It takes a Villers: Ian Villers

CLINCH: SIGHTS ON SEPTEMBER

Jonah Cox skipped Triple-A and went straight from the Richmond Flying Squirrels to the San Francisco Giants, so obviously we had to talk about it. This week on The Tostado Section, we cover Jonah getting the call to the big leagues, the Squirrels clinching a playoff spot for the first time in three years, Dennis Pelfrey’s 300th franchise win, walk-off wins, Bo Davidson going nuclear, Charlie Saccone staying hot, and the emotional rollercoaster of being way too invested in Double-A baseball. We also get into Patrick Bailey bobblehead-related property damage, wrong turns to the studio, Andy’s Game of the Week, Dinger Daddy debates, specialty hot dogs at CarMax Park, and whether a bacon-wrapped footlong with chili, cheese, and crushed Flamin’ Hot Cheetos is secretly a Tostado Section tribute. Baseball is good. The Squirrels are playoff bound. The hot dogs have gone too far. Welcome back to The Tostado Section. #RichmondFlyingSquirrels #SanFranciscoGiants #JonahCox #FlyingSquirrels #SFGiants #MiLB #DoubleABaseball #MinorLeagueBaseball #BaseballPodcast #TheTostadoSection #CarMaxPark #Baseball

Bednar? I hardly knew 'er! | Interview with Will Bednar

The College World Series champ, CWS Most Outstanding Player, Giants first-rounder... and, most prestigiously, a former Shove Bruv of the Week... sits down for a long-overdue episode. Will gets into life at CarMax Park (and his one real gripe: the bullpen-to-bathroom hike), the draft day where his agent turned down the first offer and the family AC couldn't keep up, and growing up in a baseball household with his dad on the mound at the high school and big brother Dave blazing his own trail to the bigs. We get into the first-ever Bednar vs. Bednar matchup against Team USA, what it's actually like staring down big-league bats like Cal Raleigh, the one guy who left him starstruck (hint: he's enormous), and Will's deep, expensive descent into the baseball card hobby; rainbows, eBay refreshes three times a day, and one mystery collector hoarding the cards he needs. Plus, we rip a live blaster on the show and someone walks away with a numbered pull. Have fun and go nuts. #FlyingSquirrels #SFGiants #MiLB #BaseballPodcast #WillBednar #TheHobby #BaseballCards #ToppsChrome

3rd Celsius, 4 AM, Best Western | Trey Wilson: Voice of the Flying Squirrels

The wait is over. Trey Wilson, the voice of the Richmond Flying Squirrels on 910 The Fan, owner of one of the most aggressively orange baseball card collections in existence, and the freshly minted 2025 Tosty winner for Breakthrough Friendship of the Year, finally pulls up a chair. Trey takes us through the unlikely path that got him here: a flyer on a college bulletin board, a volleyball broadcast he was extremely bad at, a brief detour out of school he won't fully explain, and a slow climb through the Blue Jays minor league system from Bluefield to Lansing to Altoona before landing in Richmond. Along the way: idolizing Will Clark, sitting across from John Smoltz, why his "stats and research department" is actually just him on his third Celsius at 4 a.m. in a Best Western, and the running tally on his Martinsville hot dog record (currently 15, and yes he's trying to beat it). Catch Squirrels broadcasts on the Odyssey app (Sports Radio 910 The Fan) or on MLB.TV with the Giants set as a favorite. Tickets at squirrelsbaseball.com/tickets.

New Stadium, Who Dis?

The Flying Squirrels can't lose, CarMax Park is open, and Pelf is back. Evan and Andy crack open Season 3 with a walking tour of the Squirrels' brand-new home (the drink rail absolutely rips), break down a historic opening week — 10-game win streak, Greg Farone tying the opening day K record, Jonah Cox's home-run-robbing catch, and Bo Davidson hitting the first TWO bombs in CarMax Park history — then welcome back manager Dennis Pelfrey for his second-year season opener chat. Pelf talks clubhouse chemistry, what last year's late surge means for this roster, and delivers a surprisingly passionate Predator: Badlands review. Plus: the "Dinger Daddy" and "Another Shove, Bruv" awards, the invention of the Sunny Andys, and the official Tostado Section glizzy gets named.🥜 Nutsack Questions: arm-wrestling a Squirrel, the best baseball name on the roster, and the signature Squirrels hot dog 🎟️ Free Tostado Section stickers — tap us on the shoulder at a game Follow us on Instagram • Subscribe #RichmondFlyingSquirrels #CarMaxPark #MiLB #MinorLeagueBaseball #SFGiants #EasternLeague #RVA #Richmond #Baseball #FlyingSquirrels #DennisPelfrey
