  • Love dodger talk

    I’ve been listening to dodger talk for about 8 years. Big fan of the show and love the catch up I get on the games when I’m not able to watch.

    I gave the show 5 stars but I have one qualm. That Shakey’s pizza commercial has GOTTA GO. It instantly pisses me off. It’s beyond obnoxious and I will never eat at Shakeys because I hate that commercial so much.

    Let’s threepeat

  • Lighten up Dave

    Really good info and insight you have ....but on more than one occasion every night you are condescending and rude. Yes this is a sports pod cast with input from want to be GM's and dudes who think they could've made it. That's the audience, deal with it, you want high value production and takes...go host somewhere else.
