    Episode 152: I Was Rude About T*ylor Sw*ft

    Episode 151: You Can't Say Sausage to an Englishman

    Episode 150: The Chair Would Win

    Matthew and Toby welcome film critic and Mets fan Noah Gittell to the show — mostly to vent about the pitch clock, but also to serve up hasty takes on the young season, marvel at an elite minor league no-hitter, and discuss the glory of Little Big League and why baseball movies have seemingly disappeared from modern culture.
