  • Good Podcast

    Guys, the A’s have Denzel Clarke at center not Butler. The only reason Butler is playing center is because Clarke is injured.

    I’ve listened for a long time. I like DVR but I’m gonna say goodbye. It’s fair that analysts get things wrong, they do the best they can given the info they have and everyone gets things wrong at times. That said- Eno is wrong A LOT. So much that I don’t see why anyone would value his opinion.

    Sorry. He seems like a good guy.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Winter Meetings Day 3 Recap
Q: What is the role of the impact of the impending sale in finances and how the team is run?
They need multiple starting pitchers, preferably controllable ones, unlike Nick Pavetta, who's probably going to opt out if they keep him and stays healthy.
Winter Meetings Day 3 Recap
Q: What was the buzz on the Alonso deal coming so short after the Kyle Shwarber deal, being so similar?
Well, first of all, you know, it was dead in terms of what things were actually happening.
Winter Meetings Day 3 Recap
Q: Could it be Mason Miller?
Number one, I think it's definitely not Jackson Merrill, I say that.
Rebound Starting Pitchers, Past Big Contracts & 'The Year of the Splitter' in 2026?
Q: Trevor, how do you stack those guys up? Is there a clear favorite from that bunch?
I see all of them and I'm like, give me Ragans. Even if I have to pay the third round pick to get Ragans, I think he's the best of that bunch for 2026.
The Dodgers' Aces Are Dealing, Both LCS Matchups at 2-0
Q: What would be your approach for the Blue Jays bats to try to have some success against George Kirby?
They need to maintain discipline to stay in the zone while being aggressive, as they won't walk their way to victory.
