The Highland Bullpen Baseball and Sports Podcast

In under an hour the Scottish baseball loving Bullpen Bros are back with their weekly round up.

The fans of the Tigers, Red Sox, White Sox and Mariners all the way over in Bonnie Scotland (and indeed Yorkshire) are here to give their unique and fresh insight on America's game from the eyes of British soccer fans.

There's an unfortunate entry for villain of the week (sorry Hamish, it's only a little bit folks) but the boys review Heroes and compare some of the heroics with similar situations in soccer.

What are their weekly highlights and how do they feel their own teams did in week 5 and will Tigers fan Alan have more than one win to review in Week 6?

What did the Bros learn about baseball this week? Our learning zone discusses a listeners question in Triple AAA "ask about anything". 

Plus all the latest from our Fantasy Baseball action, where the Highland Bullpen continue to beat the odds with our team comprised only of Red Sox, White Sox, Tigers and Seattle Mariners. Unbeaten WDWW to be continued.

Cheers and enjoy the chat brought to you by Scotland's baseball podcast for fans around the world. #thescotsheardaroundtheworld

The fans of the Tigers, Red Sox, White Sox and Mariners all the way over in Bonnie Scotland (and indeed Yorkshire) are here to give their unique and fresh insight on America's game from the eyes of British soccer fans.

Preferring to spend more time focusing on Heroes of the Week, (who makes the nominations?) the boys still find a nomination for Villain of the week too.

How do they feel their own teams did in week 4 and what will week 5 bring?

What did the Bros learn about baseball this week? There's always loads happening and plenty to find out.

Plus all the latest from our Fantasy Baseball action, where the Highland Bullpen continue to beat the odds with our team comprised only of Red Sox, White Sox, Tigers and Seattle Mariners continuing their unbeaten start to the season, WDW to be continued.

In Triple AAA "Ask About Anything" listeners give us their questions. And we invite listeners to give us their views on whether a power shift will happen in NYC baseball given the recent ownership changes in the Mets? Host Richard reluctantly compares it to the current changes in Scottish football.

News on a change to our quizzing which will now be a Twitter picture feature!

The Bullpen bros pull no punches when discussed the controversial plans for a European football (soccer) Super League!

Europe's biggest and richest clubs were forced to shelve their plan this time but Alan, Yorkshire Dave and Dave Junior reckon Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Liverpool are unlikely to abandon plans to grab a greater share of football's billions.

And the Bros call out some of the hypocrisy flying around among pundits and broadcasters who have suddenly discovered that greed and money is increasingly controlling the people's game.

It's April, it's the golf season and the blooms are out at Augusta. Bullpen Bro Alan usually regales us with his stories of being at the Masters. Today he is usurped by another mid handicap golfer explain how he got to play at Augusta and how he measured up to his "break 100" challenge!

Euan McLean, a 20 + year veteran of Scottish golf journalism, talks us through his 2006 working trip to Augusta where his name was drawn in the journalists lottery to play the course on the Monday after Phil Mickelson put on the green jacket.

How did he feel over his first tee shot?

How were the greens?

Did he replicate Sandy Lyle from the bunker on the 18th?

Did he break 100?

All these questions and more answered from Euan.

Plus some great insights on watching baseball and ice hockey through various journalistic trips.

Cheers and enjoy the chat.

Why is Opening day so special and what differentiates from the start of our Scottish football season and indeed what is that brings both together? Find out here from the Bros. It's a 34 minute listen and we'd love your feedback on the boys predictions.

Plus we have the scoop on how each of the Bullpen teams of Seattle Mariners, Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers will do in 2021 according to the Bullpen Bros. We have a World Series contender plus we also doubt Alan the Tigers fan misplaced confidence.

Even more exciting the Bros predict where our carefully selected fantasy baseball team will do in the British Baseball Podcasters Fantasy League. Honour comes first for the Bullpen team which consists exclusively of players from our four teams, three of which didn't make last year's expanded play offs. Are they justified as fantasy baseball rookies in their confident predictions?

We also announce the new competition for the MLB in 2021, the Bullpen Division. Featuring only four teams and only the games they play each other. A round of drinks is at stake here in addition to Bullpen pride.

Cheers and enjoy the chat.

The Bullpen Bros complete their Grand Slam of MLB season previews by crossing the Atlantic to team up with SouthSide Zo, from the Pinwheels and Ivy Chicago baseball podcast.

We shoot the breeze about the upcoming Major League Baseball season and Zo lifts the lid on life (and baseball) in the sports-mad city of Chicago.

Zo reveals his love for a famous Scottish sporting export. He's also shocked and delighted when the Bullpen Bros are able to reveal another celebrity White Sox fan, to join former POTUS Barack Obama!

He also discusses how one of his most memorable baseball moments came watching his city rivals, the Cubs.

It's another great episode and sets the scene for the Highland Bullpen's upcoming Opening Day special, when Richard, Alan, Yorkshire Dave and Dave Junior will review what's sure to be a spectacular opening to the 2021/22 baseball season.

Cheers and enjoy the chat.

The Bullpen Bros welcome veteran Detroit Tigers fan Dave Peake to preview the upcoming season. Let's face it we know where the Tigers will be when we get to October so we have some great chat with Dave on his history of supporting the Tigers.

First up Dave delves into his memory banks for the 1968 World Series win for the Tigers. Fascinating for us novice fans listening to someone able to recount key plays from over 50 years ago.

Dave talks next about the 1984 team and indeed we get into a debate about who would win a series between the two teams!

Success hasn't followed the Tigers since then despite another World Series win but we've plenty of good young prospects in the Tigers Dave can talk to us about.

We also get Dave's insights on inter University rival in Michigan sports and as always we enjoy the rivalry chat. Dave questions us about the delights of Scottish football and we promise to meet up in Detroit over a bottle of Glen Ord malt whisky.

Cheers and enjoy the chat.
