It's Peezy's first week as a Brewers fan, and we quiz him on how hoppy he's feeling to be a part of the Brew Crew.

One of baseball's most misunderstood rules is taught in the infield fly rule. A rule created because a soul's intentions weren't good.

This week at Slow Pitch we take Pat through the journey of choosing an MLB team to root for the rest of the 2026 season. We give him options to choose from and let him pick, but our producers had already made the slide congratulating him on his new team. Did we pick the same team that Pat picked after the examination? Listen to find out!

CALL TO ALL LISTENERS: We here at Slow Pitch want to create an experience similar to listening to a good old fashioned ball game, and nothing enhances the national pastime like keeping score. If you find your attention straying, then we recommend to use this time to keep score and stats. How many time has Nicky Savs said "um?" How many total words did producer Josh speak this week? What's the average amount of time you turned your volume down because Peezy and Nicky's jackhammer voices? We're looking for a listener to also be a Slow Pitch statistician, and if you're interested you can email us at [email protected]. Join the team and you'll get a shoutout on the podcast! Sure you could start your own podcast to receive validation, but shoutouts are swifter and easier to brag about at the dinner table.

Welcome to the first episode of Slow Pitch. Nick Saverino (Nicky Savs) attempts to create a new baseball fan in Pat Sirous (Peezy, "Lie Cheat and Steal" podcast, "How Comedian Pat Fell in a Hole" TikTok virality). Nicky teaches Peezy of the 1983 Pine Tar incident in his piloted attempt to create a passionate baseball fan. We originally wanted to name this episode "New York Nicky Bockers" in reference to the first organized baseball team, but it had nothing to do with the actual episode other than it's the first episode. Most folks suggested that pitching your first episode with a title "too inside" baseball would brush back listeners.
