That Baseball Show

Happy 2026 (American) baseball season TBS Nation! We ran out to grab some smokes but unlike your dad we came back (eventually). Here for your listening pleasure is the live show we recorded at the 2026 Treefort Music Festival as part of Podfort. Jimmy got to pick the movie and he chose 2001's "Summer Catch", which we can all agree was a mistake. But we had fun talking about it all the same!  Liste...

We know there's lots to talk about TBS Nation, but we did just get out first In-N-Out and that's a big deal! We get to that eventually, but host Emeritus Cody Fitch and Matt first cover Shohei's contract (the other stuff will be on an episode coming soon!), The sorrow of the A's, and the Mariners Mariners-ing.  Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about X-ile In Twitville, The Myspac...

A belated happy Mother's Day to those who observe! Also happy Father's Day, although that didn't make it on the episode since we recorded over a month ago. This one got away from us, hit "play" and I'll tell you all about it. You'll also catch Ryan and Matt talk about rain delays, spend way too much time talking about gambling, and dunk on some "meh" City Connects.  Listen to this episode if you w...

Here is the audio from our live show at the 2023 Treefort Music Festival! Listen to Matt and Jimmy talk about perhaps the worst $15 Matt ever spent as they discuss, debate and deride the 2005 cinematic mistake that was Fever Pitch. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and a special thank you to TMF and Alisha, Derek and Brett at Podfort for having us! Give us a listen and make sure you subscribe y...

Happy Opening Week, TBS Nation! Matt had the opportunity a while back to chat w/Anna from The Baseball Bucket List, another excellent baseball pod that you should subscribe to and put into your earholes! Here is the episode TBB just released, dropped into our feed so you won't miss it. Don't miss another one- check out baseballbucketlist.com to create a profile along with your own personal bucket...

Listen. Matt and Ryan will get to the rest of the conversation about the new rule changes for MLB this year. But first, we gotta pants some Jeopardy! nerds. We explore the vibes that are baseball and maybe contradict ourselves (a little) as we explore a shift-less American game. We even touch on the World Baseball Classic! Ol' Babe made it here, we're all sure that you will.  Listen to this episod...

Guest host Ryan McEachern just flew back from spring training and boy, are his arms tired! No really, he basically had to flap his non-existent wings to get himself there. He tells us all about his harrowing trip to AZ and we start (but do not finish!) diving into MLB's rule changes.  Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Matt's Desert Knowledge, Hertz Plane Rentals, and It's A...

This episode is pretty much a done deal, TBS Nation, provided nothing silly happens like an old foot injury giving a bunch of people mesothelioma or anything. And that almost never happens! Matt and Ryan dive into one off-season move so big it happened a few times, and another that was too long coming.  Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Arson Judge's Oddly Shaped Feet, The P...

It sure is great to get out of cryostasis just in time to announce our new crypto venture! This is a good time for that, right? We've been asleep, we don't know. Matt and Ryan thaw out while covering the 2022 postseason that was, the issue with "championships or bust", and the Houston Problem. And oh yeah, the Mets!  Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about That Baseball Coin, Matt...

The league is a-drip with those jerseys people love to hate and/or love. Maybe it's okay if they're just okay? Matt and Ryan ponder this and also consider the quantum state of the Mets and Angels and lace up a farewell to Joe Girardi but not Joe Maddon, as he was fired after we recorded. Shrug emoji.  Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Shorts For All Seasons, Barenaked Pedroi...

If friend of the podcast and founder/host of the McEachern Podcast Network is going to be subbing as co-host on this show, Matt has a few questions(?) for him. We also discuss Miggy and the nature of blowouts/mercy kills in The Show.  Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Dickcoin To The Moon, A Big Ball of Garbage, and Pulling the Catcher. Also, baseball. @ThatBBShow and leave...

Jimmy and Matt dive deep into baseball's long and weird history for this episode recorded LIVE at the Treefort Music Festival in downtown Boise, Idaho! We bring back our beloved segment Better Know An Old-Timey Baseball Player and learn the finer points of dealing coke in a 1970's clubhouse. Thank you to TMF for having us and thank you for joining us, new fans! Come say hi @ThatBBShow on Twitter a...

A new episode? It's a St. Lockout's Day Miracle! Just as we were about to retire, MLB has dragged us back in. Jimmy and Matt shake off the rust by playing WARdle (bit or segment?) and discuss how/why/when American major league baseball is happening this year. OH YEAH! Listen to this episdoe if you want to hear us talk about Greta Garbling, Ronn Weasley, and Metaphysical Deadlines. Also, baseball....

No, TBS Nation, this isn't Heaven. But maybe don't stand too close to home plate while you listen to Jimmy try to remember his way through a certain movie he's never seen. We also discuss the evolution of Cleveland team names and enjoy some old-timey players! Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about The Birth of Corn Syrup, Naps for Infants, Petty No-Hitter Breakups, and the Housto...

To tame these mean streets, it'll take more bullets than this hard-boiled cop has with which to shoot fires. Listen to him avenge his partner while Jimmy and Matt cover Spider Tack, the blowful D-Backs, and Hyped Boys doing Hype Things. OR YOU'RE OFF THE CASE. Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Scott Stapp Redux, The Ecstasy of Vladito, and The Angriest Self-Pantsing. Also, b...

We realize by the time this comes out this topic will have had its moment in the sun, but can we as a nation take some time to look back on some TERRIBLE hats? Can we also discuss the plethora of no-hitters and play our favorite game, Shut Up, Old Man? We can't? Well, that's the episode, so...suck eggs, I guess!  Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Juicy Lucy Parlors, Worm Sil...

Happy 2021 MLB season, friends! We hope you like our tagline for it, as well as our covering of extra innings/ghost runners, Atlanta/NYM shenanigans, Bauer's balls, and corporate wokeness. We also dive deep into antitrust! Did we mention we consider this a funny show?    Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about The Birds and The Bats, Pity Powerups, The Hitler Clause, Too Many Crim...

Hello TBS Nation! The pandemic, stubbornly clutching onto to our country and world as it has done for the past year, made our yearly Treefort Music Fest live show quite impossible. But we took a stab at a Zoom show joined by our special guest Ryan McEachern of the McEachern Podcast Network! We take a look at the 2021 season to come, make our predictions, and talk about the weird stuff in our respe...

We're back dear listeners, with a reminder that what happens at the weird old man club doesn't always stay at the weird old man club. Fix yourself a Dapper Joseph and hear us tackle the latest hot MLB Twitter goss and dive deep into MiLB contraction!  Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Chukar Fights, Fedora Lines, and Rogue Volcanoes. Also, baseball. @ThatBBShow on Twitter an...

Put on your finest finery and walk with us down the TBSBBHOF red carpet as we celebrate one of the greatest ever to play the game! We try to tackle the question of why the HOF is such a drag- we also play "Are They Trying?" w/the 2021 hot stove season and write a new Saw movie.  Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Out of Character (Clauses), Moneybranding, and The Rays Made Us...

What if I told you that a baseball team would defy the odds, silence the critics and reward the faithful by winning as many games as they lose? Listen as we explore this heroic tale as well as the Dodgers dongfest and the Astros' heel turn. Jimmy also makes a case for NY and we say goodbye to several legends.  Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Joc Sexpest, Pulling A Brennama...

We don't know about you TBS Nation, but the very thought of our favorite players playing well for another team...awakens...something within us. Join us as we explore those dark fantasies, ponder baseball in actual Hell and make a few Joe Kelly faces along the way.  Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Permea-bubbles, Rob Everymanfred, Bieber Fever, and The Audacity of Homers. A...

The 2020 MLB season is just about in the books (probably) and what a season it was, TBS Nation! Perfect time for us to drop our 2020 season preview joined by Ryan McEachern of the McEachern Podcast Network. Jimmy and Matt also talk about the Marlins, COVID and first pitch jealousies.  Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about The River Shityx, Flattening the Curve(ball), Non-Consens...

Happy Opening Day we suppose, Wastelanders! The world of baseball is very different from the one we knew before we emerged from our shelters- listen to us cover the 2021 rule changes & re-imagine the MLB mobile app w/special guest Ryan McEachern of the McEachern Podcast Network (also maybe stay in your shelters?). This ep ran long so we will release the division outlook/predictions as a BONUS Part...

Trust us, we'd prefer (ok, *Matt* would prefer) to talk AC:NH all day but Jimmy did a lot of work to breakdown the current state of negotiations between the players and the owners/league about the 2020 season. So we dive deep into the bad faith and absurdity that prevails in American pro ball right now! Listen to this episode if you want us to talk about Baby Nut Allyship, Gushing For Justice, the...
