  • The Roundtable - Do they even like baseball?

    This review is specifically for this week’s episode of the Roundtable. I couldn’t even make it through the entire episode as the hosts’ insufferable whining about having to discuss the Wild Card race was too much to deal with. Any team in the Wild Card chase is obviously going to be flawed but the hosts didn’t even attempt to hide their contempt for discussing these teams and their playoff hopes. Based on what I heard, the hosts don’t even like the sport of baseball at all.

  • Great work

    Hey that most recent podcast with Sam and Grant was really really fantastic. Someone should do an analysis if there was something in particular about that episode that made it transcend the others.

  • No notes. Excellent product. Best baseball podcast ever made. I love Grant, Sam, and even Andy dispite the fact that he is always very wrong. It also should be noted that this is the only pro labor podcast and a podcast that only talks about the Dodger and Yankees, so be forewarned Starkville is also wonderful.
