  • I mean it’s alright…

    I just unfollowed. Joe, I very much respect your ability as a writer and author (especially the Baseball 100, Why We Love Baseball, and The Machine) and I can’t wait for your new book. But I am sorry to say that this podcast is super boring and corny, and just not interesting. There are much better baseball podcasts, specifically Talkin Baseball from Jomboy Media. Sorry guys

    Guys, huge fan, but have been severely disappointed with your general lack of interest in the blue jays. They are in the World Series, have been the most exciting team in the playoffs, and you don’t know how to pronounce the last name of their 2-hitter… it’s Lu-Kas (somehow). Let’s tighten up the Jays coverage please! (Currently 2-0 in game 5).

  • No Shouting

    TLDR: two decent people yammering.

    No anger, no meanness, no hate, just love for all that is good. That means rational Yankees hatred and celebrations of virtually everything else in the world that is life-affirming, particularly that which is sports-related. There’s a fair bit of baseball talk, but so, so much more.
