  • Horrendous

    Legitimately one of the worst podcasts I've ever listened to. Uninformed, unintelligent, rambling drivel. A total zero hosted by two totally fraudulent fools.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 161: What It All Comes Down To
Q: Who is your number three in the playoff starting rotation?
It's got to be Kam Schlittler, despite some concerns regarding his readiness and consistency.
Episode 161: What It All Comes Down To
Q: How would you use Luis Hill this upcoming postseason?
I think he could still be useful, but he has been erratic and lacks consistency.
Episode 153: After A Short Stop
Q: From Kenny Glantz at K McAwesome, does Rodin's performance in the All-Star Game prove he's better than Scoobble and should be in the Cy Young conversation?
Yes. I think based on the way people are talking about Aaron Boone's performance of the All-Star Game, I think it's a clear yes.
Episode 153: After A Short Stop
Q: From at ShiestyBelly, if you were emailing someone and you wanted to add CC Sabathia to the email, do you CC him or do you him him?
I don't have an answer to that, but I guess you'd CC CC.
Episode 136: Farewell Whipple (feat. And That's Baseball)
Q: What do you think about the Yankees roster?
I think it's a good place to be in at this point.
