  • Hey Dopes!

    Maybe before you bury Conforto in favor of Wade Jr., Wilmer, and Matos you should compare their Career OPS: Conforto 816. Wade Jr 762. Flores 760. Matos 661. Chapman 790. Soler 797.

  • Too many short segments

    Why can’t we get the full show posted rather than a bunch of 10-20 minutes segments. Also can we get less commercials in the middle of the interviews?
