Bat Flips And Nerds Bat Flips & Nerds

Something different today - an all-star interviewee line-up as Doug Glanville, Felix White, Tony Clark, Dave Dombrowski and Shane Victorino share their reflections of the London Series and its future.

Tom, John and Darius reflect on the first game of London Series 24 as the Phillies crush the Mets in the London Stadium.

Tom, John and Darius preview day one and chat about the atmosphere in the stadium and at the workout day. They are joined for a chat by Mets Saturday starter Sean Manaea.

It's London Series week!

To kick off our coverage we have a brilliant preview with the awesome Dave Shaw of UK Phillies and Jo Lenton of Mets in the UK.

We get into their fierce on-field rivalry and off-field camaraderie, their big plans for the week and a look at baseball's most in-form team and, errr... the Mets!

Enjoy!

And see you at the London Stadium.

Ben, Rob and Gav chat through a few of the biggest talking points in the world of baseball: the Mets / Jorge Lopez meltdown, the retirement of umpiring dynamo Angel Hernandez and an unfortunate season-ending injury to Ronald Acuna Jr.

They then turn their attention to the upcoming London Series, chatting through the activations and events taking place around the baseball over the weekend and doling out some advice based on past experience.

Legendary baseball laureate Joe Posnanski joins us to celebrate the UK launch of his mighty tome 'Why We Love Baseball', chewing on everything from the relationship between baseball and history, the great Buck O'Neill and even Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch!

'Why We Love Baseball' is out in the UK now, with a new section and intro specially produced for British readers.
