    Not only do Lauren and Xavier seem to have such a genuine relationship, they give freshness to the channel in a way MLB desperately needs. The way they cover the game is fun and entertaining to say the least. The conversation and banter is refreshing and I truly do enjoy watching and now listening to these two. You can tell they enjoy what they do and their love for the game comes through easy and naturally. Best of luck with the show! They are gunna kill it!
