  • Five&Dive: Best baseball podcast today

    For intelligent baseball talk there’s nothing better in 2026. Once upon a time effectively wild was good, but those days are long gone (with sam miller). So glad Five and Dive exists! Thank you guys and keep it up.

  • One of two essential baseball podcasts

    Truly some of the best baseball writers around from the leader in sabermetrics. Current standings, games, and news with some interesting other topics, scouting, and game-show style fun. Banter is great for millennials who like music, videogames, or have young children.

  • New fav

    Once I got used to these guys, quickly became my favorite baseball podcast. I love the banter about video games, books and movies before they get into baseball stuff. Just really fun podcast that I look forward to listening to.

    Thanks for the shout out if I’m the guy you’re talking about!!!

  • Do these guys like baseball?

    I keep trying to give this show a chance, but it’s just exhausting to listen to them complain about everything. They don’t seem like they enjoy baseball at all. The site is great, they are all excellent writers. But I’m not sure if this is their medium, given their horrible attitude.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Five and Dive, Episode 483: Epistles from St. Paul
Q: What do you think the ownership's next steps will be?
Given the retention of majority control, it appears they'll continue to look for solutions while burdened with debt and lacking strategic vision, potentially leading to further decline.
Five and Dive, Episode 483: Epistles from St. Paul
Q: How do you think the Twins' situation will impact their performance moving forward?
It seems they are tightening financially and probably will not consider the long-term health of the franchise as important as short-term gains, which will likely hurt performance in the upcoming seasons.
