4.7 out of 5 stars from 132 ratings
  • Okay show

    I like it for the padre content, Darnay is likable and objective, Derek gets fired up, but mostly throws out unrealistic contract deals as well as trade scenarios.

  • Derek

    Please turn down Derek’s mic. His takes are awful and just making them louder is unlistenable. A person that would suggest that the best athlete on the team should play 1st base obviously doesn’t know squat about baseball. I couldn’t believe it when he said it. I was like who is this guy and how does he have this job?
