Welcome back to another episode of 6ix Inning Stretch! We are thrilled to welcome Cincinnati Reds right-hander Brady Singer to the show. As Whit’s former teammate with the Kansas City Royals, Brady is the ultimate target for some good-natured ribbing. The duo dives deep into their hilarious history, including the real story behind Whit’s endless folder of embarrassing rain-delay photos, Brady’s chaotic engagement story involving a granite pool slip-and-fall, and his viral tight-pants appearance at a Florida Gators football game. Plus, Brady breaks down his adjustments on the mound this year, adding a cutter to his signature sinker-slider mix, and what it’s really like playing under a Hall of Famer like Terry Francona.

Welcome back to another episode of Six Inning Stretch! This week, Lindsay is pulling out the receipts. We dive straight into some hilarious cross-team drama after Lindsay takes Whit's podcast comments directly to the ballpark. Watch as Tim Mayza gets exposed by his own bullpen buddies for just wanting to "cause a fuss," and check out the legendary video message Whit sent to Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber that resulted in some epic golf course trash talk and a wild $2,000 Michael Jordan-style betting story. Plus, Garrett Stubbs stops by to drop some hilarious truths about what it’s really like being "friends" with Whit. On the baseball side of things, the crew breaks down the latest MLB headlines and rules confusion. Whit shares his expert, player-first perspective on Jose Caballero’s controversial pitch clock manipulation against Spencer Miles, explaining why it's completely within the rules. We also react to the first wave of All-Star voting results, including Vladimir Guerrero Jr. out-voting Ben Rice despite a cold bat. From Daulton Varsho’s frustrating wrist injury to the mechanics of Tyler Heineman’s DFA, and even a debate about MLB's future stadium in Las Vegas, this episode covers it all. Don't forget to subscribe for more exclusive player insights and hilarious clubhouse stories!

In this episode of 6ix Inning Stretch, Lindsay and Whit break down the imminent return of Alejandro Kirk, Max Scherzer, and Dylan Cease to the Toronto lineup, while Whit goes to bat for Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s slow start and makes a fierce case for why Ernie Clement deserves to run away with the AL All-Star voting at second base. Plus, Whit exposes a hilarious group chat text from Romano and Swanson where they roast former teammate Tim Mayza’s love for a stadium hype video, and he gives his brutally honest thoughts on Kevin Gausman’s sub-par beer-shotgunning skills.

The episode also features an exclusive interview with Blue Jays reliever Mason Fluharty, who currently leads the majors in appearances. Fluharty pulls back the curtain on the daily life of a high-leverage bullpen arm, discussing everything from his hot-and-cold tub recovery routines to the danger of trying to wrestle teammate Louis Varland in the clubhouse. He recounts the sheer adrenaline of his rookie postseason run, including striking out Shohei Ohtani for his first career save in Los Angeles, and explains why a spring training hangout with Canadian rock legends Three Days Grace inspired him to adopt a bit of "divorced dad rock" for his new walk-out song this season.
