  • Fantastic pod

    Buster does an amazing job of keeping all of us baseball fans informed of everything going on in the big leagues. I love it when he has Hembo on and they nerd out over baseball.

  • Too many interviews and guests

    New season for 2026 is not holding my interest. Way too many interviews. It’s lazy podcasting. Just because someone has worked in the game, it doesn’t make them insightful or interesting. No more game recaps or scores, very little stats and analysis. At least I haven’t had to listen to the graphic artist/uniform/history guy and his quizzes.

Finally multiple times there
