The C's Baseball Podcast

Episode 22: Canadians outfielder Eddie Micheletti

In this episode, we sit down with Vancouver Canadians outfielder Eddie Micheletti, a 2024 Blue Jays draft pick making waves in the 2025 season. Eddie opens up about finding his rhythm after a rocky start, the mental grind of pro ball, and what it means to have fans chanting your name in the bottom of the ninth. From eight-game losing streaks to 11-game winning stretches, Eddie talks highs, lows, and everything in between. He shares how advanced scouting has sharpened his plate approach, what separates college from pro ball, and the science behind his strike-zone discipline, rated by Baseball America as the best in the Blue Jays' minor-league system. But it's not all walk-offs and stat lines—Eddie gets real about long bus rides, hotel living, mental resets after tough games, and the power of good teammates (and video games) to keep you grounded. And yes—we relive the grand slam that dented the "Return It" sign.

Episode 21: Canadians Public Address Announcer Niall O'Donohoe

In this episode, Vancouver Canadians public address announcer Niall O'Donohoe chats with K.P. Wee about what makes Rogers Field at Nat Bailey Stadium so special for fans who make it out to the ballpark. Niall also discusses some highlights for the C's in the first half of the 2025 season, which saw Vancouver just barely miss out on the pennant. At the time of the conversation (June 29, 2025), the C's were set to take on the Tri-City Dust Devils (High-A affiliate of the L.A. Angels) in the finale of their six-game series, with three more games to go in the homestand.

Episode 20: Canadians catcher Nic Deschamps

What do multilingualism, mental resilience, and an eight-game losing streak have in common? They're all part of the journey of Nic Deschamps, catcher for the Vancouver Canadians. In this episode, Nic chats with host K.P. Wee and shares how growing up in Quebec City shaped his baseball path—from juggling hockey and baseball as a kid to stepping into the catcher's gear for good at 14. He dives into what sparked the team's dramatic mid-season turnaround, how trust defines the bond with pitchers, and why communication transcends language barriers when you speak English, French, and Spanish. Nic also opens up about: * The challenge of training through snowy Quebec winters—and how a local dome changed everything * Battling through early-season setbacks to improve his offensive game * Staying mentally sharp on grueling road trips and letting go of tough days * Why superstition isn't his thing, even if jersey streaks might suggest otherwise * Which NHL jersey he owns (no, it's not the Habs') * And yes... why poutine is elite ballpark food (especially when you're homesick)
