Live with Bowa and Chuck on Baseball & Football
Episode 242
Wednesday, 14 October, 2026
Chuck welcomes Larry Bowa back — "I'm going to beat him up today," as a frustrated fan — and gets the inside story on why the Phillies' end-of-season presser took longer than ever ("I have never seen it go this long... it's sort of depressing") and why Bowa has zero input on front-office decisions ("I'm not a part of that decision at all"). Chuck role-plays the conversation he'd have with Trea Turner — a position change to center field, argued through wins and WAR — Bowa explains what it would take for Turner to buy in, and the two dig into October fundamentals: Milwaukee's two-strike approach and sacrifice-fly perfection, the Bryan Baker–to–Tampa Bay transformation, mental-mistake confrontations (the Mickey Morandini top-step story, the Pete Rose "get the effort" lesson), and why "players have to start policing themselves." Then football: Bowa's fix for the Eagles' final-play heartbreak ("I'd have kicked the ball out of the end zone — put it on the 35"), the best-of-three pressure and Turner's head, and the close: they set "the Bowa–Chuck line" on tonight's game — Snell over/under 4⅓ innings, both leaning under. - http://speakingofsportspod.com/ - https://twitter.com/Speak_of_Sports - https://www.facebook.com/SpeakingofSportsPod - https://www.instagram.com/speaking_of_sports/ - https://www.tiktok.com/@speakingofsports - https://www.youtube.com/@speakingofsports
