  • Not great for listeners

    I like Whit’s perspective on things and Lindsay is a decent host, but I feel like a LOT of times they forget that there are people LISTENING to this podcast - not watching it. There’s a fair amount of times each episode where I feel like I don’t get what they’re talking about because it’s much more geared towards people who WATCH it than those who just listen.

  • Game 6

    Allan MicolinoGreat meeting you after game 6. As I said to you the pod cast has really improved over the last 6 weeks. The chemistry between you two is excellent. Love the banter and

    Whitt’s perspective being and ex-MLB player is great. Keep up the great work.

    Love hearing from the players on a personal level and getting the inside scoop! I don’t love Lindsay on this pod unfortunately. All I can hear is her flirting and voicing silly comments to try to relate to the pro players. Otherwise, really enjoying this podcast!
