That Baseball Show

These are trying times, gang. Times like these separate the Milkshake Ducks from the Severus Snapes, and we're not sure which is preferable or even which is which. It's a topsy-turvy world where right is wrong, up is down, and the Twins are in the playoffs. We don't understand any of it either. We make a good sport of it by covering the Nacho Man Phenomenon, milestones and rad plays of the week, last looks at the playoff race, and a touchy subject that swerved into our lane. Take a knee, it's gonna get brutal.

Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Fighting With Actual Dogs, The Expanded Potterverse, Transformer Fan Fiction, Have You Seen This Byron?, Doing Unity Bad, Twin Spidermen, and The People vs. Bill iTunes. It'd be ICE if you gave us a review on iTunes and followed us @ThatBBShow!

We did it gang! The night we recorded this episode marked the 3rd anniversary of our podcast being a thing. Thanks for sticking around! We celebrate by exchanging some gifts relevant to our favorite goofs. We also talk about the insane AL Wild Card race, Shohei Otani, and weird things that happened to baseballs last week!

Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Too Many Pinedas, The Way Math Works, Multiball Tiebreakers, Pedey's Honker-Knock, Eyeball Replacement and Other Body Horrors, Dog Mysteries, and The Otani In You. @ThatBBShow and leave a review on iTunes, agents of chaos!

Gang, I think we ordered too much schadenfreude. Like really, we couldn't possibly eat another bite. While you box the rest up, Jimmy and Matt will cover AppleWatchGate, The Dodgers shameful slide, the first team to clinch a playoff spot, Stanton's "real" HR record, and a very good rookie. Maybe TOO good. *eyes narrow*

Listen to this podcast if you want to hear us talk about Epilepsy Outbreaks, Cheating on a Turing Test, Snowden Closes His Loop, Cognoscenti Membership, The Rookie Singularity, The Second Coming, and Reverse Fan-boying. @ThatBBShow and leave us an iTunes review, Pornbots!

Happy Labor Dabor, y'all! We have a very serious question to ask not only all of you, but also our very special guest Mark Vashro (@mdvashro)- on a scale of 1-10, how good at baseball player are you? 3? Hitter? Very likely? We ask Mark the tough questions, plus we add another terrible first pitch to the pantheon, cover the legal drama of the St. Louis Rally Cat, #allumpsmatter and the NYY/DET brawl. Most of these topics will be straight forward but not all good luck!

Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Cheap Bachelor Party Gifts, Baseball Errata, Kickball Rules, Feline Custody Battles, The Handsomest Manager, and Cody's Tin Foil Hat. @ThatBBShow on Twitter and drop us a review on iTunes if you think we're good t baseball!

We're proud to be the only baseball podcast with the guts to ask the tough questions like "was Captain Planet actually a bad show?" Seriously, about half of the podcast is about that. Sorry in advance. We welcome Podcast Host Emeritus back into the studio (just hush about that) to talk Chris Christie, a minor-league hitting streak coming to an end, Adrian Beltre, and his contemporaries on the all-time hits list. Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Studio Fake News, #AL4Lyfe, Nacho Security, Sexy Singles Want to Boo, Beltre Quirks, Death Before Designation, and Fridge Scum. @ThatBBShow on Twitter, Planeteers!

The trade deadline is upon us! Which teams are buyers? Sellers? The market is heating up hotter than an 8-piece Blazin' Sauce dinner (TM TM TM)! It's chocolate bananas up in here! Man, I'm hungry. I hope another team doesn't use that take advantage of me. We talk J.D., Jose, and discuss whether or not Pablo was underpaid(?!?). We also debut a new interview segment "My Stupid Team"- this week we talk Orioles with friend of the show and LA comedian Bryan Thomas. Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Sandoval Slash Fiction, Actual Panda Defense, Planet Kershaw, Blanchett Comparisons, and Cowboy Identity Theft. @ThatBBShow and rate/review on iTunes, farmhands!

Do YOU know what YOU'D do if the MLB season ended today? Does your family have a plan in the event of such a catastrophe? Are you equipped to survive in a world where baseball comes to a screeching halt 3 months early? ...oh wait, everyone except us means it figuratively. Anyway, we do chat about All Star Weekend and how to fix it, Alex Bregman, George Springer, what an intense weirdo Max Scherzer is, and we re-visit our preseason picks! Listen today, for the SEASON MIGHT END TOMORROW.

Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about ESPYs Winners and Also Winners, All-Star Moon Physics, Dings v. Dongs, Commentator Standards, Gravestone Microstats, and the Fickle Nature of Callbacks. @ThatBBShow on Twitter, you frisky cats!

We're not going to lie, gang- there is a LOT of owl puns in this one. Matt did his best but they were inevitable, and we thought it best to warn you ahead of time. Mad thanks to the Boise Hawks and the Ada Community Libraries for having us and for letting Matt-- I mean, "Whoodini" the Library Owl throw out the first pitch last week! We talk about that experience, plus Matt gives Jimmy another quiz that proves his baseball hipsterism. We also talk no-nos and the NL West! Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Mascot Alter Egos, The Saddest Dab, The Scottish Pitcher, Ruined Sandwiches, Snowflake No-Nos, and Jimmy Goes Heel. @ThatBBShow on Twitter and do leave us a review on iTunes, you cool gangsters!

Happy Single-A Short Season Opening Week, y'all! We know it sounds like a realllllly specific thing to observe, but we take what we can get out here. We celebrate the minors by playing Real or Fake: Minor League Promotion Edition and go over a few real (and really weird) promotions happening this season. We also talk about Mike Schmidt and Jerry Remy and dumb things they've said and we anoint a new Vladimir Guerrero- turns out it's a title, not a name. Savage Tested, Savage Approved, brother!

Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Free Mandatory Liposuctions, You Might Be The Father's Day, Puig's Double Deuce, Baseball (Language) For Dummies, and Muppet Babies Murder. @ThatBBShow on Twitter, dig it!

In the baseball justice system, mascots are represented by two separate, but equally important groups- mascot police, who investigate crimes, and mascot attorneys, who prosecute rogue mascots and make them into bygone McDonald's characters. These are their stories. It's actually just the one. We also talk about some notable basebrawls, Pujols and Kershaw breaking records, the most forgettable no-no ever thrown, and we bring back "Better Know an Old-Timey Baseball Player", this time focusing on the notorious Lenny "Nails" Dykstra.

Listen to this episode if you want to talk about Royal Atrocities, Mid-Brawl Plunking, The Idiot's Arya Stark, Hunter Rushes In, Buster's Good Out Here, Volquez Gets Covfefe'd, and Robbing Lenny To Pay Lenny. @ThatBBShow on Twitter & please rate/review on iTunes, bro!
