Double Play: A Baseball Podcast

The Padres hosted a fan fest in San Diego over the weekend and the turnout was massive. We're opening the show talking about Padres fans' response to ownership flipping the switch over the last couple years and committing to championship caliber rosters. This leads to discussion about spending in baseball and Mets owner Steve Cohen's comments on not caring how other owners view him. A former guest of this podcast was caught editing his own Wikipedia page and his name is Joe West. We're also reacting to the news of the Negro Leagues being added to MLB The Show '23. At the end of the episode we're giving our personal Mount Rushmore of players for the Expos/Nationals. Enjoy!

The Mets walked it off in a much needed win last night, but it wasn’t without controversy as Jason Kipnis took shots at the veteran presence in the clubhouse and specifically Francisco Lindor. These leads to discussion about Twitter etiquette and how many people Jared has muted while Dallas learns about the existence of the mute feature. Other topics today include Domingo German’s suspension, Jayhay’s Guardians/MLB fandom, Bo Jackson’s hiccups, and more nugs from Jayhay. Enjoy and we’ll see you on Monday!

After what has felt like a month of no baseball, the World Series is finally here! Today we're previewing the 2022 World Series between the Houston Astros and the Philadelphia Phillies. While we all basically agree that the Astros are better on paper in every category, three out of four of us are picking the Phillies to win it all. Dallas is the only one with the balls to pick the Astros. The Astros, on the other hand, seem to think it's going to be a quick series going no more than four or five games. We're breaking down the pitching matchups for Game 1 and Dallas is putting $50K on Kyle Schwarber hitting a leadoff BOMB, courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook. Other topics include Aaron Judge free agency, Roger Maris Jr, the roof being closed for Games 1 and 2, and World Series MVP predictions. We'll see you tomorrow for our Game 1 recap! Enjoy!
