We start with the unfortunate obesity numbers in Stockton, CA before we get into Jared and Dallas’s perspective on a long season for both of their favorite franchises. We also hear from Joey and Jayhay on their fan experience so far in 2023. We quickly recap the NL MVP race and talk about Max + the podcast being attacked by the ShoBaes. Then we get into the news of Shohei Ohtani getting surgery and his expected timeline to return to hitting and pitching. We also discuss how his rehab will affect where and how long he signs for in free agency. Other topics include a deeper dive into the Padres clubhouse drama and figuring out what they need to do to turn things around, Blake Snell’s NL Cy Young bid and his value in free agency, a check in on the standings, and more! Thanks for listening and we’ll see you tomorrow!

18/09/2023

The Orioles and Rays split four games over the weekend and BOTH teams clinched playoff berths. We’re talking about the insane turnaround for the Orioles after winning 52 games only two years ago and we get RDT on the phone to offer congratulations. The Dodgers clinched the NL West so we compare and contrast the success of the Dodgers and Braves in recent years and decide who’s having the more impressive run. Max joins the pod to talk Angels missing the playoffs, Shohei clearing out his locker, Rendon throwing the Angels under the bus, and Mike Trout probably being traded. Other topics include the Rays clinching the playoffs, the Marlins sweeping the Braves, MLB attendance up, and a new Rays ballpark. We also look into an article about Manny Machado’s influence on the clubhouse in San Diego. Thanks for listening and we’ll see you on Wednesday!

The Red Sox have fired Chaim Bloom and we get Jared’s live reaction to the move. We recap Bloom’s tenure in Boston and talk about who might be next in line to take over baseball operations for the Red Sox. Max Scherzer is out for the season and is “unlikely” to pitch in the playoffs. We’re talking about how this affects the Rangers chances of success in the playoffs and Jared has a take that may surprise you. The Braves won their SIXTH straight division title and look to be going into the playoffs as World Series favorites. Joey breaks down the contract situation and comes to the conclusion that the Braves are all set for the rest of the decade. We also acknowledge the Rays as one of the better teams in the league over the last two months and wrap up with some final thoughts. Thanks for listening and we’ll see you on Monday!

Alek Manoah REFUSED to report to Triple-A and is expected to be shut down for the season. We’re reacting to yet another black mark on the season for Jared and Dallas’ AL Cy Young pick. Trea Turner has pretty much been the best player in baseball since he received his standing ovation and we’re trying to figure out what’s in the air in Philly. We also speculate on what could be the best playoff matchups, the NL MVP race, the A’s not being as bad as we thought, and A-Rod’s comments on AVG. Thanks for listening and we’ll see you tomorrow!

11/09/2023

The Angels are reportedly open to trading Mike Trout if he wants out. We’re talking about possible destinations, who could take the rest of his massive contract, and where he’s at in his career in terms of production and health. Dallas thinks he’s washed. Our other lead topic is George Kirby’s comments about wishing he was pulled earlier in his last start. We dive into exactly what he said as well as the reaction from former pitchers on social media. Ronald Acuña is sick of being pitched inside and had some words for Pirates pitcher Oviedo which led to the benches clearing. We’re breaking down the exchange and talking about if Acuña took it too far. Other topics include the Astros continuing to dominate, Jasson Dominguez’s torn UCL, the BID Parlay, John Means returning, Braves clinching the postseason, and more! Thanks for listening and we’ll see you on Wednesday!

06/09/2023

The AL Wild Card race is tightening up big time, partly due to José Altuve’s insane hot stretch including hitting 3 HRs in 3 innings last night. The Rangers find themselves outside of the playoff picture for the first time all season so we’re discussing what went wrong and whether they have any fight left. We’re also diving into the NL Wild card race and deciding which teams we think will prevail among the six teams still in the mix. Other topics include Justin Steele’s impact on the Cubs, Julio Urías being arrested and his future in MLB, Terry Francona saying “it’s time” in terms of managing in baseball, an Ohtani injury update, Rendon still ducking questions from reporters, and more. Thanks for listening and we’ll see you tomorrow!

30/08/2023

After buying at the trade deadline, not trading Shohei, and going all in for a 2023 playoff run, the Angels have officially rage quit. They have placed SIX players on waivers, four of which they acquired at the deadline. We get Max on the phone for his reaction which leads to his beautiful delivery of a poem encapsulating Angels fans’ thoughts on the state of the team. Other topics include J-Rod claiming the AL lead in hits, Strasburg’s retirement, Acuña Jr. chasing 30/60 and NL MVP discussion, Yu Darvish potential elbow injury, Aaron Boone staying as the Yankees manager, and Tony Gonsolin having elbow surgery. Thanks for listening and we’ll see you tomorrow!

Orioles All-Star closer Félix Bautista will hit the IL as UCL injuries are running rampant in MLB right now. We talk about how this will affect the Orioles potential playoff success and why the game needs Dallas’s baboon ligament surgery more than ever. The Mariners are red-hot and have taken over first place in the AL West. We’re taking a look at the AL West and determining who we’re most confident in having playoff success between the Mariners, Astros, and Rangers. We also break down the drama between the Angels and Ohtani, Brandon Lowe’s comments about the Yankees, Mookie taking over as the NL MVP favorite, the depressing state of the Padres, and more!

It’s a sad day for baseball as Shohei Ohtani suffered a UCL injury and won’t pitch again for the rest of the season. We’re discussing how this will affect his status as a two-way player moving forward and how much his value might change on the free agent market. We also talk about the tight AL West Race, Mookie’s impending return to Boston, and more! Thanks for listening and we’ll see you on Monday!

24/08/2023

The White Sox are cleaning house as they’ve fired their Vice President and GM. We’re talking about the timing of this organizational reconstruction and what the future looks like. The Mariners won their 8th straight game and have put themselves in the conversation to win the division. On the other hand, the Yankees have lost their 9th straight and are officially punting on the 2023 season. We also have Trea Turner and the Phillies on fire since the standing ovation, a correction on the Matt Olson debate, Joey’s statement on blowing the parlay, Davey Sockit, and more! Thanks for listening and we’ll see you tomorrow!

21/08/2023

It was a big weekend in MLB, but today we’re starting with the Little League World Series ahead of a heavyweight matchup between Japan and Chinese Taipei. Then, we got Julio Rodríguez putting an absolute SHOW over the last week as the Mariners skyrocket in the standings and now have a 60% chance to make the postseason. Gerrit Cole had his 4th straight opportunity to pass the Baines line and failed to do so yet again, and Jayhay took that personally. We also have the BID parlay, Pete Alonso throwing a milestone baseball away, and a conversation on the NL MVP race. Thanks for listening and we’ll see you on Wednesday!

14/08/2023

Cedric Mullins had possibly the greatest two half-innings of all time when he robbed a game-tying home run in the bottom of the ninth and hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the top of the 10th. In addition to the Mullins game we have Kevin Brown’s statement, the A’s blowing it on Dallas’s birthday, the DBacks ending their losing streak, a Justin Verlander NY Post story, and more!

On the other hand, the White Sox are selling off pieces left and right and we’re talking about how disappointing it is that they never succeeded with what was supposed to be their core.
