Videos: Three Inning Minute

In this episode of Three Inning Fan – The Podcast with Kelley Franco, we meet Twitter/X baseball personality NotGaetti, live and out from behind his avatar. You know him from his posts that highlight his MLB acumen, underrated ballplayers over the years, and Hall of Fame insight. And we see that side of him today. But Kelley gets him to open up about his secret identity, some surprises about his personal side, how he fell for Mrs. NotGaetti, and just how many Michelob Ultras it takes for him to get a buzz. And of course, we close with…what NotGaetti likes to eat while watching the ballgame. *Music by Podington Bear

In this episode of Three Inning Fan – The Podcast with Kelley Franco, we are all about the state of the New York baseball offseason. First we get Kelley’s lowdown on the Mets – has the market for Pete Alonso gone soft? Is bullpen help on the way? Will the Mets need a new starter too? We then discuss the Yankees’ infield plans and what their options are, be they signings, trades or in-house. We also tour around the League and look at the DBacks’ Corbin Burnes signing – how does it affect the Yankees and the Mets? We discuss what a battle it will be to win the National League pennant with the teams being so competitive. And we take a look at some of the most miserly teams in the offseason so far, including the Orioles, who have disappointed their fans with the lack of a big move. And of course…we talk about what’s good to eat while you’re watching the ballgame – or watching the New Year’s Eve ball drop, as it were. Recipes given! *Music by Podington Bear

This holiday season, I am grateful for every one of you.

In this episode of Three Inning Fan – The Podcast with Kelley Franco, we are all about the breaking offseason news. First we get Kelley’s lowdown on the Winter Meetings in Dallas last week, which she attended. Then we talk about how the Mets snagged Soto, and whether the record-setting contract redeems Scott Boras from his lackluster offseason last winter. We’ll discuss whether the Mets are done. Hint – they’re not. We’ll get into what pitcher they need to add, and whether Pete Alonso is still on their radar. Then we hop to the Yankees’ aggressive pivot after they lost Soto, yesterday’s deal for Cody Bellinger, how the Fried signing affects their infield plans, and what moves they may still make. And we take a look at MLB’s report on arm injuries in baseball, and how it could shape pitchers for generations to come. And of course…we talk about what’s good to eat while you’re watching the ballgame – or attending the Winter Meetings in Dallas, and it turns out that have some Hall of Fame food there. *Music by Podington Bear

In this episode of Three Inning Fan – The Podcast with Kelley Franco, we are on with all of the developments of the offseason to date. Commissioner Manfred talked about a rule proposal called The Golden At-Bat that makes Kelley delirious with anger. But Manfred is also putting together a national streaming package that could be useful for fans tired of cable bills and blackouts – for sometime around 2028. Kelley does a quick update on the New York Hot Stove for the Mets and the Yankees. And Kelley is traveling to the Winter Meetings in Dallas and will keep you apprised every step of the way. And of course…we talk about what’s good to eat while you’re watching the ballgame – or reading Kelley’s tweets from the Winter Meetings. *Music by Podington Bear

In this episode of Three Inning Fan – The Podcast with Kelley Franco, we discuss how the Hot Stove has really been a lukewarm burner waiting for Juan Soto to sign. Always with our focus on the New York teams, we examine all of the free agents who are in the on-deck circle and will emerge once the Soto suitors know where they are putting their money. We take a closer look at the pitching free agents and potential trade targets that loom, and how they might fit into the Mets or the Yankees. I also explain the Rule 5 draft, and how it’s not really a draft – more of a sneaky way to steal young players. And of course, we close with what’s good to eat while watching a ballgame. This week we talk about nothing less than a gorgeous ribeye steak, and how best to prepare it – with pictures! *Music by Podington Bear

It’s hard for us to imagine that there was a time and professional ballplayers left the field to fight for our freedom on this Veterans Day, let’s remember Yogi Berra, Ted Williams, Warren Spahn, Larry Doby, and many more. We salute them, and all of our veterans, today on Veterans Day. All here in a minute.

In this episode of Three Inning Fan – the Podcast with Kelley Franco, we dive right into the #yankees' and #mets' Hot Stove Season, talking about the Juan Soto Sweepstakes, Pete Alonso and what the Mets could do if they don’t re-sign him, the state of the Mets’ starting rotation, Gerrit Cole and the first Scott Boras miss of the offseason, how the Yankees need to build a stronger secondary, and how both teams need to build up their bullpens for next season. This show is a road map for all of the free agent signings, trades, and chess moves of the winter. And of course…what’s good to eat while watching the ballgame. *Music by Podington Bear

Yankees - Dodgers is MLB‘s dream World Series matchup. Why? Growth of the MLB brand in Asia. Megastars and megabucks. Validation of the expanded playoff format. Hype for the off-season. All here in two minutes. 

The #Yankees - #Royals rivalry of the late 70s and early 80s was short but positively venomous. The brawls were legendary and no one backed down, especially Nettles and Brett. Footage of Chambliss’ homer makes kids today do a face palm. Relive it here in a minute. #MLBPostseason #MLB

In this episode of Three Inning Fan – The Podcast with Kelley Franco, we do a full League Championship Series preview. With the #mets versus the #dodgers, we look at whether the Mets’ magic can continue. Can the #postseason legacies of Alonso and Lindor help them advance, and can aces Manaea and Severino get them back on track after a Game 1 loss? We explore the Dodgers’ starting pitching woes but the recent resurgence of their bullpen. The wild card could very well be whether the unpredictable Mets’ bullpen can be at its best. With the #yankees and the #Guardians, Judge needs to be Judge to move this team past the LCS, Stanton needs to stay hot and Soto needs to go from warm to hot. The Guardians bullpen is the “Clase” of the league, but will it be enough to stave off the Yankees? All this plus the secret to good chili, which should be on your stove for October baseball. *Music by Podington Bear

You don’t want to miss this quick and efficient guide to the first round of the #mlbpostseason! *Music by Podington Bear

For the #mets, we talk about their aggressive play putting them into the heart of the Wild Card race, tied with the #dbacks and ahead of the #braves; Lindor’s absence means someone needs to step up, and the very real possibility of a Kodai Senga return this season. Also why the #phillies will keep playing hard even after they clinch, which teams get to face the #whitesox down the stretch, can the #padres catch the #dodgers, and the AL Wild Card is a baseball team stew.
