Welcome To The Show Pod

🚨 Find Will and Sam LIVE on @OverdueSports tonight around 9 ET/8 CT breaking down some MLB Draft stuff, while looking ahead at the impending Trade Deadline! 🚨

Most ABS challenges won thus far: - Maikel Garcia (7 wins) - Jose Altuve (7) - Xander Bogaerts (6) - Davis Schneider (6) - Kevin McGonigle (6) - Ivan Herrera (6) - Jose Caballero (6) - Gary Sanchez (6)

Mets SP Clay Holmes has been great despite his club’s poor record. Over 42.2 IP, he’s posting a 1.69 ERA, 0.98 WHIP. Hitters have a .000 BA vs his CB, .167 BA vs SI, .194 BA vs CH.

Fairleigh Dickinson soph Hunter Ray is not fair in the NEC. 26 HR, 71 RBI, 22 SB, 1.326 OPS!

Let’s treat Yandy Diaz like a star. In ‘26: 31 G, 1.1 fWAR, 5 HR, 21 RBI, 158 wRC+, 11.9% K-rate.

Happy for Wenceel Perez. The Tigers switch hitter started 2026 just 2-for-35 (.057)…found a groove this week — going 5-for-14 (.357) with a HR, 4 RBI, 3 SB, 2B, 3 BB.

We are witnessing a slaughter in Pittsburgh. Through FOUR innings, the Pirates have 13 hits, 10 (!) walks, 15 runs, and every single player in their lineup has 1+ RBI. My goodness.

I mean…Sal Frelick MUST know I cannot chug until this weekend. That’s another home run for the Brewers outfielder…now up to 3 on the young season. Expect a long video Saturday!

ANOTHER SAL BOMB WE ARE SO BACK @discussbaseball 🍻🍻🍻

SAL BOMBS ARE BACK @discussbaseball DRINK UP🍻🍻

Alex Cora is a father and still owed $12M+ by the Red Sox…I don’t blame him one bit for declining the Phillies offer. I also don’t blame Dave Dombrowski one bit for trying to hire him.

All of the sudden, Xander Bogaerts is sporting an OPS of .804 (94 ABs). The veteran SS has smoked 4 HR while driving in 16 with 2 SB. 1-for-1, 2B this Sunday, the Friars are DEEP…

If you told me after their WBC performances that the Red Sox would fire Alex Cora + Peter Fatse 27 games into the 2026 MLB season, I would’ve called you absolutely daffy.

RT @discussbaseball: Things are getting REALLY bad, REALLY quickly for the Phillies, Mets, Red Sox, and Royals…4 clubs I penciled in to mak…

Riley Greene keeps on keeping on. The Tigers OF went 2-for-3 with a HR, 2 RBI, R, BB in DET’s win today…OPSing .840 across 90 ABs, hitting for a higher AVG than usual (.289).

89 AB, 5 HR, 11 RBI, .854 OPS, SB, 4 2B, 24 IP, 12 H, 1 ER, 25 K, 0.38 ERA, .141 BAA. Unreal.

Through the Phillies 8-game losing streak, their pitchers have posted a 9.41 K/9, 2nd in MLB since 4/12. A good example as to why K/9 can be misleading. And why Ks aren’t everything.

Toronto has fallen towards the bottom of the AL, and Ernie Clement is doing his best to keep them out of the basement…over his last week: 12-for-30 (.400) w/ 5 2B!

The Mets $51M closer Devin Williams tonight: 0.0 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 0 K, 3 BB. The Tigers backup catcher Jake Rogers tonight: 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 K, 0 BB. Baseball is funny.

Coy James is a name I’m circling. The Nationals 5th round selection from the 2025 MLB Draft is enjoying A ball…2 HR, 12 RBI, 10 SB (!), 134 wRC+. Only 19 years old.

$2M. That’s all the O’s are paying Leody Taveras…44 AB, 2 HR, 13 RBI, 186 OPS+, SB.
