David
Love the show keep it up !
Great Podcast for all sports fans!
Hey David. Thanks for always covering a variety of topics. My question is do minor league baseball teams create their schedule based on major league schedules. An example is the Atlanta Braves and Gwinnett Stripers. The AAA affiliate is about 45ish min away. Wouldn’t the minor league team benefit from scheduling home games when the Braves are away?
Thanks

Usually, I love the show
I really like the daily show, despite levels always being off. However, these live shows from the tour are making me cringe. They feel sort of unhinged.
