Batting Around Podcast

Cooper Lund is with us to talk about the Twins breaking their curse, passing the curse onto other teams, and talk about the other previous and upcoming postseason games. We also talk about Blooper getting in way over his head and talk about the sports fan coping mechanisms that become necessary every October.

Go sign up for patreon.com/battingaround if you want in on upcoming Watch Alongs. the one we did for the wild card round was a ton of fun and we'll be doing at least two more of them.

Sean Doolittle is back on the show to talk about how he plans to avoid becoming an online reactionary after his retirement. We also do some postseason hot takes and predictions and arrange a potential Thunderdome type situation in the event of a Twins/Phillies World Series. It's a really great conversation and a look back at a great career. Congrats, Sean.

Our good buddy Manu of My Brother, My Captain, My Podcast and NotACast is back for our pre-postseason tradition of taking it easy for a bit before the chaos of the playoffs. We catch him up on the what's going on with the last week of the regular season, then spend some time talking about movies and TV shows, video games and labor strikes, and of course the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

It's Big Beer Friday, or it was yesterday anyway.

Our friend Marc Normandin is back to talk about his new project, Doom at 30, which you can go back on kickstarter now! We talk some baseball stuff that we missed during our unexpected week off, get mad at a real guy and a guy we imagined, and talk about what sports we think should cease to exist.

We make our glorious return after taking last week off, and oh boy do we talk about a lot of baseball stuff in this one. It's a really fun one even though our audio recording program mangled Jane's track.

PUP guitarist Steve Sladkowski is on the show this week to talk about the Blue Jays, scoring games, stadium renovations, and the Jays winning the 2015 World Series.

We tore ourselves away from Baldur's Gate 3 long enough to talk about baseball fights and a bunch of stuff about the Orioles. I'd write a longer description but I gotta go play more Baldur's Gate 3.

Bobby and Alex from Tipping Pitches are on this episode and we're holding Stephen accountable for his crimes.

Big trade deadline episode! We've got a week until the deadline, so we go over where all 30 teams stand, who is likely to go, who needs what, who should push all the chips in and who should pack up and try again next year. Then we talk Barbenheimer a little bit and do some mailbag.

On Wednesday, July 26th we'll be doing a watchalong in our discord for our patreon subscribers. Come hang out with the hosts of the show as we watch the Orioles play the Phillies at 6:05pm eastern. Go to patreon.com/battingaround to sign up for that and also to get our bonus episodes.
