- Turn up the volume!
I really like this podcast! I just wish I could actually hear it. The level at which this show is recorded (Mastered? Edited? I’m obviously not an expert) is so low, that even when I crank my car’s speaker up to the max volume of 45, I have to strain to hear it. All of my other podcasts are easily audible with the volume around 25. And listening to this through my earbuds while working in my loud print department is an absolute impossibility (again, not an issue with any of my other podcasts). I... more

It’s Anthony Rizzo Day and the podcast about it is Cubs Postgame Live? How about Alex Cohen, Andy Martinez or even Tom Prizeman? I watch all the games and never watch pre- or postgame because I quickly tire of Cole’s schtick of catch phrases and nicknames. You can do better -please do. Don’t use Lance being off to be lame. If you want to do a daily podcast, commit to it.
Apple Podcasts3Neiser1United States10 months ago - More game talk please
I appreciate the analysis Lance does but I miss the chat about the players and actual games. A daily show should be able to spend at least a few minutes on that. Two of the Mets games weren’t on Marquee, Horton debuts and you use prerecorded content? Lazy and lame.

Great podcast! Quick and to the point. I've always liked his pitching breakdowns and I'm glad he has added the podcast!
