Flipping Bats and Winning Games

Our deepest apologies both for the lateness of this episode and for some technical difficulties contained in it. There were some hiccups in the editing process, so we present a full unedited conversation (with a couple of mistakes in it) about the All-Star selections, John Mozeliak's grossly unprofessional public slandering of Dexter Fowler, and much more!

In honor of the Yankees' Monday-night resumption of half of a game against the Washington Nationals, here's half of an episode of FBWG! Technical issues struck and rendered the first half of the episode unusable, but we still pack in plenty of discussion of the Mets' current strengths and weaknesses, and much more!

In our 50th episode, Mitch and Ursula discuss the first iteration of this year's Subway Series, Tim Lincecum's release from the Rangers, and we issue an impassioned plea to stop being dicks and just let people like things.

Mitch and Ursula discuss Giancarlo Stanton clowning on Mike Fiers, their all-star ballots, and much more!

In a slightly-truncated episode recorded live in person for the first time, Mitch is joined by friend of the podcast and repeat guest Asher to run down a slightly desolate (and drenched) week in Yankees baseball, and follow up on a couple of things from the last episode. Much fun ensues!

With Ursula in Norway, Mitch is joined by everyone's favorite history-podcasting baseball nerd, Mike Duncan! Mike and Mitch discuss Ichiro, Shohei Ohtani, and what it will take for the Mariners to find thus-elusive playoff success.

Joined by the great J. Keith Van Straaten of the excellent Go Fact Yourself podcast on the Maximum Fun network for the first half of the episode, Ursula and Mitch discuss Albert Pujols' 3000th hit, Ichiro Suzuki's emeritus position, and much more!

Mitch and Ursula discuss the week's happenings in baseball, starting with sending our best and sincerest wishes for a quick and full recovery by Danny Farquhar, then talking about the state of the Mets' rotation, the Yankees maybe turning things around, and much more!

Recording on Jackie Robinson Day, one of the most important days of the season, Mitch and Ursula reflect on MLB's continuing to fail the African-American community, in addition to discussing the current plague of weather-related cancellations of games and much more!

Mitch and Ursula provide their thoughts on how MLB keeps messing everything up. In this case, it's the Facebook-exclusive games. Also, Mitch mildly despairs over the Yankees and Ursula is shocked by how good the Mets are.
