Mound Visit

Hot on the heels of a 24-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Easter Sunday, Gabe breaks down the current state of the Orioles, and why/where the team is falling short. From injuries to their rotation, bad lineup construction, VERY questionable roster construction, and more. Trust me, you're going to want to listen to this. This is not a happy occasion.

After a short break for Gabe and Kenji to explore new cities and watch some baseball in person, the boys are back for a recap on each of their Opening Day Experiences (and a life update from Kenji). Kenji talks about his time in Kansas City watching the Royals take on the Guardians while Gabe talks about his time in Toronto watching the Orioles play north of the border. Additionally, they each giv...

Congratulations everyone, we made it. Opening Day is finally upon us. Winter is officially over, and Spring has sprung. In this episode, Kenji and Gabe are celebrating the start of the season with 2 games, 1) What you rather do than go to a White Sox game? and 2) What are your craziest bold predictions leading into the season? This episode is sure to turn some heads and get some quizzical looks, b...

In this episode, Gabe and Kenji go through each and every starting pitching matchup for Opening Day, going by the minute through each start time and each pitcher facing off. Both Kenji and Gabe will be at Opening Day games throughout the country, and neither of them can wait any longer for baseball to be back. From the start of Brewers Yankees at 3:05 PM EST to the finale of Cubs v Diamondbacks at...

In this episode, Gabe and Kenji are recapping the Tokyo series, including Roki Sasaki's flamethrowing debut, Ohtani's controversial homer, the Cubs looking flat, and much more. They also talk about where they'd like to see MLB's International Series go next. (Domincan Republic???)

This episode, Gabe and Kenji are going through the moves of the offseason and drafting a starting lineup (and rotation) by Wins Above Replacement. A bit of nuance to this draft, as we had to dig deep into the offseason moves. We can only draft players who moved teams or moved leagues (NPB to MLB, for example). Tune in and listen to evaluate each squad and who did a better job drafting! Thanks for...

Roki Sasaki makes his long awaited debut, and he sure did not disappoint! His fastball movement stood out to Kenji and his Splitter spin rate was fascinating to Gabe. Plenty of injury notes from across the league as well, with Felix Bautista making his way back from injury, while guys like Luis Gil, Giancarlo Stanton, Gunnar Henderson, Manny Machado, Adolis Garcia, Wyatt Langford, Corbin Carroll a...

Drafting one player from every team, Kenji and Gabe attempt to fill out a roster with more home runs than the other guy. Each team that is taken is off the board, so by the end of the episode the guys are drafting some pretty obscure players from their respective teams. Full credit to Jomboy Media and Talkin' Baseball for the idea, which we changed slightly. We had a great time doing this, please...

In this episode, Gabe and Kenji briefly touch on the newest news in the world of Major League Baseball. Travis Hunter says he's more impressive of a player than Shohei, and the Yankees are holding their breath on Luis Gil, Cody Bellinger homers, Samuel Basallo goes 500 feet, and the Red Sox Top Prospects continue to hammer the baseball in Spring Training.

Now it's Gabe's turn to breakdown his picks for the 2025 MLB Season Standings, with some crazy takes. From the Cincinnati Reds to the Seattle Mariners, he sure took a leap of faith picking them to make it. He gives a full breakdown on why he believes in the 2025 Orioles, and why he thinks the Diamondbacks have a real chance to win a title. Be sure to listen to Kenji's picks from a couple of days a...

In this episode, Kenji reveals his predictions for the 2025 MLB season. From division winners and losers to the Wild Card teams and his eventual World Series matchup, this is sure to get a reaction out of the listeners. There is plenty to debate, and these two clowns do plenty of that. Kenji's high on the Red Sox and Royals big time, and one mystery NL team as well. You'll have to listen in to fin...

In this episode, Gabe and Kenji break down the Yankees ending their longstanding facial hair policy, and each talk about 5 prospects they're most excited to see in Spring Training. With all 30 clubs playing games as of today, baseball is officially back. Thanks for listening to us and sticking with us. We love doing this.

In this episode, Kenji and Gabe recap the final flurry of offseason moves that happened just before Spring Training. They talk about the Red Sox and Alex Bregman, Pete Alonso and the Mets, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Blue Jays. Games start the day of this episode releasing, and we won't have another day without baseball games until October! Welcome back baseball, we've missed you.

In this offseason episode of Mound Visit, Gabe and Kenji draft one player from every team. But there's a catch. They can only take one player from each team, meaning if someone takes Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts is off the board. If someone takes Aaron Judge, Gerrit Cole is off the board. Tune in to see what strategies each guy employs, and tell us who's team you think is better! Be on the lookout...

Yes, you read the title right. Welcome to a special episode of the show, where Kenji and I place all 30 teams on the dating spectrum. From "Walking Down the Aisle", to "First Date", and much more. You'll want to tune in to hear what the final tier is called. We'll do more league rankings and predictions as the season gets ever closer, but we HAD to get in and rank all 30 teams with how much has al...

The rich get richer. In this episode, Kenji and Gabe discuss the signing of elite international free agent Roki Sasaki and the best reliever on the market in Tanner Scott. Both of whom go to the Dodgers on relatively team-friendly deals. Is this good for baseball? Bad for baseball? Only time will truly tell, but tune in to this episode to hear our takes on the matter.

Corbin Burnes surprised everyone in baseball when he chose to go to the Arizona Diamondbacks instead of other suitors that had offered more money. While we can't blame him for making the decision he did, the Orioles fan in Gabe wished he would be coming back to B-more. Kenji is our Japanese baseball savant, and with Roki's decision imminent this week has major implications for both MLB and Japanes...

Joe joins us for this special holiday episode of the show! We recap some additional trades around the league, and Joe rants about the Rangers offseason while Kenji and I give our Christmas Wishlists for our teams. We hope you all had a great holiday!

New Year, new episode of the podcast! There's a lot to cover, from Ohtani's massive 10 year, $700 million dollar contract to Yamamoto's 12 year, $325 million dollar deal. The Dodgers have been red hot in Free Agency, but the rest of the contenders have been making moves as well. The Red Sox, the Braves, the Yankees, and more have all had active offseasons. We also get an update on the state of Jap...

Brady even gets on his soapbox and talks Phillies and their confident series win against the Miami Ma...

Welcome back! This episode is a special one, as only Gabe is here to talk baseball. He talks about the O's winning the division, the Phillies clinching, and the complete madness that is the AL West. In a short 20 minute episode, he delves into each matchup in the Playoffs and gives a "gut reaction" on who will come out on top. Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to the show! This week, we're talking about a horrible week of injuries, from Shohei Ohtani to Felix Baustista to Chase Silseth. It also was a brutal week to be a Rangers fan, as Joe will talk about. In general, this week was about teams struggling with the dog days of summer. Kenji's in shambles, Gabe knows the O's took a big hit to their playoff chances, and Joe is pessimistic about...

Welcome to a special midweek episode of the show! Today, the guys are going through every Major League Club's chances of making the playoffs. While the bottom dwellers have been decided, there is much to be fought for down the stretch, especially in the Wild Card Race. Tune in to listen to our wacky category names and hot takes on who should be where, including a bit of Rangers and Phillies bias....
