a bulk guy behind an opener)?
In 2018 with the Pirates!
There won't be a third straight complete game for Yamamoto.
Justin Wrobleski will start the 7th. So that's 9 outs on the table for the Dodgers' bullpen.
The Blue Jays won't be sending Yamamoto a Wish You Were Still Here card.
Kevin Gausman's first 3 innings:
8 outs on strikeouts
but...
Dodgers hitting .750 (3-for-4) when they put a ball in play
so it's 3-0, LA, through 2 1/2 innings
When I roam around the field before what could be the last game of the World Series, I always ask:
What great thing am I going to see tonight?
Whatever it is, it might involve the guy wearing all this stuff
