Baseball is a game of tradition. It has remained largely unchanged for over 100 years, and it's easy to think that the players on the field are just as traditional as the game itself. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Today's game is filled with some of the most interesting and exciting personalities in the history of baseball. On-field, off-field and everything in between, enjoy a conversation among baseball people, and get to know the players and the game you already thought you knew.

Customer Reviews
not your typical sports podcast
I know I’m late to the show, but I really love your podcast and I hope you’re able to continue making episodes! I was looking for a baseball podcast where I could get to know the players, not just an analysis of the game or broadcaster talk. I think it helps fans to be more invested in the game and also have more empathy for everyone involved. I also really enjoyed the episode with your wife and hearing her perspective. Welcome to the Braves!!
Talking negatively about the South
On the Strider episode, both players (born in the south and playing for a team with a very rural, southern fan base) discuss the south in a negative way. Not fun to listen to.
Used to be good
Podcast used to be good until McHugh started getting super political with his “progressive” liberal views and talking about how tough it is making lots of money. More like athlete privilege, average people can’t relate to that because they make a fraction of that. I get it’s his podcast so he can share whatever views he wants but don’t act like y’all have the most difficult lives in the world.
