Red Hot Mama: Episodes
So, those Reds traded Ryan Freel, eh? Might actually be a decent move, I suppose, but against the backdrop oft he cluster that is Dusty Baker’s management, it’s hard to see this move as anything other than more of said cluster.
In any event, the massive level of annoyance that it aroused ...
This episode is recorded live on location at beautiful Victory Field in Indianapolis, Indiana. The last place Indianapolis Indians (Pirates’ affiliate) hosted the division leading Louisville Bats (Reds’ affiliate) as they always do during the holiday weekends.
The Bats had long since clinched ...
As much as this season sucks for Reds fans, it’s got to suck even harder for the players. I mean, sure, they’re making the big bucks, but I can escape the games by going to work. For them, the games are the work. When I’m in the office, only a handful of people give me [...]
This week on the podcast, the CTS and I take the day off work to visit Victory Field where the Indianapolis Indians took on the Charlotte Knights for a business person’s special. The background noise is all AAA ball, but the subject matter is all NLC.
In addition to a minor sunburn, our seats on the [...]

The injury to Adam Dunn’s ...

We discuss our trip to Victory Field tonight, and how the Columbus Clippers are now a Nationals affiliate that employ Ray Olmedo.

We haven’t had time to podcast since our 100th. And with RHM being out of town on business this week, it wasn’t looking good, but I cranked up the old recording studio and took a shot at recording a solo effort.
It’s short (that’s what she said) because I discovered quickly that ...
After much delay and many false starts, we finally recorded our 100th Red Hot Broadcast this evening from the left field seats in Victory Field in Indianapolis. Due to the Mother’s Day game being rained out yesterday, the Indians scheduled a double-header, with each game intended to be only seven ...
About three weeks ago, The Crack Technical Staff and I recorded a joint podcast with the guys from The Astrocast, live on location in Houston, Texas. With all that testosterone in the room, this one is longer than normal, coming in at a little over an hour of baseball hilarity.
Tonight on the Red Hot Broadcast, the Crack Technical Staff and I record from our first-grade son’s baseball practice at a the diamond behind a local area elementary school. We committed to this multi-tasking because we knew that you’d want to hear, from our own mouths, our discussion of ...

We discuss the regular team stuff: additions since last year, rotation, ...
Our Brewers preview interview was postponed last night due to our recording equipment picking up an errant AM radio station. We’ll try again tomorrow, but in the meantime, the Crack Technical Staff and I catch up on what’s been going on around the division.
Ruh-roh, Astros
Kaz Matsui has ...
Tonight on the podcast we talk to a Red Hot Mama favorite, Bellyscratcher (aka Rebecca). Tonight it wasn’t about the smack talk, though, just some friendly discussion of how the St. Louis team is looking for 2008. On this episode we discuss:
The antics of Tony LaRussa, Scott Spezio, and Rick Ankiel
The ...
Tonight on the podcast we talk with Pat Lackey, writer of Where Have You Gone, Andy Van Slyke?, contributor at the Fanhouse, author of a chapter for the Hardball Times season preview, and all-around media darling. We talk about:

Dusty Baker should stop ...
It was a quick podcast tonight, apparently to save time for the three posts that went up today. You can just feel the baseball in the air!
The formal agenda was the final arbitration update.
The Astros defeated Valverde in arbitration, but have to wait a couple days to hear the decision for Mark Loretta’s ...
