Step right up to the ballpark of insider baseball chat, where Cardy, alongside his special guest Mark Corbett from the BaseballBiz On Deck podcast, affectionately known as Corby, dissect the undervalued yet powerhouse team, the Tampa Bay Rays. In a game where David often outplays Goliath, we tip our caps to GM Eric Neander and his player development system that's been rounding the bases in the MLB with strategic finesse. It's a bittersweet symphony for the fans as Rays fans beloved players get traded, but it's all in the game of long-term wins. Grab your peanuts and crackerjacks because you'll get a front-row seat to understanding why the Rays' playbook is one to dive into .
Get ready to warm up your armchair manager skills as we tackle the strategic intricacies behind crafting the ideal starting rotation for the Rays. From the curveballs of injuries to the fastballs of new prospects, we cover it all with a perspective that balances innovation with player health. Corby digs into the mound of pitching wisdom, and Cardy weighs in on the heavy-hitting role analytics plays in the game's evolving strategy. Wondering if Manager Kevin Cash is calling the shots or if it's the numbers game doing the pitching? We're breaking down the scorecard on how decisions off the field affect the heroes on it.
Our conversation doesn't stop at the between the lines ; we're stealing home with a chat on the progress and challenges for women in baseball. From the Rockford Peaches of yesteryear to the modern pioneers knocking it out of the park, we're here to cheer on the establishment of a women's baseball league. We're rounding the bases with tales of resilience and the inspiring impact that women's sports leagues have on the dreams of the next generation. Make sure to catch more innings on Corby's Women in Baseball episodes over at BaseballBiz On Deck, and remember, whether you're a die-hard or a rookie to the baseball scene, this episode's lineup is playing for keeps.

On today's program
Our thoughts go out to the good people of Baltimore
We discuss the alleged Shohei Ohtani scandal and the affect it could have on baseball around the world. Of course we talked about Pete Rose.
Jordan Montgomery signs with the Arizona D-Backs. The Toronto Blue Jays dodged a bullet.
Then we get into our divisional discussions
The National League:
NL West
Could all 3 NL Wild Card spots come out of the west? Could the Los Angeles Dodgers implode? We know what the Rockies are. Could Bob Melvin be the difference maker for the San Francisco Giants? Did the acquisition of Dylan Cease put San Diego Padres back in a playoff spot conversation?
NL Central
Could the Cincinnati Reds surprise some people in 2024? Have we overlooked the Brewers? What will Craig Counsell's impact be on the Chicago Cubs? Have the St.Louis Cardinals taken a step back or will they improve upon their 2023 with their veteran pitching pick-ups?
NL East
Will it be the Atlanta Braves then the Philadelphia Phillies a top of the division or will it be Phillies then Braves? Who exactly are the New York Mets? We will have to get some insight into the Marlins with Lou Schiff
American League
AL West
After losing Eugeno Suarez and Teoscar Hernandez, who are the Seattle Mariners? Will the Youth of the Texas Rangers get them back into the deep part of the playoffs in 2024? Don't forget Scherzer and Degrom coming back. We will need to see what the Anaheim Angels can do. The Houston Astros are still in the conversation. Oakland well.... you know
AL Central
The 3 of us are taking the Detroit Tigers. With the caveat , that the Central is wide open. Minnesota may figure it out and Cleveland is still in the hunt. Definitely no Wild Cards here.
AL East
Brent says the Jays will finish in fourth place. Dave and Brett disagree. Arguments for both scenarios are pretty good. The Yankees have holes, the Boston Red Sox could be a surprise but the expectations are low. Watch out for the Tampa Bay Rays however it's the Baltimore Orioles division to lose.
Blue Jays expectations
What happens if they don't make the playoffs?
Who stays or goes, Bo or Vladdy?
Could the Jays be sellers at the deadline?
1 team that could surprise us all.
