    It’s like the mad hatter’s tea party but they’re talking about baseball. Banned topics is the best - I love to not hear about them :)

  • Banned topics :)

    Banned topics are my favorite episodes- it’s a brilliant idea. I am getting more excited by each banned topic - because football analogies for baseball, stadium daydreams, and contract griping are all terrible! Thrilled you are editing your conversation topics- but it’s fun to complain about them 1 last time. I love this. Well done :)

Why Can't Fans Be Normal? (feat. Tom Hackimer)
Q: Do you think leagues are doing a good job of preparing athletes for fan interactions?
It largely depends on the team's culture, but overall, more needs to be done to prepare athletes for heckling and social media scrutiny.
Why Can't Fans Be Normal? (feat. Tom Hackimer)
Q: When in your baseball playing career did you start to be aware of fans trying to get an emotional response from you?
Several times in college, where heckling was prevalent. The general rule is the lower the level of the game, the worse the heckling.
This Is a Clown Meeting, Bro

Q: What do you make of the Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants trade?
It's deeply confusing and seems financially motivated rather than a strategic move on the part of the Red Sox.
Expropriate the Rays! (feat. Carson Lund)
Q: What is your relationship with the game look like today?
I'm a hardcore Red Sox fan. It actually re-emerged in the last decade as I started playing in a rec league and just reconnecting with the game.
