Jordan is on vacation and Wasso joins me to talk about his experience with Backyard Baseball and the past few seasons of play.  If you listen to the podcast to hear Jordan's hot takes just go ahead and skip this one. 

Go Wombats forever. 

We went long. Extra long. This episode we take a tour of the Backyard Baseball Ballparks and talk about our favorites, our least favorites, and the one that doesn't even deserve a spot in the game. I'M LOOKING AT YOU ECKMAN ACRES.

Here we are. Two teams going head-to-head in the greatest competition to ever take place. I can't wait to watch the documentary in thirty years from now. As the World Series of our BYB league swings into action we clear up some facts from the last podcast and Jordan gets a little pop quiz that he (spoiler) fails miserably. 

Have a question? Want World Series updates?

Brace yourselves, this episode wades deep into the weeds of what happens behind the scenes when you create a custom player. We catch up on where the playoffs stand, and discuss what features we would add to BYB if the sky was the limit.

Jordan has completely lost it and gone off the rails this week. If you ask him, he'll blame lack of sleep but it's just an elaborate cover up for the wild thoughts swirling in that man's head. He offers us a very thoughtful and definitely not crazy theory to the genesis of Backyard Baseball.  It's super fun.

Read all about it.

Also this week, the introduction of a new segment that we've always done, Da News.

There is a Patreon that exists out there and if you're committed enough to give money to his podcast then you should be able to find it. I don't want to shove the link down people's throats especially in this hard time.

The post season has finally arrived. With it blows in Paul M. to give us Vegas betting odds on the teams' chances of making it to the World Series. 

We break down why some days are good and why some days are bad. Specifically for the BYB players and their stats, but also what does make a good day? Cake? Fresh snow?

Today Pat Cook, Captain of the Pirates and surprisingly not the team's cook, joins the podcast to discuss his rise to the top of the National League and role model Vinnie the Gooch. 

The inspiration for the character Vinnie the Gooch comes from the controversial sports commentator Howard Cosell. 

If you know nothing about him,  here's an hour long video about the guy.

The playoffs are storming closer and closer in the 2020 Backyard Baseball season and the final bracket starts to come into focus with only two weeks left in the regular season. A mysterious milk crate hangs out in the clubhouse. Mad Dog goes on a tear while the The Kid is an impostor.

Was this episode out a little late? Maybe.

Did it get done at 2AM? Possibly. 

Are these episode descriptions getting less helpful and more scattered? Absolutely. 

What else do you do with a 20 year old children's game other than get way too deep into shoehorning it into your adult ambitions and manipulating the source code to be destroyed by Jose Altuve? All that and more this week.

Paul McMichael is one of the PM's in the Backyard Baseball League. "PM" stand for "Player Manager", but it could also just stand for "Paul McMichael". Either way he's on the podcast and here to share all about his championship strategies and hopefully offer a sincere apology.
