  • Jesse and Jack are the best

    I’ve been following Jesse like an obsessed stalker for years and I’m extremely happy that he and Jack came together to make this amazing show. The happiness that it brings me to see that they have uploaded a new episode can’t be overstated, as someone who doesn’t care much about sport beyond the diamondbacks it is great to have two guys with this much knowledge and care for the team talking about it each week.

  • A podcast for baseball lovers

    I’ve been listening to Jack and Jesse’s podcast since episode 1 and, now into the 2026 season they definitely have found their rhythm and have themselves an informative, entertaining podcast. This is more in the “analysis-commentary” and not “dudes saying-whatever-is-in-their-head” style. So listen elsewhere if you want that.

    Jesse and Jack are passionate fans of the game—this shines through every episode. But I like that they try to ground their analysis and criticism in data and the real-wor... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mailbag: Are Pavin Smith and Zac Gallen Running Out of Time With the D-backs?
Q: Should the team consider using an opener for Zac Gallen or skipping starts to manage him better?
The hosts weigh the tradeoffs of an opener versus letting Gallen go through the lineup a third time, noting bullpen availability and matchups, and suggesting a cautious, data-informed approach rather than a hard rule.
Mailbag: Are Pavin Smith and Zac Gallen Running Out of Time With the D-backs?
Q: Why is Pavin Smith still on the team and why hasn't the team moved him?
They discuss roster flexibility with options, how DFA is final, and how optioning repeatedly can keep a player in the organization, while cutting him would end the path to return.
Mailbag: Are Pavin Smith and Zac Gallen Running Out of Time With the D-backs?
Q: What is one thing about the 2026 Diamondbacks that you think the public is misunderstanding?
The hosts explain that roster management, especially around optioning players like Pavin Smith, means many players aren't truly DFA'd but moved around via options; the broader question is the balance between development, depth, and competitiveness, not simply cutting players.
Corbin Carroll Go-Ahead Grand Slam Lifts D-backs Over Blue Jays
Q: What do you think, Jack, about the current trajectory of the team and its ability to maintain this level of performance?
The pitching has been better than expected, the bullpen has solidified, and while the offense has carried heavy production from runners in scoring position in some games, there's a need for more walks and depth across the lineup to sustain this success.
Corbin Carroll Go-Ahead Grand Slam Lifts D-backs Over Blue Jays
Q: Here is one. Jack, early in the season, you briefly predicted the team would finish with 75 wins. What's your take on that now? Have your thoughts changed?
The team was projected for around 80 wins, and while pitching has exceeded expectations, offense has shown signs of regression, especially in walk rate, so it's reasonable to revise upwards as health improves, but the overall pace remains uncertain until more consistent plate discipline returns.
