Baseball and BBQ

Episode 275 features the Kansas City Royals pitching coach, Brian Sweeney and the host of the Pit Life BBQ podcast, Johnny Mags. Plus, we discuss the possibility of a Los Angeles Dodgers dynasty.

Brian Sweeney is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who has transitioned quite nicely into the role of pitching coach for the Kansas City Royals. He played in the Major Leagues for the Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres and then played in Japan for the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters. After his playing career ended, Brian coached in the minor leagues for the Philadelphia Phillies and later became a coach with the Cleveland Indians. Brian has also been the pitching coach for Team Italy at the World Baseball Classic. We had the honor of meeting Brian when he was being inducted into the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame.

John "Johnny Mags" Maguire is the creative force and host of the Pit Life BBQ podcast. The show has creatively evolved over the years. Changes have included different co-hosts and in its current version, not having a permanent co-host. Another change has seen the show move from a studio above a cigar store to the Uncle Steve's Shake Studio where Johnny usually does it live each Monday night at 8:00 pm EST on Facebook and YouTube. If you miss the live version, you can catch the show recorded and released as a podcast. Johnny first joined us on episode 59 and we are excited to welcome him back as we discuss all things podcasting and barbecue, plus we throw in some baseball talk.
