  • Terrible audio

    Bumper music and ads play at max volume, when the show starts the audio is so quiet it can’t be heard. This is an MLB production?? I’ve heard better shows coming from some kid’s basement.

  • A good time

    I’ve been digging the show after finding it during last season. I’ve been looking for a baseball podcast to fill a void created a long time ago when Up and In shut down. I love prospect talk and baseball conversations that cover all of baseball. The crew here has been insightful and entertaining and I definitely recommend them. My one complaint is please get your audio levels synced up better. I have to turn the volume to max to hear the host a lot of the time but then their music or their adds... more

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dishing On The Draft Top 150 (Guest: Gio Rojas)
Q: Take me through your stuff, grade it out for me. What are your strengths and what do you need to work on next level?
My pitch command is strong, I have speed and athleticism, and I try to be baseball smart by understanding hitters and situations, which helps me mix pitches and stay within myself. I can dial it down when needed to stay in the zone under pressure, and I want to show I belong at the next level.
Draft fever.... catch it! (Guest: Grady Emerson)
Q: What are your thoughts on your defensive profile and where you might fit in the draft, given your high school tools?
Grady discusses his defensive upside at shortstop, potential as a 70-grade defender in the future, and how the bat needs to continue to develop; he acknowledges being a 19-year-old prospect with room to grow and possibly slot into a sandwich or late-first round depending on development.
Draft fever.... catch it! (Guest: Grady Emerson)
Q: What has transferring to Fort Worth Christian been like, and how has Rusty Greer helped you this year?
He credits Rusty Greer with providing mentorship, guidance with scouts, and practical insights on approach and mentality. He emphasizes staying grounded, leveraging relationships, and learning from pro experiences through conversations with Rusty and Bobby Witt Jr.
Draft fever.... catch it! (Guest: Grady Emerson)
Q: If you were just a high school senior without the baseball component, what other activities or pressures are you juggling at the end of your senior year?
Grady explains that it's a hectic year balancing school, playoffs, and the draft, but emphasizes soaking in the senior year experiences, staying focused on football and education, and keeping family involved as a support system.
Breakout Breakdown (Guest: Seth Hernandez)
Q: How different is the professional pace compared to high school, and how are you handling the increased workload?
He talks about training back home, getting under the wing of Rafael Flores, and adjusting to a longer spring training with a focus on gradual throwing and building strength.
