The takes are fine, mostly things I have already heard or read from other STL or national media, but that’s ok. The show is just very, very bro-y. Way too many references to “having balls” for my taste, and way to much talk about betting lines. Audio quality has improved since they started but I still wouldn’t call it “good.” I listen when I have time, but Ball Watching is maybe the third or fourth best STL City podcast.
The guys are Ok, they are clearly being paid to be non critical and to be super optimistic and encourage everyone to buy season tickets, they used to be a little more objective but this last episode was laughable, they are clearly a front office plant as they talked for 10 minutes about how they loved the new Tina Turner kit. It’s a joke at this point
I listened to Ball Watching regularly throughout 2024, but in 2025, there seems to be some kind of an issue with their feed on Apple Podcasts. I don’t have this issue with any of my other podcasts, but when I attempt to play the latest episode, it always comes back telling me “This episode can’t play on this device”. If they’ve launched a subscription to view the latest episode on Apple Podcasts, that hasn’t been clear to me, but otherwise it doesn’t seem to be an issue on my end.
The most recent podcast had them live pitching product for close to 10 minutes in a 50 min episode. They are much more excited and animated when selling than discussing the team. Takes are basic and reaction based. An average sport gambling bros podcast. A poor STL City podcast.
Good content but Jake, please upgrade your mic/interface, the popping is quickly becoming unbearable
