  • Guys this smart aren’t usually this funny…

    …and guys this funny aren’t usually this smart. When I can swing it in the budget, I jump back into the Patreon / Discord.

    The Patron-only (and ad-free!) postgame shows, Banter episodes, and deep weekly dives into the team are stellar content, but even the weekly free episodes are great.

    These guys obviously love baseball, respect each other, and play off each other really well. As a San Diego native and Padres fan since the 90s, I’ve really enjoyed this podcast since 2018 (when it was MTPGA).... more

  • Jump in the tub!

    Must listen for Padres fans. Intelligent but accessible baseball talk. Love the balance of analytics and the intangible “eye test” type takes. Definitely recommend joining the discord for more live shows with a great community of fellow Padres fans
