Episode 46 - Idiots or Geniuses? NL Edition
Since the stove wasn’t hot all offseason we decided to bring the HEAT to this discussion. National League is always a little bit more fun for us since we’ve got the homer teams. And we let each other know how we feel about it. East is boring, West SHOULD HAVE BEEN, and Central was a real wild…

THIS SEASON IS OVAH. Congratulations to the 2023 World Series Champion Texas Rangers, a team we all expected to win the world series at the beginning of the season. The Rangers seemingly had the series pretty well in hand the whole time and got it down in 5 relatively anticlimactic games. They…

Episode 28 - Walker Tucker Ranger
Well...the Division series are over and no game 5s. COME ON. The resident Braves fan is sad. What happened with that team? On the bright side, they won 1 more game than the Dodgers did. WOOF. The Twins made a valiant effort, but did they really ever have a chance? Where were the Orioles? Watch…
more -
Episode 27 - Forgive and Forget
We be back!!!

Episode 23 - Runner Up Mookie Betts
THIS WEEK: Same teams are still good. We spend some time discussing the NL award races because our predictions were...no bueno. Should first basemen get more love? Probably! Is one going to win the MVP? I doubt it. Does the MVP award go to the most VALUABLE player? Or the best player? The Cy…

Episode 22 - What Dongs and What Doesn't
The whole gang is back this week! As the season winds down it seems like the rakings are becoming pretty stagnant, so we also take a look at what teams are still not performing up to their potential…and some that are still playing a little over their potential. Is the Braves lineup this year one…
