RPFP Interlude - Part One of Something
This episode is Part 1 of something. Of what? We don’t know! We’re stuck at home without baseball, so Resting Pitchface will be bringing you Food Science and Books: Because You’re Stuck In Your House Too. Also featuring any other household tips we can think of, like what to do with old shirseys....
-
Resting Pitchface E57 - World Series Branded Bucket
Welcome to Resting Pitchface 2020! In this episode we have ongoing thoughts about the ongoing Astros sign stealing scandal, including clear vinyl clothing, noise making opportunities, and MK-Ultra. We also talk about we can control in this era of MLB void crabs. Now taking new favorite player...

Resting Pitchface E56 - A Poor Place To Be That Undressed
The Nationals won the World Series. We're here to deal with the fallout, positive, and, unfortunately, negative. Sports sometimes make it hard to be a fan, but we've got our community when it's good and when it gets tough. We've also got our corkboards and strings to catch some Astros. Resting...

Resting Pitchface - Bastard Goose
WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS BABY

Bonus: (You Gotta Have) Heart
Since we've had a new parody song before every postseason series, obviously we couldn't stop now... and what better Nats World Series anthem than the most iconic song from Damn Yankees, with a bit of a Nats-themed twist? Enjoy, and don't forget, TFU TFU TFU!

NLCS HERE WE COME!

Bonus: My Boyfriend's Back
You heard a teaser in our post-Wild Card Not A Real Episode... now you can listen to the full track of the latest song in the Resting Pitchface Parody Catalogue! With love and apologies to Anthony Rendon.

Resting Pitchface - This Is Not A Real Episode
We won an elimination game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Resting Pitchface E55 - A Highly Relatable Hat
When we recorded this, the Nationals had a magic number of 4, now it’s 0! We did proactively thank the Cardinals. We also discussed the Nats’ identity crisis, the strange case of the September not-call-ups, and the various existential hats we’re all wearing. All with the Resting Pitchface flair…

Resting Pitchface E54 - Fiddler On The Roof Rabbi-Copter
The women's national baseball team won gold in the Pan Am Games! Guess some coverage would have been nice. Shrug. Emoji. On the homefront, Max is back, hopefully no longer trying to herd the rest of the dugout. Shockingly, we think Rendon deserves a contract extension. No one deserves those…

Resting Pitchface E53 - Lefty Relievers Below Replacement
We’re back after a life hiatus. Luckily women’s baseball didn’t take a hiatus, with a new European tournament and the fifth year of Baseball For All (go DC Force). If you missed Women in Baseball Week, Baseball Prospectus has a tag for that. Oh yeah, the Nats made some trade moves and our bench…

Resting Pitchface E52 - Where's The Amphibious Pitcher
There’s nothing wrong with Ohio; a couple Nats are going! Hope Tony eats a cannoli and no one gets hurt, there’s still a (1/2) season to play. And right now, there’s baseball in London and in New York a Toni Stone production, and in DC Adam Eaton is super bad at hot takes~ A Resting Pitchface...
-
Resting Pitchface E51 - Shawn Kelley Glove Fund
The optimal product of baseball should be fun baseball and the Nationals are making that a bit easier of late. (Vote Rendon.) We here at Tangents R Us are certainly having a better time, as are a number of Nats pitchers. (Vote Rendon.) This time we have some on-field reporters from Night Out,...
-
Resting Pitchface E50: Please Unsnap Dusty
Resting Pitchface returns from the Eastern Women’s Baseball Conference Diamond Classic with some wisdom the Nationals could use: Lean in with your boobs. Not your head, Victor Robles. If the season is going to be what it keeps on being, the Nats should at least make sure the kids (Soto, Robles…
more -
Resting Pitchface E49: Rick Ankiel's Finishing School
Resting Pitchface is a niche bookstore this week! The Nats have us in a weird place emotionally. They might be the squibs of MLB but there are at least a few smart cats giving us something to be happy about. The rest is a repetitive series of bad decisions, institutional exploitation, and,...
-
Resting Pitchface E48: Seal Tank Romeo & Juliet
If we had our way, we’d be talking about “wiggling entertainingly everywhere” for the whole episode. Being Nats fans, however, we can’t not discuss the bullpen. From Yipsitis to stolen eyewear, Resting Pitchface runs the gamut on the theme. Feat. Heel turns, power tools, and RPFP greatest hits....
-
Resting PitchfaceE47: Shirtless & Slightly Douchey
Look, Bryce is gone. We have some feelings and opinions about that. It’s Resting Pitchface, we have feelings and opinions about everything. For example, how many Matts are on the Nats (spoilers: a lot), whether any of these new rule changes are going to fix anything (spoilers: they aren’t) , and...
-
Resting PitchfaceE46 - And We're Back To That
Spring training is upon us and Resting Pitchface is back to talk about all the free agents yet to find their forever homes. Free agents are basically stray cats, right? We also say our goodbyes to Frank Robinson, discuss potential tight races in the NL, and make some space for more Grammar Time...
-
Resting PitchfaceE45 - All Glory to the Shoulder Toad
Resting Pitchface is back even though baseball still isn’t. We discuss the offseason moves the Nats (and a few select others) have made and what that could mean for 2019. As always with us, there’s more: telepathy as a performance enhancing drug, what can be done to protect Wilson Ramos’...
-
Resting PitchfaceE44 - Flat Stanleys
We've gone from baseball chaos to baseball anti-chaos here in the post season, but that doesn't mean we don't have some highlights to discuss. Relief pitcher home runs, catcher support groups, the un-pitcher-butt, and more all have their episode in the sun. We're also joined by Adrian Burgos of…
more -
Resting PitchfaceE43 - Oatmeal Storm
What does Resting Pitchface want in the postseason (now that the Nats are out)? Chaos. Chaos, and Ichiro in a series of disguises. Do we have enough mustaches for this? Also, did you know that Mike Trout is a chaos/weather god? You heard it here first. The Nats’ season may be over but that…
more -
Resting PitchfaceE42 - Phenomaly
We here at Resting Pitchface likes to cover many topics: unionization, eating the rich, pharmaceutical development, and measuring things in percentages of a Joe Blanton. We're also making peace with where the Nationals are and looking forward to where they'll be. Jayson Werth night was a thing…
more -
Resting PitchfaceE41 - Spiritual Grain Beetles
Please Nationals, stop making us have to update our theme song. This episode Resting Pitchface discusses not just the loss of Gio Gonzalez but many players we've loved and lost over the years. Joined by familial special guest Hannah, we walk back all the way to Lastings Milledge and try to find...
-
Resting PitchfaceE40 - Dumpster Ikea
Hey literally everyone: watch the Women’s Baseball World Cup! PSA over. Walk off balk is hard to say, don’t hit rookies with baseballs, and don’t sell your bullpen because you’re mad. That said, bullpen carts are great, though we all have differing options as to why. And more thing should be…
more -
Resting PitchfaceE39 - When It Doesn't
The Trea Turner episode.** (There is discussion of Roberto Osuna & MLB's domestic violence policy. Please contact thehotline.org (DV), rainn.org (SA), or suicidepreventionlifeline.org if you need help or just someone to listen) ** This episode was recorded before Trea Turner's apology press...
-
Resting PitchfaceE38 - A Truth Universally Acknowledged
We're not happy about teams dumping on their own players, but we are happy about the All Star Game. We're not happy about the lack of disease control protocols, but we are happy about the Mariners' sleeveless uniforms. We aren't happy about the Nats, but we are happy about the Nats. Ah, sports....
-
Resting PitchfaceE37 - A Buffalo In Your Kitchen
National baseball media is doing a horrific job of talking about domestic violence/child sexual assault and we have to address it. Do freaking better. Umps are also not learning anything about their racist behavior and we have to address it. Do freaking better. Meanwhile the Negro League Baseball...
-
Resting PitchfaceE36 - Don't Get The Clap From The Cup
The Stanley Cup followed Adam Eaton to DC and then to Nats Park; whether or not this breaks the sports curse, we hope the Nationals remember to sanitize. It's also the 75th anniversary of the AAGPBL and as important as that is, it's equally important to talk about its history without sweeping the...
-
Resting PitchfaceE35 - Pitchers Are Weird Cats
Thanks to newest MASN personality Michael Morse for our deeply on brand title (and general baseball philosophy). We've got a fair amount of pitchers being weird cats, or people being weird to pitching cats, this ep. What is it about Florida that makes for so many poor choices? Also, racial...
-
Resting PitchfaceE34 - Fun Things Are Fun (When We're Winning)
Is Matt Harvey currently a LOLMETS or a LOLCINCY? Is Anthony Rendon doing a The Bachelor-esque rose ceremony or is it behavior modification? What on Earth is going on with you Bryce Harper? We look for answers here at Resting Pitchface. Even with a brief sojourn in Geography class. Episode 34…
more -
Resting PitchfaceE33 - Some (Nats) Like It Hot
Everyone chill, it's still only April. Meantime, who wears it best: Pedro "The Thriller" Severino vs Wil "The Thrill" Difo. Major League Baseball & fans continue to be extremely racist (Lindor has nothing to apologize for). Umpiring, heavy sigh. Baseball is in the Upside Down. Resting Pitchface...
-
Resting PitchfaceE32 - Phenomenal Cosmic Weirdness, Itty Bitty Opening Weekend
It's been a heck of an Opening Weekend and that's without even getting into the Nat's 21-runs-over-three-games sweep of the Reds. We tackle the highlights (overturned walkoffs & the 17 stages of baseball grief, the audacity of bunting, the gall of Brian Goodwin's grand slam), Resting Pitchface...
-
Resting PitchfaceE31 - Things of the Face
We have something of an Aging Players Yearbook this "week". What's going on with Ichiro, Tim Lincecum, and podcast favorite Tyler Clippard? Also, Noah Syndergaard's shirtless interview has us speculating about more than just bullpen carts. The pornstar jar is on topic for once (though it does get...
-
E30 - Bad Idea Factory
As the song (sort of) goes Baseball's Back, Alright! Resting Pitchface is joined this week by Ursula of Flipping Bats & Winning Games to discuss the state of the NL East (don't hold her Mets fan-dom against her). Of course, the NL is mainly a bad idea factory, but that's not so out of keeping…
more -
Resting PitchfaceE29 - Hashtag Cold Stove
Did you know that Christian Yelich autocorrects to helicopter? #yelicopter Also, Ichiro is a wasp now. No, this didn't become a Marlins podcast overnight, but the Nats only made like 1 1/2 moves since our last episode. This is Howie do it and Anthony Rendon might be making the money he's earned....
-
Resting PitchfaceE28 - Compassionate Release
The Nats haven't made a lot of moves so far this offseason, but some other teams have made some doozies, making some people happy and others not so much (#savechristianyelich). The Nats have changed their uniforms, something we noted when two thirds of us went to Winterfest. We talk about that…
more -
Resting PitchfaceE27 - #ThirstStove
Resting Pitchface is back and on brand. This time around? Sociolinguistic discussions, can MLB change its traditionalist spots for a player like Ohtani Shohei, and is the final form of all baseball players Adam Dunn. There's player pants, sleeveless jerseys, and junk balaclava here. PSA: don't...
-
Resting PitchfaceE26 - In Dusty We Trusty
Today we're all wearing our Dusty Baker Defense Squad hats and our swear jar is hungry. We've got listener participation in this episode of Resting Pitchface, which seemed appropriate as we discuss what the majority of the fanbase is thinking. Also featuring some post Game 5 analysis (sigh) and…

Resting PitchfaceE25 - A Very Hoarse Episode
Superstitions, shrines, stolen bases, and screaming. Resting Pitchface went to games 1 & 2 of the NLDS and we have a feelings hangover. Let's all decompress together. Rally TFU TFU TFU! Episode 25 - A Very Hoarse Episode
-
Resting PitchfaceE24 - Brought To You By The Letter F Bomb
Resting Pitchface has nothing appropriate to say (do we ever?) so we're going inappropriate. Luckily rookie dress up day is a thing, and a thankfully creative thing this time around. Thing have been awakened within all of us. There's also tautological arguments, discussion over what is the…

Resting PitchfaceE23 - 60:40 Animals To Baseball
Howie Kendrick and Wilmer Difo are not the same size! And all the clap emoji in the world aren't going to change that! We here at Resting Pitchface are dedicated to bringing you the real facts about player height. Also, cat genetics, Ollie & Albie love, and player DL frustrations (Bryce would...
-
Resting PitchfaceE22 - Player To Be Nicknamed Later
We finally have a topical reason to talk baseball nicknames! Dubiously topical? Cat jerseys may not be customizable, our outfield is a cornucopia of ups despite our current MASH unit status, and Scotchguarding bases is an... interesting concept. Resting Pitchface is joined this episode with some...
-
Resting PitchfaceE21 - Sort By Huggability
Just how many players are Dorian Gray-ing their way through MLB? Who are all these new Nationals? Did Bryce Harper make a pact with a sea witch? "Answers" to these questions in the latest episode of Resting Pitchface, as well as what's up with the Cardinal's Christian Night, is there a right way…
more -
Resting PitchfaceE20 - Salty Potatoes
It's Resting Pitchface's favorite time of year, the All Star Break! Which still doesn't have pool noodle jousting, but should, especially with this many Nats going (snubs aside). We discuss that, furthering the cause of international baseball, menacing oceans, and our new guys, who we're pretty...
-
Resting PitchfaceE19 - Trea Turner Clone Factory
Anthony Rendon has a BFF! And they both have the shirts to prove it! Also, the Nats have a Trea Turner cloning factory or at least are starting an impressive collection. Joe Ross keeps trying to do it all, Resting Pitchface has a family, Darren Baker may be a basket full of kittens, and Bianca…
more -
Resting PitchfaceE18 - Relievers Are People Too
Intergalactic baseball is sadly still not a thing, sigh. But we here at Resting Pitchface can still find ways to bring space into Earth-based baseball, especially when the NL East is a collection of black holes stacked on top of each other; Organic Farmer Jayson Werth may revive farming at the...
-
Resting PitchfaceE17 - Run A Bunch Of Stairs
There's so much positive to talk about! De Nile is just a river near the Potomac! The Ryanaissance is real (and we all can spell it), Jayson Werth is himself but stronger, and Max Scherzer continues to exemplify our starting pitching. Couple that with some strong feelings about playing through...
-
Resting PitchfaceE16 - A Roster Move To The Knee
Sometimes the baseball players we love make bad decisions, which can run the gamut from poor choices in bleaching to falling off their dirtbikes *cough* MadBum *cough*. Obviously, we talk about all the ways those bad decisions can manifest, with side paths into new baby Strasburgs, the return of...
-
Resting PitchfaceE15 - Week One: Falling Practice
The (roughly) first week of baseball is behind us! There's lots of positives, some glaring negatives, and plenty to fuel a full season's worth of discussion. Of course, we here at Resting Pitchface focus on our favorite topics, such as comfort goats, falling down properly, The Bullpen Situation,...
