BYC Podcasts

It's 2020. It's a pandemic. It's the holiday season. Scheduling doesn't always work out the way you want so we have a SECOND Mets episode here on Opposite Field! I hadn't talked to this Matt in quite some time so it was easy to forget how constantly optimistic he is about the Mets. Fueled by Miller Lite and Steve Cohen money, we talk the studs in the Mets farm system, who is going to bounce back in 2021, and who he wants to see added to the club and at what cost. Enjoy Episode 27, we sure did!

The first crossover of the modern BYC podcast era is complete as the Cardboard Comrades and Opposite Field teams collaborate to commiserate on the state of the New York Mets! With new ownership seemingly hellbent on winning, Matt Sieczkiewicz is in a weird state of optimism heading into 2021 with some big names already in the fold and many more rumored to be heading to Flushing. Episode 26 is live!

Bowman Draft released this week and it has raised the eyebrows, in both a good and bad way, of collectors. Matt and Trevor discuss their thoughts on the set's player roster, extensive autograph checklist, the hate surrounding certain omissions, and what teams and players they think you can scoop up on the cheap if you are a budding prospector. Episode 2 of Cardboard Comrades, unofficially Guy Fieri's favorite sports card podcast, hits you with that Super Jumbo!

The hot stove has been quite frigid throughout baseball's winter meetings but that hasn't stopped some clubs from getting in some early-bird shopping. Listen as we discuss the early transactions the Royals, White Sox, and Angels have made to improve their squads as well as combing through baseball's ever-changing rumor mill. Opposite Field hits a quarter-century!

Rambly introduction and poor Russian accent aside, this is the debut podcast of Bleeding Your Colors' new sports card podcast: Cardboard Comrades! Matt and Trevor lay the framework for what to expect over the coming episodes as well as stating their displeasure with the Panini Prizm Football release for 2020. The hope is to get at least one of these up a week so I hope you enjoy and so of you even join us on some!

The free agency portion of our Hot Stove Series comes to a close with the position that has had the most action so far in an otherwise dormant MLB winter: starting pitching! Colin and Trevor try to sort through the long list of hurlers on the move, young and old, and attempt to sort through all of the garbled comms regarding the class's prize, Trevor Bauer. Episode 23 (complete with misguided Mike Minor takes) is live!

Bullpens probably lead to more firings on a yearly basis than any other component of a Major League roster, yet here we are in 2020 with over half of the league's closers up for grabs in free agency. Our Hot Stove Series continues with the bevy of relievers available on the market and where we think they could possibly end up. Episode 22 is live!

This one's a long one folks. There is going to be a lot of turnover in left, right, and center this winter. Big money is ready to be thrown around with some changes of scenery a necessity. Who does Houston end up with? Can Toronto lure any of the big names north of the border? Colin and Trevor answer these questions and more on Episode 21 of Opposite Field!

In hindsight, we probably should have lumped in third basemen with the middle infield positions because upon further viewing this is one of the shallowest classes in free agency. Nevertheless, Colin and Trevor talk turkey about Justin Turner and who is ready to answer questions about the aftermath of Game 6 for an entire spring. Don't worry Brock Holt fans, we briefly discuss his future as well. Episode 20 of Opposite Field now exists!
