Batting Around Podcast

Defector's David Roth is back for a record fourth appearance on the show to talk about Stephen's favorite subject, The New York Mets. It's a Roth episode, you guys love these. We also had fun talks about Dodgers Stadium, living next to TikTok stars, city connect jerseys, baseball cards, and loveable major city mayors. If you sign up for the Patreon side at www.

We talk to Chelsea Manning about the Cubs, gay bars, the 2016 World Series, congressional scrutiny on the MLB's antitrust exemption, then some mailbag. On the Patreon side Jane and Lauren check in with Stephen about Bryce Harper, do some podcast beef, then talk about the Mariner/Angels brawl and come up with the best idea for a sports video game ever. If you want to hear the Patreon side of the sh...

Jane cares about one all star candidate, Ichiro's favorite hitter, Lauren's revolutionary new meal prep system that is extremely Lauren, then we catch up on our mailbag backlog, including answering how we can get players "slamming ass" again. Jane is kind of a jerk on this one. Then on the patreon side we talk about the sex lives of mascots and Pride Night at Citi Field. Go to Patreon.com/BattingA...

Audio sounds like shit because we recorded live together and I was drunk while operating the mixer. I also didn't edit it much because I'm busy and tired. Whatever it's still good I'm sure. Go to Patreon.com/BattingAround to sign up for the premium extra content for every episode. This week we made a tier list of Target Field scran, it's almost as long as a normal episode.

Morning episode! Early in the week episode! Weird energy for us. Joe Girardi fired. Keelhauling. Rays Pride Night debacle. Which Jesus roots for which MLB team. Players to Be Shamed Later: Twins Edition. The Pederson/Pham/Trout fantasy drama. How to pick out a hat. Then on the patreon side we Couch Around about two episodes of Bob's Burgers. Go to Patreon.com/BattingAround to sign up.

We get into some extremely Batting Around shit and spend pretty much the whole main part of the show talking about the underground cheesesteak eating competitions at Citizens Bank Park. It's awesome, but it's also kinda gross. Then on the Patreon side we have an excellent Players to Be Shamed Later segment where we blaze a new trail and do some predictions for upcoming Ps to Be S'd Later. It's pre...

We're joined by author P.E. Moskowitz to talk about how they got into baseball, Steve Cohen's forced feminization workplace scandal, being a queer baseball fan, the Mets, and some real good mailbag questions. Then on the patreon side we have more Players to Be Shamed Later and a more serious discussion of the Josh Donaldson's racism. Go to Patreon.com/BattingAround for the extra content. Check out...

Doink (@doinkpatrol on twitter) of The Pesky Report and The Sunday Morning Podcast is here to tell us how the Boston Red Sox are turning it around. We also finally have a good Player to Be Shamed Later and do some mailbag. Then on the Patreon side we blaze a new trail into the supernatural side of psychosabermetrics and talk about Lauren's mathematical ranking of no-hitters since 2010. Jane is sic...

We dive into the NL West, not the boring stuff about the Dodgers and the Padres but an analysis of the Diamondbacks and Rockies. The Reds are really really bad. Can the Angels keep this up? Red Sox bad. Mets good? Mailbag. Then on the premium half (go to Patreon.com/BattingAround for access to this part of the episode and more) we talk about the Joe West podcast, the new Star Trek show, sending we...

*STICK AROUND TO THE END OF THE EPISODE FOR A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE FUTURE OF THE SHOW* Bonafide YouTube star Bailey Freeman of Foolish Baseball is back on the show and we're talking Guardians, the feral cats taking over the Oakland Coliseum, and since it's Lauren and Bailey talking there's some real analytics sicko and video editing suite stuff in there too. Also a new psychosabermetrics...

We talk about Joe West's upcoming podcast, add our first real entries into Players to Be Shamed Later, then do a huge mailbag segment that covers just about everything that happened in the second week of the 2022 MLB regular season. FanGraphs article on sample size: https://library.fangraphs.com/principles/sample-size/ Lewis' twitter: https://twitter.com/pigeonize

We're talking opening day, asses, parachuting mascots, John Smoltz, NPB and KBO update, bad owners, mailbag and we debut our new segment "Player to Be Shamed Later."

It's the MLB regular season preview episode! You know what to expect from those. Lauren gives us a look into her new baseball philosophy, Stephen pronounces poutine weird, some other fun stuff. Check out twitter to join our discord!

Baseball is back, baby! No more of this TV bullshit! Jane and Lauren check in from the convoy, then we go over the hot stove stuff since the lockout ended, and close it out with the return of mailbag.

WE RECORDED THIS BEFORE THE LOCKOUT ENDED! It's another Couching Around, this time about three fantastic episodes of Sunny. The lockout is over, so this is probably the last one where we can pretty much totally avoid talking about baseball, but we'll probably still do more TV stuff.

MLB is still in owners' lockout so we're still watching TV, and this time we're back to our anime comfort zone with the baseball episode of Samurai Champloo. it's a good show, go watch it.

idk man, we were in a mood

No Cartridge's Trevor Strunk (@Hegelbon)joins us to talk about anime, specifically the baseball anime Ace of Daimond, as well as final fantasy and Japanese delinquent gangs. See if you can count how many times we get the name of the anime we're discussing wrong in this episode.

We're back from our break and talking hot stove, cutting open baseballs, the lockout, whether or not Scherzer will survive being a Met, the Beatles, and of course a little bit of Star Trek.

We wrap up the World Series, talk about the CBA negotiations, Reds tanking, qualifying offers, and since it's just Lauren and Jane there's several different Star Trek discussions.

World Series stuff, Biden talks baseball with the pope, Luis Robert's anime lambo, Steve Cohen's tweets used against MLB in court, a Gabe Kapler impression, then some Metal Gear and LotR stuff in place of Star Trek stuff this week.

Dune, Wes Anderson, Joc, Eddie, a bad Bob Nightengale piece, CBA negotiations, ass in the jackpot, fandom calvinism, then of course some good Deep Space 9 riffs.

We manage to talk about the postseason, but also ren fairs, how to stop the chop, Boston accents, the announcement about the new housing requirement for minor leaguers, Mets GM drama and Stephen's solutions, then a really fun mailbag segment. we promise there's no broadway in this one but fuckable Star Trek characters talk is back .

What a thrill! KHive Stephen (aka Punished Stephen aka The Legendary Faggot) is back as we talk about the postseason so far(which has been pretty good?) and the MLB broadway promo (which Jane forced everyone to watch). Some good mailbag stuff in there, including the return of which Star Trek Characters Fuck Good.
