Episode 296 - The Iron Man of the Mound: Mike Marshall’s 1974 Season
In this episode of Two Strike Noise, Jeff and Mark open in the Jesus Montero Studio, where an ice cream sandwich has never been more dangerous. From there, the guys dig into a card-collecting dad-and-son duo who cornered the market on Greg Briley, a record-shattering Hall of Fame induction program, and John Kruk’s musings on clocks, vegans, and sandwiches.They check in on the Little League World Series, where one Canadian kid has already labeled Juan Soto “overrated,” and highlight professional sluggers who quietly joined the 500-home run club outside MLB. Plus, anniversaries and debuts galore: Nolan Ryan’s 5,000th strikeout, Carmelo Martinez’s fly-ball “weakness,” Big Mac’s towel-wrapped sitcom cameo, and Dustin Pedroia’s Hall of Very Good candidacy.The main feature this week is Mark’s deep dive into Mike Marshall — not the Dodgers first baseman, but the 1974 Cy Young–winning reliever whose 106 appearances, 208 innings, and obsession with kinesiology made him one of baseball’s most fascinating arms.And as always, we wrap with another round of Wax Pack Heroes — where mullets, mustaches, and manager cards all come into play.
