  • 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.

  • Poorly-Timed Ads

    Solid first episode with Skenes and Skubal. Looking forward to future pods. Not looking forward to more terrible ad insertion. Ads start playing out of nowhere in the middle of conversations. Shows a lack a quality and effort. It would not be difficult to run actual ad breaks instead of this automatically-inserted nonsense that breaks up the conversation. Just another pod behind a big media company that’s trying to cut corners.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
