    Bad Bunt Ep.3 NL Season Intro

    In this episode, we take a comprehensive look at the National League, breaking down each team’s roster from top to bottom. We begin with the lineups, analyzing the batting orders for all 15 teams. From the heavy-hitting superstars to the under-the-radar on-base machines, we highlight the key contributors, potential breakout players, and lineup strategies. We also discuss offseason acquisitions and how they could impact team chemistry and offensive production. Next, we shift our focus to the pitching staffs, starting with the rotations. We evaluate each team’s starting five, highlighting the frontline aces, innings-eaters, and back-end starters. Injury concerns, durability, and potential call-ups from the minors are all on the table. The bullpen breakdown follows, where we examine closers, setup specialists, and middle relievers. We discuss bullpen depth, strikeout potential, and which teams have the most reliable late-inning arms. The podcast also dives into the minor leagues, providing insight into the organizational depth across the NL. We spotlight top prospects, breaking down their ETA (estimated time of arrival) and the potential impact they could have at the major league level. The conversation also covers which farm systems are primed to produce difference-makers and how that depth could influence midseason trades or September call-ups. Finally, we close the episode with our division predictions. In the NL East, we assess whether the Braves can maintain their dominance or if the Phillies, Mets, or even the Marlins can make a run. Moving to the NL Central, we debate whether the Brewers or Cubs have the upper hand or if the Reds’ young core can break through. Out West, we break down whether the Dodgers’ juggernaut roster can continue to rule the NL West, or if the Padres and Giants can challenge for the crown. We also share our picks for the Wild Card spots, pointing out sleeper teams that could make a late-season push. To wrap it up, we offer our bold predictions for individual awards, including MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year candidates. We highlight the rising stars whose performances could increase their baseball card value, making them names to watch for collectors and investors alike. This episode is packed with analysis, predictions, and hot takes, giving you everything you need to know about the National League heading into the season.
