  • CBA episode was weird

    Great show overall but how can you have like 5 people on to talk about Pokémon and only 1 guest (a former player rep) to talk about something as dynamic as labor negotiations?

  • Try Hard Baseball Pod

    Two guys trying too hard to be funny and entertaining but mostly failing. If Passan has great sources then that is something. But but they’re not funny and they have this podcast about baseball terms and don’t seem to understand that a dude ranks higher in the hierarchy than a guy. Unforgivable to me. But there are a lot of people who are good at something and also think they’re funny.

  • The very best!

    The first episode was strong, but the second one – with Dave Roberts and John Schneider – was unreal. It’s genuinely one of the best podcast episodes I’ve ever heard, and I say that as a lifelong Yankees fan. I expected Passan to deliver a good show when he launched the podcast, but after the Roberts/Schneider episode, he might already have the best baseball podcast out there. Phenomenal work.
