Rain Delay Theater

In light of the recent Mark Grace and Thom Brennaman low points for baseball broadcasters, Jack and Jeremy decide to look at the lighter side of the pastime's mic men with their own top 5 favorite announcer moments. Surely Hawk Harrelson, Vin Scully, and...Keith Hernandez (?) will make appearances. In news roundup, the guys also talk about Zack Greinke's latest weird doings, Steve Stone and his confidence in Rick Renteria, and Chicken McNuggets talk. Be sure to tune into raindelaytheater.com/notes for video clips of a lot of the moments discussed in the episode.

Rain Delay Theater History Class is back this week with 1960s Cincinnati Reds pitcher Jim Maloney - a guy who threw two no-hitters (three, kinda) and you've probably never heard about! But before that, Jeremy and Jack check-in with some current baseball news and stories, including the ongoing game cancellations of the Cardinals, the Ramon Laureano brawl, and what the hell happened to Bryce Harper?

The Rain Delay Boys are back at the ballpark…or at least as close to the ballpark as Major League Baseball will let them get. In a season when the pandemic is keeping fans out of the ballpark, Jack and Jeremy head out beyond the left field wall to the corner of Waveland and Kenmore and become ballhawks for the Cubs/Pirates game. The guys run into a few characters out in the streets including the infamous Mai Tai Guy! Plus, a few laps around the stadium create a few unwanted run-ins with some resident ballpark creatures. Tune into as close to an in-game experience as Rain Delay Theater may have this year!

You're watching a baseball game and a pinch hitter gets announced only to be called back and lost for the rest of the game, you think to yourself, "Man, there really should be a term for what happened to that guy". Well, Jack and Jeremy, joined by special guest Kevin Goggin, have your back, as they dedicate this episode to coming up with new terms for obscure baseball occurrences! The guys even take it one step further and coin a few new phrases for random ballgame attendee shenanigans. Michael Douglas, Megadeth, and the movie "Stay Tuned" are all somehow referenced in this raucous episode. As an added bonus, Jeremy recounts the shocking tale of the time his hitting prowess caused serious damage to his aunt's house. Tune in this week and expand your baseball vocabulary!

With the 2020 MLB season on the horizon, Jack and Jeremy come together to make their annual over/under picks for the year. The guys assess the upcoming year for Luis Robert, Pete Alonso, Cody Bellinger, Gerrit Cole, and more! Jack also finally sees The Last Dance! Over/under 0.5 hot takes from Jack (psst, take the over!).

This week Jack and Jeremy try to give a little primer for the return of baseball later this month. The guys check in on the state of the league, Summer Camps, players opting out, and what the season might look like, if it does happen… As we all await the return of baseball with cautious optimism, check out this week’s episode!

In honor of Father's Day, Jack and Jeremy share some of their favorite and lesser-known father/son combos. Before that, a slew of topics are covered including the announcement on Tuesday that plans for a 2020 season of baseball have been finalized. The guys also briefly recap the MLB draft and talk about a Marcus Stroman-related Twitter feud Jeremy became embroiled in on draft night.

In the second installment of Rain Delay Theater History Class, Jack introduces us to Dave McNally, sometimes overlooked pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles!

Jack and Jeremy are joined by special guest Zachary Greenwood (@zordulations on Soundcloud!) for the long-awaited, highly anticipated baseball card show! The guys dig out some old baseball cards and talk about random players, collecting as a kid, and possibly set up a contest to collect the best through-the-mail autographs? Zachary hosts the first ever edition of "Baseball Names" for the RDT boys. And we also hear about Zachary's experiences living in South Korea and attending KBO games in person! Tune in for this deep dive into baseball cards and be sure to check out raindelaytheater.com/notes or our Instagram (instagram.com/raindelaypod) for photos of all the cards discussed in the ep!

In the inaugural episode of Rain Delay Theater History Class, Jeremy enlightens us about the odd, eccentric hippie-ish Bill "Spaceman" Lee!
