Must Listen
I have learned so much from this show. The way they break down advanced stats and analyze players is interesting and informative. I’m not even a big fantasy baseball guy and I get so much out of this podcast!
As someone who’s listened to every episode since the 2020. The shows direction over the last year has become harder and harder to support. Less of an emphasis on fantasy and too many guest have watered down the episode quality. The athletic canceling the other baseball shows has not helped R&B either.
Please bring back the old song
Honestly I always understand journalists need to play nice and have their angle to stay in the clubhouse. but good lord Brit just folds integrity for the take of the next opportunity. “Time for a change” -DVR. This quote applies to Brit, 110%
I overall like the podcast. Yet using that echo chamber as the communication choice is indicative of susceptibility to confirmation bias. Doesn’t build trust
