  • Best batted ball sound around, but….

    Hey Buster, are you a sports journalist? You are reporting on the NLCS yet you never say any names of the Brewers players. You also kept in getting it wrong on what team made the 8-6-2 double play, it was the Brewers that made that play. You do always talk about how little you sleep: maybe you are overworked? Too tired to remember? Don’t have time to do the proper research for your job? Maybe lay off a little, get some rest, and look in to it a little. It might help you be a better and more obje... more

  • Great if you’re a New York/Boston fan

    They have some knowledge and can be entertaining……if your team is playing the Yanks/Mets/RedSox or Dodgers, otherwise super hard pass. On any hour long podcast involving any of those teams, podcast is 90% devoted to that. And they squeeze the other games into the remaining crumbs of time. Bunch of way better podcasts out there that cover MLB fairly

  • Super late swing foul ball

    I have loved and obsessed over baseball for my entire life. Theoretically this podcast should be right in my sweet spot considering the topics of discussion, the mix of interesting takes and nerdy/analytical content, and names that I grew up reading and/or watching.

    But it just has this uncomfortable feeling of being too far behind the curve. Compared to lots of other pods, this just seems to really fall short of expectations. It’s just very boring compared to other baseball pods like the on... more
