  • FIX AUDIO

    I would guess 90% of the comments here are about the embarrassingly horrible audio, why is this not fixed?

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Breaking down the Draft class: High school hitters (Guest: Jacob Lombard)
Q: Who do you think is the best player in the draft?
Both hosts consistently point to Grady Emerson as the best overall player in the draft, with consensus that he projects very highly and could be the No. 1 pick depending on team needs.
Breaking down the Draft class: College pitchers (Guest: Jackson Flora)
Q: What have you learned from UCSB's development model that you think translates to success at the next level?
Flora explains UCSB's personalized development approach, focusing on building physical strength, refining a change-up, and emphasizing mental approach and consistency—elements he believes will help him succeed in pro ball.
Breaking down the Draft class: College pitchers (Guest: Jackson Flora)
Q: Do you think Flora could go top five, or is there a strong chance he slides given the depth of the group?
The hosts and Flora agree that Flora is a strong top-five candidate, with a realistic chance to go as high as three or five, depending on team needs and draft boards, while acknowledging there could be other factors that influence the exact slot.
Breaking down the Draft class: College pitchers (Guest: Jackson Flora)
Q: With the Golden Spikes finalists announced, who would you vote for among Chalowski, Hairston, and Jackson, and why?
Flora deflects with respect for all three, but notes that choosing between them is exceptionally tough and emphasizes that each finalist has been outstanding, making it a very close decision.
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.
