  • Great podcast - a couple criticism though

    Good stuff but Mal needs a better microphone and whoever’s phone keeps ringing needs to turn it off for the duration of the podcast

  • Great content but awful audio

    Content is great but the audio on Mal is dreadful with random delays mid sentence. Also on the latest episode someone had notifications on so there were loud ‘pings’ constantly. I had to turn it off. If they could fix the audio & know to turn off notifications when recording it would be a lot better.

  • Griff and Mal

    Delightfully in-depth analysis of baseball, people, and family.

    Authentic, with tremendous range, they go back and forth down memorable lanes.

    Listen. If you love this stuff, you’ve arrived at the destination.

  • Sanders being black.

    I find it outrageous and shocking that Mail would suggest that Sanders was not picked until 5th round because of colour.

    He should be fired immediately and cannot see this being positive for his new baseball team

    Last time I’ll listen. Too bad enjoyed Griff.
