EP 64 - Darien Durr US Navy Rescue Swimmer and Instructor
Instructor Durr is a legend in the SAR community. He has molded the new generation of SAR swimmers and has been a pioneer for diversity in the special operations community. Even after 19 years of service, Instructor Durr is just getting started. Never doubt Durr, listen to the episode to find out why.
Since enlisting in 2001, the Rescue Swimmer renaissance man has served under three presidents and grew up in the Global War On Terror (GWOT) while successfully building a family. He cuts his own hair, skates, welds, is a photographer, electrician, marksman, and also does construction. This was a fun and insightful conversation any water rescue professional will enjoy listening to.
Rescue swimmers are selfless individuals who are willing to risk their lives for total strangers, one would hope they are inclusive and welcoming of the best candidates regardless of skin color. Sadly, that is not the case. But with heroes like Instructor Durr, we all just may have a chance to get through all this division.
Oh... and Schep gushes.

Here is the updated bracket for the MLS IS BACK tournament
Cabrillo College baseball alumni Clayton Andrews has been added to the Milwaukee Brewers 60-man player pool, yesterday according to Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors.
Andrews has been nasty through two seasons of AA and lower baseball striking out 12.8 batters per nine innings, with a 1.016 WHIP. (Talk about what whip is)
The 5’6” lefty reliever also contributes as an outfielder. In his minor league career, he has played the field in 74 games with 69 plate appearances, during which he hit for a .333 average.
This could make players who can do both infinitely more value in the COVID era.
Normally baseball can source the active minor leagues for talent that is regularly seeing live-action. That won’t be the case this year, so these 60 player pools have to be stoked with players they can trust to stay involved and working.
I had a great interview with Clayton, I think I may finally release it here.
The Blue Jays have announce that they are moving one of baseball’s future stars to first base, per Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet (via Twitter).
Last year little Vlad committed 17 errors in 94 starts at third base.
This move isn’t a surprise, he wasnt going to win a gold glove at third and the wear and tear on first basemen is minimal.
Buster Posey has announced that he will opt out of the 2020 season, citing that he and his wife have recently adopted twin sisters born prematurely who are currently still in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
President of baseball ops Farnham Ziedi and manager Gabe Capler have voiced their full support of Posey’s decision.
The Giants will be fine. If this crazy thing goes off after all, this forces the orginizations hand to call up Joey Bart.
Bart, a former Harwich Mariner in the Cape Cod summer league, through two seasons in the minors has hit for a .284 average with a .875 OPS. He also has some pop with 29 home runs and 29 doubles in 517 at bats.
Thats 275 total bases on 147 hits.
