Apple Podcasts5BKomminskUnited States2 years ago - Good Stuff!
This is above and beyond the most interesting baseball podcast out there. It answers questions I didn't even know I had about all the behind the scenes stuff. I've listened to the whole season twice through and recommend it to anyone with even a passing interest in the game. I didn't really know Jimmy and Ron before this, but they are insightful and personable with a wealth of intergenerational knowledge. Good work, dudes!
Apple Podcasts5strong b plusUnited States3 years ago - Extremely Well Done
For the baseball who yearns for more Jimmy Rollins and Ron Darling deliver with this podcast. Love how they’re able to bring in their own experiences or those of their guests to explain the unwritten. Hope MLB and Auducy keep this going—It’s awesome.

Apple Podcasts5Noth of BangorUnited States3 years ago - Unwritten - Best baseball podcast available!!
My favorite sports podcast by far. I only wish it was more than once a week and I was so bummed when the show ended for the season. I’m listening to the show while on my morning run. I have become a big fan of both Jimmy Rollins and Ron Darling. If there was a way to give a higher rating than five stars I would do so. hope to see more of you next spring. Go St Louis Cardinals

Apple Podcasts5stum guys sucks alotCanada3 years ago - Dirty Slide? Much clearer to me now - the Fan pays the price
Good content from a couple of experts. A Fan’s prospective is always going to be on the side of there team. Players however, understand the way it should be played.
Lowering my rating after esp. 18 - These millionaires have lost in their greed. “It’s a Business” is a cop out. They talk about how much money they make and never mention that the Fans are paying the bill. Hundreds of dollars for a decent seat is nothing for these guys, heck, they probably get the bests seats for free.

Apple Podcasts4BrinntUnited States3 years ago - Is Aaron Judge on Steroids?
It is a known part of the game, it has history that makes it relevant. Judge and Stanton certainly look like they are on Steroids. Are they? There is a 6% chance that are not on steroids. Please address this unwritten and secret aspect of baseball.
