Talk of a potential 2020 baseball season is heating up and the PosCast is talking about it! Former MLB Pitcher Brandon McCarthy and Rolling Stone's Chief TV Critic Alan Sepinwall join host Joe Posnanski to ponder what a socially distant version of baseball could actually look like.

Following the baseball talk, the crew drafts the things that they've discovered to replace the absence of sports during the global pandemic.

Hi everybody! So,  and I had a little spring training talk! I don’t even remember all the stuff we talked about, I know we talked some Dodgers, some Orioles, some free agents … but, whatever, it’s always a blast to chat baseball with Molly. We’ll try to do a couple of more of these during spring training. If you have questions, leave them in the comments and we’ll try to get to them. And it goes without saying that you should be subscribed to Molly’s newsletter. It’s great on all topics, but particularly on the Dodgers, and that team is going to be utterly fascinating all year long.

Spring Training Talk ... with Molly Knight!

Well, we’re a little more than a month into the season, so Molly Knight (check out her awesome Substack) and I go all around the league to talk about: * The goofy things happening in St. Louis * The Dodgers’ paternity leave parade * The pure awesomeness of Ronald Acuña * The struggles of Juan Soto (though he went 4-for-4 on Tuesday!) * The hope that that the Pirates can somehow keep defying gravity * The more realistic hope that the Orioles can keep defying gravity And much more! Check it out.

Joe and Molly talk the first month ...

Molly Knight and I are back — talking rule changes, talking Andrew Painter, talking Manny Machado, just talking ball. As always, I cannot more strongly recommend signing up for Molly’s Substack The Long Game, where she talks about baseball, creativity and mental health … and plenty of other things as well. She’s the best.

Joe and Molly talking Rule Changes

Joe and Molly are talking World Series again with the wonderful Ellen Adair as we head into Game 6 of the World Series. We talk about what went wrong for the Phillies in Games 4 and 5, how they can turn it around in Game 6, how important it is that they get something out of pitcher Zack Wheeler, and what sort of chaos to expect if the series goes to seven games.

How Will It End?

OK, Molly Knight and I are back talking some baseball — and this time we are joined but the incredibly talented and altogether delightful Ellen Adair in the moments before she headed out to her first ever live Phillies World Series game.  We’re talking about Brandon Marsh’s hair, we’re talking about Rob Thompson’s mojo, we’re talking about whether Game 1 was more exciting for Ellen than her wedding. Fun!
