Episodes

#244: Sox Got a Chance? 07.07.2026

Probably not, but MATHEMATICALLY, they do! Plus, team updates, All Stars and World Cup.

#243: Sweep! Now What? 29.06.2026

Don’t get TOO excited Sox fans! But should Yankee fans get THAT nervous? Maybe. Plus, John sings the praises of AUBURN UNIVERSITY.

#242: Fenway Fever!?! 19.06.2026

The Sox are the worst home team in baseball, but Fenway has been rocking! It hasn’t been the pink hats or the Iowa tourists. It’s been the Scotsmen! John has seen it firsthand. Also, the Yankees have been ridiculous without judge, and the Sox may be sellers, but might have nothing to sell. Great episode!

#241: All Rise, All Fall 05.06.2026

We discuss this weekend's Yankees and Red Sox series at Yankee Stadium, Brayan Bello getting sent down after another miserable start, and with Aaron Judge going down for who knows how long, how can the Yankees win without their Captain?!

#240: Buncha Issues 27.05.2026

Tatis Jr and his lost millions, and will Wander get back to MLB? Abner Uribe’s embarrassment. Did Taylor loan Kelce millions? Oh, and we check in on our teams.

#239: Why Ildemaro Vargas Matters 18.05.2026

The Sox seem so lifeless. The Yanks embarrassed by Subway. But make sure to stay to the end for the Vargas talk and an insider’s view of the ABS system.

#238: Au Revoir John Sterling 05.05.2026

Two lifelong Yankee fans reflect on the legendary Yankee announcer — from steak dinners with him, to piping his voice into the living room. And the Red Sox guy chimes in, too.

Cora and a Meltdown 28.04.2026

FINALLY a chance to break down the mess that is the Red Sox. Conclusions may surprise you. AND John has a meltdown (epic!) over Fenway Park.

236: BIG Series 21.04.2026

Yup, it’s Yankees-Red Sox. Predictions and the ONE thing Brian is worried about. Oh, and Mike Trout to New York.

#235: Check Ups 13.04.2026

The Yankees aren’t as good as we thought, and maybe, the Sox aren’t as bad? And has parity become a part of baseball (outside of the Dodgers of course)?

#234: Tale of Two Cities 06.04.2026

The Yankees are at the top. The Sox at the bottom. And John is STILL grumpy. We talk Opening Day, ABS, big contracts for minor leaguers and more.

#233: Predictions! 23.03.2026

Division. Wild Card. World Series. MVP. We have it all, including (surprise) Brian ACTUALLY excited about the Sox!

#232: For Your Country 18.03.2026

Team USA fails to bring home the gold and should get used to second place. What needs to change and who can do it?!

#231: The WBC and Italians 12.03.2026

The WBC has been better than expected – – competitiveness, fun, TV ratings. And how about the Italians?! Certainly not because of the Americans. We’ll talk about how it may end up.

#230: Acronym Day With WBC and PED 05.03.2026

We set up for the WBC a talk about complicated pitching dynamics, and yes, somehow, John Means enters the conversation.

#229: Baseball, Pokémon and Politics 17.02.2026

A wide range of issues, from our feelings on spring training and the WBC to multi-million dollar cards and the dangers of working in the media.

#228: Dust Settles 03.02.2026

Pitchers/Catchers soon! We check in and chime in on WBC, Super Bowl and Olympics!!!

#227: Jim Penders 16.01.2026

The legendary UConn coach gives the inside scoop on a bunch, from paying players to his favorite one, not named George Springer. And of course, we ask him: Yanks or Sox?!?!

#226: Baseball Presents 23.12.2025

We update our teams, put Dodgers spending in perspective, and, of course, we share some classic holiday traditions.

#225: Thanksgiving Deals 26.11.2025

We talk turkey on some player moves (Tatis to NY?) and talk turkey about our best Thanksgiving memories as well.

#224: Awards, Gambling and ... JBJ 14.11.2025

We are witnessing some of the best talent EVER... but is the gambling sullying everything? And where might you see Jackie Bradley Jr next year? Surprise surprise.

#223: Epic! 03.11.2025

We root around the World Series for the nuggets others aren't talking about. The magic of Japanese pitchers and the irony of the low-salary guys being money for the Dodgers.

#222: Who Gets A Ring?! 25.10.2025

We give our World Series Predictions! Will Don Mattingly finally get a ring? We will also discuss Ring Stupidity and Gambling Stupidity!

In David vs Goliath, we are picking David! Plus, a little teaser into offseason plans and a tribute to The Gator.
