Sliding Into First Podcast

Back to our latest episode, when Brent's friend Matt joins us, as the Mets fan who lives in Philly. We get his prospective on the rise of the 2015 Mets. We say goodbye to Chase Utley's days with the Phillies, then dive into topics floating around baseball, such as changing regimes in Detroit and Boston. We talk a bit of media darling Tim Tebow and why we wish he'd go away. We chat about Brent's recent cross-continent road trip, while James recaps moving to Boston.
