Antiques Road House

Keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon your HoF ballot- TBS is crashing into 2018 with...not much, actually. We chat about the frosty-cold hot stove, compare BBWAA Hall of Fame voting to the new Star Wars film, and Better Know an Old-Timey Ballplayer in dearly and recently departed Ms.(!) Mamie Johnson. We also talk about our New Years and resolutions thereof. CW: there is some yartz involved. Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Waitin' On Terminator, Baseball Dies

Hoo boy, come gather around this hot stove and warm your hands like a hobo! This off-season has seen its share of Yankees and losers. I mean, winners and Marlins. I mean, don't be the Marlins. We talk about the Otani and Stanton deals and expand our minds discussing the confusing Miami leadership. Go easy, it's strong stuff! We also chat about player safety and give a brief nod to some new HoFers. Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Proximity to the Bank, The Giancarlove,

Hat Tips To Bat Flips

2017/11/13

WOOOOOOOO!! Bust out the bubbly TBS Nation cuz we won! Don't ask us what- the bit is pretty thin as it is. We wrap up the 2017 World Series, pontificate about the absurdity of ground rules in MLB ballparks, and discuss what a bonehead Yuli Gurriel is. Step into our glass elevator bound for our world of whimsy and being cool about bat flips, you lucky bench players you!

You there! Boy! What day is it? The World Series, you say? Then a Merry World Series to all, and to all good playoffs! We discuss the high holy days of the baseball calendar and dig deep to compare the Dodgers and Astros to see who has the REAL edge. Also, wack old TV shows figure prominently in this one.

Quartz or feldspar? Porous or solid? What are the hot rock trends this fall season? Since we have no other interests at this point in the season, we answer all these questions and more on our hit rock tumbler-enthusiast podcast! We also (and actually) talk more playoffs, rooting interest for fans of eliminated teams, what's up with the Astros, and probably 10 minutes of Pleasantville or so.

Murder On The Casablanca Express

2017/10/05

This latest episode, much like the end of the 2017 MLB season, is really...what's the word I'm thinking of...spunky! Really spunky. Plucky even, if you think about it. We go over our impressions of the AL Wild Card game we definitely watched before we recorded this ep, as well as our season over/under picks and Cy Young/MVP/division predictions. All in all a real gutsy episode. Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about The Real Kirk Gibson, Molitor Singularities, The One True

Hasta La Vista, D**kwad

2017/09/28

These are trying times, gang. Times like these separate the Milkshake Ducks from the Severus Snapes, and we're not sure which is preferable or even which is which. It's a topsy-turvy world where right is wrong, up is down, and the Twins are in the playoffs. We don't understand any of it either. We make a good sport of it by covering the Nacho Man Phenomenon, milestones and rad plays of the week, last looks at the playoff race, and a touchy subject that swerved into our lane. Take a knee, it's gonna

We did it gang! The night we recorded this episode marked the 3rd anniversary of our podcast being a thing. Thanks for sticking around! We celebrate by exchanging some gifts relevant to our favorite goofs. We also talk about the insane AL Wild Card race, Shohei Otani, and weird things that happened to baseballs last week!

Two Course Schadenfreude

Gang, I think we ordered too much schadenfreude. Like really, we couldn't possibly eat another bite. While you box the rest up, Jimmy and Matt will cover AppleWatchGate, The Dodgers shameful slide, the first team to clinch a playoff spot, Stanton's "real" HR record, and a very good rookie. Maybe TOO good. *eyes narrow* Listen to this podcast if you want to hear us talk about Epilepsy Outbreaks, Cheating on a Turing Test, Snowden Closes His Loop, Cognoscenti Membership, The Rookie Singularity, The

How Good At Baseball Player Are You?

2017/09/04

Happy Labor Dabor, y'all! We have a very serious question to ask not only all of you, but also our very special guest Mark Vashro (@mdvashro)- on a scale of 1-10, how good at baseball player are you? 3? Hitter? Very likely? We ask Mark the tough questions, plus we add another terrible first pitch to the pantheon, cover the legal drama of the St. Louis Rally Cat, #allumpsmatter and the NYY/DET brawl. Most of these topics will be straight forward but not all good luck! Listen to this episode if you

Down To Zero

We're proud to be the only baseball podcast with the guts to ask the tough questions like "was Captain Planet actually a bad show?" Seriously, about half of the podcast is about that. Sorry in advance. We welcome Podcast Host Emeritus back into the studio (just hush about that) to talk Chris Christie, a minor-league hitting streak coming to an end, Adrian Beltre, and his contemporaries on the all-time hits list.

A Wing Sauce To Be Named Later

The trade deadline is upon us! Which teams are buyers? Sellers? The market is heating up hotter than an 8-piece Blazin' Sauce dinner (TM TM TM)! It's chocolate bananas up in here! Man, I'm hungry. I hope another team doesn't use that take advantage of me. We talk J.D., Jose, and discuss whether or not Pablo was underpaid(?!?). We also debut a new interview segment "My Stupid Team"- this week we talk Orioles with friend of the show and LA comedian Bryan Thomas. Listen to this episode if you want to

Do YOU know what YOU'D do if the MLB season ended today? Does your family have a plan in the event of such a catastrophe? Are you equipped to survive in a world where baseball comes to a screeching halt 3 months early? ...oh wait, everyone except us means it figuratively. Anyway, we do chat about All Star Weekend and how to fix it, Alex Bregman, George Springer, what an intense weirdo Max Scherzer is, and we re-visit our preseason picks!

Whoo Are You

We're not going to lie, gang- there is a LOT of owl puns in this one. Matt did his best but they were inevitable, and we thought it best to warn you ahead of time. Mad thanks to the Boise Hawks and the Ada Community Libraries for having us and for letting Matt-- I mean, "Whoodini" the Library Owl throw out the first pitch last week! We talk about that experience, plus Matt gives Jimmy another quiz that proves his baseball hipsterism. We also talk no-nos and the NL West! Listen to this episode if

Happy Single-A Short Season Opening Week, y'all! We know it sounds like a realllllly specific thing to observe, but we take what we can get out here. We celebrate the minors by playing Real or Fake: Minor League Promotion Edition and go over a few real (and really weird) promotions happening this season. We also talk about Mike Schmidt and Jerry Remy and dumb things they've said and we anoint a new Vladimir Guerrero- turns out it's a title, not a name. Savage Tested, Savage Approved, brother!

The People Vs. Mr. Met

2017/06/09

In the baseball justice system, mascots are represented by two separate, but equally important groups- mascot police, who investigate crimes, and mascot attorneys, who prosecute rogue mascots and make them into bygone McDonald's characters. These are their stories. It's actually just the one. We also talk about some notable basebrawls, Pujols and Kershaw breaking records, the most forgettable no-no ever thrown, and we bring back "Better Know an Old-Timey Baseball Player", this time focusing on the

Sour news friends, as both this podcast and Parallel Universe President Jeb Bush have something in common- we've both fallen victim to fake news! It might be contagious, so forgive us for not shaking hands- wouldn't want you catching it. Do catch this episode though, as we discuss the Mookie Wilson dinosaur quote, Charlie Blackmon, Claire Eccles, Aaron Judge, cross-team pranks, delightfully awful Rays plays, and a HILARIOUS conversation about ballpark safety. We also fix The Wave! We're on a roll!
