Mellinger Minutes For Your Ears: Greg Holland, Jackie Robinson, being kind and Matheny

Maybe this sounds weird, but we’re starting this week with a Greg Holland appreciation. We’ve seen this guy for nearly a decade now — same as always on the mound, but not much different off.

The questions are an eclectic mix of Jackie Robinson, creative ways to use the DH and a nice listener named Mark sending me down a rabbit hole I did not know existed.

The bonus segment is with Mike Matheny, with clips that show who he is (and how he’s different than the manager he replaced) and where the organization is. He also helps me articulate a pet peeve.

Please listen to new episodes every Friday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

We are constantly trying to think of new ways to deliver you information, entertainment or something else you won’t get anywhere else. Part of that is evaluating how you and I can connect. My hope is this can be one more way — a podcast you can listen to whenever and wherever you like.

Join us every Friday for behind-the-scenes access to interviews with Kansas City’s coaches, fans and reporters. We’ve talked with Patrick Mahomes, Mike Matheny, Brett Veach — and more. You can get all the episodes in one place right here.
