    Love this podcast!
    Andy and Marc’s friendship shines through. Love the good natured ball busting between them, all the funny re-tellings of stories within the press box and clubhouse, and the smart takes about baseball. I didn’t discover the podcast till the end of the season so I went back and listened to them all. Enjoyed every episode. Can’t wait to listen again in 2021.

    Love the rants
    Very entertaining with great insight into what’s going on behind the scenes in the game of baseball. Andy and Marc use their years of experience on the beat to cut through the noise and they let you know when something is BS.

    Love Andy
    Marc... not so much. Could calm down a bit and not rely on f bombs to make your points for you
  • RookieB27
    No surprise this pod is fantastic
    Two of the best writers The Athletic has to offer talking about baseball together. That’s all you need to know. It’s a great listen.
  • Fergamania
    Auspicious debut
    A little yell-y in spots, but not too take-y. Somewhere between the mumblecore of Effectively Wild and your standard sports talk drive time fare. Andy snitched.
  • fleisdav
    Baseball time!
    Let’s rage it’s baseball time, McCullough and Carig go through some awesome topics without the crap. This is gonna be a fun listen.
