A couple weeks into the 2026 MLB season, and already nothing is going the way anyone expected.

In this episode, Megan sits down with the hosts of “Glove Actually Podcast” for an unfiltered conversation on early season storylines, surprises, and of course, the vibes.

They dig into why Opening Day tells you less than you think, the teams (and players) already defying expectations, who might become the next “main character” of the MLB, whether Shohei Ohtani is still in a league of his own, the best ballpark, and why some teams draw fans regardless of record. And of course, they break down the early rollout of the Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS): what’s working, what’s not, and why it might be changing the game more than people realize.

“Glove Actually Podcast” is a female-led baseball podcast that dives headfirst into the game with equal parts insight, humor, and passion. Hosted by Courtney, Hallie, and Melissa, the podcast is for fans who want a bold, silly, and feminine take on America’s pastime.
