  • Are they serious?

    I’ve been listening for a while, but it seems like they are losing their fastball. The geek guy might actually be slow. I hope he gets the help he needs. I don’t think he is well.

  • A once great Twins pod

    Now a bi-weekly 20% ad reads + 30% patreon recap + 50% rehash of week old news. It doesn’t help G&G that Twins ownership is barely keeping the team on life support.

  • No one says “sabermetric” anymore

    Sounds in some ways like a podcast from 2005. Good info, nice rapport, but the game has changed a ton in the last 10-20 years. Need to keep up.
