Today we're taking a look at playoff standings and figuring out the new playoff format once and for all. We're talking about teams on the bubble in the NL and Joey thinks you cannot count the Padres in. We get into baseball nerd discussion and admit that if you're watching as much baseball as us you have to be a nerd; it's just about being a self-aware nerd. We have some new MLB rules as it pertains to pitch-clock and shifting and we're diving into how this will affect the game next year and in ...

We’re also checking in on the playoff picture and taking a look at where everyone stands in their division/wild card races. The Braves have been the best team in baseball for 3+ months and find themselves neck and neck with the Mets for first place in the NL East. Meanwhile, the Mets seemingly have one more legit series left this year and it’s against the Braves. It looked like the AL R...

It’s September 1st and we’re taking a look at where we stand in the 2022 MLB season. We’re talking division leaders, wild card spots, teams on the bubble, MVP discussions, and a lot more. Will the Guardians hang onto their one-game lead in the AL Central? Will the Yankees continue their abysmal second half and choke away a 15.5 game lead in the AL East? Will the Mariners make the playoffs and win the World Series? We're answering all these questions on today's pod. Timmy Trumpet was at Citi Fiel...

We open up today’s episode talking about Adam Wainwright’s comments on superstition in baseball. Should we be having more players mic’d up during broadcasts?

Jared has joined forces with his new best friend Alek Manoah in an effort to take down Gerrit Cole after meeting him in Boston this morning. Joey and Jared are arguing whether it was Cole or Judge who fired up the boys to help the Yankees sweep the Subway Series. Fernando Tatís Jr. has publicly apologized. We're breaking down the audio and deciding whether it's sincere and if we believe him. Oneil Cruz hit a ball 122.4 mph which is the highest recorded exit velocity in the Statcast era. The 2023...

We’re back with Episode 39 and jared wants to clarify our baseball movie discussion from last episode. Dallas dressed as Freddie Mercury and people got mad at Jared for bullying him. The footage from Marcell Ozuna’s DUI arrest was released and we’re breaking down his effort to try and use his name to get let off easy. We react to the audio of the Braves radio broadcast introducing Ozuna as “Ozuna from the Braves.” The Phillies blew three leads in one game and the broadcast sounded like they want...

Marcell Ozuna was busted for a DUI which has put the Braves in a really tough spot with three years left on his contract. We talk about his prior history and whether we'll see him in the MLB again. Paul Goldschmidt might be NL MVP if the season ended today and one of the only guys that might keep him out of it is on his own team. The Braves announced a contract extension with Michael Harris and we talk about the continued success of the Braves front office in signing young studs to long-term tea...

In shocking news, Fernando Tatis Jr. has been suspended 80 games for testing positive for steroids and will miss the rest of the season.

This leads to further discussion about steroid use among former and current players and how it affected the rest of their careers. Jared threw out the first pitch at Fenway on Sunday Night B...

It's Thursday all day baby! We're taking a look at some of the MLB matchups this weekend and boy are there some juicy ones.

Baseball is dead? Nah. Over the weekend the MLB set a record for the largest one-day crowd total since 2019. Dallas is crediting the A's even though everyone at the Coliseum were Giants fans. Jared gets a tweet saying that he's everything that's wrong with America and we give our takes on whether that's true. The Mets took four of five from the Braves and we're getting Joey's live reaction to his division hopes going down the drain. They also caught the Yankees in the standings, who haven't won ...

Juan Soto got traded to the San Diego Padres along with basically everyone else who was on the trade block. The Padres are STACKED with superstars which begs the question does their lineup potentially fuck more than the Braves? Dallas thinks Josh Bell shouldn't have been at the introductory press conference because he was stealing shine from Soto. Joey is also formally accusing the Padres owner of selling drugs to fund the team. Swinging Friar might be the worst mascot name in sports and we deba...

The trade deadline is tomorrow and so far it has been pretty uneventful on the trade market, until now!

The deadline is less than a week away and there are still a couple of teams on the fence. We talk about who should be buyers and who should be sellers. The Giants are falling apart and are definitely looking like sellers. Is Joc going to be on the move again? News about Mike Trout having a rare back condition came out this week and we talk about if it's really as serious as it seemed when the reports came out. Benintendi was traded to the Yankees last night as if Red Sox fans needed any more dev...

We're recording tonight after the All-Star Game and we're STILL in LA. Joey was the only one who went to the game tonight which was fine with Jared because he didn't want to do the seven-mile hike and 40 flights of stairs that it takes to get into Dodger Stadium. It worked out though because as we discuss, this was a pretty cool game to watch on TV. The MLB debuted a few different new quirks like having two players mic'd up at the same time and umpire cams. We talk about whether this should beco...

Dallas deserves credit for nailing his prediction for the Mets/Braves series this past week down to the result of each game. Joey's mad that people think the Mets are the clear NL East favorite now. Jared absolutely goes IN on Jameson Taillon for first unfollowing him on Twitter and now Instagram which he claims is a lot more personal. The Mariners have a 55% chance to make the playoffs after winning 11 straight and we're talking about if America's team is back. The Orioles have won 10 straight ...

We're in LA for the All-Star Game but you wouldn't know it's here from walking the streets. We saw maybe one Shohei poster at the airport, but it's okay because we're bringing the energy. The Home Run Derby field was announced and boy is this going to be a fun one. Albert Pujols is of course only participating to check the final box of his illustrious career: joining the prestigious list of players with five Home Run Derby appearances.

The Braves are now a game and a half back of the Mets after being 10 games back in early June. They face off for a three-game set starting tonight and we're giving predictions on how we think the series will go. The Orioles are red-hot and now have the same record as the Guardians. We discuss a scenario in which all five AL East teams have a better record than the division winner in the AL Central.

Jared leads off the show with a MAJOR announcement that you're not going to want to miss. Probably the biggest announcement he's ever made since starting his old podcasts. Jared and Jake were at Sunday Night Baseball and got a fair amount of screen time between Jared's DraftKings commercial and Jake's mediocre seats.

Speaking of the Angels, the Baltimore Orioles now have a better record than them which gets us talking about how the entire AL East should make the playoffs and no one from the AL Central should be allowed in. Shohei hasn't allowed an earned run since June 9th and a lot of people are calling him the best athlete in the world, but he's still extremely underrated. Kyle Schwarber has been mashing and the Phillies are now tied for a playoff spot. We wrap up the show talking about the debate on who s...

We kick off the show talking about content plans in LA for the All-Star Game and some big-name potential interviews that may be in the works including one with Jared's white whale. Chris Sale took his frustrations out on a clubhouse TV in Triple-A Worcester and a lot of people on the internet were not pleased. We had a different opinion. We also reminisce back on some of Dallas' blowups back in the day. Pete Alonso had one tough week and Joey thinks he sucks now. He also wants to trade everyone ...

Jared, Dallas, Joey, and Jake are going to the All-Star game and talk about their plans for outfits. Aaron Judge is a Top-5 ASG vote getter but Jared thinks some other players deserve that title. Mr. Peña was looking like the odds-on favorite for Rookie of the Year about a month ago, but JRod may have just overtaken his spot. The Yankees are apparently in heavy pursuit of Frankie Montas which would be real tough for A's fans on top of having the worst record in the league. Robbie Ray has been de...

It was an eventful weekend in MLB lead by a huge brawl in Anaheim. Jared and Dallas are breaking down who caused it, who was in the right, and who was in the wrong. Clayton Kershaw made comments about Freddie Freeman’s return to Atlanta that raised some questions about whether his teammates think he needs to move on from his former team. The Yankees got no-hit by the Astros and followed it up with a Judge walk-off homer the next day. They shouldn’t take it for granted either because according to...

This dude dunks on Babe Ruth. This leads to a discussion about whether Ohtani should win MVP every year for the rest of his career and how you are supposed to weigh his value against other players.

Jerer Encarnación was called up to the Marlins and hit a grand slam for his first career hit in the league.
