4.5 out of 5 stars from 339 ratings
  • Informative and entertaining

    The content is great and the host are informative and well spoken. Love all of that.

    The production is not good! One host sounds fine, one is a little soft but one sounds like he’s talking into a mic from across the room. Then the commercials are at volume 100 on the 20-80 scale.

  • Great Information, Poor Production

    I listen to this show every week. I’m a long time subscriber, but the production is getting out of control. I do have hearing problems, but the guest and host talking is mixed so low that I can barely hear them. In my AirPods, I have to turn the volume all the way up whenever the hosts are talking. I am typing this on 6/18, I can barely hear Jonathan or Jim, but the noise in the background is audible. Every hit, PA announcer, someone opening a fridge, someone dropping a pen; I can hear it all. C... more

  • Good, but…

    Good content and knowledgeable hosts, but please, please fix the audio mixing… you have to turn the volume up to hear the hosts mumble over each other and then you get your eardrums blasted by an ad… seems like an easy fix but problem persists on.

  • Liven it up!

    Sleepiest host ever. He sounds like he should be on a sleep podcast. Callie and Mayo have good insights, but the pace is lethargic. Makes the listen a slog often. Pick the energy up, guys.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From prospect to postseason
Q: What were the main strategies being discussed for building a Major League roster?
The discussion highlighted the diverse approaches teams use, such as acquiring homegrown talent, making trades, and utilizing free agency to finalize rosters.
Wrapping Up The Minor League Season
Q: Will we see Konnor Griffin, Kevin McGonigle, Leo DeVries, Sebastian Walcott, Jesus Made debut next year?
All indications point to Konnor Griffin and Kevin McGonigle possibly debuting next year, while DeVries is anticipated to have a shot later in the year. Walcott and Made might need more time in the minors.
Prospects In Playoffs
Q: Why have the Dodgers let outfielder Ryan Ward spend two years pulverizing AAA pitching without giving him a chance at the big league level?
This is a tough question as Ryan Ward has excelled in AAA for over two years, but he may be viewed as a left-handed platoon player and lacks defensive versatility, which complicates his potential contributions to the big league team.
Prospect double-dip (Guests: Aidan Miller and Konnor Griffin)
Q: How did your batting technique change while you progressed through the minors?
I simplified my swing by eliminating unnecessary movements to improve timing and consistency.
