Good pod
Ben you are good and pretty baseball smart. Alex does make better picks though! So go mariners and go Flippin bats
Please stop swearing
I have a 7 year old who is crazy about baseball and I’d love to let him listen with me, however, I never know when you’re about to start swearing. There’s no reason to swear. Just stop.
Love this pod
Ben is knowledgeable and entertaining. If you want a one stop baseball podcast - this is it. Keep it up!!
