Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 600 ratings
  • Terrible content

    The content lacks quality and they prolong the podcast by repeating things over and over again. Absolutely horrible analysis and they act like they know their stuff but it’s the opposite. Don’t waste your time with this one and don’t subscribe to their site because more of the same is there. To the host and others who contribute to it: don’t waste people’s time with irrelevant content. Don’t do a podcast if you are not going to put effort into it.

    J.J. Cooper is horrendous and is very childish.... more

  • Prospects

    They do a great job of providing scouting reports to fans so they can better get to know prospects on their favorite teams and around the league. I really enjoy listening to them talk about every teams top prospects.

  • Potential Episode Idea

    I’m new here but I would love if you guys did an episode for the trade deadline. Specifically doing a deep dive on the prospects who could be moved at the deadline! Sounds like a fun exercise to me. Love the work that you all do in making me a smarter baseball fan!
