Unserious Baseball: The Podcast

The Braves could probably walk up to the plate with a tennis racket and still strike out, but such is life no?

Introducing a new segment where we draft a team for the first month of the season and see who has the best team when it's all said and done. By the time you read this, baseball will be just one sleep away!

Picking our various awards for the 2025 season, recapping game 1 of the Tokyo Series and so much more!

BREAKING: Hot Takes Only has shifted focus to baseball full-time, but you know we're bringing the same shenanigans with us to a new brand. MLB season is almost here folks!

Nice

The Los Angeles Dodgers are your 2024 World Series Champions. In a wild game becoming of champions, the Dodgers got punched in the mouth but hung around long enough for their opponents to stumble and now have their second title in the last 5 seasons.

Freddie Freeman joined Kirk Gibson in Dodger folklore, delivering the first walk off grand slam in World Series history. Ohtani's injury looms large as the series shifts to The Bronx - time for Judge and the Bombers to respond?

A true matchup for the ages in the World Series as the Dodgers face the Yankees in the fall classic! Plus, a recap of how the Mets and Guardians came up short and is a lack of spending truly the culprit for small market teams?

The gift that is the Padres and the Dodgers just keeps on giving, with a decisive game 5 on tap for Friday night from Chavez Ravine. Plus, Francisco Lindor launches a grand slam to send the Mets to the NLCS. From 0-5 to OMG, the Grimace-mania Mets are on the cusp of one of the greatest, most unbelievably, thoroughly inconceivable sports stories of all time. And the Gritty Tigers do it again - and...

We were joined by actor and huge Mariner fan Rhys Hyatt to break down everything Mariners and figure out just what went wrong and how to move forward in Seattle. Plus, a breakdown of the Wild Card round so far with just one game left. @hto_pod on Twitter / X

Buster Posey is the new Giants President of Baseball Ops. What else does he need to do to get the Giants back on top? Plus, a broader look at the postseason picture and our official picks for the playoffs.

Postseason baseball will be back before you know it, so we took a look around the league and broke down all the biggest storylines to get you ready for October. Full preview coming soon!

Shohei Ohtani joined the 50/50 club as the inaugural member and what a way to do it. SIX hits, three home runs, two steals and TEN (!!!) RBIs. The man is not human, and he continues to wow us even when we think we've seen it all.

After four games in Philly this weekend, the Mets can put the Braves to bed for good in 2024 with a series win in Atlanta next week. By the next time we record, we may already know who's going to be the third NL Wild Card and it's [probably] not Atlanta! Plus, the Brewers and Yankees punch their tickets to October and the Guardians might just have it this year?

Life always gets in the way but for the first time in four and a half months, the boys are back!!!

Baseball is fun! And after a month of play, we can confirm as much. As we head into May, we take a look back at the exciting season so far, the Baby Birds in Baltimore, George Kirby and the Mariners' unhittable pitching and so much more!

We told ourselves to keep it concise...and ended up with a 3 hour podcast. That's how much stuff we had to cover in our yearly preview episode but I promise it's worth it!

College Football's four team playoff era is over, and a new era begins now. Michigan reigns supreme, but is Harbaugh among the upper echelon of coaches in the 2000s? Plus a quick look at baseball's updated standings, free agency updates and so much more!

An episode so massive we had to cut it in half! In this segment, we break down the MLB offseason as a whole and talk Dodgers, the end of the 'Yankee aura,' the Braves going all in and so much more! Plus, we had to include our usual Hot Takes segment - as we do. Be sure to also check out the CFP National Championship game preview in part of the episode!

Another layoff in the books and we're back at it, this time with a preview of the CFP National Championship Game and the state of College Football as a whole. Split up into 2 parts, we talk MLB Hot Stove and all things Dodgers/Yankees/Braves/baseball in general - be sure not to miss that part!

Baseball lost a beloved owner who, hopefully, left the blueprint for how owners should operate - with the fullest intent to win and win now. Plus, a look at the new CFP rankings (spoiler: Dawgs still Dawgs) and whether or not programs like Alabama have staying power long after the likes of Saban retire.

Bryce Harper is a bad dude but apparently the only people who didn't quite get that memo were the Braves. Everyone else knows you just...you can't throw a cookie to Harper. Ever. Oh also, the format isn't the problem and the World Series was fun as hell. So much fun, I'm already impatient about when the next season is gonna start.

BIG 12, PAC 12, SEC, ACC, BIG 10...and none of them will exist in the same form next year. Teams are jumping from conference to conference, leaving us college ball fans very little to do but just shrug our shoulders and try to enjoy it for what it is. It's a truly unmatched tradition, especially in places like the South, but it may be unrecognizable before we know it. Part 2 of our three part...

Gone for so long we had to divide our latest episode into not one, not two, but THREE parts! In part 1, we dive into the ins and outs of the LIV Golf-PGA TOUR merger, and the general state of golf as a whole. Who knows what the sport looks like 13 months from now (the length of our hiatus), but rest assured we will likely be very very wrong.
