Double Play: A Baseball Podcast

Aaron Judge has finally done it! He's now tied with Roger Maris for the most home runs in AL history. We're talking about how his home run record compares to Pujols', whether breaking 61 will make him the real home run king, and Jared's mom having more followers than Roger Maris Jr. Jared rips apart the Maris family, specifically Roger Maris Jr., for not letting Aaron Judge's family enjoy the mome...

Congratulations to the newest member of the 700-HR club, Albert Pujols! After a slow start to the season and chasing a record that was seemingly unattainable, Pujols turned on the jets in the second-half to make history on Friday night hitting his 699th and 700th in the same game. Meanwhile, the A's knocked around Jacob deGrom and Dallas is starting to lean toward Joey's side about not being all-i...

Today’s show starts with Joey immediately revealing his involvement in the mascot cocaine ring. Jared woke up yesterday morning and began slandering Babe Ruth almost immediately. Aaron Judge’s recording-breaking season continues as he’s having the best September EVER and currently leads the Triple Crown race heading into today. Apple TV has the game on Friday so Yankees fans are worried that Judge...

We're back and Jared and Dallas are trying to buy a bar outside of a baseball stadium. It's mid-September so that means from this point forward we'll be taking a look at the standings/playoff picture during every episode. Jacob deGrom fanned 13 in his outing yesterday, including eight in his first three innings. We're talking about how Buck Showalter should manage him during the playoffs with his...

We’re back and two thirds of the podcast is ready for the baseball season to be over. Dallas is super jealous about Aaron Judge wanting to sign with the Red Sox after he basically begged to come to Boston in a postgame interview. Jared is considering leg-lengthening surgery which Dallas is also jealous about. Alek Manoah got into it with some dude on Twitter who thinks fat guys in baseball are rui...

Today we're taking a look at playoff standings and figuring out the new playoff format once and for all. We're talking about teams on the bubble in the NL and Joey thinks you cannot count the Padres in. We get into baseball nerd discussion and admit that if you're watching as much baseball as us you have to be a nerd; it's just about being a self-aware nerd. We have some new MLB rules as it pertai...

Today we’re taking a deep dive into everyone’s favorite topic: the Shohei Ohtani vs Aaron Judge AL MVP debate. We’re also checking in on the playoff picture and taking a look at where everyone stands in their division/wild card races. The Braves have been the best team in baseball for 3+ months and find themselves neck and neck with the Mets for first place in the NL East. Meanwhile, the Mets seem...

Breaking News: Jared's herbal cigarettes are here and his journey to become the face of the herbal cig industry starts now. Albert Pujols hit his 695th home run and is now five away from 700. Zac Gallen hasn't given up a run in 41 2/3 innings pitched and we wonder if he's on the move to a contender in 2023. The Dodgers are straight up boring at this point because they win every game. Goldschmidt i...

It’s September 1st and we’re taking a look at where we stand in the 2022 MLB season. We’re talking division leaders, wild card spots, teams on the bubble, MVP discussions, and a lot more. Will the Guardians hang onto their one-game lead in the AL Central? Will the Yankees continue their abysmal second half and choke away a 15.5 game lead in the AL East? Will the Mariners make the playoffs and win...

We open up today’s episode talking about Adam Wainwright’s comments on superstition in baseball. Should we be having more players mic’d up during broadcasts? JRod got the BAG and when it’s all said and done he could have the most lucrative contract in MLB history. Who’s the next young guy on track to get paid like JRod? Zack Hample and Marcus Stroman got into in on Twitter and we’re breaking down...

Jared has joined forces with his new best friend Alek Manoah in an effort to take down Gerrit Cole after meeting him in Boston this morning. Joey and Jared are arguing whether it was Cole or Judge who fired up the boys to help the Yankees sweep the Subway Series. Fernando Tatís Jr. has publicly apologized. We're breaking down the audio and deciding whether it's sincere and if we believe him. Oneil...

We’re back with Episode 39 and jared wants to clarify our baseball movie discussion from last episode. Dallas dressed as Freddie Mercury and people got mad at Jared for bullying him. The footage from Marcell Ozuna’s DUI arrest was released and we’re breaking down his effort to try and use his name to get let off easy. We react to the audio of the Braves radio broadcast introducing Ozuna as “Ozuna...

Marcell Ozuna was busted for a DUI which has put the Braves in a really tough spot with three years left on his contract. We talk about his prior history and whether we'll see him in the MLB again. Paul Goldschmidt might be NL MVP if the season ended today and one of the only guys that might keep him out of it is on his own team. The Braves announced a contract extension with Michael Harris and we...

In shocking news, Fernando Tatis Jr. has been suspended 80 games for testing positive for steroids and will miss the rest of the season. We're breaking down the news from a few different angles including his teammates reactions and how this might affect his image as arguably a top-five superstar in baseball. This leads to further discussion about steroid use among former and current players and ho...

It's Thursday all day baby! We're taking a look at some of the MLB matchups this weekend and boy are there some juicy ones. A Cardinals prospect hit for the home run cycle this week which seemingly has only happened one other time in the history of the universe. This leads to discussion on what be our personal home run cycles in our daily lives. Manny Machado was asked how he felt about the Padres...

Baseball is dead? Nah. Over the weekend the MLB set a record for the largest one-day crowd total since 2019. Dallas is crediting the A's even though everyone at the Coliseum were Giants fans. Jared gets a tweet saying that he's everything that's wrong with America and we give our takes on whether that's true. The Mets took four of five from the Braves and we're getting Joey's live reaction to his...

Juan Soto got traded to the San Diego Padres along with basically everyone else who was on the trade block. The Padres are STACKED with superstars which begs the question does their lineup potentially fuck more than the Braves? Dallas thinks Josh Bell shouldn't have been at the introductory press conference because he was stealing shine from Soto. Joey is also formally accusing the Padres owner of...

The trade deadline is tomorrow and so far it has been pretty uneventful on the trade market, until now! We have multiple trades break during today's episode and we're reacting live to the news, including the Brewers shockingly moving Josh Hader to the Padres. Jared talks about how he almost broke the Luis Castillo trade until Passan swiped it from him. Juan Soto has yet to be dealt so we're power...

The deadline is less than a week away and there are still a couple of teams on the fence. We talk about who should be buyers and who should be sellers. The Giants are falling apart and are definitely looking like sellers. Is Joc going to be on the move again? News about Mike Trout having a rare back condition came out this week and we talk about if it's really as serious as it seemed when the repo...

Congrats to Dallas Braden who just had his third baby girl, proving that he is very much not for the boys. We dive into the Juan Soto situation and explore some potential destinations for him and what a package might look like. The deadline is approaching so we’re looking at each team in the bubble and trying to figure out if they’re buyers or sellers. Dallas and Joey also go in on the Boston Red...

We're recording tonight after the All-Star Game and we're STILL in LA. Joey was the only one who went to the game tonight which was fine with Jared because he didn't want to do the seven-mile hike and 40 flights of stairs that it takes to get into Dodger Stadium. It worked out though because as we discuss, this was a pretty cool game to watch on TV. The MLB debuted a few different new quirks like...

Dallas deserves credit for nailing his prediction for the Mets/Braves series this past week down to the result of each game. Joey's mad that people think the Mets are the clear NL East favorite now. Jared absolutely goes IN on Jameson Taillon for first unfollowing him on Twitter and now Instagram which he claims is a lot more personal. The Mariners have a 55% chance to make the playoffs after winn...

We're in LA for the All-Star Game but you wouldn't know it's here from walking the streets. We saw maybe one Shohei poster at the airport, but it's okay because we're bringing the energy. The Home Run Derby field was announced and boy is this going to be a fun one. Albert Pujols is of course only participating to check the final box of his illustrious career: joining the prestigious list of player...

The Braves are now a game and a half back of the Mets after being 10 games back in early June. They face off for a three-game set starting tonight and we're giving predictions on how we think the series will go. The Orioles are red-hot and now have the same record as the Guardians. We discuss a scenario in which all five AL East teams have a better record than the division winner in the AL Central...

Jared leads off the show with a MAJOR announcement that you're not going to want to miss. Probably the biggest announcement he's ever made since starting his old podcasts. Jared and Jake were at Sunday Night Baseball and got a fair amount of screen time between Jared's DraftKings commercial and Jake's mediocre seats. We talk about Shohei Ohtani more than doubling the Marlins' average attendance wh...
