This is the best show you can watch. They’re so smart and take deep dives. I love how they have so many players on and you get to hear their opinions and thoughts. We need more of that in baseball.

I watch / listen to this show every day. Easily the most knowledgeable & in depth in the sport, from a financial side to the meat & potatoes of the on field product of the mlb. They consistently are interactive with fans. Scott, AJ, Kratz, Todd, + others do a phenomenal job. Great hardball questions when the time comes as well.
Awesome
