  • 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.

  • Inspired!

    The interview with Schneids and Doc about the 2025 World Series was INSPIRED! As a Blue Jays fan it was sometimes difficult to listen to parts of the interview- but hindsight is 20/20 and time does lessen the sting (but only a little bit 🥴)

    An historic series, an inspired interview, and wonderful camaraderie between the two managers.

    Bravo Jeff!!! Looking forward to more episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pokémon: MLB's Nerdiest Secret
Q: How has Pokemon helped you stay connected with teammates on the road?
Trading stories, opening packs together, and organizing binder pages have become a social glue that keeps lines of communication open and friendships strong even when playing for different teams.
Pokémon: MLB's Nerdiest Secret
Q: What drew you to Pokemon beyond baseball?
The community in card shops and the way Pokemon gives players a chance to connect with fans and teammates alike, creating shared experiences that aren't about the game itself but about mutual passion.
Big Dumper: Catching Up with Cal Raleigh
Q: What makes catching such a challenging job beyond the physical toll?
The mental workload—constantly thinking through scenarios, predicting hitters, coordinating with a pitching staff, and then winding down after games—makes it as demanding as it is rewarding.
Big Dumper: Catching Up with Cal Raleigh
Q: Cal, great to see you. What is baseball like in your view, and how does catching fit into that picture?
Baseball is a nuanced, beautiful game where catchers act like on-field managers, coordinating with pitchers and guiding the defense while still playing the sport themselves.
