Episodes

2020 All-Stars (s5e18) - Panic at Chavez Ravine
Are we panicked about the Dodgers slide? We talk about a bunch of things that have very little to do with the fantasy baseball season. We jump all over the place in this episode. Probably best to just download it and then rate and review us. If you want one name for next year, Ronald Acuna. He...
-
2020 All-Stars (s5e17) - The Byron Buxton Dilemna
Angels in the outfield and the infield! We discuss the big moves by the Angels. They added Justin Upton and Brandon Philips to their offense and Houston added Justin Verlander. But we also waste a lot of time on smaller deals like Cameron Maybin and Mike Cameron’s son. Don’t worry, we keep it...
-
2020 All-Stars (s5e16) - Post All-Star break
Things went awry with both our team and our young pitchers. But we begin with a chat about Yu Darvish. Short story short, he’ll be who we thought he was. Talking of big stars, we discuss the Bryce Harper injury. Of course, I had a similar injury so we pretend to think we know what we are talking...
-
2020 All-Stars (s5e15) - The Kids are Coming
We discuss the two newest young third basemen that came up this week. Yoan Moncada and Rafael Devers were called up this week. We actually discussed these guys a few weeks ago. Todd thought Moncada was going to get more ABs, and I was higher on Devers… Now? You gotta listen to find out. The next...
-
2020 All-Stars (s5e14) - Back From the Break
Sorry, this one is coming late. We chatted about change you can believe in coming out of Chicago and Washington putting out a wild dumpster fire. What? Baseball? Baseball… barely. As always, check us out on Twitter @2020AllStars, Instagram 2020AllStars, and iTunes. Season 5 Episode 14 (45:41)
-
2020 All-Stars (s5e13) - Real All-Stars Announced
The real all-star team has been announced and we discuss the surprises. Where there is Smoak, there is fire! We discuss Yonder Alonso vs Justin Smoak and who we think is more for real / more surprising. We also discuss the return of Freddie Freeman once again. In the NL, we discuss the middle...
-
2020 All-Stars (s5e12) - Dodger lefty down for the count
We talk about the Julio Urias injury. He’s got a shoulder injury and he done. Pretty much a drop everywhere and we discuss possible replacements. Rick Porcello vs Alex Cobb, Trevor Bauer vs Mike Montgomery, Andrew Moore, Dutch Oven… does that sound exciting? Hey, it’s bleak out there. On the...
-
2020 All-Stars (s5e11) - Wood vs Berrios
Pretty quiet week, so we chat about pitchers young and old. Alex Wood vs Jose Berrios vs any random name we can think of. We also rehash a bunch of articles on Fangraphs this week. Like we said, it was slow. Another subject on the docket is how has the flyball era effected how pitchers pitch....
-
2020 All-Stars (s5e10) - Fresh Fish
We chat about the Astros lastest call up. Derek Fisher has had a monster season in the minors this year, but is this sustainable? Is he a legit 25/25 guy? Todd worries that the steals won’t translate to the bigs, but I’m more optimistic. We compare Fisher with our favorite rookie, Cody Bellinger....
-
2020 All-Stars (s5e09) - Off the rails
Off-topic is the name of the game this week. We get a little political, although don’t worry, it’s still our wacky takes on things. The environment, gender equality, basketball… there just isn’t a lot going on in baseball, so we stray. Hey, what can you do? We start off with our favorite subject,...
-
2020 All-Stars (s5e08) - Go Fish
Trout. Thumb. Us. Tears. That’s pretty much the first 10 minutes of the podcast. We discuss waiver wire guys that are out there, but none of these guys are Trout. Not even close. So yea, probably best to just replace Trout with tears. The big question is: Is Mike Trout gettable now? If someone is...
-
2020 All-Stars (s5e07) - What's up, Joc?
Was this our best effort? … ýou can be the judge. We chat about Julio Urias. He had another bad outing and was sent back to the minors. Todd still has the faith and believes this guy will still a be a star. But for a keeper league, we discuss whether you should hold onto him. But it’s not all bad...
-
2020 All-Stars (s5e06) - Prospect of the Podcast 2017...
The big news of the week is the Aroldis Chapman injury. Although it’s big news, there is really no corresponding move because Betances should have already been owned. KRod lost the gig and Josh Wilson steps into the role. The next KRod looks to be Fernando Rodney, but who will be the next guy? JJ...
-
2020 All-Stars (s5e05) - Ennyone Out There?
Another week, another set of big names going down. Not sure how we got there, but we begin with Closerpocalypse. We go through a bunch of the guys that have recently gotten saves, but may not stick around in the gig. Crappy closers are basically our bread and butter, so listen for big names like...
-
2020 All-Stars (s5e04) - Everybody Hurts. Some Times.
You came for baseball, but you’re staying for the basketball talk! This episode when way off the rails, but moved along quite nicely. On this May 4th, Star-Wars day, we begin our discussion with the Noah Syndergaard injury, how the 10-day DL is being used, and replacements for your squad. Lots of...
-
2020 All-Stars (s5e03) - Mad Bummed-out
The big news in the past couple days is the Madison Bumgarner’s dirt bike injury. Blessing in disguise? Cheap young talent on the wire to replace him? We discuss these topics. Once again, we chat about closers. Same song, different verse, only this time just a little bit worse. In case you…
more -
2020 All-Stars (s5e02) - what glitters is not always gold
The big news of the week was Starling Marte getting slammed with an 80-day PED suspension. We discuss what to do with him, what are the long-term ramifications of this? In what types of leagues do you keep Marte and where can you let him loose? Also we do some replacement talk, although with a…
more -
2020 All-Stars (s5e01) - And we're back!
We kick off a bit of rust with the first episode of the season. Mostly chatting about old flames such as Wil Myers and George Springer. Was it our best effort? Best of 2017 so far is how I’d describe it… We get into a discussion about the Padres for way longer than we should. We talk about a…
more -
2020 All-Stars (s4e18) - Alex Bregman is Free!
Turner vs Bregman. Todd likes Turner’s steals potential and the general lack of steals in the league. Turner is definitely the burner of the two, but I’m worried about his OBP. Bregman is finally turning it on and Bregman has shown his potential to be a high average guy. The lineups of both guys...
-
2020 All-Stars (s4e17) - Disco3000
Welcome to the 2005 All-Stars podcast! We discuss a lot of the old guys that are in the news this week. Ichiro got his 3,000th hit. Ichiro has had a sneaky good average but he’s not really putting up the counting stats to be fantasy relevant. Next we discuss the fantasy implications of the Prince...
-
2020 All-Stars (s4e16) - Yank me this way and that
We discuss a bunch of the trades that went down. Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman… They are both good. We lament what could have been if Chapman was a starter. Oh, the things he would have done. Would it just be one 100 mph fastball after another? One of the great what-ifs in baseball. But yea…
more -
2020 All-Stars (s4e15) - The Price is Right?
Panic!!! RUN!!! AHHH!!! Ok, deep breathes. Stay calm… As you can see, we running through the gambit of emotions. After another bad start from David Price, we discuss what owners should do with him. Who could you get for him? And should you deal him? Also in the world of aces, we lament about...
-
2020 All-Stars (s4e14) - Where we learn about ourselves from baseball...
So we learned something this week. I have turf toe. How did I learn this? Because Jose Bautista has turf toe. Baseball, what would we do without you? As always, check us out on Twitter @2020AllStars, Instagram 2020AllStars, and iTunes. Season 4 Episode 14 (28:03)

2020 All-Stars (s4e13) - CC or Tiny Tim?
We had a special live episode today. More of the usual. Prospects, fantasy zombies, closerpocalypse. Thanks for listening and apologies for the late post. As always, check us out on Twitter @2020AllStars, Instagram 2020AllStars, and iTunes. Season 4 Episode 13 () local({r <- getOption(“repos”);...

2020 All-Stars (s4e12) - Is Adam Jones Back?
No description… running to the airport :-) Viel Spaß! As always, check us out on Twitter @2020AllStars, Instagram 2020AllStars, and iTunes. Season 4 Episode 12 (29:58)
-
2020 All-Stars (s4e11) - #FreeAlexBregman
Bad puns kicks off our discussion. James Shields got traded to the White Sox. The only thing that it really tells us is that the White Sox are in it to win it. Perhaps they’ll bring up Tim Anderson to replace Jimmy Rollins at SS, but the prospects in the deal are lotto tickets. Perhaps in 2020...
-
2020 All-Stars (s4e10) - This Kershaw guy might be good...
Kershaw or Strasburg? I try to make a case for Stephen, but it pretty much all hinges on wins. It’s not really a defensible position, but it’s something to chat about. But speaking of super prospects, JULIO!!!!! JULIO!!!! JULIO! Julio Urias made his debut and it was rough. He got rocked, but this...
-
2020 All-Stars (s4e09) - Is Melvin Upton Jr back?
We had a relatively quick podcast this week because Todd had to get to a golf lesson to practice for his upcoming round at the famed Pebble Beach. We quickly go around the league and discuss some hot players, some not, and finally return to our bread and butter with rookies who could make an…

Season 4 Episode 08 - 2020 All-Stars
Well, I got hit by a car but no DL stint for me! We have a quick hitter here. We blow through the weeks news. The #FreeTreaTurner talk is heating up and so is #BuxtonWatch2016. As always, check us out on Twitter @2020AllStars, Instagram 2020AllStars, and iTunes. Season 4 Episode 08 (38:58)
-
Season 4 Episode 07 - 2020 All-Stars
Mother’s Day podcast. Like the pod, I’ll make this summary quick hitting. Garrett Richards goes down with a torn UCL. The super sleeper name that Todd likes is Nate Smith. Another guy in the minors that Todd likes is James Taillon. Of course, the rest of the internet is on the Tyler Glasnow…
more -
Season 4 Episode 06 - 2020 All-Stars
The big news of the week is Dee Gordon’s 80 day suspension for PEDs. We lament about this because he’s the third keeper that we’ve lost for a significant chuck of the season already. We do a decent job of holding back the tears, but this was probably the nail in the of our 2016 fantasy season in...
-
Season 4 Episode 05 - 2020 All-Stars
Jake Arrietta, the #1 overall pitchers? Noah Syndergaard, next big thing? We start this fireside chat with a discussion of the big name pitchers. Kenta Maeda also works his way into the discussion. Todd watches the Dodgers a lot and likes what he sees, but cautions our listeners about going…

Season 4 Episode 04 - 2020 All-Stars
Public Service Announcement: Our internet connection was crap. We had a bunch of drop outs and ended up recording this episode in two parts. We play the game, Panic or Patience. We begin with two young guys on Minnesota. Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano have been struggling and we discuss it. What...
-
Season 4 Episode 03 - 2020 All-Stars
Were you interested in hearing about the 80s classic The Goonies? Well, we went there. But we needed something positive to talk about and baseball simply wasn’t providing that positivity. We discuss all the injuries. The big name is Kyle Schwarber. We discuss who on the Cubs could benefit from...
-
Season 4 Episode 02 - 2020 All-Stars
Always something new for y’all on the 2020 Allstars. I (David) was homeless for the month of March. Instead of scrambling to find a place in Berlin, I decided to travel to Egypt. So this weeks episode comes to you from Cairo. As such the audio quality isn’t quite up to snuff, but you’re probably...
-
Season 4 Episode 01 - 2020 All-Stars
Alright guys, we started off shaky and there are 10 minutes that will never see the light of day. We begin our conversation with the young Chicago Cubs. The squad, we love, but the prices not so much. With so many players will there be enough playing time for everyone? We even have concerns about...
-
Season 3 Episode 26 - 2020 All-Stars
We did not watch a lot of baseball this week. Instead of doing our normal recap, we discuss who are next years breakouts. We begin with our favorite AJ Pollock. Todd brilliant pulls Christian Yelich’s name out of a hat. Man, I love that call and wish that I had thought of it. I actually think...
-
Season 3 Episode 25 - 2020 All-Stars
The future is now! We are coming up on September. What does this mean? If you’re in a holds league then it’s time to make your big run! But before the baseball comes the food, thus we needed to discuss grilling in Germany. Todd is disgusted that we grilled without a Weber Grill. Jamacian style...
-
Season 3 Episode 24 - 2020 All-Stars
In true 2020 All-Star fashion, we have a nice little false start. We re-begin the podcast with a discussion of Trea Turner. He doesn’t necessarily have a lot of opportunity for playing time, but he’s definitely a stashable guy in keeper leagues. We move onto the Chase Utley trade. We don’t...
-
Season 3 Episode 23 - 2020 All-Stars
We are off and running with classic 2020 All-Star material in discussing Randal Grichuk’s elbow injury. Names like Aaron Hicks and Chris Coghlan are bandied about. We move on to King Felix’s troubles. I’m a little more worried than Todd, but the more interesting discussion is should you try to…

Season 3 Episode 22 - 2020 All-Stars
This week is pretty special. We’re going back in time to check out some of our predictions from our inaugural episode of Season 3. Below are the notes that we are referring to: D: Miguel Cabrera will be a “bust” - Either .275 hitter or “is good but plays only 110 games” D: Anthony Rizzo is the #1...
-
Season 3 Episode 21 - 2020 All-Stars
There are times you know you are witnessing magic, like when a pitcher is in the middle of throwing a perfect game. The ball is dancing around, every pitch hits it’s spot, the ball is coming out seemingly a few mph faster with every pitch. You watch this feat and you can just tell something…

Season 3 Episode 20 - 2020 All-Stars
Trade season is upon us. We delve into the moves that have already been made and also discuss some injuries this week. As always, check us out on Twitter @2020AllStars and iTunes. Season 3 Episode 20 (34:45)
-
Season 3 Episode 19 - 2020 All-Stars
We’re working our way back to form. We’ve got about 30 minutes of goodness for you this week. We chat about keeper league values and specifically, selling stud pitchers for youthful bats. Todd tends to side with the bats and I say throw something against the wall and see what happens. The other...
-
Season 3 Episode 18 - 2020 All-Stars
It’s been two weeks and we have a mini-pod for you. We basically run through the injuries of the past two weeks and lament about the Greek Crisis. Miggy, David Wright, Dee Gordon, Strasburg, etc, etc. That wanders into a little bit of closer chatter and old guy talk. There is a rookie of note…

Season 3 Episode 17 - 2020 All-Stars
This week, we stray from our normal banter about food to talk about gay marriage/LGBT rights. This past Friday, the Supreme Court decided that states could no longer ban or not recognize gay marriages. Huge win for equal rights in America! We even dabble into German gay marriage politics for the...
-
Season 3 Episode 16 - 2020 All-Stars
We start off our chat about the Sunday holidays. Fête de la Musique in Germany and Father’s Day in the US. The big news of the week was Max Scherzer, so we start off our discussion with Justin Turner. What is his value? What can you get for him in a trade? We think you’ll be surprised at the…

Season 3 Episode 15 - 2020 All-Stars
Ok guys, this is becoming a food podcast. For the first three minutes, we discuss making french fries, pommes frites, whatever you call them, from scratch and then turning those into the Quebecois specialty, Poutine. As for actual fantasy baseball talk, we discuss the recent call-ups. What do we...

Season 3 Episode 14 - 2020 All-Stars
So I, David, was in Israel last week, so we missed a week. Deep-league discussion? It gets no deeper than this. Pat Venditte! Switch pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. Is he fantasy relevant? Not really. But is it awesome that he can pitch from both sides? You need to listen to find out. We go…

Season 3 Episode 13 - 2020 All-Stars
I’m not going to sugarcoat this one. We slapped this episode together pretty quickly. I’m heading off to Israel in 4 hours, so apologies for the curtness. However, we still have 45 minutes of podcasting goodness for you. Enjoy! As always, check us out on Twitter @2020AllStars and iTunes. Season 3...
