We have a very special guest at the top of this episode to explain to us why good players are actually BAD?! We also talk World Series, the death of Deadspin, and hold forth on the man whose very name is ADVENTURE. 

Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Million Dollar Boys, John Henry the Cat, Attaboys to Power, and Abiding Rudeness. Also baseball. @ThatBBShow and leave an Apple Podcasts review, wiggles!

Thanks for tuning into this episode but do keep it at a low volume- we are a month into the Umprising and it's pretty dicey out there. Keep your heads down while we cover (some of) the World Series, Trump's visit to Nationals Park, the dumb and bad Astros front office, and postseason manager moves. 

 

Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about 1 Like = 1 Pornstar, Cascading Brainfalls, The Right Side of 40,and the Wrong Tingle. Also baseball. @ThatBBShow and leave an Apple Podcasts review, contagion!

Ah Gary, thanks for coming in. We appreciate everything you've done Gary, but it's time for you to be plugged into a weird action movie from the 90's. Make your peace as Jimmy and Matt cover pre/postseason predictions, King Felix, MadBum, coach firings and petty beefs. Also sorry we talk about dog butts so much. 

 

Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about The View From Back Here, The Era of Bad Faith, Pirate Cocaine, and the Red-Assed Void. @ThatBBShow and leave an Apple Podcasts review, GARY. 

Sep 5, 2019

This episode was recorded in Denver with our good friend fellow Rox fan Geoff, so we decided what better time to turn Jimmy's weekly grousing into another MST installment. We also talk gas station boner pills (like a lot, CW here), exciting rookies, and do some blasphemy to the Catholic Church (CW here too I guess). 

Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Skeleton Vibrations, Craigton Craigshaw, #GettingPoped, and Ride AND Die. @ThatBBShow and leave an Apple Podcasts review, philosophers! 

Jul 26, 2019

Open up that early newspaper and fulfill some prophecies while Matt and Jimmy talk everything ASG (except the actual All-Star Game), Aaron Boone, field stormers, mustaches, and the Angels. CW: minor bummers and major Midsommar spoilers! 

Listen to this episode if you want to hear us talk about Meeting Joe Prospect, Papa Chapman's High Heat, Early Edition Reboots, Savage Love, and Dollar Shave Club(houses). Also, baseball. @ThatBBShow and drop an Apple Podcast review, graduates! 

Jul 4, 2019

We just want to get out ahead of this; this episode does NOT hinge largely on re-naming a certain minor league team after a fish. Having now said that legally you can't say it does. We also talk London Series, Cookie Monster, the Mets, and a break in the Ortiz case!

Matt's on the bench this week, so what better time than now for a make-up recording with friend of the podcast Mike Sharp! We discuss Mike's career as a T-ball coach, Tim Anderson's very good bat flips and Vladito and Harper while staying away from Cal Ripken's wife.

Jimmy and Matt are the worst gift-givers ever- instead of fun Opening Day presents, they got each other all of the infuriating things we have to ignore to enjoy this season in a real reverse-Magi situation. We make over/under picks and predict division finishes, and anticipate bullpen meltdowns. Also hoops?

We were really worried about the state of baseball free agency until 2 guys signed reasonable deals, now everything is good forever! Let's make a fancy chicken dish to celebrate. We also talk Mike Trout and CC/Jessica Mendoza and the conflicted nature of sports journalism. Delicious!

We did it gang, Edgar Martinez made it into the Hall! Maybe don't ask *how* we did it. Also please call our lawyer, we wasted our one phone call on Edgar. This ep is all HoF- who made it, who didn't, who might. We also dream about what a Manny Ramirez induction speech would look like, and it is glorious.
