Using your help we've made it to the Final Four in the @baseballpods Battle of the Podcasts tournament as of recording and have a bit of a lead on our opponent, the always excellent Bat Flip Crazy Podcast. Van, Jeff, and Rob talk success, aspirations, and the journey so far before getting into "real" baseball content like what their actual takes on a 2020 season could be as well as looking ahead to 2021. Jeff also took time to create a new projection system called The GMs, and the boys talk both hitters and pitchers as well as what to do with the findings.

On the debut edition of our new interview series, Van talks to Ariel Cohen, creator of the ATC Projections system about everything from how he grew to love baseball, his awesome softball skills, and of course how ATC came to be. Ariel talks his life, baseball, and more in a deep look at what makes him tick.
