Well viewers we mucked up on our recording schedule and thought that the Divisional Series' would be over by now...guess the Cubs thought different!

So instead of a Championship Series preview please join Cal and Gaz for some more of Boo's Hot Takes, a review of the Blue Jays/Yankees and Dodgers/Phillies series and a Start Bench Cut that neither guy had prepared for!

We also find out if Cal knows any other team other than the San Francisco Giants (spoiler, he does not!)

It's been a great summer for British Baseball internationally and following on from the U23 Men's Team taking home the gold in the 2025 European Championships, the GB Women's team did the same as well!

Held in the Czech Republic, the Women took on the hosts, France and the Netherlands in the group stage, before beating the hosts in the Final 9-7 and taking home the gold!

It was the Women's first ever gold medal at the Euros in just their second tournament appearance and with that they have qualified for the Women's Baseball World Cup being held in Rockford, Illinois in 2025!

Due to the success of the Women's team, we thought it would only be right to catch up with some of the players post tournament, so joining Gaz on this episode are Sophie Willis and Saskia Davies!

Listen on for how they found the Euros experience, a game by game rundown of the tournament from the players' perspective and what they are looking forward to the most with the programme in the future!

It's been a great summer for British Baseball internationally and this was kicked off by the U23 Men's Team taking home the gold in the 2025 European Championships!

Held in the Czech Republic, the U23 team took on Israel, France and the Czech Republic in the group stage, before edging out the Netherlands in the Semi Finals and beating the hosts in the final!

It was the U23's first ever gold medal at the Euros and kickstarted what has been an incredible summer for the British Baseball teams!

With that in mind we couldn't think of anyone more suited to kick off our interview series than the skipper - Jonathon Cramman!

'Cram' has been part of the coaching setup for a few years now at both youth and senior level and expertly led the team to the trophy.

So join Dan and Gaz as they sit down to discuss Cram's journey into the game, the U23's success at the Euros and a behind the scenes look at what it was like to coach arguably one of Britain's greatest ever prospects - Harry Ford!

Happy Listening!
