The first pitchers and catchers are reporting today and that means we’re dropping the first episode of our podcast Let’s Get Two!  Let's Get Two is going to be a different kind of baseball podcast. No yelling. No talking about WAR or other obscure stats. It's about the love of the game from the perspective of fans.

Our focus will be on baseball, primarily at non-MLB levels. We're gonna talk MiLB, Indie leagues, College and some MLB. We're going to have officials from several teams on the show and we're going to spend the season going to parks. It’s based on our love of the game, a game we grew up with, a look at baseball from a cultural perspective. 

In this episode, we introduce you to the host, James Christopher and his two collaborators, Timothy Dziedzic and Scott McEntire. They talk about why they love the game and debate the best baseball movies. We discuss our ideas for the show,  the topics we’ll explore in season one and talk about our 5 favorite baseball movies!

We also highlight some of our favorite sports follows. Check out:
