Jose Bautista is bumming us out as a Met, but hey, it's a fun game to talk about guys bouncing around at the end of their career. Also! Teams threatening to move.

We talked about Trevor Bauer announcing to the world he's a broken-by-irony human trashfire like we are with his #BD911 gag, which naturally led to questioning why the Pirates are winning and going deep on Curt Schilling's dumb video game scheme.

We kick off with a lightning round pulling from Tim's copy of Richard Worth's "Baseball Team Names" and then go deep on the three MLB teams with short stop-overs in cities in the mid 20th century.

Max and Tim talk about managers and Shohei Ohtani, by which I mean we also cover Max's favorite Twitter accounts, Bartolo Colon, Kordell Stewart and Dave Righetti's maybe second secret family.

There have been a few interesting surprises so far this season, so we talked about them. Yankees! Pirates! *gulp* Diamondbacks? Also, Josh is still on the phone.

We could've started talking about the current events of MLB, but instead Tim and Josh gloat about going to the MLB Food Fest. Max might not recover.

Max outsmarts himself by making a bunch of dumb claims about the Dodgers, and we look back on the stupid prop bets we made in 2017.

Yeah yeah yeah the Cubs are going to run the table in the NL Central but have you guys even noticed that the Brewers and Cardinals are average teams? Weird, right? 

Keep your eye out for our divisional preview finale later this week!

We kick off the NL section of our previews by talking about bullpen carts (among other nonsense). Then, onto the NL East which is unsurprisingly full of 1 good team, 1 meh team, and 3 teams that should be in the International League.

We wrap up the AL by gushing over how awesome the Astros are. We even had to try and say a bad thing against them. It was hard. Also, the Angels are almost interesting. The less said about the A's and Rangers the better. Oh yeah the Mariners.
