  • Love the podcast. They know ball, Dallas has a former players pov and seems like a chill dufe Justin's nugs are great. . Jared as the ringmaster works well. Sometimes the frat boy humor sneaks in but it's not nearly as bad as it was. Getting away from the barstool brand years ago improved the overall quality of the show. I skip most of the interviews cause they're usually not great(except Bob Kendrick) Overall it's a fun, easy listen overall.

  • Mostly honest ball pod

    Jared and J-Hay are the reasons I listen. DB is a blow-hard and I FF his diatribes. This new dude “T” sounds exactly like Jared, but with half the wit. It’s aight.

  • Liberal Ranting Podcast

    I came to listen for baseball talk. I don’t need your liberal rant about Pride Night and your view on how Giants pitchers were in the wrong about writing Bible verses on their hats! Just maybe the team shouldn’t be requiring players to wear God’s created rainbow that has been distorted by an organization to push their agenda. Christian players have the right to not have to support something that is against their Christianity.

    It is amazing how Carrabis can make everything about him.

    Just unfollowed. The politics is unnecessary. Even on social media

  • No pride

    I couldn’t disagree more with them about the players writing bible verses on their hats. How is believing what you believe in an attack the other community ? That community has equal rights and freedoms. What does anyone’s sexual preference have to do with baseball. It’s indoctrination of children I’ve heard this opinion from people in that very community. The Texas Rangers have never had a pride night may god bless them. I wouldn’t listen if I was paid to do so.
