Sarah Langs

I know that Ms Langs has an awesome baseball mind but it’s getting harder and harder to understand her. I am empathetic that she has ALS, but one of the sequelae of ALS is voice changes. I am at the point that I skip through her section of the podcast which makes me sad because I use to love her takes. I appreciate what she’s dealing with, but I think her speech issues takes away from this podcast.

Bottom 3

As a Halos fan I’m offended at your omission. They’re horrible.

They should be ranked at least third worst.

Quality Podcast

This is a good quality baseball podcast that isn’t super nerdy and just gives a good overview. I’m thankful for it.
