    Great content but could definitely use more talk about whether or not Luke Voit has homered that day.

  • Thank you Ellen Adair

    I learned from the poscats your chants at Phillies games, so I said, “Don’t be a hero just do something that increases you weighted on base average.” It worked, it ended in a Kyle Schwarber RBI double to take the lead. GO PHILLIES!!!

  • Such a great way to look at baseball movies

    I’ve been hooked on this since they first started during the pandemic and now I can’t wait for a new podcast to drop! Not only is the subject matter interesting but they rate the movies in such a novel way…using the 20-80 baseball scouting scale. Both Ellen and Eric are a perfect pairing, playing off each other in such a genuine way as a couple should be. For me, it’s a must listen and I recommend that everyone give it a try!

  • My Favorite Baseball Movie Podcast

    I am so glad that Eric and Ellen are back providing commentary on baseball film. these episodes are things that I look forward to listening to on my long runs. Eric and Ellen keep me company while I log some serious miles and remind me why I like both baseball and movies, and the occasional cartoon or episode of the twilight zone.
