from Baseball Tonight with Buster Olney · host ESPN, Buster Olney

Is Shohei Ohtani the Cy Young frontrunner in the NL? Hembo and Buster discuss that, plus, the Mets’ lineup struggles and Mason Miller mowing guys down. Then Cincinnati Reds infielder Sal Stewart stops by to chat with Buster about his big weekend in Miami, how studying gives him confidence, his at-bat approach, and which pitcher gave him a good cat-and-mouse game. Then, Alden González stops by to talk about what stood out during Jackie Robinson Day at Dodger Stadium, Ohtani’s ridiculous pitching performance, and if Steve Cohen will make a move at manager. Later, Todd Radom rates the new City Connects, Sarah Langs plays The Numbers Game, and Buster answers your questions during Bleacher Tweets. 3:06 Hembo joins 3:32 Shohei Ohtani Cy Young frontrunner? 8:17 Mets lineup 11:17 Padres Mason Miller 14:28 What makes Sal Stewart great 17:48 Reds Sal Stewart stops by 18:28 Hometown series in Miami 20:26 Winning the Spring Training free throw contest 24:51 At-bat approach 29:02 Watching Bo Bichette hit, hitting against Garrett Crochet 30:17 Alden González joins 31:22 Stories from Jackie Robinson Day at Dodger Stadium 35:46 Shohei Ohtani continues to marvel 38:42 Dodger offense 40:09 Mets… yikes… 43:46 Sarah Langs plays The Numbers Game 44:50 Todd Radom rates City Connects 54:13 Bleacher Tweets CALL THE SHOW: 406-404-8460 EMAIL THE SHOW: [email protected] REACH OUT ON X: #BLEACHERTWEETS Follow The Baseball Tonight Podcast on… YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHeL6O-A-ASmSMwbSCFvPKEq1Cslo_lrw Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5FG6xCcd338SgZjZ9urHRI Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/baseball-tonight-with-buster-olney/id137699414 Learn more about your ad choices.
