Matthew and Toby somehow have quite a bit to talk about. The boys go around the horn on the Nationals book Matthew is featured in, the prize for last season’s preseason prediction contest winner, the fallout from the Red Sox cheating scandal, and MLB’s Operation: Restart.

Matthew, Toby, and Kate Stayman-London are back for another edition of Battery Mates at the Movies to unpack the 2011 Academy Award-nominated film Moneyball, the statement it makes on feminism in hiring practices, and the fact that they stole a key line for Brad Pitt directly from Jennifer Aniston.

Matthew, Toby, and Kate Stayman-London dip their toes into some current events before diving into the extremely second-screenable 2001 HBO film, 61*, for another segment of Battery Mates at the Movies.

Matthew and Toby touch on the latest agreement among players and owners before diving deep into Bill Veeck, Steve Dahl, and the disgraceful disaster that was Disco Demolition Night.

Matthew and Toby (and Kate Stayman-London!) engage in some casual pandemic chat, discuss some baseball deprivation coping mechanisms, and then settle in for a Battery Mates at the Movies deep-dive on Eight Men Out.

Weird times, weird episode. Matthew and Toby try to unpack what’s going on without getting too depressed or freaked out. In lieu of a new baseball season to cover, the program is taking requests for topics (epic games, memorable moments, etc.) to discuss during the shutdown.

Matthew and Toby catch up on the Spring Training haps, the latest on who’s hating the Asterisks, MLB’s very, very dumb proposal to expand the playoffs, the new three-batter minimum rule, the Battery Mates upcoming Texas roadshow, and a plug for your preseason predictions.

In a very special Valentine’s Day episode, Matthew and Toby interview known Houston fan Ross Morales Rocketto about the Asterisks—and, in the meantime, stumble upon a pretty compelling rumor about Bryce Harper.

On the eve of pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training, Matthew and Toby discuss the latest developments with the Houston Asterisks, the impact of the Mookie trade on Mitt Romney’s behavior, and USA Today’s predictions for the 2020 season.

Matthew and Toby drop everything to discuss the breaking news of the MLB report on Houston’s “banging scheme” and unpack the ensuing fallout.
