Batting Around Podcast

We're still on our holiday vacation so here's another unlocked Patreon episode. Since we'll be doing a Couchin' Around for Brockmire season 2 soon here's one for season one of Brockmire. We'll be back with regular episodes next week.

We're on Christmas break so here's a fun episode that was previously patreon-only. You can also go sign up for our patreon for an episode we released yesterday on the Hallmark baseball movies, which is a lot more fun than it sounds. Anyway here's the description for this one: Nick Babakitis from the Corner Späti podcast guests this week to tell us all about European baseball and his experience pla...

FanGraphs managing editor and host of Effectively Wild Meg Rowley is back, and we talked about SO much stuff: cats' buttholes, the curse of the Colonel, the World Series, an extremely deep dive into all things Arizona, Stephen's appearance in an article on gay Phillies fans. Not one to be missed!

Even though it feels like a million years ago already we talked about the end of the LCS series before we get into our critiques of the new stadium foods for the Dbacks and Rangers. Then we recap the putrid vibes at the opening ceremony, the excellent game one, and the less excellent game two. Monday 10/30 we're going to be doing our Watch Along for this series!

Our good buddy Manu of My Brother, My Captain, My Podcast and NotACast is back for our pre-postseason tradition of taking it easy for a bit before the chaos of the playoffs. We catch him up on the what's going on with the last week of the regular season, then spend some time talking about movies and TV shows, video games and labor strikes, and of course the assassination of President John F. Kenne...

It's Big Beer Friday, or it was yesterday anyway.

Our friend Marc Normandin is back to talk about his new project, Doom at 30, which you can go back on kickstarter now! We talk some baseball stuff that we missed during our unexpected week off, get mad at a real guy and a guy we imagined, and talk about what sports we think should cease to exist. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/doomat30/doom-at-30

We make our glorious return after taking last week off, and oh boy do we talk about a lot of baseball stuff in this one. It's a really fun one even though our audio recording program mangled Jane's track.

PUP guitarist Steve Sladkowski is on the show this week to talk about the Blue Jays, scoring games, stadium renovations, and the Jays winning the 2015 World Series.

We tore ourselves away from Baldur's Gate 3 long enough to talk about baseball fights and a bunch of stuff about the Orioles. I'd write a longer description but I gotta go play more Baldur's Gate 3.

Bobby and Alex from Tipping Pitches are on this episode and we're holding Stephen accountable for his crimes.

Big trade deadline episode! We've got a week until the deadline, so we go over where all 30 teams stand, who is likely to go, who needs what, who should push all the chips in and who should pack up and try again next year. Then we talk Barbenheimer a little bit and do some mailbag. On Wednesday, July 26th we'll be doing a watchalong in our discord for our patreon subscribers. Come hang out with th...

Forget the actual MLB amateur draft, here at Batting Around we're concerned with professionals. Professional hot guys. It's back, and this time it's Batting Around (really just Stephen) vs. the guests Lewis, Alyssa, and Jeremy in a head-to-head draft of the hottest of the hot MLB players. Check out https://twitter.com/BattinAround to vote on which team is the hottest.

Defector's David Roth is back to talk about the Mets (of course), then Lauren hosts a fun game where we have to guess if it's an old MLB player or garbage-tier Stan Lee character. Good mailbag in there, too. go to Patreon.com/BattingAround to help the show and get access to our bonus episodes and watch alongs.

Bailey of Foolish Baseball is back to talk about Andrew McCutchen's, let's call it "affinity," for furries and playing baseball near furry conventions. We also talk about the other news of the week, like the perfect game tossed Wednesday night, Orioles pride night, and ballplayers' hobbies. Good mailbag questions, too, except the one from Richard Staff. Be sure to sign up at Patreon.com/BattingAro...
