Leading Off

IT’S FINALLY HERE!!! Spring Training has begun! And by that, we mean that pitchers and catchers have reported, which brings lots of grainy photographs of players stretching in running shorts. Feel the Magic happen.

But really, a day when there are baseball activities taking place is better than any offseason day.

Blowing the Save

Most podcasts try to end on a high note – the perfect coda to a quality program. That’s just not our style. Each week, we’ll end on a weak note, blowing the save with an item that didn’t quite fit into the episode, or something they simply need to get off their chests.
