That Baseball Show

Happy end of summer TBS Nation! We cover a lot of ground in this one, including more manager meltdowns, Verlander's expensive breakfast, Morales, Bautista, thrilling walk-offs, and the Washington fire (sale). Pledge drive tote bags sold separately!  Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Umpirical Evidence, Bird Resuscitation, In His Commissioner's Secret Service, Manny's Beautif...

Are you prepared for this new episode? Because we certainly were not, even more so than usual. And doubly unprepared for the most horrific MiLB mascot and worst umpiring we've ever seen. We also talk Adam Jones, Mike Trout, racist Twitter, and minor-league shenanigans if that's your thing. Come back when you're ready, we'll be here.    Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Irony...

Matt and Jimmy are back, and they have one question for you: Do you have any hats you aren't using? We find ourselves...short. While you check your stock, we'll be discussing The All-Star Game and HRD, Mike Matheny, a recent flurry of 19-run games and Mark Reynolds and his best week ever!  Listen to this podcast if you want to hear us talk about Digging Pointers, The Walk Home Derby, Judge Utley's...

Don't call it a comeback! Or do, it's been about a month I suppose. Jimmy gets an unexpected visit and all his open tabs make his computer explode! As far as baseball goes, we talk geese and other animals, this week in dirty slides, hard-hitting draft analysis, and those good good relievers.  Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Slapping Left, Sombreros Squared, Split-Finger Ho...

Matt and Jimmy chat with special guest and Mariners fan Zack Evans of the Genuine Wrestleboys podcast (@wrestleboyscast) and mostly discuss Ichiro, along with some gut-busting skits and sketches! These water-cooler cut-ups also talk Matt Harvey, Trevor Bauer, and give a shout-out to an excellent baseball non-profit. THIS EPISODE SORT OF CONTAINS INFINITY WAR SPOILERS.    Listen to this episode if...

Jimmy brings on friend of the show and Mets fan Mike Sharp (@Sharp208) to pinch-hit for Matt. Mike was recording from inside a running dishwasher so his audio isn't the best, apologies in advance. They chat Otani, bring some searing triple play/cycle hot takes, and talk basebrawls and also cover Mike's stupid team. OR ARE THEY?    Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Vampire Cr...

Jimmy is back on the mic this week along with our pal Ryan McEachern from the McEachern Podcast Network to take a look at the National League at this point in the young baseball season, including team previews, predictions and over/unders! We also discuss one of the most Padres things ever to Padre at a Padres game.  Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Old and Better Baseball,...

Poor Jimmy's brain needs a break after all those live shows so we brought back Podcast Host Emeritus Cody Fitch to help Matt break down the American League for the 2018 season including picks and over/unders. We also talk about the weird Jays/O's beef and touch briefly on the Phillies.  Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Jimmy's Beautiful Mind, Fake Beef, and Tampa Bay Reloca...

Matt and Jimmy discuss the important 1996 film "Ed" recorded in front of a LIVE audience at the Treefort Music Festival in beautiful downtown Boise, ID. Many thanks to Treefort, Storyfort, and the Owyhee Building for having us, and to the rest of you our humble apologies for taking you through this trainwreck of a major motion picture. Anyway enjoy, drop us a rate/review, and hit us up @ThatBBShow...

Podcast Krampus can suck eggs cuz we're back, and just in time to plug our live shows this month! Which is good b/c there ain't much else. We do talk more free agency, SoCal beef, the death of Yawkey Way and the baseball granny shot. Also that one episode of M*A*S*H where Klinger eats a car. It was a stretch this week, to be sure.    Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about The Lon...

Looks like the PC Patrol is at it again faithful listeners, this time targeting our team's dear mascot! In hour #2 the Turd and I will be taking your calls and pretending we know best how to handle sensitive racial issues as members of the most privileged class in recorded history. Later we'll discuss the Hall of Fame inductees and talk free agency owner collusion. Also traffic and weather! *Ch-ch...

Jimmy and Matt didn't have an opening for this episode- can they get a deal done while a podcast shutdown looms? Listen, dear subscriber, and find out! Also listen to us talk about Darryl Strawberry's logistically confusing confession, proposed pace of play rule changes, and the two of us argue re: the cinematic masterpiece "Hook". All this and more on "Baseball Crimes!"    Listen to this episode...

Keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon your HoF ballot- TBS is crashing into 2018 with...not much, actually. We chat about the frosty-cold hot stove, compare BBWAA Hall of Fame voting to the new Star Wars film, and Better Know an Old-Timey Ballplayer in dearly and recently departed Ms.(!) Mamie Johnson. We also talk about our New Years and resolutions thereof. CW: there is some yartz invol...

Hoo boy, come gather around this hot stove and warm your hands like a hobo! This off-season has seen its share of Yankees and losers. I mean, winners and Marlins. I mean, don't be the Marlins. We talk about the Otani and Stanton deals and expand our minds discussing the confusing Miami leadership. Go easy, it's strong stuff!  We also chat about player safety and give a brief nod to some new HoFers...

Welcome Nation! We totally forgot to tell all of our listeners that MLB put us on the red carpet for the Esurance Presents: The Esurance MLB Awards, Presented by Esurance! Enjoy our recorded live banter, including lots of HILARIOUS and timely baseball jokes to pass the time! We discuss said awards and compare our Cy Young/MVP picks, plus modify our Better Know an Old-Timey Ballplayer to include th...

WOOOOOOOO!! Bust out the bubbly TBS Nation cuz we won! Don't ask us what- the bit is pretty thin as it is. We wrap up the 2017 World Series, pontificate about the absurdity of ground rules in MLB ballparks, and discuss what a bonehead Yuli Gurriel is. Step into our glass elevator bound for our world of whimsy and being cool about bat flips, you lucky bench players you!  Listen to this episode if y...

You there! Boy! What day is it? The World Series, you say? Then a Merry World Series to all, and to all good playoffs! We discuss the high holy days of the baseball calendar and dig deep to compare the Dodgers and Astros to see who has the REAL edge. Also, wack old TV shows figure prominently in this one. God bless us, every one!  Listen to this episode if you'd like to hear us talk about M.I.K.E....

Quartz or feldspar? Porous or solid? What are the hot rock trends this fall season? Since we have no other interests at this point in the season, we answer all these questions and more on our hit rock tumbler-enthusiast podcast! We also (and actually) talk more playoffs, rooting interest for fans of eliminated teams, what's up with the Astros, and probably 10 minutes of Pleasantville or so.    Lis...

This latest episode, much like the end of the 2017 MLB season, is really...what's the word I'm thinking of...spunky! Really spunky. Plucky even, if you think about it. We go over our impressions of the AL Wild Card game we definitely watched before we recorded this ep, as well as our season over/under picks and Cy Young/MVP/division predictions. All in all a real gutsy episode.  Listen to this epi...

These are trying times, gang. Times like these separate the Milkshake Ducks from the Severus Snapes, and we're not sure which is preferable or even which is which. It's a topsy-turvy world where right is wrong, up is down, and the Twins are in the playoffs. We don't understand any of it either. We make a good sport of it by covering the Nacho Man Phenomenon, milestones and rad plays of the week, l...

We did it gang! The night we recorded this episode marked the 3rd anniversary of our podcast being a thing. Thanks for sticking around! We celebrate by exchanging some gifts relevant to our favorite goofs. We also talk about the insane AL Wild Card race, Shohei Otani, and weird things that happened to baseballs last week!    Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Too Many Pinedas...

Gang, I think we ordered too much schadenfreude. Like really, we couldn't possibly eat another bite. While you box the rest up, Jimmy and Matt will cover AppleWatchGate, The Dodgers shameful slide, the first team to clinch a playoff spot, Stanton's "real" HR record, and a very good rookie. Maybe TOO good. *eyes narrow*   Listen to this podcast if you want to hear us talk about Epilepsy Outbreaks,...

Happy Labor Dabor, y'all! We have a very serious question to ask not only all of you, but also our very special guest Mark Vashro (@mdvashro)- on a scale of 1-10, how good at baseball player are you? 3? Hitter? Very likely? We ask Mark the tough questions, plus we add another terrible first pitch to the pantheon, cover the legal drama of the St. Louis Rally Cat, #allumpsmatter and the NYY/DET braw...

We're proud to be the only baseball podcast with the guts to ask the tough questions like "was Captain Planet actually a bad show?" Seriously, about half of the podcast is about that. Sorry in advance. We welcome Podcast Host Emeritus back into the studio (just hush about that) to talk Chris Christie, a minor-league hitting streak coming to an end, Adrian Beltre, and his contemporaries on the all-...
