Episodes

#145: Predictions! 28.03.2024

As the season begins, we pick the winners ... and losers. Also, some insight into the Shohei betting saga.

#144: LFG! 20.03.2024

We revisit the insane 4-year anniversary of the lockdown and how the podcast started. For baseball, it's all about Yankee injuries and why Trevor Bauer and Jordan Montgomery aren't signed in MLB.

#143: Mookie, Bello and Bananas 11.03.2024

We go everywhere and even bring in presidential politics. And always a plus, John gets MAD.

#142: The Devers Is In The Details 22.02.2024

What to make of Rafael Devers calling out the Sox. Plus, calling out Aaron Judge's toe and the whole dustup over the new uniforms.

#141: Time for Baseball 14.02.2024

The Super Bowl is done, and now it's time for baseball. We talk everything from Trevor Bauer to the, perhaps, unspoken goal of Theo Epstein's return to Boston.

#140: Ray Fagnant Part Deux 19.01.2024

What's it like to be a scout post Moneyball? Catch the Home Run Derby at Fenway? Plus, some fun intel on the prospects who got away.

#139: Ray Fagnant Part I 10.01.2024

He's been a Red Sox scout for over 30 years. We had so much to fodder, we split into two episodes. In the first, his backstory, the post Money Ball world and more stories than you can shake a stick at.

#138: Bye Bye 2023 28.12.2023

We put a ribbon on the year and talk relegation in baseball, and John has an OUTRAGEOUS prediction relating to Shohei Ohtani. 

#137: HAPPY HOLLYWOODAYS 22.12.2023

It's the holiday season, and BIG money is being spent in Hollywood, but are the Dodgers mortgaging their future? After parting with pitching to land Soto, do the Yanks have enough to pull off another needed trade?  Plus, why the Red Sox must do something to send a message.

#136: Verdugo Never in Stripes? 06.12.2023

Why Alex Verdugo may never play in New York and Juan Soto is the reason. Also, Shohei is being kinda brutal.

#135: BJ Finnell 21.11.2023

The name sounds like a pesky second baseman for the Twins. But he's an ex-sports junkie who happened to hire both John and Brian. Unfortunately for Brian, and fortunately for John, he's a Yankee fan. Some great stories from a baseball fan lifer.

#134: Cash, Tips, and Rants 17.11.2023

Brian Cashman making his life more difficult or easier? Plus, we rant on everything from tickets to tips. We're grumpy so you don't have to be!

#133: The Guy 03.11.2023

Hear about the ex-convict who got a ring? Brian had NO IDEA. More on Craig Breslow and handicapping landing spot for Ohtani. Enjoy!

#132: Mad Dog and Glory 25.10.2023

Chris "Mad Dog" Russo won't retire but man, did he step in it by predicting a guaranteed Phillies win. Craig Breslow a great hire? And our WS picks.

#131: Picks, Harper, and a Blaze of Glory 13.10.2023

We make our pics for the next round. Bryce Harper's genius and STICK AROUND for the end -- great conversation on mental health.

#130: Playoff Edition 03.10.2023

We make our picks, Yanks/Sox wrap, Wakefield goodbye, retirees and more.

#129: Castellanos' Big Balls 22.09.2023

Listen and find out.... Sox and Yankees are done, so we have a lot of fun with other stuff. First pitches. Montreal. And yes, Castellanos.

#128: Bloom and Prison 15.09.2023

Chaim is gone.  Who's Next? Plus we talk about the keys to a successful prison escape.

#127: Martian Magic 07.09.2023

So you're sayin' we've got a chance! Yankees in the mix? We talk incredible rookie stories and Brian's review of Dodger Stadium and its $20 beers.

#126: The Martian Has Landed 31.08.2023

The Yankees season is a bust, but the youth invasion can save it. The last month will be wild. Which teams are we picking to be playoff bound. Plus a special guest Co-Host!

#125: Loving Last.......Place 25.08.2023

Brian doesn't care if Sox make the playoffs. Just make sure the Yankees finish last. Plus, would you still pay Shohei? And a good vacation story as a bonus!

#124: Fire? But Hire Who? 18.08.2023

Big Yankees-Sox weekend but all the talk is Boone and Cashman. Fire them? Probably. But who gets those jobs?!?! We throw some spaghetti at the proverbial baseball wall.

#123: Fights and Rants 08.08.2023

The Orioles announcer suspension, of course, is a joke. But more importantly, it speaks to larger issues of independence. Oh, and John has an epic Yankees rant. It's perfect.

#122: Judging Domingo and Oddly Pleased With Deadline 03.08.2023

There is WAY more than meets the eye with Domingo German. Also, will people coming back from injury be enough? Surprising optimism from at least one of us. Can you guess who?

#121: On The Road 28.07.2023

John's on a baseball trip and got lucky in Philly. Brian finally tries to turn positive -- especially with a lot of returning players -- and we both prepare for Aaron Judge's return.
