Bat Flips And Nerds

The crew are back to discuss the news that the BBC are showing a game this week. The London Series is right around the corner so they contemplate the bizarre goings-on in St Louis and the state of the Cubs.

They briefly talk about the A's before Russell gets on his soap box and calls into question the purpose and existence of the ejection.

Finally, they go through 2 Good 2 Bad.

John, Rob and Ben talk about two of the biggest stories of the week: the Oakland A's long-awaited announcement of their departure for Las Vegas and Madison Bumgarner's release from the Diamondbacks.

They then dive into some early season overreactions and two good, two bad to finish up, featuring Liam Hendriks, Max Scherzer and... Tom Pringle?!

The team is back to discuss the first week and a bit of the new MLB season.

We 'The B-Team' know you weren't satisfied with those four rambling on about their preseason predictions. So, we have given you over 2 hours of Rob, Gav and Russell prognosticating on MLB in 2023. They've brought back their joker system where one over rulees the other and it was used interestingly.
Come for them discussing the brilliance of the Padres stay for the discussion on the Angels

John, Tom, Darius and Ben get together for their annual predictions show, assigning win totals to all 30 MLB teams and checking the maths to make sure it all adds up.

How low are they willing to go on the A's? Is it another 95-win prediction for the Angels? Is this the year for the Mets? All that and more...
