Rain Delay Theater

Jack and Jeremy welcome old friend and first returning guest Ben Perkins to watch some of our favorite baseball commercials. A newspaper-tossin' Randy Johnson, George Brett going HAM on a bar of soap, and Andre Dawson standing in front of some fake fence samples make appearances as well as a knockin-on-death's-door Tommy Lasorda. Before that, the guys share their thoughts on Tony LaRussa's newest DUI! Fun! Links to all videos can be found at raindelaytheater.com/notes!

This week, Jack and Jeremy touch on the White Sox's Tony LaRussa hiring debacle, revisit their over/unders from the beginning of the season, and talk about some top free agents this offseason. And stay tuned for another late episode Jeremy story of meeting Mick "Mankind" Foley at a Rosemont, IL hotel (1:20:00)

Well, the Word Series is over and Jack and Jeremy bring you a full recap of the bizarre and uneasy postgame celebration with a COVID positive red-beared maniac roaming the field. Many more bizarre things from the series are also discussed including Rob Manfred’s bizarre speaking patterns, the snooze fest of the Dodgers’ owner's prewritten acceptance speech, and Joc Pederson’s unintelligible mumbling interview after Game 5. Oh and of course the crazy end to Game 4 is also dissected in full. But wait there’s more on this supersized episode! In honor of episode 93, the guys also run down the inaugural rosters of the 1993 Florida Marlins and Colorado Rockies. We got a big one here for you to close out the 2020 season! Enjoy!

Hot off the heels of the LCS, Jack and Jeremy run down some recent oddball LCS and World Series MVPs - you're on notice Steve Pearce! The guys also do a bit of recap on the LCS's and play a fun new game of "Do You Like Him?" with the Los Angeles Dodgers. In the spirit of Halloween, Jack shares a colorful and chilling tale of Albert Belle and some trick or treaters. Get ready for the World Series with this week's episode!

With the League Division Series' in the books, Jack and Jeremy recap the goings on in each league. The guys also give their thoughts about the firing of White Sox manager Rick Renteria. Finally, Jack and Jeremy discuss their thoughts about announcer Brian Anderson and Jack doesn't hold back!

It's been a wacky season, the playoffs are here, and Jack and Jeremy are down to clown as they give you their thoughts on the first round's winners and losers. JT Realmuto, bald Dustin Hoffman, and fringe announcers are all part of the discourse as the guys try to make sense of this expanded postseason. Also, Jack attempts a tribute to the late Bob Gibson - will Jeremy *finally* say something nice about a Cardinals player? You already know the answer, but tune in to be sure! And stick around for Jeremy's lengthy story about a String Cheese Incident incident in his college's parking lot!

Jack and Jeremy convene to run down the current playoff picture in baseball and briefly touch on front runners for end of the year awards...but really a bulk of the show is further unpacking the 80s phenomenon that is Spuds McKenzie. The guys also talk about the crazy dude who broke into Fenway Park during a Red Sox/Yankees game and Jeremy's thoughts on a certain Marquee Network pre- and postgame host. Hey #23, you ain't Michael Jordan...but you are listening to this week's Rain Delay Theater!

In honor of MLB's playoff bubble announcement, Jack and Jeremy present each other with three choices of a random mixture of baseball stars, heroes, and misanthropes to enter into a bubble with. And the choices aren't pretty. Who would you rather have in your bubble: Joe West, Thom Brennaman, or Aubrey Huff? Ouch, pretty grim. But the guys must decide in this week's episode - wish them luck!

This week, Jack and Jeremy take a moment to reflect on the top 5 things they each miss about not being able to see live baseball this year. The guys also discuss Billy Hamilton (new Cubs bum), Erasmo Ramirez (general baseball bum), and Joe West (umpire/racist bum).

Inspired by Jarrod Dyson, recent trade acquisition of the White Sox and 50th round draft pick, Jack and Jeremy take a look at some low round draft picks who made it to the majors...spoiler alert, there are not a lot of them! So the guys pivot to a discussion of some of their favorite trades. At the top of the show, the guys also recap some top moves from this year's deadline.
