    I’m trying to mow the lawn or driving home with the AC blasting so I don’t die of heat stroke but can’t hear because you guys speak so softly! Awesome time listening when I can hear :)

    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Putting A Bow On The Minor League Season (Guest: Nathan Flewelling)
Q: With AFL approaching, how much weight do you give to AFL scouting and performance when building the top 100 and team lists?
We focus more on scouting than performance, while considering the environment, sample size, and how players adjust; performance at Fall League is informative but not the sole basis for ranking.
Playoff Fever In The Minors (Guest: Demetrio Crisantes)
Q: What was the draft experience like for you before we started recording?
He describes being a seventh-round pick out of high school, dealing with injuries, and choosing to pursue professional baseball to seize opportunity and continue developing.
Playoff Fever In The Minors (Guest: Demetrio Crisantes)
Q: Tell me a little bit about where you grew up.
Crisantes explains growing up in Nogales on the Arizona–Mexico border, the strong local baseball culture, and how community support and early tournaments guided his path toward pro ball.
Even more rankings (Guest: Arjun Nimmala)
Q: What was your immediate reaction to the trade and how did you handle the first 24 hours?
He described the initial shock, then highlighted the Angels' outreach, time off to adjust, and the process of moving to Huntsville while getting settled with the new team.
If you podcast it...
Q: Stevie D asks what's the comparison between Vahn Lackey and Joe Mauer when Mauer got drafted?
The hosts and Sam discuss similarities in athleticism and potential at catcher, noting Mauer's multi-sport background and Lackey's projection; while Lackey is viewed as an elite athletic catcher with a rising trajectory, the panel cautions against assuming any Hall of Fame outcome, focusing instead on development and tool quality.
