4.5 out of 5 stars from 126 ratings
  • End the world baseball classic

    A meaningless exhibition tournament where people get worn out and can’t compete at their highest level in the games that actually matter. A psyop designed to make people more nationalistic and less likely to think of themselves as citizens of earth

  • Good show, but “UH”…

    A good show, but these hosts say “UH” so much it borders on distracting. Can only handle listening for a few minutes

  • Great baseball show

    Darragh is a great host and does a great job keeping things light without rambling about himself like the EW podcast. Favorite overall podcast besides FT.

  • Insightful Analysis

    These guys may not have inside information to help predict moves, but they’re knowledgeable enough to break down transactions after the fact and seem to know something useful about every player. The only downside of the show is that they’re not easy to listen to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Max Scherzer, The Red Sox' Lineup, Spring Extension Candidates, And More!
Q: Which players do you see as most likely to be extended before the season begins?
Both hosts highlight Connor Griffin as a strong extension candidate for the Pirates, and discuss potential extensions for other young players like Nick Kurtz in Oakland and Freddie Peralta in Milwaukee's orbit, though Peralta's situation is more contingent on his team's willingness to invest long-term.
Murakami To Be Posted This Offseason, Managerial Vacancies, And More!
Q: Will this year finally be the Mariners' year, or will they have to do it again next year?
The Mariners have a very real shot this year, and it's already a significant achievement for them to reach the ALCS for the first time since 2001.
Murakami To Be Posted This Offseason, Managerial Vacancies, And More!
Q: Do you think anything is possible in trading Skubal to the Mets?
It would be absolutely batty and insane for the Tigers to trade Skubal this offseason, given their aspirations to win, and they have the financial means to keep him.
The Phillies' Outfield, Tarik Skubal, And Hiring College Coaches
Q: Do you think the Brewers should change their contact over power approach?
The Brewers should maintain their identity of contact and defense rather than shift to a more power-focused strategy, as it has proven effective for them.
The Phillies' Outfield, Tarik Skubal, And Hiring College Coaches
Q: What positions do the Astros need to target to make it back to the post-season?
The main need for the Astros is starting pitching, as they lack depth and need to ensure multiple reliable pitchers in their rotation.
