Upper Decker Podcast

Mark Buehrle to Edwin Diaz to Cristian Javier to Chappy Charles. The boys hit it all in this one and in the second half, they break down what to expect from the National League East. Will Ty's Braves pull it out in 2021? WILL. THEY. GO. ALL. THE. WAY??? I don't know, but listen to find out if they do. Also, who will reign supreme in the packed NL East in HR, SB, ERA, K, and SV? Check it all out here on the second to last divisional breakdown for 2021!

Uh-oh, looks like the boys all came down with a case of Bieber Fever. Lucky for you, we still made room to discuss the rest of the AL Central in the 4th of our 6 divisional preview episodes. We'll let you know where we think each team will finish in the 2021 AL Central standings, plus give our predictions on home run leader, strikeout leader, and more. Also, a look back at The Freak and his epic, albeit short, prime. Oh, and which came first? Skyrocket Smith or actual rockets? Hmm...

Who are the top 5 starters in the NL Central? Just how bad will the Pirates actually be? Can Yelich have a 30/30 season? We'll tackle these and more as we continue our Divisional Preview series with a stop in the NL Central. Also, which came first: Soup Campbell or Campbell's Soup? And naturally, in honor of his birthday, we have to break down Dock Ellis' famous LSD-fueled no hitter.

Another episode, another divisional preview. In the second week of this series, we take a dive into the ever-so-mediocre American League West, including projected standings, stat category leaders, and much more. Also, should Bobby Abreu be in the Hall? And would you name your kid Abraham Lincoln?

Spring training is underway, and that means it's time for the UD boys to start breaking down each MLB division. This week, we start with the top-heavy NL West. We'll tell you what you need to know about the Giants, D-Backs, Dads, Dodgers, and Rox, as well as give our predictions for overall standings and division leaders in various stat categories.

The UD guys are thrilled to be joined by former MLB player Xavier Scruggs. He guides us through his grind through the minors, majors, and even the KBO. We discuss the state of the MLB today and get an inside look at some of the things Xavier is doing to improve the game of baseball moving forward.

The UD guys breaks down their picks for comeback players, sleepers, and busts (not that kind) for the 2021 season. Also, where does Verlander rank among post-2000 starters? Why is Trey Mancini so happy? And how did we get so drunk?

How is Lance Berkman not in the HOF? We'll chat about that, Trevor Bauer's record-breaking contract, a pitcher named Mother, and a flurry of free agent signings. PLUS, Dan takes the boys to school in his revamped Common Denominator segment.

The UD boys get to spend some time talking ball with the one and only Jessica Kleinschmidt! You know her from NBC Sports' Balk Talk, Cork'd Up Podcast, and her fantastic coverage of baseball in the Bay Area. Also, two of the GOATs had birthdays this week and Ty and Tone plan out their date with destiny in the form of a mashed potato eating contest.

The UD boys honor one of the greatest baseball players of all time. We also break down a flurry of free agent signings and play a few games - some old and some brand spankin' new!
