Flipping Bats and Winning Games

We recap the last couple of baseball-filled weeks, covering the Yankees' 7-game winning streak, the Mets' injury concerns, and our experiences at Pitch Talks and other baseball events with shout-outs to our friends at a bunch of other podcasts!

Mitch flies solo this week to give a brief update on when to expect the next episode, and to gush about the Yankee's home opener, particularly Michael Pineda's almost-perfect game.

The Yankees' Opening Day shellacking sends Mitch into a nihilistic downspin, but he recovers as we discuss small sample sizes, injuries, the WBC, 5th starter competitions, and close out the episode with some hot takes and bold predictions.

Mitch goes to bat for catch probability and other Statcast information, while we also cover the continuing awesomeness of the WBC, further sad information about Jose Fernandez, the painfulness of almost-great pitchers, and all kinds of other news as the season rapidly approaches.

Mitch and Ursula reunite to celebrate the continuance of spring training (with Mitch gushing about the Yankees' unsustainable Spring success) and complain about MLB's relentless pursuit of pointless pace of play and game time reforms.

Episode 8: Dumb Rule Ideas, Dumber Quotes by Flipping Bats and Winning Games

On a tragic day for baseball, Mitch and Ursula discuss the losses of Yordano Ventura and Andy Marte, the end of Tim Lincecum's career, and the elections to the Hall of Fame of Jeff Bagwell, Tim Raines, and Ivan Rodriguez.

With Mitch's triumphant return, we catch up on some news and then Mitch rambles about the Hall of Fame.

With Mitch incapacitated by wisdom tooth extraction, Ursula brings you FBWG's first solo episode!
