Customer Reviews
Excellent, but....
Lots of information. Well thought out and generally concise points on player performance and their future lineup opportunities, etc. But, are there any politically neutral fantasy baseball podcasts out there? Asking for a comrade.
New additions put the show over the top!
Adding Matt Williams & Jorge Montanez to an already good lineup puts CTB over the top.
They’re not just obviously knowledgeable, but funny and relatable as well.
An easy listen with plenty of takeaway.
Excellent show!
Good insights, analysis,the banter between them and their guests is great! No slow downs they keep moving.
Question: which is worse, waiting for someone to make a pick, or other teams auto picking?
Personally I like when teams (not myself) auto pick, I can plan my next pick(s) knowing I can definitely wait knowing who they are taking. 1 draft I got Degrom AND Cole at the turn!
