Blake Street Banter

We cover a lot! Karl Kauffmann gets the nod which is everything! We start with all the callups on May 16, who is next, who's been raking and what will the Rox do going forward.

Another two-part pod. The first 32 minutes is Aaron going through the minors. Blake Adams continues to do sweet things for Fresno and Jackson Cox is back!. Hartford continues to have fun with Veen having a welcome-back week while Darnell is earning 2 inning saves with passion. Spokane was on TV last week and we got to see some fun -- Jordan Beck to be exact. Cande also dealt while Justice stayed r...

Its been a month as a Rockies fan. There are obvious issues, but maybe there is something more to it. We try to find the light as we discuss Bud Black and the Starting Pitching, and Brenton Doyle may be that light! Around the 35-minute mark, we get into the ROAD TO BLAKE ST section and do things differently. We give you an audio list of players in 6 Moon Tiers -- On The Moon, Taking Off, Doing Wel...

Sorry for the terrible audio first few minutes but make your way through it to get to the meat and potatoes of the pod this week where we get to Family of the Pod, Blake Goldsberry. We talk golf and his rehab last year to what he hopes to get out of his 2023 season. Then Aaron walks you through the Minors as we try to get in to a routine next week.

First 42 minutes is a recap of the first 10 games of the Rockies season. Louis and James join Aaron and we discuss the state of affairs that is Rockies Baseball. The final half of hte pod is a quick jump around the MiLB affiliates with a lot of Isotopes Banter. We talk Jones, Toglia, Coco and Schunk. The Arm Barn is nice for the Topes and Logan Allen is making a case to be the next guy up.

OD roster surprises - Daniel Bard unfortunately, Connor Seabold over Gavin Hollowell, No Toglia TRADES - Locey and Zeuch Quick OD recap (7-2 win over Padres) - CJ Cron is still a tank, Love seeing Montero get that first homer out of the way, German looks sharp. Huge x-factor this year Isotopes Preview: Rotation looks like: Karl, Noah, Lambert, Rogers, Olivarez?, That arm-barn though?? Valdez, Pint...

We finally got a chance to figure out who tf Adam McKillican is! Long story short, if there is an obstacle in the way Adam is going to find a way to get past it. He walks us through his time playing college ball in Canada where he then gets TJ where he then goes to Georgia and wins an NAIA championship. Won't want to miss the part where he was released by the Rangers, his family was in town, a...

Tyler and Nick get us caught up with the first 4 weeks of college baseball. Nick admits that he was wrong, but with what, while Tyler comes in with his sleeper picks and players that are looking good to start the season. We cap it off with some names the Rockies could take with their first 4 round picks. Per usual, we start the pod with some MSU recognition. 24 hour game Ump being a punk Positive...

We were joined by Fresno Grizzlies Johnny Bravo and Stephen Rice. We discuss Bravo’s stache and his hard work with Tequila Fest and the WBC. We get into the new MLB rules, and old MiLB rules with Stephen Rice — PITCH CLOCK IS GOOD FOR BASEBALL! After some new rule discussion, we highlight some of the Promotions happening in 2023 at Chukchansi Park. SPOILER: there are pickles.  We end the sess...

The Rockies injury bug has officially revealed its ugly head. B-Rod and Gilbreath are out for the season, hopefully not too much more than the season. We discuss the injuries and all the options the Rockies have -- it is a fun conversation to have!  Which Rockies will hit double digits? Over/Under 5.5 players to hit double digit homers?  Around the 36 minute mark, Dugan Darnell stops by...

Joined by Purple Row's Kenneth Weber (@kdub1988) and DNVR Rockies Patrick Lyons (@PatrickDLyons) , this is a must-listen. We start with the Best Alternate Logo and it got contentious quickly. We quickly get into some Rockies Affiliate Banter where we predict the Hartford Yard Goats rotation. One thing is certain, each night will be a must-watch arm night! We answer some questions regarding Tovar a...

AARON SCHUNK! The league leader in doubles last year, Schunk spent some time to talk all things between Hall of Fame to his fly fishing passion. He shares the story of how he ended up at Georgia instead of a Big 10 school, and it wasn't based on the weather. Schunk shared his admiration and respect to his teammates throughout the interview, which speaks a lot of who he is. However, he will still e...

Baseball is back!!! The D1 NCAA baseball season starts today! Big tournaments all around with some big programs that you can watch on MLB.com and some single games on ESPN+, we give you some games to watch, some names to pay attention to at the end of the episode. Before that though we make a stop in Denver and talk a little bit about the MSU-Denver Roadrunners. Then our college baseball expert, N...

This is a jam-packed episode. We jump to Reddit to start the discussion and give our 4 round foundational pieces draft. We then move on to the Pundits and BV again, it just doesn't seem fair. However it got spicy again when we discuss Spring Training and the invites - all eyes on who?!?! Predictions seem to be silly but we take a stab at the Rockies starting 5 and the Isotopes rotation before endi...

The full squad was back for this one! We get together and talk about the Rockies season being a huge disappointment, finding dubs in the little things, and if Scott Oberg's burner is at it again. We give our superlative awards -- Offensive player of the year, Starting Pitcher of the year, MVP, most improved and our new favorite prospect. We end the Pod on a high night with Thank Yous for everyone...

We start off with some Banter questions at the MLB level: Nad ovation, Rockies are #1 in the Power Rankings according to The Athletic, wearing a Nado jersey to a game? We then talk through each of the call-ups that happened today. Jordy Vargas to Fresno, a few guys to Spokane, Veen and Etheridge move to Hartford and Isotopes received some power in Toglia and Pint. At the 38 minute mark , we end it...

Technically still a member of the Rockies roster, Scott Oberg was kind enough to sit down with us and talk ball on the latest Banter Session. One of the most humble and down to earth ballplayers, Oberg comes with a very nuanced and complex understanding of how baseball works If you want the inside scoop on how Oberg’s career went, starting as a Massachusetts high schooler, to his UConn baseball ca...

WE took it old school and Banters about the boys in purple. The extension of Bard is puzzling. Its great for him but what does it mean for the squad? Is anyone going to be traded? It makes you wonder if the Rox could have gotten what the Brewers got for Hader. We discuss it all from polar opposite ends of the spectrum. We also discuss prospects -- Veen and Tovar in Law's Top 60, Stovall has been h...

The Road to Blake St is back. We discuss Soto trades, Wynton doing work in ABQ, Lavigne/Toglia is a good combo. At our stop in Hartford we also play over/under Arm Barn ERAs.
