Accountability is something you rarely see in the media today, but on this episode of Diamond Diehards, you get it from Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy as they scrutinize their pre-season MLB predictions. Riz & Dawg have often talked about time traveling, and they got some forecasts correct and others wrong, but some of the good ones were so shocking that you might not believe them! You can find the original predictions episode at https://youtu.be/YMtNClnl9b4. It also includes a soliloquy on where we think Shohei Ohtani will end up. The main "wrongs" on the prognostications were regarding the Yankees and Mets. After their respective disappointing seasons, it was time for a rant on Yankees management and Aaron Boone, and the Mets and their brass.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers' ruptured Achilles tendon was the snap heard 'round the world, but what does it really mean? Dr. Stacey Paukovitz of High Performance Foot and Ankle Podiatric Medicine and Surgery in Manasquan, NJ, joined Joe Rizzo to explain what happened, what Rodgers can look forward to after surgery and in rehab, and how his plan to return might be affected. Dr. Paukovitz also went over the toe injury to Aaron Judge, giving a new perspective and expert insight into what the New York Yankees megastar could be facing in the off-season after the injury.

Baseball has been awful in the New York area this season, and just when you thought it could not get worse, the Mets are reportedly talking about trading away slugger Pete Alonso in the off-season. So, since baseball sucks, Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy decided to talk about football! The baseball talk ended up enduring, however, since the scenarios were built on how Alonso's final destination could end up influencing Shohei Ohtani's decision, somehow leaving him in the Yankees outfield.
Then there was the requisite Jets and Giants talk, where the importance of the beginning of the season for each franchise was broken down and the reasons were giving for why Aaron Rodgers and Daniel Jones have must-win games right off the bat!

The Mets blew it up at the trade deadline while the Yankees froze and did virtually nothing. Both fan bases were left irate at the action of the Mets and inaction of the Yankees, so Joe Rizzo & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy had to join in. They also broke down what other teams did and how it leaves the baseball landscape for the rest of the season.

Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy review the NFL Draft and talk about the headline-grabbing injuries to Aaron Judge and Jacob deGrom.On a rainy Sunday in Northern New Jersey, the guys found some sunlight in talking some football with the excitement of the draft, but then pondered the New York Yankees' slew of injuries that now include Judge. And of course there is always a New York Mets angle, with the departed deGrom now injured for the Texas Rangers, but his old team battling through injuries and suspensions to the top of their vaunted pitching staff.

Tragedy struck on the field as the Buffalo Bills' Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Jan. 2. The immediate and sustained outpouring of emotion and support united the country. In the aftermath, it created many questions about the entire situation, from player safety to event management. Joe Rizzo and Jeff Healy talked about Hamlin and the entire situation, and how something like that could happen on any field at any time and the ways it can be used as a learning experience. In the Hot Stove, Rafael Devers signed an 11-year, $331 million deal to remain with the Boston Red Sox, while the Carlos Correa saga lingered, as his deal with the New York Mets was still not finalized.

It has been a free agent frenzy to remember throughout baseball, and especially on the coasts. Aaron Judge is back with the Yankees, Brandon Nimmo returns to the Mets, Jacob deGrom is off to the Texas Rangers and Justin Verlander moves into his spot. That's just the tip of the iceberg in a scorching hot stove as the player movement, dollar figures and years of commitment have come at a frenzied pace.

Joe Rizzo brought on NY Times Best-Selling author Jeff Pearlman to talk about his new masterpiece, "The Last Folk Hero - The Life and Myth of Bo Jackson" in a lively half-hour episode. First off, buy the book because you're gonna love it. Listening/watching this show ought to convince you, anyway.
https://www.amazon.com/Last-Folk-Hero-Life-Jackson/
Riz and Jeff dove into the making of the book and some of the interesting pieces behind it. Off the bat, Riz became the first of myriad hosts to have listened to the audiobook and was able to provide the author valuable feedback. There was also talk about Jeff's Mahopac, NY roots (if you know anything of Mahopac, this is the episode for you), and some unforeseen connections with people to whom Jeff interviewed in writing it.
Since Jeff has done about 150-200 similar spots, we tried to bring something different to the table, so hopefully we succeeded. There are a lot of podcasts out there, and we try to be a little better and a little different!

Ray Montgomery has season tickets and a front-row seat to the Shohei Ohtani & Mike Trout Show as the bench coach for the LA Angels of Anaheim. Ray joined Joe Rizzo on Diamond Diehards to talk about what he is witnessing first hand and gives amazing insight into the daily doings of Ohtani and Trout. He took Riz through the losing streak that cost manager Joe Maddon his job and gave Phil Nevin an opportunity, explained why and how Ohtani is able to do what he does, and broke down how Trout is simply a "different" player.
Ray walked through his fascinating journey from playing at Fordham, in the minors and then the majors, through his many years in MLB teams' front offices, and how he somehow ended up on the bench as a coach for the first time, at age 52. Listen in attentively and you'll also find out why he has a chalice!

Ray walked through his fascinating journey from playing at Fordham, in the minors and then the majors, through his many years in MLB teams' front offices, and how he somehow ended up on the bench as a coach for the first time, at age 52. Listen in attentively and you'll also find out why he has a chalice!

John Miedreich is the Executive VP of Baseball Operations for Baseball United (www.BaseballUnited.com), a new venture that is bringing the game to Dubai, the Middle East, India, Pakistan and South Asia. Miedreich joined Joe Rizzo to explain the depth of the venture, the goals and the organization. When we see the first MLB player finally come from this region, we can go back right here to understand how it all started.
For MLB fans, the credibility of the venture lies in the backing of two Hall of Famers, the Yankees' Mariano Rivera and the Reds' Barry Larkin. Miedreich explained their roles, which are far more than figureheads. Because you might not have heard of Miedreich, you would be curious about his background, which is a unique career with the NYPD. How did that lead to this role? Riz got all the answers, and you won't believe the story!

The Yankees crashed and burned in getting swept out of the 2022 ALCS by the Houston Astros, so Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy took a few days to digest everything and write their epitaph. Fans always have strong opinions about changes that they want, but Riz & Dawg explain how things will shake down and why.
The upstart Philadelphia Phillies were the last team into the playoffs and are within four wins of shocking baseball and winning the World Series, with the villain Houston Astros in their way. The best World Series preview is found here.

Moments after the New York Yankees held off the Cleveland Guardians in a winner-take-all Game 5 of the American League Division Series, Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy jumped on Facebook Live to bring you the instant reaction.

The Mets flamed out in the Wild Card round against the Padres. Joe Rizzo & Jeff Healy were there for the final inning live, and shared their instant reaction. Riz & Dawg languished as the Mets' 2022 season faded away. What happened and why? What will the future might bring?
The guys broke down the Wild Card round and looked ahead to the ALDS & NLDS matchups (NYY-CLE, HOU-SEA, SD-LAD, PHI-ATL). There was time for football. The Giants & Jets are off to fast starts for the first time in a long time. Riz & Dawg talked about what the difference is, and why it's important to the resurgence in the overall sports scene in the New York metropolitan area.
Aaron Judge is the undisputed single-season home-run king in the American League after hitting his 62nd home run, and Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy bring you their thoughts on his amazing season, plus their high-value playoff predictions on the latest episode of Diamond Diehards.

The New York Mets had an epic collapse to cede the NL East to the Atlanta Braves, much to the chagrin of (Downward) Dawg, and Aaron Judge heads to Texas to try and sling more homers to grab hold of the single-season record on the latest episode of Diamond Diehards.
Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy got together to break it all down, figuring out the reasons the Mets could not handle the Braves for even a single game in Atlanta. It allowed the Braves to take complete control of the NL East, almost certainly giving the defending World Series champions a much easier road to repeating. The guys also scrutinized the way the Mets brought baseball's top prospect, Francisco Álvarez, into the mix, among other moves that backfired in Atlanta.
Then there is Aaron Judge and the Yankees, who lost the same amount of games on their first-place division lead as the Mets but instead won the AL East. Will Judge get the homer record to himself in Texas? And how did the Yankees' August malaise actually set them up better for the postseason?

It's a special Thursday night live after Aaron Judge walked it off for the Yankees against the Royals, as Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy bring you Diamond Diehards! Riz & Dawg broke down the key moments of the first two games of the Subway Series, in which the Mets beat the Yankees twice at CitiField (with Dawg in attendance for Game 2). Buck Showalter beat Aaron Boone, explained Riz.
Andrew Benintendi was the first domino to fall ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline, and he joins the Italians in The Bronx. Where will Juan Soto end up? Is Shohei Ohtani on the block? Would you rather have Soto or Ohtani? Riz & Dawg explained why this answer will lead to the first $50M-a-year player in Baseball, and why Soto will end up in ... Tampa?

Joe Rizzo welcomes back Mike Appelbaum for another Special Event episode, as the guys took a look at the third major of the year in golf, the US Open, which takes place at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass. The final round is scheduled for Father's Day.
Golf is in turmoil due to the emergence of the Saudi-driven LIV Tour, which began play the weekend before the US Open, headed by Phil Mickelson and a number of other players. It has caused a dividing line between fans and within the PGA Tour itself for reasons of money and morality. But that did not stop Riz & Mike from examining what they think will happen on the links. They gave their top-tier picks, plus a few darkhorses, and covered the betting angles for those who like to wager.

Jess Myers from TheRinkLive.com joins Joe Rizzo to preview the Stanley Cup Finals between the two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning and the Colorado Avalanche in the latest of our Special Events Series.
Riz and Jess have known each other a long time, and they both have seen their share of hockey rinks and covered games with pucks. Jess brought his professional expertise to Diamond Diehards to give some angles on the series you probably did not see, and the guys gave you reasons to watch (and maybe wager on) the first Cup Finals between two teams not ending in an S!
They also got around to some baseball and some life, like we always do on Diamond Diehards. You won't want to miss this episode. For more on Jess, follow him on Twitter @JessRMyers, and hit TheRinkLive.com.

Joe Rizzo & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy joined up for an in-person show at Studio RB as Diamond Diehards continued to roll with hard-hitting content. Riz & Dawg talked about how the Yankees & Mets hit the first big milestone of the MLB season, Memorial Day, in first place. It's just the second time that's ever happened, so they celebrated it by doing their second-ever in-person episode.
With the help of Producer Xavier Rizzo, the guys broke down how the Yanks and Mets got to their coveted spots, what they need to do to maintain first place, and what they must watch out for.
The guys talked A LOT about old-school baseball, from fundamentals and putting balls in play, to how that great part of the sport is not captured correctly by analytics. The names Kirby Puckett and Frank Thomas were bandied about. Riz & Dawg explained some of the things they think makes the game great.
We opened with Veteran of the Day, closed with Diehard Dads, and you won't want to miss anything in between.

Joe Rizzo welcomes back Mike Appelbaum for another Special Event episode, as the guys took a look at the second major of the year in golf, the PGA Championship.
The guys assess whether or not Tiger Woods will be ready to hoist the Wanamaker, if Masters champ Scottie Scheffler can keep the 2022 Grand Slam alive or if Jordan Spieth can complete the career slam. Plus, what is going on with (non-)defending champ Phil Mickelson, the idea of featured groups and how they could change the pay structure in the PGA, and, of course, the picks!

Joe Rizzo and “The Dawg” Jeff Healy bring you baseball on a Monday Night Live program.
Riz & The Dawg talked about the near-no-hitter by the Yankees’ Nestor Cortes, the Yanks and Mets having reached 20 wins faster than any other MLB teams, the Mets’ combined no-hitter, the Dodgers’ quiet rise to MLB’s best record and the league leaders as we move into the middle of May. We also have you covered with Veteran of the Day and a very, very special closing segment of Diehard Dads that you cannot miss, in which Dawg remembered his late father.

We give you a look at the Kentucky Derby, as Joe Rizzo is joined by handicapper "The Sniper" Barry Spears for this DD Special Event!
Riz & The Sniper (https://twitter.com/UrbnHandicapper) examine this mix of horse racing & Americana. You'll want to check out the race once you listen. For the fans looking to wager a few bucks, you're going to be armed with some more knowledge on how to spend your money wisely. If you're just here for the baseball, then at least check out Barry's hat and Riz's shirt on the video feed on YouTube or Facebook!
The Sniper has a special talent. He takes difficult concepts and breaks them down into digestible bites for those who are not in-depth horse players. That makes him a natural for the way we like to do things on Diamond Diehards, and he didn't disappoint. Barry & Riz explained the reasons to watch the race. They shared some of the key terminology and explained what the words mean and why they're important.
And, of course, they made picks!

It's in an easily digestible format, without all the drivel from the "experts" that are shoved down your throat at this time of year.
Riz finished off with an emotional recap of his father-son Detroit trip with Producer Xavier, explaining how they missed Miguel Cabrera's 3,000th career hit with the Yankees visiting the Tigers.

What goes great with baseball? GOLF!
Joe Rizzo brought on Mike Appelbaum to do a pocket-sized preview of the most important golf tournament in the world, The Masters! If you do not know anything about golf, then you at least probably know that legendary player Tiger Woods is making his return to competitive golf after a car accident that nearly cost him his leg, in addition to his life. Tiger leads a wide-open field.
While our beloved baseball teams play their season openers and first series, you're sure to hit The Masters while flipping through the channels or streams. Riz & Appel throw some names at you that you can watch for and maybe wager on to make things a little more interesting. And if you're already a golf junkie, then enjoy this one and see how the guys did in giving you a preview of the tournament, which the great Jim Nantz has billed as "A tradition unlike any other" and for good reason.
If things go well, we can add episodes like this ahead of the four majors in golf. It's in the works.

The SlapGate controversy at the Oscars between Will Smith and Chris Rock took headlines, so Joe Rizzo and Jeff Healy found a way to break it down and relate it to baseball on Diamond Diehards, the best podcast about baseball and about life!
Riz & The Dawg addressed the incident that sent the internet abuzz. How does it relate to baseball? Listen to find out!
As Opening Day looms, there is plenty to talk about around Spring Training, so the guys toss around a few headlines and give some insight as to which teams they think might have a good season on tap, and which might not be facing a banner year.
Dawg kicked things off with Veteran of the Day. On National Vietnam Veterans Day, we were humbled to honor Spec. Alfred Lallave from The Bronx. Lallave served with honor with the 4th Infantry Division. He died from wounds suffered by hostile small arms fire defending Hill 947 in central Vietnam. His awards included the Combat Infantryman Badge and the Purple Heart.

Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy bring you all the scenarios around what happened and what it means for baseball in the American League and baseball from here on in.
Riz & Dawg, for the first time on Diamond Diehards, joined up in person to do this show, so it is a little more special. In the nearly two years since the best podcast about baseball and about life began, it's always been aided by the internet bridging the gap. But not tonight!

Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy with yet another emergency episode of Diamond Diehards!
The Yankees trade Gary Sanchez, Tom Brady unretired, and the NCAA Tournament brackets were revealed. What a night for Quick Hits, right before Midnight in the East!
After many frustrating years, Sanchez and Riz's beloved Gio Urshella were sent to the Minnesota Twins for Isiah Kiner-Falefa, former AL MVP Josh Donaldson, and young lefty-hitting catcher Ben Rortvedt. As it marks the end of an era for the much-maligned Sanchez, Riz & Dawg tied in a series of moves that have been made in the early days post-Lockout, and used that pattern to figure out what may well happen with Carlos Correa and Trevor Story, the two stud shortstops that remain on the market with no apparent long-term suitors. The guys also delved deeply into how the Twins are controlling the post-Lockout markets, so if you've follow the Diehards and are a Twins fan, then this is a big show for you!

For Friday Night Live, Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy come to you live as Baseball is back! Riz & Dawg talk about the Mets' & Yankees' early outlooks and address "Free Agent Frenzy Part 2".
Riz had The Dawg with him for the first time since the end of the lockout, as Jerry Milani pinch-hit in the previous show as the news of the labor stoppage broke. Together for the first time since the terms of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement were agreed upon by the owners and the MLB Players Association, Riz & The Dawg talked about the aftermath of the deal, and how the negotiations went to the brink of potential disaster for generations of baseball fans, both diehard and potential.

BASEBALL IS BACK! The MLB Lockout ended during the afternoon of March 10, 2022, so Joe Rizzo and Jerry Milani rushed to the live stream to bring you the latest and greatest on what it means right now, and where we go from here in this Emergency Episode of Diamond Diehards!
Riz & Jerry (twitter.com/GBPackJerry), who pinch-hit for "The Dawg" Jeff Healy, explained how it all came about, and what it means to the diehard baseball fan in addition to the sports fan. What were the unintended consequences of the lockout? Riz & Jerry took that on, including the making up of the six lost games, and the week-long extension of Spring Training and what that could mean. Who is going to be busiest until the new Opening Day? Schedule-makers, GMs and many more - the guys explained why.

This show is dedicated to Ramapo, NJ High School sophomore Charlie Landers, who passed away earlier this week from Ewing Sarcoma. Charlie was all about baseball, the true definition of a Diamond Diehard. He fought hard, to the end. Rest In Peace, Number 7.

Joe Rizzo & Jeff Healy dive head-on into the most controversial issue facing sports today: Black Coaches at the the top levels.
Brian Flores filed a discrimination suit against the NFL for its handling of his situation not only regarding in his dismissal from the Miami Dolphins, but also his getting passed over for the head coaching jobs with the Denver Broncos in 2019 and the New York Giants in 2022, in favor of white men. While this is an issue that most shows would shy away from, Riz & Dawg went headlong into the fray, and even brought MLB managers into the mix.
As this show was streamed live on Facebook, the commenters were an invaluable part of the show. They included Uncle Paul, Dwayne Morris, Quentin Ford and Lou Monaco. Find the video with the comments here: https://www.facebook.com/713152174/videos/695912328069493/
On an icy night in New Jersey, the guys decided to take the edge off a bit but were dead serious in their assessment of the diversity questions and solutions. The show began with a Veteran of the Day story about Jackie Robinson, as we celebrated our first show during Black History Month. It ended with Riz recapping his appearance on Mad Dog Unleashed with Christopher Russo on Sirius XM.
The Rundown: ~Veteran of the Day ~Black Coaches: NFL vs. MLB ~Ice Storm Drinking ~Latest on the Lockout ~Riz with Mad Dog Russo ~Super Bowl: Rams -4.5 over Bengals, 48.5 over/under

Big Papi makes the Hall of Fame all by himself? That's exactly what happened on Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2022. Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy broke down the voting for all of the players on the ballot, examining each case individually. Then they broke down the actual system for election, which they determined to be broken.
They decided that there should be a six-person committee to decide who from the 394 ballots should get in. The guys threw out these names: Bob Costas, Cal Ripken Jr., Ferguson Jenkins, Vin Scully, Howie Rose and Missy Coombes. Who would you want on the committee? Tweet us at @DiamondDiehards and @JeffHealy8 and let us know!

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball (for the first time in 2022)! Riz & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy made no bones about this one. Since this is a podcast about baseball and about life, went more of the life route on this one, with an episode-by-episode review of Cobra Kai Season 4. Where there were chances to mix in baseball, they did it.
Dawg kicked it off with a very special and apropos Veteran of the Day, and then it was off to the races on Cobra Kai. Later on, they hit Fanatics' acquisition of Topps, Buck Showalter to Mets, and Mark Kotsay to A’s. They finished with a look at the new world of COVID with Omicron, tried to answer if the Mets and Yankees (and possibly other teams) might have Kyrie Irving-like decision in 2022, and integrated Diehard Dads along the way.

Joe Rizzo brings you (Strat-O-Matic) baseball! In this specialty episode, Riz & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy welcome back Jerry Milani for the Second Annual Strat-O-Matic Ratings Bonanza.
Strat-O-Matic (www.strat-o-matic.com) is a baseball simulation game that played a large part in the birthing of Diamond Diehards. If you're a StratHead, you already understand this episode. If not, then we give an explanation in the beginning of the show so you're not completely lost. We reviewed the fielding ratings, which were released before Christmas.
Jerry added some extra insight from behind the curtain, so for the StratHeads, it is not just the ratings, but also some insider juice!

THE WORLD SERIES TROPHY IS POLISHED AND READY TO GO! Riz & Dawg bring you Monday Night Live as the Atlanta Braves travel back to visit the Houston Astros as the 2021 World Series nears its close. The Braves grabbed three of the first four games and jumped to a 4-0 lead in Game Five, but the resilient Astros rebounded to win the game and bring the series back to Texas, where it will finish. Should the Astros take it, the guys talked about the turning point - that one moment where things turned around (hint: it was a tweet by Riz).
Quantitative analysis has been a critical part of front office thinking and has penetrated into managers offices around MLB. Dawg explained where the prevailing philosophies of the day can fall short, and shed light on why old-school managers like Dusty Baker and Brian Snitker have found themselves on the brink of a title while others have fallen short.
Have we seen the last of pitchers being required to be in the batting lineup in the NL? Now that the Braves' home games are over, the potential of the universal DH being implemented in the off-season looms. Is it the certainty that most pundits have made it? The guys explained why it's not. And the answer may surprise you.
There was also a Diehard Dads segment, which included a shoutout to Producer Xavier, who you can follow here: https://www.instagram.com/techandcars/.

WE HAVE A WORLD SERIES! Riz & Dawg bring you Monday Night Live as the Atlanta Braves got ready to meet the Houston Astros in the 2021 World Series. How did these teams end up here despite having two of the oldest managers in MLB? The guys broke it down. They also were their own harshest critics of their pre-playoff MLB bracket picks, which did not go well!
We have seen some of the old-school thinking in baseball lead the Astros and Braves to the precipice of the championship. Riz & Dawg explained how some of the theories that spurned SABRmetrics and Moneyball morphed into the analytics overload happening today, and where that premise might have taken a left turn. Do the names of Hall of Famers Kirby Puckett and Frank Thomas excite you? They're the examples in a discussion you do not want to miss.
There was also a Diehard Dads segment carried by Riz this time, and a dedication of the show to Debbie Rizzo ahead of her birthday. Join us in wishing Deb a happy birthday!
Dawg kicked it off with Veteran of the Day. It was USMC Sergeant Matt Butler, a combat correspondent and social media pioneer who served 24 years in the Corps and now heads Fordham’s Military and Veterans Affairs office. Go Rams!

Riz & Dawg bring you Monday Night Live during the third game of the ALCS, as the Red Sox once again battered the Astros, and it was on the day off between the second and third games of the NLCS between the Braves and the Dodgers. The guys talked about all the moves happening on the fields, including Houston being left for dead already, even before they got down two games to one. And for the NLCS, how the Braves have a different look this time around against the defending World Series champion Dodgers, who dropped the first two games to Atlanta in the 2020 NLCS and were down 3-1 before rattling off three straight wins to steal the series.
There is news off the field, and the second NL Wild Card team the St. Louis Cardinals, parted ways with manager Mike Shildt, who was the 2019 NL Manager of the Year, and led the Redbirds to a franchise-record 17-game winning streak in September that bolstered them to an unlikely wild card appearance, in which they lost in the bottom of the ninth inning. Riz & Dawg took a look at the managers of the teams that own the longest winning streaks in baseball history as a bellwether of where Shildt might stand. Spoiler Alert: It should work out well for Shildt in his next stop.
Dawg kicked it off with Veteran of the Day. It was a stirring tribute to Gen. Colin Powell, the former US Secretary of State, who passed away at 84 earlier in the day.

Riz & Dawg bring you Quick Hits: Friday Night Live on a day where there were four Major League Baseball playoff games! With the Yankees and Cardinals finished off in the Wild Card round, the guys turned their attention to the action at hand, as the Rays and Red Sox battled through the middle innings of Game Two of their ALDS showdown and the Dodgers and Giants kicked off Game One of their epic matchup.

Riz & Dawg put the Mets' eventful season to bed, then jumped on the Yankees' (latest) resurgence the way Giancarlo Stanton was feasting on Red Sox pitching to lead NY to a key three-game sweep at Fenway Park. What does a 16-game winning streak by the Cardinals mean to baseball? They explored the angles, including the unpleasant ones for the Dodgers and Giants. And then we dubbed 2021 the "Season of Ohtani" because there is no guarantee Shohei will be able to duplicate his amazing season.
This one streamed live on the Facebook group, so there was some lively interaction with the commenters, including Uncle Paul and birthday girl Michele, whose request for Veteran of the Day was fulfilled by Dawg. As with all the shows, it's also available on YouTube, iTunes and Spotify (links are below).
Veteran of the Day was Henry J. Mascolo, US Army WWII Staff Sergeant. Mascolo fought in the Ardennes Campaign (1944-1945). His unit was one of the first to drive into Germany, under General George Patton, and liberated a concentration camp.

This is a big Mets episode. "Once Upon a Time in Queens," a 30 for 30 documentary by Nick Davis, grabbed our collective attention, so Joe Rizzo and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy broke it down. The happenings around the 1986 New York Mets came roughly a year before Riz & Dawg met at Fordham, and Riz's roommate and member of the Fordham Crew Tom Kavanagh was, believe it or not, a vendor at Shea Stadium for the season. Kav came on to share his first-hand experiences from the Mets' magical season, including his perch for the infamous Buckner play. How did he have a better view than Keith Hernandez? Tune in!
Riz & Dawg spent the first part of the show breaking down things related to the documentary and dove deeply into the 1986 season. There was talk about George Foster's significant part, the roles different players played, and even some surprising and shocking facts about that season's award winners. They caught a couple of mistakes and opined about some of the portrayals in the doc. If you have not seen it, this will not spoil it for you!
Veteran of the Day was MAJ Eric Schuler, 20-year veteran of the NJ Army National Guard and Operation Iraqi Freedom vet. He now gives back with the American Red Cross, including helping at Joint Base MDL supporting the Afghan refugees.

With the 20th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks this week, Joe Rizzo & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy brought in NYPD Detective Mike Safo to remember the events of 9/11 and thereafter. Our podcast is "About Baseball, and About Life" and this episode was more "life" with "baseball" thrown in.
Riz & Dawg listened as Mike recalled the tragic day thought his eyes as a 19-year-old Police Cadet. He gave a behind-the-scenes look at what was happening at the First Precinct. It was not what you would expect, and Mike described the mood and recounted the conversations that were taking place. He went into what many of us were seeing and hearing on the news at the time, explained his role as a Cadet, and the difference between what was happening at work versus what was going on inside his house.
Mike got into stories about his time with the NYPD, not only from September 11th, but also from his career. He gave a feel of what it's like to be in the precinct and some of the chats that go on. Then it was on to Mike's other endeavors, which are centered around world travel. And his unique Yankees fandom, which once got him divorced! (Seriously)
Veteran of the Day was Mike's grandfather, WWII vet Carmine J. Cluna.

As we head to the somber 20th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks, Joe Rizzo & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy kept it light as they went live on Facebook during the opening game of the Yankees-Mets series at Citi Field.
Riz & Dawg loosely monitored the last three innings of the game, which went to the Mets, 10-3, despite a late home run by (Cousin) Anthony Rizzo. They covered the state of the Yankees and Mets, and then dove in-depth into the playoff races, assessing everyone's chances in their unique way. It led to talk of using realignment to two divisions per league in order to expand the playoffs, and Uncle Paul chimed into the Facebook chat to help move around franchises. This subject might end up being its own separate episode!
There are a slew of shortstops headed for free agency in just a few months, and the guys dissected the situation around the Mets with Francisco Lindor. Was it the right move to sign him when they did, for 10 years and $341 million? The guys explained.
Then came the big reveal, as Riz made his prognostication on who will become the next Mets general manager. Based on his track record, you might want to make this one down (about the 47-minute mark). Then things got a bit somber with some 9/11 talk ahead of a light-hearted ending with Diehard Dada.

Simply put, the April 27th episode of Diamond Diehards turned out to be the greatest prognostication show in history. In this Quick Hits, we look back at that the scary foresite of that now-epic episode in which we predicted the reasons for the Yankees' stunning turnaround months before it happened.
Joe Rizzo & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy went to the archives with some help from producer Xavier Rizzo, as they found the clips and inserted them into the discussion. Who saw "Cousin" Anthony Rizzo on the Yankees? While the rest of the sports world was shocked by the deal, we called in. IN APRIL. Giancarlo Stanton off the bench and into the outfield? We saw it. Aaron Judge in center field? Yup, that too. And to top it off, we foresaw the possible off-season move of Corey Seager to The Bronx.
Don't believe it? Listen and watch for yourself. We laid it all out for you.

Come join us and get to know "Our Guy" Calvin Ziegler as he embarks on his professional baseball career.
Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy welcomed the Mets' second-round pick (46th overall) in the 2021 draft. Calvin, the highest-drafted Met to sign from his class, is a Canadian right-hander. He made his first pitch into the podcasting world with Riz & Dawg, and he was electrifying.
While we might not see him at Citi Field in Flushing for a few years, Calvin has the stuff both on and off the mound to set himself up for success. Growing up in Canada, he did not get the same amount of reps as players from baseball hotbeds, and having to deal with COVID put him even more at risk of losing development time. He explained how he managed to get over those obstacles, including a huge decision in February that turned things in his favor.
There are a few surprising things in Calvin's background, including the sports he played growing up. And for those who are just listening, you ought to get over to YouTube or Facebook and check out the video to see what's going on in the basement of his house. If you're a hockey fan, you'll be especially impressed!
Dawg kicked it off with Veteran of the Day. He went Canadian on this one, with Sergeant Charlie Byce of Chapleau, Ontario. Sgt. Byce, of the Lake Superior Regiment, received the Military Medal for his actions on a dangerous recon mission across the Mass River in January 1945. A statue of him was unveiled in 2016 in Chapleau.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy give you something different in this podcast about baseball and life. Find another show that's been talking about (Cousin) Anthony Rizzo going to the Yankees since the off-season. While other outlets saw this as a stunner, our Diehard fans were ahead of the game. Riz willed this one to happen for months. And he even showed off the Rizzo jersey and the Yankees Italian hat.
The guys dove in on every deal that happened at the deadline, with a condensed look at player movement and what the deals meant for both sides, in an easily digestible discussion. There was a focus on the movement of Cubs stars Rizzo, Javy Baez and Kris Bryant, plus the Dodgers' big moves and what they could mean in the future for ... the Yankees? Yes, the Yankees!
Kumar Rocker was drafted 10th overall by the Mets, who declined to sign him. Dawg recapped this unusual happening and the circumstances around it, while Riz (with help from MLB.com's Anthony DiComo's article here: https://www.mlb.com/news/kumar-rocker-does-not-sign-with-mets) cited some examples of how similar situations have panned out in the recent decade.
Dawg kicked it off with Veteran of the Day. It was Capt. Dave Winans, US Air Force Academy grad and intelligence officer. Capt. Winans worked in South Korea debriefing North Korean defectors.
We finished up with Diehard Dads.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. In this Emergency Quick Hits episode, Riz & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy jumped on after a crazy weekend in baseball on and off the field. And Riz brought a foul mouth, so hide the kiddies for this one!
Jacob deGrom hit the IL with forearm tightness and won't be eligible to return until July 26. Dawg is very concerned for the Mets' ace and, as a direct result, their otherwise dream season. The Yankees were bitten by the COVID bug and a slew of injuries, but the nameless replacements gave them a spark as they earned their first two wins over the first-place Red Sox after losing the first seven between the teams this season. Riz has a plan to make it continue, and if you have not heard it before, you're starting to hear the high-paid pundits taking his ideas to the forefront, namely the pursuit of Anthony Rizzo for the Bronx Bombers.
Meanwhile, the Mets and Yankees both have endured incredibly bad losses recently, but both managed to come back and have equally good wins.
There was a shooting outside Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. on July 17, and Dawg was able to shed more light on what the feelings were from people inside the stadium, per the account of a cousin who was there.
Dawg usually kicks it off with Veteran of the Day, but when it's a Quick Hit, we often reserve that segment for another episode. Same with Diehard Dads.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. In this Quick Hits episode, Riz & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy jumped on trying to give a primer for the second half of the season, but no sooner did the new break that COVID had once again F'd with the Yankees season, postponing the Thursday night game with the archirival Red Sox. So, of course, that dominated the conversation.
But there was something else that happened along the way. For once, someone did something nice on Twitter, without being asked or pressured. And that someone is Jessica Kleinschmidt (@KleinschmidtJD), who covers the Oakland Athletics for NBC Sports Bay Area. Listen in to find out what she did, and why we are now big fans of hers.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. It's raining in Queens, but everyone except the Brewers want Jacob deGrom to pitch, especially Riz & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy. NOT TONIGHT! The game got rained out three minutes before the guys went on air, but that did not stop them from lamenting about what a deGrom start means in 2021. There are many sides to it!
The Yanks head West with their hats their hands. Riz is all over it, as his team plodded to a 42-41 start that has fans of the Yankee Empire in a tizzy. Fear not, as he has been the voice of reason throughout the turmoil and continued in this episode to find a path for the Bronx Bombers to get back into the playoff mix. Yes, it ALWAYS involves (Cousin) Anthony Rizzo.
The guys did a first-half retrospective, with a focus on the Mets and Yankees. Before going on the air, they worked offline with Katie Healy on some social media stuff, so if you're here after seeing the TikTok or Quick Hits video somewhere, then we welcome you as a Diehard! We go in depth on the Mets-Yankees surprise player, disappointment and trade target at the halfway point.
Dawg kicked it off with Veteran of the Day. It was Army Staff Sgt. Joshua Fish, who is the only soldier in the Army National Guard and one of only 11 in the entire US Army who is a master trainer for both their Raven and Puma unmanned aerial systems (UAS) -- often referred to as drones.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. In a podcast about baseball and about life, Riz & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy did their "Thursday Night Live" format, just after Jacob deGrom left the Mets-Braves game, trailing 3-2 after a "human" outing. deGrom allowed three of the first four batters in the game to score, but ended up with 14 strikeouts in 7 innings pitched. Listen in as Dawg labored through the bizarre Mets-Braves finish in real time.
The Yankees entered the day 41-39, but their play recently has driven the public and their fans into a panic about what to do about it. Fear not, "Doctor" Riz has the plan to fix it, and it's an extension of what he prescribed earlier in the season when the Yanks hit a similar skid. Some interesting names would end up on the corners in Yankee Stadium if Brian Cashman could make good on these deals.
What happened on this date (July 1) in 1987 and 1992? Listen in to find out. You'll also get background on the NCAA's handling of the sudden dismissal of NC State from the College World Series, the lauding of new champions Mississippi State, and the curious final "out" off a bunt from Vanderbilt.
Dawg kicked it off with Veteran of the Day. It was Jeff Casucci, the cousin of Riz & Dawg's dear friend, Fr. Russ Murray, who was a beloved husband, father, son, brother, cousin, and uncle that passed away suddenly at the age of 49. Jeff is survived by his wife of 24 years and best friend, Alicia, who he met while at Airborne School at Ft. Benning, and their four children. Jeff and Alicia were married Oct. 26, 1996, the day his Yankees defeated her Braves in the World Series. The West Point graduate Served 5 years as artillery officer at Ft. Sill, Okla. He kept supporting vets after he left active duty. Jeff served for five years as the president of Sticks for Soldiers, Inc., a charitable organization designed to raise awareness among high school lacrosse players about the sacrifices of U.S. veterans. Jeff and Riz shared an alma mater, Bergen Catholic High School.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. In a podcast about baseball and about life, Riz & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy welcomed 1989 AL Rookie of the Year Gregg Olson to the show to tell his important story and harken back to his great career as one of the preeminent closers of his time.
Olson explained the details of his recent prostate cancer diagnosis and how it came seemingly from out of nowhere, with no family history and being in otherwise excellent health. He explained his story, and in sharing his message gave the many reasons why anyone out there should get tested.
Then it was on to brighter things. Riz threw some interesting stats at Gregg about his career, leading to discussions about current hot-button topics like the unwritten rules of baseball and the sticky stuff pitchers have been using to increase spin rates. Gregg also revealed what he would have patented from his playing days, as he was way ahead of his time! There was talk of radar guns, Randy Johnson and Nolan Ryan, and what those flamethrowers would be throwing today.
Since he is a closer, Gregg closed out the episode with a short story for Diehard Dads.
Dawg kicked it off with Veteran of the Day. It was Navy Captain Paul "Puck" Esposito, a friend and colleague of Gregg's at Auburn. He served and deployed numerous times throughout his career. He accumulated over 4,300 flight hours in his distinguished career.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. In a podcast about baseball and about life, Riz & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy went more of the "life" route for this episode.
Riz went for a long walk on a Sunday, and LIFE happened. This is the story of June 6, 2021. This episode features the return of the Salmon Jacket, for those who want to see the video (links below).
Dawg kicked it off with Veteran of the Day. It was TSGT Frank Peregory 29th Infantry Division, Virginia Army National Guard. Peregory earned the Medal of Honor on June 8, 1944, helping liberate the town of Grandcampe, France in Normandy. After artillery and tank fire were unable to destroy German machine gun positions, he braved machine-gun fire to crawl 200 yards uphill to wipe them out. He single handedly killed or captured 50 enemy soldiers.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Dawg brought back the livestream, as Jacob deGrom made his return to the hill at CitiField for the Mets, and the Toronto Blue Jays invaded The Bronx to take on the Yankees.
The guys talked about what is ailing the NY teams, despite their relative success in the standings to this point of the season. Names mentioned on this episode include: Dominic Smith, James McCann, Brett Gardner, Noah Syndergaard, Francisco Lindor, and some old timers! We worked Dave Kingman, Vladimir Guerrero Sr., Yogi Berra and our pal Jeff Frye into the conversation to illustrate the differences between today's hitters and those from previous times. Not to mention Ted Williams and Rob Deer! Twins in the World Series? And a very nice closing segment of Diehard Dads as we transition into the post-COVID era.
Dawg kicked it off with Veteran of the Day. It was retired Col. Ralph Puckett Jr., who recently received the Medal of Honor from President Joe Biden for his actions as a first lieutenant and the Eighth Army Ranger Company commander during the Korean conflict Nov. 25-26, 1950.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy "celebrated" Jarred Kelenic Day, as the Mariners' top prospect was promoted to the majors and set to play his first career big-league game. How did we get here? Riz & Dawg have debated the deal that sent Kelenic to Seattle since before it was official (Dec. 3, 2018), and now it was time for a retrospect and some background about their many debates on this subject over the years, outside of the Diamond Diehards airwaves.
The guys hit pitch after pitch on this one:
-
The Angels' life after Albert Pujols, including insight into what manager Joe Maddon said on another podcast, with Jayson Stark and Doug Glanville, that happened on the field the next night. Yes, Shohei Otani was right in the middle of it!
-
Barstool president Dave Portnoy had COVID twice, and now some of the Yankees apparently have, also, despite being full vaccinated
-
Matt Harvey's emotional return to Citi Field to face the Mets
-
Is the pressure in Seattle now off Evan White?
-
Diehard Dads tugged at the heart strings
Dawg kicked it off with Veteran of the Day. It was Hugh Miller, who was a rising star outfielder over 100 years ago in the Federal League, when duty called. Private Miller, USMC, earned the Distinguished Service Cross for heroism at the key WWI battle of Belleau Wood. Injured in the war, likely robbing him of a great baseball career, Miller received his DSC from General Pershing, which he said was the highlight of his life.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy did a Star Wars Day show, so May the 4th be with you!
There was so much going on in baseball and the guys covered all the bases. Jacob deGrom got scratched from his start for the Mets in St. Louis as the guys were hitting the air, but they were able to go with it and do an early assessment of what this means to Dawg's club. There was an examination of some of the Mets' pitchers injuries over the years.
The Mets had previously fired hitting coach Chili Davis late the previous night, in a move that made waves, as prized shortstop Francisco Lindor had not hit at all in his first month in Flushing. What does it mean to the organization, and to Lindor? It was up for discussion.
Tempers have flared around baseball, and some of the run-ins were brought up by the guys, not to mention the dubious umpiring calls that have reared their ugly heads the first month of the season. Did they blame everything on Adrian Hernandez? Maybe. And as the world blames Commissioner Rob Manfred for everything that is not right with America's Pastime, Riz & Dawg gave the commish a fair shake, at least, and broke down some of the "new" rules they do not like or could at least live with, and why.
The timing of losing streaks matters to big-market teams more than others! Riz explained the method behind his tweet and indicated the reason for the Yankees' resurgence to .500 at 14-14 after a 5-10 start that had fans feeling like the sky was falling.
Dawg kicked it off with Veteran of the Day. Usually we list it here, but you're going to have to listen because it's a surprise (and a really good surprise at that!

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and "The Dawg" Jeff Healy did Tuesday Night Live, as the Yankees took on the Orioles and the Mets faced the Red Sox. While the games were going on with little incident, the guys broke into some serious critique of the structure of the Yankees roster.
Riz & Dawg identified what they think are the critical flaws (not always in agreement). Riz came up with some ideas to revamp the outlook, and you're going to want to hear the proposals. Outlandish? The moves might sound like it, but there is a lot of reasoning behind what and how it could happen. Riz's Yankees potentially could look a world different with just a single player-for-player trade.
Dawg kicked it off with Veteran of the Day. It was US Marine Corps Veteran and former MLB outfielder Rick Monday. Monday, while playing CF for the Cubs at Dodger Stadium on April 25, 1976, famously saved the American flag from being burned on the field. Monday still owns the flag.

Joe Rizzo (usually) brings you baseball. Riz gave the "A" seat to "The Dawg" Jeff Healy for this episode, which came on the one-year anniversary of Riz ending his two-week quarantine after contracting COVID. Dawg walked Riz through what happened during the time he had COVID. The guys recounted their landmark episode last year, when in the early days of Diamond Diehards, Dawg took over and walked Riz through talking about what he was experiencing. That April 15, 2020 episode remains the most-downloaded in our history.
What marked the anniversary was Riz getting his vaccine earlier in the day. Feeling few ill effects of his first shot, Riz nonetheless handed the reigns to Dawg, who did his first-ever show opening and closing! In between, there was talk about things that have changed in the world and in baseball as a result of the pandemic, an update on some of the interesting happenings in MLB, and a Diehard Dads segment to close it out. How did he do? Tweet him @JeffHealy8 to tell him, and include @DiamondDiehards in there as well!
Dawg kicked it off with Veteran of the Day. It was Lt. Col. Frank Tantillo, Commander 1-102 Infantry Regiment, Connecticut Army National Guard.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy bring you a special episode after doing a Facebook Live with Katie Martineau, the unique baseball mom behind our previous guest, 15-year-old Connecticut baseball player Lillian Martineau. Katie came on for a chat about things behind the scenes of helping her amazing daughter navigate the fun but sometimes difficult waters of being a girl trying to make it in baseball as a teenager.
Katie recounted the emotional and difficult day a few years ago when Lilli was in seventh grade and denied a chance to try out for the baseball team. She gave insight into the way social media, with despite its pitfalls, has played a part in helping Lilli get some recognition, including her relationship with baseball pioneer Missy Coombes. Missy was watching along and adding comments, which Riz read and the crew talked about.
You can watch the video and see the comments here: https://www.facebook.com/713152174/videos/10157746984022175/
Katie talked about the roles within the Martineau family, gave an idea of what a typical day is like in their house, and added insight into what has helped Lilli keep up with her male counterparts on the diamond. There also was the requisite Grey's Anatomy talk!

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy welcomed in 15-year-old baseball player Lillian Martineau to talk about her love for the game and what it's like being a girl playing baseball in 2021. Lilli is from Connecticut and has played travel ball. She recently garnered headlines by making her high school JV team, for which she pitches, and plays first base and the outfield. She often shares her classic left-handed swing on social media.
This amazing young lady is also a stellar student, garnering straight A's for as long as she can remember. Lilli (@Lillian_Martineau on Twitter) has had her share of tough times being a girl in a sport almost exclusively played by boys, but she's also enjoyed some amazing support. Check out the moment when Riz & Dawg brought in baseball pioneer and former professional pitcher Missy Coombes to talk to Lillian for the first time. The two had exchanged messages before, but this was their first virtual meeting, creating a truly memorable moment.
There was a special installment of Diehard Dads as Lilli's father, Chad, jumped in for the final segment. The three dads talked about life with daughters, and Chad gave us some deeper insight into his extraordinary daughter with some of the things she has endured and accomplished in her youth. As an extension of this episode, Lillian's mother, Katie, will join the guys Wednesday, April 13 at 9 p.m. ET on Facebook Live.
Dawg got things going with Veteran of the Day. It was U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Robert Sodergren of Harwinton, Conn., a Vietnam War veteran who will be Connecticut’s 2021 Purple Heart Patriot.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy brought in Joe Lemire from SportTechie.com. Lemire broke Riz's heart in the seventh game of the Strat-O-Matic Elite Media Experts League and recounted what would be one of the most memorable games in MLB history ... if it was real. His Red Sox claimed seventh-game victory over Riz's Cardinals.
Lemire (SportTechie.com, @LemireJoe on Twitter) also talked hardball with Riz & Dawg about being a contributor to MLB Network and the New York Times, explained how the tech business has infiltrated everyday operations in baseball, took on the online debate of old school vs. data-driven baseball, and more. He even gave insights on an old Wiffle Ball injury and his brother, Jonathan, who is a political reporter covering the White House for The AP.
Dawg got things going with Veteran of the Day. It was Joe's grandfather, Robert "Red" Lemire. Joe explained what his grandfather accomplished during World War II and expounded on how Red was the key piece in making the next generations of Lemires into baseball people.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy brought in Steel City stample Rob Biertempfel, who covers the Pirates for The Athletic, to the show to talk about all things Pittsburgh. Rob went in depth about the recent history of the Pirates, the promise that Ke'Bryan Hayes has brought to the franchise, and reviewed the thought pattern behind his recent post of the 20 Greatest Moments in PNC Bank Park history for the 20th anniversary of one of MLB's most beautiful stadiums.
Could the Pirates become Padres East with a little love and an injection of funds? Riz, Dawg & Rob broke down the possibilities. And don't miss Rob's inadvertent domination of our Diehard Dads segment!
Dawg got things going with Veteran of the Day. It was Rob's dad, Army medic Bob Biertempfel, who served during peacetime in Europe.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball (now for a year!). Riz & "The Dawg" Jeff Healy brought the show over the one-year threshold as they welcomed in frequent co-host/guest Jerry Milani to celebrate the memorable moments from Year One of Diamond Diehards. If you're new to us, find out the backstories of how the show began and get some insight into the backgrounds of Riz, Dawg and Jerry, who have known one another for over 30 years (that means they've been friends for longer than most other podcasters have been alive ;-).
This was not just a trip down (recent) memory lane, as Riz, Dawg and Jerry discussed the ramifications of injuries to White Sox OF Eloy Jimenez, closer Kirby Yates and CF George Springer of the Blue Jays, and Yankees 1B Luke Voit. There was some talk about a possible MLB misstep by not bringing enough televised content from Spring Training, and a quick preview of the upcoming Strat-O-Matic Elite Media Experts League Finals, between Riz (Cardinals) and Sportchie.com guru and MLB Network contributor Joe Lemire (Red Sox). In fact, Lemire is going to be on an upcoming show to discuss the Strat league and share his wealth of baseball knowledge!
Our social media pal and teen baseball phenom Lillian Martineau aced her tryout and made the JV baseball team at her high school, so there was a pause for celebration of this inspiring young athlete. And the guys wished former Orioles closer Gregg Olson a healthy recovery from prostate cancer.
Dawg got things going with Veteran of the Day. It was Dr Mary Walker, the only female Medal of Honor recipient in US history.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz flew solo with Jeff "The Dawg" Healy taking this one off, and chatted about stories of baseball and life with former major-league catcher and long-time Princeton Baseball Head Coach Scott Bradley.
Bradley had a nine-year career in the Majors with the Yankees, White Sox and Reds, but mostly with the Mariners, with whom he caught Randy Johnson's first career no-hitter. Bradley recounted what it was like receiving for the Big Unit, but it did not stop there. He went in depth about the catching position from the levels of youth to the majors, expounded about the philosophies of America's Pastime from the eyes of players and coaches, and dug deep into what it takes to run an Ivy League program where his kids have been limited to five games in 2020 and none in 2021, versus the high-profile programs that are stealing headlines today, like Vanderbilt.
Bradley also talked about the controversies with launch angles, catching on one knee, wristbands for calling pitches, and gave his take on Gary Sanchez of the Yankees. Riz also asked Bradley a trivia question about his playing career! They finished it with Bradley talking about his well-accomplished older brother Bob (and Bob's son, Michael) and younger brother Jeff.
With Dawg out, Scott pinch-hit to honor the Diamond Diehards community by delivering Veteran of the Day. It was Scott's father, Gerald Joseph Bradley. A member of George Company of the Third Battalion of the Fifth Marines, Bradley was one of the Chosin Frozen, from the historical Chosin Reservoir Campaign in late 1950, among his many accomplishments.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy got their Mets mojo going as Mike Puma joined the show, becoming the first guest to come back a second time in the history of the show. Mike is the long-time Mets beat writer for the New York Post. His book, "If These Walls Could Talk: New York Mets" is available right now: https://amzn.to/3f7xKtJ
Mike was a classmate of Riz & Dawg at Fordham University, and the trio spent time on the air together at the great WFUV back in the day. The chemistry remained, as the guys covered Francisco Lindor and his contract status, the Carlos Carrasco injury, the spring doings of Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard, the situation around the DH (or lack of it), and the third-base battle.
Puma's stories in the NY Post can be found here: https://nypost.com/author/mike-puma/
Dawg got things going with Veteran of the Day. It was SFC Leigh Hester, the first woman Soldier to receive the Silver Star for combat valor. As a team leader for her MP Company in the Kentucky Army National Guard, she deployed to Iraq in 2005. When her convoy was attacked, she led the counterattack that saved the convoy, killing numerous enemy combatants and saving everyone in her unit.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy did Quick Hits for this episode. They kicked if off with an unboxing, courtesy of our friends at StratOMatic.com. The Rizzo brothers, Producer Xavier and Webmaster Dominic, handled the opening of the box and the description of its contents while Riz and Dawg followed along with excitement to see the cards and dice from the best baseball board game ever. Check out the video on our YouTube or Facebook!
The discussion moved to the aces for the respective New York teams, as Jacob deGrom and Gerrit Cole already look like they're in midseason form on March 16. There was a breakdown of what lies behind them in the respective rotations of the Mets and Yankees. Plus there was a look at the Nationals, with Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg.
And then the conversation turned to the spring bomb Shohei Otani launched for the Angels, a 464-foot blast against AL Cy Young winner Shane Bieber. There was a dive into what the Angels could do with their two-way superstar to maximize his value, with Riz & Dawg going outside the box and disagreeing with what has been conventional wisdom.
Dawg got things going with Veteran of the Day. It was 2nd Lt. Jocelyn Coutant, the first female infantry officer in the Connecticut Army National Guard. A former sergeant in an aviation unit, she decided to go to Officer Candidate School, then branched to Infantry Basic Officer Leader Course. She is now deploying with her unit, the 1-102 Infantry Battalion to the Horn of Africa to fight the War on Terror.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy welcomed former professional baseball player Missy Coombes in honor of International Women's Day and, of course, baseball!
Missy (https://twitter.com/MissyCoombes) pitched for the Colorado Silver Bullets, an all-female professional baseball team, from 1994-96. A crafty lefty, Coombes knows the game inside and out. She recounted her amazing story, starting with a zinger for Riz and covering her time with the Silver Bullets, her All-America career on the softball diamond for Cal State Fullerton, her relationship with the Niekro brothers, and general philosophies of pitching and playing from decades of knowledge. She even talked about her unique new-age mentoring of young female baseball player Lillian Martineau (https://twitter.com/Lilli_Martineau) across social media.
Dawg got things going with Veteran of the Day. It was General Ann Dunwoody, the first 4-star female general in US Army history. GEN Dunwoody rose through the officer ranks commanding at level. Her last assignment was head of US Army Materiel Command. GEN Dunwoody retired in 2012 after a 38-year career.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy did Quick Hits, covering the market for Jake Odorizzi, what it's like to see actual Spring Training games with fans, and what that means to us when we are battling through our COVID-ridden society.
Dawg got things going with Veteran of the Day. It was Major Mike Kerns, a member of the US Army Special Forces Green Berets for 14 years. Major Kerns has an MBA from UConn, a BA from Holy Cross, where he pitched, and hails from Riz's alma mater, Bergen Catholic High School. He was nominated for Veteran of the Day by fellow BC alum Jay Porcelli.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy covered all the topics making news off the field as all the great pictures of baseball are showing us that spring training is here. They covered Dominic Smith's interview of Barry Bonds, Taijuan Walker taking No. 99 in deference to Mr. Met, Scott Kazmir's comeback attempt, Riz's playoff run in the Strat-O-Matic Elite Media Experts League, and the situations surrounding Yankees pitcher Domingo German and former Mariners CEO Kevin Mather. Nothing was off limits on this episode.
Dawg got things going with Veteran of the Day, which was Negro League Hall of Famer Bullet Rogan, who served in the Philippines prior to WW1 with the 24th Infantry Regiment (an original Buffalo Soldiers unit), then re-enlisted in 1914 and served during WW1. The guys closed it with the Diehard Dads segment, and they kept this episode fast-moving!

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy dropped Quick Hits as we move into the first weekend of Spring Training 2021. Todd Frazier signed a minor-league deal with the Pirates, Taijuan Walker inked a two-year contract with the Mets, and Brett Gardner re-signed a one-year deal with an option for 2022 with the Yankees while the guys were on the air (they nailed it).
Quick Hits episodes are shorter than usual, so if you're looking for Veteran of the Day and/or Diehard Dads, they'll be back next game. There was a Facebook livestream for this one, and the video can be found on the YouTube and Facebook channels for Diamond Diehards (see below). Plus we have DiamondDiehards.com now so check it out!

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy stopped what they were doing and immediately did an emergency episode as Fernando Tatis Jr. signed a $340 million deal for 14 years to remain with the San Diego Padres. Where does this deal rate? The guys broke down the angles on what could make it the perfect deal and where it could go wrong. Plus took a look at things outside the box from a financial perspective.
It was a great day for baseball, as the league's biggest emerging star made news for the right reasons on the day where players were reporting to spring training in various sites across Florida and Arizona. It's days like this that are the reason we are diehards for hardball!

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy welcomed former MLB infielder Jeff Frye to Diamond Diehards. Frye had a nine-year career on the field, and has been working ever since as a player agent. He's found himself these days outing self-proclaiming hitting gurus and their unusual drills, many of them costing parents and players a pretty penny for the quirky instruction.
Frye covered his careers on and off the field, and revealed the genesis of becoming the actual Certified Hitting Guru (that's his Instagram handle!). There was also some talk about the great Nomar Garciaparra, among other players, plus a recap of Frye's accomplishments on the field.
Diehard Dads became a three-man segment for this one, as our guest joined Riz & Dawg with a good story about one of his sons.
Dawg presented Veteran of the Day. It was Frye's good friend, Colonel (retired) J. Craig Flowers. Flowers served as a military intelligence officer, specializing in human intelligence. His 25 years in the US Army included a decade overseas, including three years in Morocco and 10 years in direct support of the special operations community. His final military assignment was at West Point, where he served as senior staff officer, Director of Cadet Affairs and Assistant Baseball Coach.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy worked the baseball angles coming out of Super Bowl 55, in which Tom Brady claimed his seventh title, defeating Patrick Mahomes in the quarterback battle. There are a lot of baseball ties the guys uncovered, aside from the obvious about Mahomes' father being a former MLB pitcher.
The segues were aplenty. Riz welcomed in the growing new audience with a reset of who he and Dawg are and how they got here, and then it was on to the Strat-O-Matic Elite Media Experts League chatter. Check it out here: https://365.strat-o-matic.com/league/453191.
Who else is elite? Trevor Bauer is ... at least his contract says so. It was not just Bauer changing addresses, though, as Riz & Dawg analyzed the A's-Rangers trade, and the re-signings of Yadier Molina to the Cardinals and Marcell Ozuna to the Braves, respectively. Dawg dug deeper into the contract numbers and what they mean today and in the future for the way teams do business, using Bauer and D.J. LeMahieu, along with Ozuna, as examples.
Diehard Dads gave Riz a chance to vent about ordering food for the family, and somehow producer Xavier Rizzo became the hero of the segment.
Dawg presented Veteran of the Day. With a nod to Black History Month, it was Hall of Famer Louis “Big Bertha” Santop, the first Negro League superstar. A veteran of the Navy (1918-19), Santop once outhit Babe Ruth in a 1920 postseason series. Read more about him at the Negro League Baseball Museum website, and note that museum president Bob Kendrick is the Royals manager in the Strat-O-Matic League: https://nlbemuseum.com/history/players/santop.html

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy jumped on as Trevor Bauer, the biggest fish in the free agency pool, narrowed down his decision to two teams, believed to be Dawg's Mets and the World Series champion Dodgers. They went late-night on the East Coast in hopes that the news would break while they were streaming live on the Facebook Group.
The guys broke down what the Twitter stream was saying about Bob Nightengale as things were happening, and Riz gave the scenario where a mystery team would come in at the 11th hour and possibly steal away the prized pitcher. Dawg simply wants Bauer with the Mets, which also would give Riz a win for calling it before the off-season.
Diehard Dads uncovered how Dawg is suddenly a single dad, but you'll have to listen to the last part of the show to find out the details. Riz lamented about his steam shower.
Dawg presented Veteran of the Day. With a nod to Black History Month, it was the Secretary of Defense, Garry Maddox. Maddox joined the Army after getting drafted by the San Francisco Giants, with whom he had a contract dispute about rookie ball pay. After basic training, he volunteered for Vietnam, where he served.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy, finally inside after clearing snow for hours upon end, turned on the Hot Stove with some old-school Strat-O-Matic chatter. The guys have been entered into the Strat-O-Matic Elite Media Experts League, with Riz repping the Cardinals and Dawg piloting the Mets. Follow it here: https://t.co/Y1zQOp6R9k. Riz & Dawg battled it out in Strat many times during the Fordham days, and while this might be a little different, Strat-O-Matic 365 has made it feel real for them. Your favorite co-hosts are in it to win it! So follow along and interact as the three-week season goes along.
The Strat talk led to a review of Scott Rolen, as he is on Riz's Cardinals team, and his Hall of Fame credentials were scrutinized. That led to talk of Nolan Arenado, and how alike he is to Rolen (and David Wright, as Dawg could never resist talking about his Captain). The guys also covered the retirements of Dustin Predoia and the less-heralded Daniel Murphy, Chipper Jones joining the Braves as a coaching consultant, and Fernando Tatis Jr. grabbing the cover of MLB The Show '21.
Diehard Dads was a huge segment, as Riz & Dawg lamented about clearing the two feet of snow, while Riz added a classic story of how snow shoveling and a conversation with his father ended up in a broken phone.
Dawg presented Veteran of the Day. With a nod to Black History Month, it was Al Bumbry. Bumbry, an outfielder for the Orioles and Padres from 1972-85 and the '73 Rookie of the Year, served as a platoon leader in the US Army from July 1969-July 1971, earning a Bronze Star for heroism for his service in Vietnam.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy remembered Hammerin' Hank Aaron after his recent death. This show was on the night where the Hall of Fame announced its class of 2021, which included zero players and the noted absence of Curt Schilling. The guys reviewed Schilling's case and reviewed why it was adjudicated the way it has been for the past nine years where he's failed to get in.
There was the matter of current personnel, as JT Realmuto re-signed with the Phillies, and Riz & Dawg talked about what that means in baseball for finances and competitiveness. Since the previous show, there were also changes in the status of George Springer and Brad Hand, plus the Mets' firing of Jared Porter.
Diamond Dads was a mixed bag near the end of the show, and it got a new name: Diehard Dads, which Dawg kept calling it, anyway, and Riz called it in the description of the previous show (you can look it up - and also subscribe and listen while you're doing so).
Dawg presented Veteran(s) of the Day. It was Betty White, who recently turned 99 years old! White served as a supply truck driver in the US Army Supply Volunteer Corps during WW2.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy did a Martin Luther King Day episode. They reflected on the importance of the day before a transition into some Hot Stove happenings, including how Twitter apparently decided that Luis Castillo was being traded from the Reds to the Yankees. Was it debunked? The guys discussed how it could happen and why the rumors came about. They covered what DJ LeMahieu's 6-year, $90 million deal with the Yankees means to him and to all the other free agents out there - you might be surprised at the financial impact around baseball. The Padres, Pirates and Mets pulled off a three-team trade during the show and Riz & Dawg gave immediate analysis.
Diehard Dads returned, with Dawg explaining his water bill. He was wrong about the Healy's water concumption by orders of magnitude.
Dawg presented Veteran(s) of the Day. It was the famed Tuskegee Airmen. Read more about these amazing men here: https://www.tuskegee.edu/support-tu/tuskegee-airmen

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy did an emergency episode as Francisco Lindor was traded from the Cleveland Indians (for now) to the New York Mets. The guys broke down the trade, and reviewed the new potential lineups and pitching staffs of the Mets and Indians. There was Yankees talk, with a unveiling of a possible deficiency in The Bronx that may have cost the Bombers in playoff series the past few seasons, and a big reason the Yankees and Mets would make great trade partners if they were brave enough.
Diehard Dads returned, with Riz sharing a story about a very special Audi. Dawg kept calling it Diamond Dads. Tell us which name you like better.
Dawg presented Veteran of the Day. It was Major Walt Cano Army Engineer Iraq vet and a US patent holder!

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy rang in 2021 with their first show of the new year, talked about the end of 2020, and surveyed the slow landscape of the Hot Stove, where there has not been much action. Will the season start on time, and will the games be played? The guys used other sports as an example, plus broke down the financial aspect to determine the answer.
This show had a unique start, as Dawg presented Veteran of the Day and it became the entire first segment of the show. Jerry Coleman is in the US Marine Corps Sports Hall of Fame, and is in the Baseball HoF as the 2005 winner of the Ford C. Frick Award for his broadcast work, mainly with the San Diego Padres. The guys recapped his three amazing career, as a Marine who fourth both in World War II and the Korean War, as a four-time World Series champion infielder with the New York Yankees, and his amazing time behind the microphone. You can hang a star on the Veteran of the Day, who was celebrated seven years to the day of his passing, at age 89.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball, for the 50th time! Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy welcomed back Jerry Milani, an expert on Hawaii 5-0 AND baseball, for the landmark episode.
Jerry has been working with Strat-O-Matic, and helped the guys go over all their defensive ratings, which just came out. The trio applied some of the Strat knowledge to real-life decisions being made across Major League front offices right now. Who got robbed and who got hooked up? Listen for your favorite teams and favorite players, because the guys covered them all.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy rang in the official arrival of winter with some old-fashioned baseball hot stove debate, with George Springer the first topic. Is Springer down to the Mets and Blue Jays? Riz had a very decisive opinion about that one. Dawg reiterated his desire to have Springer join the Mets, and then it was on to Trevor Bauer, who Riz thinks should be the apple of the Mets' eye.
Could Bauer end up in Anaheim? The guys covered the Angels' recent front-office moves, including the reported hiring of Ray Montgomery, friend of the show, from the Brewers. Bauer's former team, the Reds, is also making some noise by apparently testing the waters for deals on the remaining pitchers from their rotation, Luis Castillo and Sonny Gray. The guys broke down who could be suitors, what they might offer, and why it would or would not make sense.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy watched the first domino in the offseason fall, and it was a big one. James McCann hit on two categories, as he is a catcher and now a Met. Riz & Dawg calculated the next moves for the Mets and what their signing of McCann means for the rest of the league when it comes to the vital position behind the plate. Where will JT Realmuto land? Should the Mets prioritize Trevor Bauer or George Springer next? Riz had a very strong opinion and might have swayed Dawg, as he did with the catchers.

Dawg was a week ahead on calling the potential for owners to push back the start of the season, and went deeper into depth on that point as news broke earlier in the day that it was being discussed. That was not the only thing from an ownership standpoint that made news, as the guys discussed the final season of the Cleveland Indians, who announced they are changing their name -- albeit after the 2021 season.
Those owners have begun to sign players to one-year contracts, and Riz took a look at three outfielders and their deals, tasking Dawg to throw economics at the issue to see if this becomes a predictor of deals we are going to see over the next few months. Not to be left out were the saga of DJ LeMahieu and his negotiations with the Yankees, a view of what the threshold should be for them to sign him, and what options they have if they moved on.
Dawg presented Veteran of the Day. Gustave F. Perna is a United States Army four-star general who serves as the chief operating officer of Operation Warp Speed. It was another timely choice, with the COVID vaccine seeing its first injections into Americans earlier in the day. Perna is a New Jersey native who attended Morris Hills High School, before graduating as a Distinguished Military Graduate from Valley Forge Military Academy and College with an associate degree in business administration.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "The Dawg" Healy check out what is going on with MLB's Virtual Winter Meetings, including moves that have been made and ones that might be upcoming and how that could affect the market. As usual, they are awaiting for the big first move from the Mets, but they also examined the Angels' moves, their status since signing Albert Pujols, and what the COVID vaccine would mean to the economics of baseball in 2021 and thereafter.
Dawg presented Veteran of the Day, the late Chuck Yeager, who died Dec. 7 at age 97. Brigadier General Yeager was the epitome of American dominance in the air, most famously remembered in the book and movie The Right Stuff. Then a captain in the Air Force, Yeager was the first person to break the sound barrier Oct. 14, 1947. He shot down five planes in a single day in World War II, and 13 overall. He flew over 150 different aircraft as a test pilot and logged over 10,000 flight hours. Author Tom Wolfe put it best: ”He was the most righteous of all the possessors of the right stuff.”

On the first show post-Thanksgiving, Riz & Dawg talked about the catchers. They broke down the reasons Dawg wants JT Realmuto and Riz wants James McCann. As players, agents and GMs seem to lie in wait for Steve Cohen and the Mets to make the first move, the guys identified a potential spoiler who could strategically jump into the mix. Also covered were the latest assessment of Trevor Bauer, the Charlie Morton deal with Atlanta, and George Springer.
There was a section about finances, in which Riz tasked Dawg with figuring out net dollars vs. gross dollars, and how it would potentially change the luxury tax threshold, plus the implications for salary cap in the NFL, NHL and NBA.
The Veteran of the Day, delivered by Dawg, was Vietnam veteran Bill McCann, who started the Vittles for Vets organization. His charity provides $50 grocery gift cards to Veterans in need. McCann earned the 2019 Red Cross Military Hero Award as a result of his work with Vittles for Vets. Contribute here: https://www.vittlesforvetsradfordva.com/.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy broke some more new ground, streaming the show Monday Night Baseball Live Hot Stove show on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter/Periscope and Twitch, this time WITH the Dawg being heard on all of them! Once again, Dawg's Mets dominated the early part of the conversation as the guys broke down the front-office moves and strategized how Theo Epstein will end up in Flushing. There are a lot of moving parts, but they covered them all. There was talk of how D.J. Lemahieu might be the biggest domino to fall in free agency, because it affects what the Yankees will do and who they might be looking for. A full breakdown of the Yankees' and the Mets' lineups were part of the discussion.
With Epstein's departure, it called for an examination of how he left the Cubs. Riz & Dawg determined the fate of Kris Bryant on the show, and once again promised an Diamond Diehards appearance from "Cousin" Anthony Rizzo during the off-season.
The Veteran(s) of the Day, delivered by Dawg, was US Army 1SG Elizabeth Cornejo, who is the owner of Kali, the winner of the Dogs on Deployment 2020 Military Pet of the Year (MPOTY) contest. More: https://bit.ly/3q6oDfQ

It was an exciting next step in the Diamond Diehards journey. The guys discussed how the free agency market will get cooking when the Mets make a move, contemplated Theo Epstein's next step, and broke down the historic hiring of Kim Ng as Marlins GM, the first female to hold such a position in any of the North American major sports.
The Veteran of the Day, delivered by Dawg, was none other than Abner Doubleday.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy did the show on Facebook Live (https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiamondDiehards). On Veterans Day, our own Army Dawg gave his thoughts about what the day means to him and others who have served their country. Dawg spoke at length about it in one of the can't miss moments in Diamond Diehards history.
To kick it off, the guys dove right into the Mets' situation, with ownership moving to Steve Cohen, who promised to make the franchise relevant and looked for a World Series within the first 3-to-5 years. Riz & Dawg broke down different philosophies the Mets could weight in terms of roster construction for today and down the line. There was a review of the possible free agent targets, with most of the focus on all the pros and cons of signing NL Cy Young Award winner Trevor Bauer, plus All-Star catch J.T. Realmuto and centerfield standout George Springer. The guys had different outlooks for who they'd go after and what they'd offer.

The Veteran of the Day, delivered by Dawg, was CW4 Michael Grenier, Accounting Supervisor US Property and Finance Office Connecticut Army National Guard. Grenier enlisted in 1979. He was mobilized and deployed for Operation Desert Storm (1990-1991) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (2009-2010). Fittingly for this episode, he is a big Mets fan, going back to the days of George “The Stork” Theodore.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy did the show on Facebook Live (https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiamondDiehards). Justin Turner was diagnosed positive with COVID-19 during the series-ending sixth game of the World Series on Oct. 28. He was forced to leave the game and instructed to quarantine, which he did until the Dodgers clinched the trophy. He missed the initial celebration but then joined his teammates on the field in celebration.
Riz & Dawg talked about the situation, which immediately took headlines away from the World Series finale, in this Diamond Diehards episode. They guided their way into the off-season, looking ahead to what is coming in the next few months.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy did the show on Facebook Live (https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiamondDiehards). The Los Angeles Dodgers are World Series champions, and the guys were on live for the final few innings all the way through the post-game.
Riz & Dawg appeared to have rallied the Dodgers, who trailed 1-0 until the guys started the Facebook Live session that prompted a two-run rally. They told stories as the game evolved and reacted to the big moments. It's a great listen even if you knew what happened in the game, and if you missed some of the finer details then this is a good way to catch up.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy did the show on Facebook Live (https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiamondDiehards). They went live during the NLCS Game Seven between the Dodgers and Braves, jumping on during the Seventh Inning Stretch and stayed all the way through until the end, when the Dodgers completed their dramatic 4-3 victory.
In the meantime, the guys talked about how they somehow plan on being in Arlington, Tex., for the World Series, and the amazing baseball season that was so in doubt for a long time. Riz recalled the April show that put us on the map where Dawg talked him through the experience with COVID and how we went from dreaming about ANY baseball game to a pair of epic League Championship Series matchups that were preceded by great playoff series and a pretty awesome regular season of 60 games.

The Veteran of the Day, delivered by Dawg, was late Fordham baseball coach Dan Gallagher, who was a US Navy vet during the Korean War. Coach Gallagher guided the Rams for 21 years, producing seven titles and 500 wins, which is second all-time for the winningest college baseball program in history (yes, it's Fordham). It led to Riz & Dawg discussing some Fordham baseball stories that you most likely did not know. If you watched the livestream, Riz had the Fordham baseball field for his background. Bravo Zulu, Coach Gallagher.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy did the show on Facebook Live (https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiamondDiehards). They went live during ALCS & NLCS games. They observed how the Rays are changing the game with players like Randy Arozarena, and tried to determine who might be the best position player on Tampa Bay. Riz made a bold prediction about Game 4 of the NLCS, and the guys burst into the hot stove talk, especially regarding catchers like JT Realmuto and Gary Sanchez.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy did the show on Facebook Live (https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiamondDiehards). They went live during the decisive fifth game of the ALDS between the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays, hours after the announcement of the death of Whitey Ford. Riz put it all on the line and watched the Yankees get eliminated, giving The Dawg some solace after he watched the Mets go down time after time during episodes this season. They recapped the key points of the game and the series, broke down the Astros and how they got to the ALCS yet again, and looked at the paths of the Dodgers and Braves, who meet in the NLCS.
Are these playoffs legitimate? The guys give their answers, but you might want to especially hear their live reactions to some questionable umpiring. Was that enough to make them switch over to Game 5 of the NBA Finals? You might be surprised at the answer (actually, you won't be). Since it was a big day with all of this going on, there was a lot of Mike and the Mad Dog talk and homage going on. Mike Francesa did the final segment of Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo's show on Sirius XM earlier in the day, and it helped provide some memorable Diamond Diehards moments. There was also an influx of new names popping in to view the live stream, prompting Riz & Dawg to attempt to speak a little Spanish.

The Veteran of the Day, delivered by Dawg, was Ford, the late Yankees legend and Hall-of-Famer. Ford began his career with the Yankees in 1950, won nine games that year, then enlisted in the military during the Korean War. He served as a private in the signal corps at Fort Monmouth. He played 20 games as a pitcher and 20 as an OF while in the Army. His service lasted two years, after which he returned the Yankees, where he played until 1967. Ford has been quoted as saying, "Army life was rough. Would you believe it, they actually wanted me to pitch three times a week."

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy did the show on Facebook Live (https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiamondDiehards). They recapped their selections from the epic first round of the playoffs that was just completed, and remembered late Cardinals legend Bob Gibson.
Riz & Dawg reviewed each of the eight series from the first round, then they dove into the forthcoming ALDS and NLDS. They re-racked their picks for this round and gave the "why" for each along the way. There also was a listener question of Gibson vs. Koufax if you could pick either for a 7th game that grabbed the guys' attention. They also threw out some speculation on where Trevor Bauer will end up next season. And they addressed the question of the potential legitimacy of a Marlins World Series title, should one be in the offing.

The Veteran of the Day, delivered by Dawg, was late Yankees legend and Hall-of-Famer Yogi Berra. Yogi joined the Navy in 1943 at age 18 and served on a rocket-launching boat on D-Day, after which he spent nearly two weeks shooting down enemy planes. He later served in a second assault on France and received a medal from the French government. Some 60 years later, he received the Lone Sailor award from the U.S. Navy Memorial.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy did the show on Facebook Live (https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiamondDiehards) and broke down how the Milwaukee Brewers somehow reached the MLB playoffs despite never spending a day over .500 during the 60-game season. In an absolutely insane week in sports, Riz & Dawg streamed during Game Six of the Stanley Cup Finals, which the Tampa Bay Lightning won to take the Cup, and while the Kansas City Chiefs beats the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL Game of the Year. Plus the NBA Finals between the Heat and Lakers are about to get under way as MLB hits the post-season.
But it's (almost) all about BASEBALL on Diamond Diehards, so the guys broke down every series and every team in the tournament. They also put themselves on the line and predicted the entire bracket. Their selections were very different, but somehow each picked their champion from the same first-round series! Listen to find out which one.

The Veteran of the Day was late St. Louis Cardinals Hall-of-Famer Stan Musial. Musial was drafted into service in 1944 and called to duty in January 1945. Musial was assigned to a ship repair unit in Pearl Harbor, but still found time to play baseball in the Navy's on-base league. After 15 months of service, Musial was released from service as a seaman first class in March of '46 (h/t https://www.mlb.com/cut4/stan-musial-joins-us-navy-in-1945/c-157059718)

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy did the show on Facebook Live (https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiamondDiehards) and broke down the new TV deal between MLB and Turner Sports. Dawg showed off his copious note-taking talents and reviewed the best parts of MLB commissioner Rob Manfred's interview with Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo, with Riz jumping in to expound on some of the more interesting parts. There was also the interaction with the commenters on Facebook Live, with Uncle Paul and Love Amores getting extra attention.
Riz forced Dawg to do a "Who's In & Who's Out" for the final four playoff spots in the National League. Riz also revealed his selections, and they were not the same. The key is the five-game "Suds" series in St. Louis between the Cardinals and the Brewers (hence the title: Playoffs on Tap; get it?).

The standings were changing during the show, and Riz & Dawg laid out where things stood plus figured out how the mad scramble over the weekend might turn out. It was not just them reading back some article - they injected some real thought into what fans might expect based on what we have seen thus far this season. If you have been catching up on previous episodes, you'll see that many of the things Riz & Dawg talked about came true in some way.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy did the show on Facebook Live (https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiamondDiehards), just after news broke that the MLB playoffs will be played in bubbles after the initial round at teams' regular stadiums. The AL will play in California cities Los Angeles and San Diego, while the NL will be Texas-style in Houston and Arlington, where the World Series will be conducted in the Rangers' new stadium (without the Rangers on the field). Riz & Dawg found some intriguing angles as to how it could work to the advantage of some teams.
The other big news Sept. 15 was the agreement of a deal between the current Mets ownership and Steven Cohen, who should have control of the franchise by the end of 2020. Cohen figures to be among the richest owners in North American team sports, but the guys explained the scenarios where he would be inclined to spend big bucks and where he would not. They also examined why pundits are incorrectly assuming that Cohen will make the Mets the highest-payrolled team in MLB.
The NFL started over the weekend to much less fanfare than usual. What were Dawg and Riz watching while the pigskin was flying around empty stadiums? You might be surprised the find the answer. At this point in the show, Uncle Paul and some of the other regulars began to pick up steam on the Facebook Live comments, and that pushed the show into a different direction, which including the addressing of the massive western wildfires that have spurned ashen skies throughout the continent. It prompted Riz & Dawg to send the Bat Signal out for Tim Tebow!
The guys continue to do more shows live, and are looking to move forward to also get it on YouTube, Twitch and other outlets, so keep an eye out for that and give us feedback. We want to know what you prefer!
The Veteran of the Day was US Army CPT Davis A. Gilvary of the 82nd Airborne. He is the late father of longtime Fordham crew member Jane Gilvary.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy did the show on Facebook Live (https://www.facebook.com/groups/DiamondDiehards), and while they were able to work in baseball, they mostly talked about what September 11 meant to them, including stories of how they watched the terror, what they did and how they felt in the moment as New Yorkers. For what usually is a baseball podcast, the emotions of the hosts were clear, especially for Dawg, who served in the Army. The guys recounted from a baseball standpoint how important the famed Mike Piazza home run was in giving the Mets a tearful win over the archrival Braves in the return game. And the details of President George W. Bush's amazing ceremonial first pitch of the 2001 World Series at Yankee Stadium. They recalled the immediacy of the change in the American way of life and noted the galvanized unity of American citizens that commenced as they watched the Towers get attacked an eventually fall. Riz also left a gem to the end as a reward for those who hang around and listen all the way through (commercial-free).

The Veteran of the Day was US Army Col. Rick Rescorla, who died inside the Word Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Rescorla first served in the British military before coming to America in the 1960s and making a career in the Army. He was director of security for Morgan Stanley, for whom he created and applied the evacuation process that helped most of the company's 2,687 employees in the buildings get out. He's the soldier pictured on the jacket cover of the book "We Were Soldiers Once… And Young," which was the basis for Mel Gibson's movie, "We Were Soldiers."

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy jumped on Facebook Live for the Yankees @ Mets game, while honoring the late Tom Seaver. Dawg once again got to celebrate a win by his Mets, who trailed 4-0 and 7-4, but rallied for a 9-7 wain on a walkoff two-run homer by Pete Alonso leading off the 10th inning (yes, a two-run homer leading off the inning, because of the extra-inning runner-on-second-to-start-the-inning rule).
As the game moved along, Riz & Dawg managed to interact with those in the chat on Facebook Live, and also recounted Seaver, who was known as The Franchise and Tom Terrific, and lived up to that billing. Dawg even wore his vintage Seaver #41 jersey, and told the story of how he got it and where the jersey had traveled (think: Gulf War). We also figured out that Tommy Hutton was the pedestrian player who made his career against Seaver (https://www.nytimes.com/1977/05/28/archives/mets-bow-as-hutton-drives-in-4-hutton-an-old-nemesis-routs-seaver.html).

The Veteran of the Day was Seaver. According to the Marine Corps Times, "During the Vietnam War, Seaver served an eight-year commitment, including three months of boot camp, three months of active duty at Camp Pendleton outside of San Diego and 5½ years of reserve obligation."

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy jumped on Facebook Live for the conclusion of the Mets-Orioles game. Dawg once again got to celebrate a win by his Mets, who were led by Michael Conforto's four hits and five RBI. For perspective, Conforto raised his average to .331 and his OPS to .960 by the end of this game. After the game ended, the guys addressed the suspensions coming from the Rays-Yankees game from the night before, in which Aroldis Chapman buzzed Mike Brosseau's head. In an unlikely turn, Dawg defending the Yankees. Meanwhile, Brosseau homered in the first inning while the discussion was happening, as the Rays jumped out to an early lead.

The Veteran of the Day was none other than Uncle Paul. PFC Paul Laera served in the US Army from 1964-66, MOS 76-Y: Unit Supply Specialist. His primary unit was 1st Battalion, 47th Infantry Regiment. He loves the Mets, but also likes the Yankees, and is a big baseball fan.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz, Jeff "Dawg" Healy and Jerry Milani brought the show to Facebook Live for the first time ever, and the community got involved. If you want to check out the video, you can find it on the Facebook group below.
Lots to unpack here. It was Jackie Robinson Day in MLB so all players were wearing uniform number 42 in his honor. Late in the show, the stunning news broke of the death of actor Chadwick Boseman, who played Robinson in the recent movie. Before that it was Dawg's chance to have his day, finally. Dawg's Mets have lost seemingly every time he has been doing a show while they played a game. With Yankees fans Riz & Jerry on the hook and the Mets already having taken the first game of their doubleheader, Dawg got to watch as Amed Rosario hit a two-run walkoff homer for the Mets in the bottom of the 7th inning. There was interaction with the viewers on Facebook, who posed some very solid discussion topics, including baseball in Canada, rules changes that might stay longer than 2020, and sports' place in society during a tumultuous year that has included the recent boycotting of some MLB games. Jerry also shared a story about Scottish actor Sam Heughan of Outlander, which has nothing to do with baseball but might cause someone to find this episode when searching his name. ;-)
The Veteran of the Day was Ct. Tom Healy, Dawg's father. He might end up being Veteran of the Day if the Mets keep winning.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jeff "Dawg" Healy posed the question: Is this the best baseball season ever? There's a strong case for it if you listen closely. The guys also covered the plethora of doubleheaders and what they might mean to MLB in the future. Will we see 7-inning games for scheduled doubleheaders in 2021? Which of the other 202 rules will carry over? Is small-ball coming back, despite all the home runs being hit? Riz & Dawg check out teams like the Orioles, who are witnessing the arrival of a number of their young hitters that seem good at putting the ball in play but seem to share a low (for this day and age) walk rate. The torture for Dawg continued, as his Mets were shut out in the first game of a doubleheader with the Marlins while they were on the air, and were headed to a second shutout loss after the show ended.
The Veteran of the Day was LTC Mark Tallo, the Command Judge Advocate of Connecticut Army National Guard. He has 24 years of service and was deployed multiple times, including time served in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz & Jerry Milani (pinch-hitting for Jeff "Dawg" Healy) got down to business about the Cardinals coming back online and having to play multiple doubleheaders per week for the rest of the season in order to catch up. But there is an angle here, and the guys were not ready to dismiss St. Louis like the rest of the baseball world. In fact, it's quite the opposite, and they explained why (hint: If you have been listening to previous episodes, you got a preview of how things are playing out for St. Louis in real life).
Riz then dove into Wizard World with Jerry, who is one of the hosts of their awesome online interactive panels. Wizard World is about pop culture and Jerry has helped sports -- especially baseball -- find its niche there. He recently moderated a panel with Tampa legends Wade Boggs and Doc Gooden, and another with members of the 1969 Miracle Mets. Riz said he got it on good authority that one of the members of the cast of the Vampire Diaries was a baseball fan, and he asked Jerry to assist in his diabolical plan to get her on Diamond Diehards, unbeknownst to the two big Vampire Diaries fans in his household.
The Veteran of the Day was the late Ronald DiBenedetto, Jerry's uncle, who served in the Marine Corps.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball, this time on his birthday! Riz wanted to celebrate his birthday by bringing on longtime friend Dave Schultz, who is the program director and host of afternoon drive show The Game Plan on WNSP 105.5 FM in Mobile, Ala. Riz & Dave have flown in the same circles for nearly 30 years, starting at the Baseball Winter Meetings at the Fountainbleu Hotel in Miami Beach in 1991. That is where the minor league war stories began, and they were aplenty for the episode. Dave is originally from Syracuse, NY, and explained why the Blue Jays using Buffalo as their home city for the pandemic has extra meaning to him. It has a connection to his first job in Baseball, where he was in Wichita, Kan., in the Texas League. Riz had Dave recount his stops all through the minors and also his radio and career posts, where he has recorded a long history of success. In addition to being Riz's birthday, it also was the anniversary of Dave moving to WNSP, where you often can hear Riz do guest spots about MMA (and maybe some baseball ones sometime in the future).
For the Veteran of the Day, Riz asked Dave to choose. Thus, this show is for Judge Jack Schultz, who happens to be Dave's father. Judge Jack Schultz enlisted in the Army following high school graduation in January 1945. He was stationed at Fort Lewis outside of Seattle. Following an honorable discharge, he hitched-hiked back across the country.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. The season is in full swing despite COVID-19, so Riz & Jeff "Dawg" Healy are stepping it up to bring you more episodes. No need to wait for the usual Friday night Mets debacle when we have one on a Monday! The guys kicked it off talking about the Mets-Nationals game, which already was 12-0 for the World Series champs before they hit the record button. There was an analysis of Marcus Stroman's opt-out, Steven Matz's horrendous outing, and Yoenis Cespedes' golf game, which transitioned to a review of the Cardinals' potential schedule, which could call for a doubleheader every fourth day. Does that mean they should throw in the towel? Riz & Dawg think there is a chance St. Louis could make the schedule work in their favor. Information about what is happening on a daily basis is at a low point for the Internet era, thanks to the scant amount of reporters actually attending games, and the guys analyzed why that is, while giving props to pal Mike Puma, the Mets' beat writer for the NY Post who was the only reporter to travel on their recent trip to Atlanta. Puma also had a tweet about the Mercy Rule in MLB, which prompted a lively back-and-forth exchange. The Angels' Jo Adell made the podcast for his efforts in the outfield over the weekend, and the NHL and its Draft Lottery also brought some discussion, in that it might be a preview to some of Baseball's potential administrative decisions. The guys also came up with a potential trivia question in Jeopardy fashion, with their old Fordham pal Miguel Jimenez being the answer, but the question being unclear.
The Veteran of the Day was World War II Purple Heart recipient George Kitcher, who died March 20, 1945, five days after taking wounds. The 63rd ID, 254th Regimen, 1st Battalion, A Company was taking Einscheim, possibly punching toward the Sigfried Line.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. In what seemingly has become a Friday night ritual, Riz and Dawg ended up watching the Mets, and once again they ended up with a disappointing loss, this time to the surprising Miami Marlins. The Marlins moved to 7-1 with the win, and Riz & Dawg broke down how they got there, where they will go from here, and what they need to do to make the playoffs under manager Don Mattingly. They also were critical of a move Mets manager Luis Rojas could have made that might have changed the outcome of the game (and the season). The guys also broke down the Cardinals and how they have fallen behind in the schedule. What is the disadvantage? Well, not so fast -- maybe it could actually play to St. Louis' advantage, and Riz & Dawg explained how it could happen (hint: The Cardinal Way, coupled with forward-thinking management and execution, plus a bit of sorcery, dark arts and Adam Wainright).
The Veteran of the Day was Sgt. Elijah Churchill of the 2d Continental Dragoons, from Enfield, Conn. He was the first Purple Heart recipient, from Gen. George Washington himself, and this episode was dropped on Purple Heart Day!

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz guided Jeff "Dawg" Healy through the agonizing blown lead in the Mets' 11-10 loss to the Braves, as it happened while they were on air. Dawg could not stomach Dellin Betances and Seth Lugo blowing a 10-6 lead in the 8th after New York held an 8-2 lead in the top of the 5th. Dawg and his gin & tonics lamented about the pain of being a fan of the Metropolitans, while Riz and his Yankees cruised to a 5-1 win over the Red Sox. The guys also addressed the surprising 5-3 start for the Tigers, and assessed their chances of making the playoffs, although it's still early. There was a lot of talk about the COIVD breakout that sidelined a few teams, namely the Marlins and Cardinals, and what that could mean in terms of the trade deadline and the playoff hopes for all teams down the line. Dawg talked about how he would kick Joe Kelly's ass, but the guys also broke down the unfair 8-game suspension of the Dodgers' reliever and the scenario between Los Angeles and the Astros. There was plenty of talk about the effects of COVID-19 on the MLB season, a deep dive into the Cano-Diaz trade the Mets made with the Mariners (Riz called it, Dawg did not), and love for the fact this episode was recorded when the Padres were at the Rockies in a real Major League baseball game.
The Veteran of the Day was Riz's old buddy Elias Ibay, and there was a special shoutout to Riz & Dawg's beloved college friend, Dr. Chickee.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. The MLB season is FINALLY under way. Riz & Jeff "Dawg" Healy obliged with a game companion as the Mets hosted the Braves in the season opener for both teams. If you have the game on DVR or want to follow along, start in the third inning (the guys talk about it shortly into the episode). As usual, the Mets were playing well on Opening Day, and they have the best such record in MLB history. Jacob deGrom threw five scoreless innings and Mike Soroka matched him, plus added another inning. When Yoenis Cespedes hit the game-winning homer, Riz was tipped off and it made for the most memorable "live" moment in the history of Diamond Diehards.
This episode also marked the end of an era in broadcasting, as Mike Francesa was set to do his final scheduled show on WFAN. Riz & Dawg went over Francesa's career and what he meant to broadcasting and, in recent years, to social media. This was a fun show which included whiskey! And the Mets went on to win (of course, because it's Opening Day!).

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz was joined by Larry Fleisher of Forbes, who also is a long-time wire-service reporter, mere hours ahead of the long-awaited MLB season opener between the NY Yankees and World Series champion Washington Nationals. Larry mostly covers the Yankees but has been all over the sports map. Like Riz, he is a veteran of ESPN SportsTicker from back in the day, although they never actually worked together, missing out by a very short time. Riz & Fleisher (@LarryFleisher) recounted war stories from MLB locker rooms, compared the Strat-O-Matic simulation to Larry's personal sim, and used the data and knowledge to try and uncover sleeper teams and players for the 60-game sprint season. Larry is reticent about traveling to cover games at the stadiums because of the COVID situation and explained why, which led to a discussion about the effect of the pandemic on the media, teams and everyday workers inside and outside of baseball.
On a side note, Larry became the first voice in the history of the podcast that did not attend Fordham University. He went to St. John's. He also worked for Strat-O-Matic ... but that is a teaser for his next appearance on Diamond Diehards.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy are back, and so is baseball. The lively banter was about the impending return of baseball, slated for July 23, when the Yankees visit the defending World Series champion Nationals. A full breakdown of the scenarios around rosters, potential COVID infections, in-game strategy, season planning, and general baseball chatter exploded in the first 45 minutes. Then the guys tapped the breaks and Dawg talked about his experience visiting the Ripken Complex in Maryland while his son was playing games there, plus there was talk on what it means to kids and parents to be returning to the fields to play the game we love. No politics, just love for the game, and a spin on which teams might be sleepers coming into the 60-game MLB sprint.
This episode is dedicated to Riz's beloved father-in-law, Antonio Ignoffo, who passed away June 29.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy talked about the best baseball movies on the latest Diamond Diehards. For some of these, you have to be a real diehard, and for others, they're great movies no matter what. Dawg chose the top 35 list from Rotten Tomatoes in order to give the guys a view from the so-called movie experts. The terrain was rough for a lot of the choices, and the guys took more time to talk about the movie they loved, and where they should be on the overall list. Since our pal Jerry Milani was not with them, most of the older movies were left for another episode (we love you, Jerry!). After they breezed the Rotten Tomatoes list, they grabbed a top 25 ranking from MLB.com and that one sounded a lot more like what Riz & Dawg had in mind. In the end, there seemed to be just one omission, at least on Riz's end, and he cannot believe he missed it (even right now, as he is typing this and, thus, talking about himself in the third person, a la Rickey Henderson). Riz & Dawg also covered the Strat stuff at the end, and about starting up Facebook live sessions.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz teamed up with Fordham classmate Ray Montgomery, who is the Special Assistant to the General Manager of the Milwaukee Brewers, and they covered a lot of ground. Montgomery patrolled the outfield with the Houston Astros from 1996-98, but has enjoyed a career off the field for the better part of the last two decades. Riz and Ray walked back through his career from Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains, NY, through his time at Fordham, in the Show, and then his finish in the minors. Included was the amazing story of Ray's only career major-league home run, and the shared anecdote longest homer ever hit at Fordham's Jack Coffey Field. They covered the MLB front-office areas from scouting, player development and roster construction to the potential labor issues and management and uncertainty of a truncated season in 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Some of the names that came up during the hangout were Trevor Bauer, Archie Bradley, Brooks Kieschnick and Keston Hiura.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz was joined by Mike Puma, who is the NY Post beat writer for the Mets. Riz and Mike go back a long way, to Fordham and WFUV, where they spent time together on the air covering sports and Rams events. The focus was on Puma's time covering the Mets for the Post. Mike broke down how the coverage is going during the COVID pandemic, including his trips back and forth to Florida for Spring Training. The guys looked at the Mets roster for the (hopefully) coming season, dove deeper into some players, like Jeff McNeil, and examined what could happen during a truncated schedule. Mike has a book coming out called "If These Walls Could Talk: New York Mets" that it is slated for release in April 2021. He talked about how the book spans the better part of the last 20 years for the Mets, what it took to put it together, and some of the important names he interviewed, including Mike Piazza. In the middle of all this, Riz threw a curveball and asked Puma to tell the amazing story of how a birthday cake saved the life of the woman who would eventually become his wife, on Sept. 11, 2001 (there is a baseball-related twist). Riz kicked off the show with a quick update on the Strat-O-Matic simulation standings, and Mike hit the mic around the 6:30 mark.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz was joined once again by Jeff "Dawg" Healy and they jumped into the 1952 World Series between the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers. Spoiler alert, the Yankees won in seven games. Riz and Dawg started with Game 7, but could not resist looking back deeper into some of the key moments in the series when they were examining the performance of beloved Dodgers star Gil Hodges. Hodges was a borderline MLB Hall of Famer, probably the most borderline ever, considering how close he continually came, including consideration from the Veterans Committee, without getting in. While there are always plenty of numbers to digest for these types of arguments in baseball, the guys talked about the things that can be overlooked, especially so many years after the era in which a player competed. For some comparison, Riz related a story about the red-hot documentary "The Last Dance" featuring NBA legend and former minor-league baseball washout Michael Jordan, with regard to rival Isiah Thomas. Riz & Dawg are set to talk about Jordan some more down the line, once the documentary covers his Airness' time with the Birmingham Barons of the American Association.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Riz and Jeff "Dawg" Healy joined up for this episode and turned back the clock to the 1970 MLB All-Star Game, which then led them down a rabbit hole. There was a complete breakdown of the amazing careers of Le Grand Orange, Rusty Staub, and all-time great Willie Mays. They dug up some historic names from 1970, and Riz shared a story about Hall of Famers Jim Palmer and Johnny Bench from the radio broadcast. Dawg explained why Rusty was his favorite players as a kid, even though he only saw him in the early 1980s, in his second tour with the Mets. Riz went year-by-year on Staub and Mays, who stunningly won only two MVPs, and did that 11 years apart. There was also the April 27 update on the Strat-O-Matic simulation, including the games, standings and league leaders.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Or at least he did until getting interrupted by a bout with COVID-19. Riz came back on the air after a week off and talked with Dawg about his story, and his time in isolation away from the family. He still has a little time left before he can rejoin the population, but so far has fared pretty well. The guys had chatter about the latest Strat simulation numbers, and went over the games and the standings while trying to add some flair to what would have been Jackie Robinson Day around the majors. After Riz's Coronavirus recount, the guys turned to MLB and tried to figure out what kind of plans might work when the games return to the field. How long could the regular season be? What kind of playoffs could be contested? Could a March Madness idea actually work on the diamond?

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. After finally taking a day off, Diamond Diehards came back strong as Riz finally had a three-way deal with Jeff "Dawg" Healy and Jerry Milani from the Fordham Crew. The Strat-O-Matic simulation results led things off and then it was on to chatter, as the guys had been watching the classic movie Major League, and brought it to real life. What if Pedro Cerrano had the Astros' garbage-can advantage and always knew when the curveball was coming? What was Jake Taylor's arm behind the plate? Then there was some chatter about noted Strat-head Keith Hernandez, Gregg Jeffries, and the Mets and Yankees of the mid-late 1980s.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball. Where it seems there is none, he's taking the Strat-O-Matic simulation of the 2020 MLB season as seriously as if it's happening in real life. If you're tired of hearing of Coronavirus and COVID-19, then this is your solace for about a half hour (sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less) a day. Riz, who has brought you an episode every single day since the season started, gave you the scores and highlights from a full Monday slate of baseball, with the spotlight on young white Sox slugger Eloy Jimenez and Royals lefty Danny Duffy. Could Jimenez battle for the Triple Crown this season? Riz also paid tribute to Hall-of-Famer Al Kaline, who died April 6. Kaline was a legend for the Detroit Tigers, and finished in the top three of the MVP voting three times, with a couple of near misses to Yankees catchers.

Riz, who has brought you an episode every single day since the season started, gave you the scores and highlights from a full Sunday slate of baseball, and went in-depth into the standings. Could the Padres possibly play the Indians in the World Series in 2020? Well, that might be worth a futures bet if you give any credence to how Strat handled the first 16th of the simulated season. So close your eyes, drift away, and let yourself imagine there is BASEBALL.

Joe Rizzo brings you baseball, even when it appears there is none to be had. The Strat-O-Matic simulation continues and we have been with you every single day thus far to talk about it. For this episode, there was a little less stress on the games and more on the kids, as Joe's sons Dominic and Xavier joined in as co-hosts. The Rizzos talked about major league baseball and social media, and then they covered what it's like to be a teenager going through the pandemic in 2020. The hang stayed centered mostly on baseball, and how its general absence has made the kids a little less likely to pick up the ball and gloves and have a catch, or do anything baseball related after online school is complete. Dominic and Xavier also gave advice to fellow kids who might be listening to this alongside a parent, and it's not just about staying inside and playing video games!

Joe Rizzo was joined once again by Jeff "Dawg" Healy from the Fordham Crew for this episode, covering the MLB slate for April 3, 2020, based on the Strat-O-Matic simulation. Riz & The Dawg broke down the surprsingly compact seven-game Friday slate in depth just as if it had happened on a real field and not a digital one. They gave some good inside stuff for the Strat-Heads as always, and injected some humor into the mix as we sit in our homes and deal with the effects of the Coronavirus. Dawg even talked about the possibility he might join Twitter (pro tip: you can actually find him on the Facebook Group).

Join Joe Rizzo as he navigates the 2020 MLB season the only way he can - by living the Strat-O-Matic simulation like it's 100% real. Riz recapped the highlights from April 2, which included the Nationals raising their World Series banner and Stephen Strasburg showing the form that made him the MVP of the Fall Classic. Jorge Soler has been a star of the simulation and he has Riz buzzing, plus the Yankees won their home opener in caveman fashion. The slate featured just 10 games on get-away day, but Riz was sure to inject references here and there for the Strat-heads. He is trying to not overdo it because we don't want to turn off Average Baseball Jane and Joe.

Joe Rizzo brings you simulated baseball like it's REAL, during the pandemic. Strat-O-Matic is doing a game-by-game simulation of the MLB season, and Riz is treating it like it's absolutely, positively 100% REAL. Listen, and believe. Live through the ups and downs of your favorite team, follow the trends, stats and (made-up) stories that make America's Pastime so dear to our hearts. In the April Fool's episode, Riz was not in a joking mood, nor was most of the rest of the world. So for the second straight show, he stuck to baseball, recapping each game with such vivid detail that when you listen back to this in a few years you would not be able to tell if the games were simulated or happened on the field. The buy-in is key, and the more you do, the more you should like the show. If you're a fan of any of the California teams except the Dodgers, then this episode worked out well for you, since the Angels, Giants and A's were the featured games, and there was a good win by the Padres that Riz recounted. He also injected references here and there for the Strat-heads, but is not overdoing it because we don't want to turn off Average Baseball Jane and Joe.

Joe Rizzo brings you the last slate of games from the 8,000-day March, as Corey Seager, Madison Bumgarner and Max Kepler starred. Riz took a different approach for this one, breaking down each game and flying through them like the highlight reels you might see on MLB Network (sans video highlights because this is a simulation, people!). Since all the teams were in action, your favorite team is covered at least in some part in this episode dedicated to inclusivity. You're a Phillies fan? We gotcha covered. Rockies? Sure, there's talk about Nolan Arenado's performance on the virtual field and his potential for digital locker room disgust.

Joe Rizzo gets you ready for another indoor month, talking about the Strat-O-Matic simulation like it's real life. Jorge Soler was the biggest star on Monday, March 30, with three homers and six RBI while going 4-for-5 to lead the Royals in Detroit. Rafael Devers hit his fifth homer for the Red Sox, while Trevor Story hit his fourth and fifth for the Rockies as they knocked the Dodgers from the ranks of the unbeaten. But it's not always just about the simulation, it's also about baseball stuff. Riz took a segment to bring The Raja, Rogers Hornsby, back to life, thanks to a serendipitous rabbit hole he went down on Facebook. You never know what lies in store on Diamond Diehards, but that's baseball!

Joe Rizzo makes baseball come to life with the help of old buddy and fellow WFUV (Fordham) alum Jeff "Dawg" Healy. This is the most in-depth review of the games through four days of Strat-O-Matic's amazing simulated MLB season. For Strat-heads, this one will be extra special, because there is a lot of chatter about rolling on pitchers' cards to create rallies, noting time and again where it happened in the Sunday simulation. The guys created a full slate of baseball for you to pass the time and get a couple of chuckles during the Coronavirus quarantine.

Joe Rizzo is joined by PR expert and Strat guru Jerry Milani (@GBPackJerry) to talk about some of their history together playing Strat-O-Matic, including the Hall of Fame 2000 season in which they went head-to-head for the title, in an at-bat that came down to Goose Goslin vs. Sandy Koufax. Jerry is like the Joe House to Riz's Bill Simmons, but this is the Fordham version. They sprinkled in the Strat simulation results from Saturday, March 28, and highlighted the performers of the day, including David Price and Eloy Jimenez, plus took a look at the league leaders through two or three games. There were no rainouts! But there was some history on middling Yankees relievers, from Adam Ottavino to Cecilio Guante. Tune in to find out how they are linked!

Joe Rizzo is back with the second day of the Strat-O-Matic 2020 baseball season simulation, and the stars were a couple of SoCal infielders and Rafael Devers (again). Rizzo examined why Devers' former teammate, Mookie Betts, could possibly never play a game for the Dodgers after MLB and the MLB Players Association ironed out some details about how service time and other important off-the-field issues will be handled. What will rosters and a schedule look like if regular-season baseball is being played through October, with November playoffs? Also, for Strat diehards, the importance of lefty-righty matchups usually means the difference between success and failure.
