2023/05/31

This week on the Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony kick back on a slow news week and opt to talk about two very uplifting returns to the game! This comes after brief discussions on Tony's encounters with Yankee Stadium's lizard man (yes, you read that right), and his utter trouncing of Tom in MLB The Show. Once the intro is past, the two get to talking all about Liam Hendriks and Jose Altuve making their season debuts! The duo once again touches upon Hendriks' inspiring trek back to the

This week on The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony manage to not bring up the A's nearly as much this week, but rather trade that off for a healthy helping of Yankees banter - principally their war of pettiness with the Blue Jays over the course of their series. The Yanks don't hog the spotlight forever though, as it was also a weird stretch for the Mets, whose week was defined by an opposing team's logo on their screen, an FCC violation, and an ill-advised move for Gary Sanchez (which

This week on The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony are excited for the start of Spring Training! The biggest story coming from both Arizona and Florida has to be the implementation of the pitch clock, lack of shifts, and the enlarged bases.
