We are joined by Steve Kemp this week. Steve was on his way to a very good career in the Major Leagues until an unfortunate eye injury curtailed it. He had a great college career at USC before being drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 1st round of the 1976 January Draft. Steve was up in the Majors for good with the Tigers in 1977 and it didn't take long for him to start hitting. His best year in the big leagues was 1979 when he made the All-Star team. Join us as we go Back When There Was Baseball with Steve Kemp.

He is back with the IronBirds this year to begin his first full professional season.In this wide-ranging interview, we discussed his time at UNC, his inside-the-park homer in the Spring Breakout game, the pressures of being a top draft pick and a lot more.Thanks to IronBirds broadcaster Michael Marcantonini for the play-by-play cuts used in this podcast.

The Phillies fell to the NY Mets this evening, with a final score of 5-1. Christopher Sanchez departed early after throwing 58 pitches over 2 innings due to forearm soreness. As the Phillies prepare to rebound in their next game against the Mets, concerns remain.

With Evan still out on the PL (paternity leave), Mark brings in Detroit Free Press high school sports reporter Jared Ramsey, who’s been covering the Tigers for the past week. The guys talk the team’s series loss to the Milwaukee Brewers and series win over the Kansas City Royals. Jared and Mark cover the strong starts from Casey Mike, Jackson Jobe and how Spencer Torkelson is continuing to hit this season. While the vibes overall for the team remain good, not all is well for the Tigers as Riley Greene’s slump continues to linger. The guys take a deep dive into what’s looking different so far for the star outfielder. Later in the show, Mark and Jared preview the upcoming matchups against the San Diego Padres and Baltimore Orioles. The guys also offer updates on player injuries at both the major and minor leagues, plus Mark proposes a dark horse free agent candidate the team could pursue for bullpen help that fans should recognize.

The Dodgers took 2 of 3 from Texas in a series that featured very little fire power from the offense, but a Dodgers pitching staff that continues to show why it is one of the best in baseball. Yoshinobu Yamamoto took the NL Cy Young race by the horns, the bullpen held it down, and the bats scored just enough to scrape a couple wins out in Arlington.

Dirty Leather Crew breaks down #Phillies pitching staff. Plus hot takes on the #pitchclock and #MILB Minor League Stadiums making waves in #TheShow. Join us this week and every week at 6pm as a segue to #SundayNightBaseball

It’s the second week of the season and the Mets road-trip in Pennsylvania with stops in Pittsburgh, where fan turnout is real low and Philadelphia, where they face off with an old friend in Jerry Koosman.  But the real drama of the week is between Davey Johnson and Doug Sisk over the latter’s mutiny!  Check it out!
