Batting Around Podcast

We get into some extremely Batting Around shit and spend pretty much the whole main part of the show talking about the underground cheesesteak eating competitions at Citizens Bank Park. It's awesome, but it's also kinda gross.

Then on the Patreon side we have an excellent Players to Be Shamed Later segment where we blaze a new trail and do some predictions for upcoming Ps to Be S'd Later. It's pretty much just baseless speculation and slander. We also talk about how you could get us to compromise our principals for a free trip to Dallas.

We're joined by author P.E. Moskowitz to talk about how they got into baseball, Steve Cohen's forced feminization workplace scandal, being a queer baseball fan, the Mets, and some real good mailbag questions. Then on the patreon side we have more Players to Be Shamed Later and a more serious discussion of the Josh Donaldson's racism. Go to Patreon.com/BattingAround for the extra content.

Doink (@doinkpatrol on twitter) of The Pesky Report and The Sunday Morning Podcast is here to tell us how the Boston Red Sox are turning it around. We also finally have a good Player to Be Shamed Later and do some mailbag. Then on the Patreon side we blaze a new trail into the supernatural side of psychosabermetrics and talk about Lauren's mathematical ranking of no-hitters since 2010. Jane is sick so you can't get mad at her if the editing is bad.

We dive into the NL West, not the boring stuff about the Dodgers and the Padres but an analysis of the Diamondbacks and Rockies. The Reds are really really bad. Can the Angels keep this up? Red Sox bad. Mets good? Mailbag.

Then on the premium half (go to Patreon.com/BattingAround for access to this part of the episode and more) we talk about the Joe West podcast, the new Star Trek show, sending weapons to the IRA (PARODY! NON-ACTIONABLE!), and the Batting Around co-host union.

We've got returning guest Liz Roscher of Yahoo News to talk about the Phanatic and the Phillies, Mets, the Yankees letter, good vibes in Toronto, the breaking of a disgusting record, eating raw seafood at stadiums in July and mailbag.

Then on the premium side we're doing another edition of Couching Around for the legendary baseball classic Bull Durham.

*STICK AROUND TO THE END OF THE EPISODE FOR A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE FUTURE OF THE SHOW*

Bonafide YouTube star Bailey Freeman of Foolish Baseball is back on the show and we're talking Guardians, the feral cats taking over the Oakland Coliseum, and since it's Lauren and Bailey talking there's some real analytics sicko and video editing suite stuff in there too. Also a new psychosabermetrics segment, and the potential death (or maybe salvation?) of Stephen's Player to Be Shamed Later. Some fun mailbag questions, too.

Spoiler, we're starting a Patreon! On May 2nd head over two Patreon.com/BattingAround to sign up for bonus podcast content and more!

We talk about Joe West's upcoming podcast, add our first real entries into Players to Be Shamed Later, then do a huge mailbag segment that covers just about everything that happened in the second week of the 2022 MLB regular season.

We're talking opening day, asses, parachuting mascots, John Smoltz, NPB and KBO update, bad owners, mailbag and we debut our new segment "Player to Be Shamed Later."

Baseball is back, baby! No more of this TV bullshit! Jane and Lauren check in from the convoy, then we go over the hot stove stuff since the lockout ended, and close it out with the return of mailbag.
