Empire Sports Talk Podcast

Gonna tell my kids this was Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette. #HomeRunDerby

Never quite seen anything like what I just saw in Anaheim...👀 Wow. Baseball's crazy, man.

Time to CLEAN HOUSE in the @Angels front office...

The @Angels have committed generational malpractice for 15 years... In that time, they've wasted the career of Trout, had Ohtani, had Pujols - no playoff appearances (one for Trout total). In 2026: Trout looks great, offense good enough...2nd-worst bullpen ERA in baseball...

The @Reds might be the most dangerous team in baseball right now. 10-0 in games decided by two runs or less, and just scored 6 runs in the 9th and 10th to stun the @Twins. This team just flat out plays ball and KNOWS HOW TO WIN...

I know it's just me, but it drives me crazy when a pitcher wears a single-digit number. It doesn't look right... #MLB

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗗𝗛 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 Is it any surprise who would top this list? No reason not to expect another big year from last year's top two NL MVP candidates. #MLB #ShoheiOhtani #KyleSchwarber #EmpireSportsTalk

💯

@Joba_44 Overall, a plus. Many are stuck on how bad it makes the umpires look, but I look at it from the standpoint of how it shows just how good the players are. They KNOW the zone, and it shows.

Ok, almost a week in of baseball. What are your honest opinions of the ABS system? #baseball

If I'm nitpicking, I'm conflicted about certain details of these...but overall, I like them!

@Fruit_Tuesday @BaseballBros 😅😅😅

@EmpireSportsPod @BaseballBros He kept it under 100, he did the right thing 😂

Was it justified that Chas McCormick took 99 MPH to the back after this?

No Empire on Deck tonight. See y'all back to recap Wednesday's action! #MLB

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗥𝗙 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 The right field position is loaded with star power. Additionally, I expect Caglianone to rebound nicely after a rough cup of coffee with KC in 2025. #MLB #AaronJudge #RonaldAcunaJr #EmpireSportsTalk

🚨 IMMACULATE INNING ALERT 🚨 Michael Soroka has thrown an immaculate inning for the Diamondbacks! (via @MLB)

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗖𝗙 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 My list of top center fielders is a good mix of power, average and defense. I'm predicting a big year from Michael Harris II, picking up where he left off in the second half of last season. #MLB #JulioRodriguez #MichaelHarrisII #EmpireSportsTalk

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗟𝗙 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 A good mix of established All-Stars and young prospects. Does your team's 7 crack the list? #MLB #JuanSoto #EmpireSportsTalk

@BenVerlander Kevin McGonigle is incredible. I may watch 162 for the @tigers just for him! 🤣

Can’t go 162-0 without going 2-0 Detroit Tigers. 2-0. I love this team.

Now that Bo Bichette is no longer in Toronto, I'm reminded that I need to say RIP to this gem of a tweet from the 2023 Home Run Derby. @MLB @Nickelodeon 🤣🤣🤣

Matt Chapman singles in the 3rd and drives in Jung Hoo Lee, officially ending the team's scoreless innings drought at 20. Hallelujah 👀 #MLB

20 consecutive scoreless innings (and counting) for the San Francisco Giants offense. Woof... #MLB
